Chapter 162 - 160 - Present

PEGGY POV

We were listening to Jayden's father's story about his friendship with his wife and my father. I couldn't believe that they were really good friends when they were young.

Jayden's father was still hopeful. I can see it in his eyes and from the tone of his voice.

"Dad didn't you feel any anger towards me when you found out I am his daughter?" I asked.

He smiled at me and shook his head.

"I'm thankful, Peggy. Jayden found his true love and you gave us Caden. Now, you are giving us another angel." He answered..

I can see the sincerity from his eyes and I was relieved hearing those words from him.

"Are you really okay confronting him now?" Jayden asked.

"I should've done it a long time ago. Peggy, your father was a good man. He was born in a world full of sorrows. I'm not saying that's an excuse from everything but at least I am hoping that you can understand him. Don't worry about me. We will talk to your father. I also have an unfinished business with him."

I nodded and turned to Jayden.

"How can we reach him?" I asked.

"Call Venice. Let's see if she can find a way to bring your father alone here."

I was surprised when he said to bring him here but I think it's better if he would stay with us for a few days.

We called Venice and told her about our plan. She agreed but it would be dangerous for them if they were left behind, so we asked them to come.

Venice will ask father to take them somewhere. She said she can convince him that Timothy will be their driver and his father usually doesn't bring bodyguards when he's with them. But for them to bring him here in peace, they have to put him to sleep.

"Venice, be careful. Are you sure you can do this?" I asked, worried.

"Yes. Don't worry. Whatever happens, I will bring him to you tomorrow." She answered on the other line.

That night, I couldn't sleep. I was pacing back and forth so Jayden carried me to bed. He wrapped his arms around my waist so I wouldn't stand up.

"Love, please. Can you try to sleep? It would be bad for the baby if you always worry." He said in a gentle voice.

I took a deep sigh and pouted.

"I can't help it, I'm sorry."

"Hey. I know what you're feeling right now. I'm also kind of nervous and anxious, you know."

I looked at him with a frown face. He doesn't look like he's worried. Ever since we got married, he wasn't the Jayden who easily got mad. He was trying hard to keep calm in everything.

He chuckled and gave me a peck on the cheek. I felt his hug tightened while he buried his face on my neck.

"I'm always worried. I just don't want to show you. But ever since your father took you, I always feel anxious. Especially now that you're pregnant. I don't want to lose you and the baby, Peggy. So promise me that you won't go anywhere this time." He murmured.

My heart melted again. He was afraid that I would leave him again. I may not go far away from him but he was thinking that someone would take me again.

"I'm not going anywhere. Let's finish this. I hope everything will be okay." I said, giving him a kiss on the forehead.

I don't know how I managed to fall asleep. Maybe I got exhausted from thinking and feeling worried. But when morning came, I was more restless than ever.

We agreed not to contact each other throughout Venice's part. She basically does everything as we wait for them to arrive. She would call me when they arrived at the entrance of Primrose.

We were in the living room, waiting. I would sit down then stand up and would walk back and forth while Jayden was reading something. I know he was keeping himself busy so he wouldn't get too anxious like me. Jayden's dad was also calm, drinking tea. He was always quiet and I have never seen him mad.

My heart started pounding when we received a message from Venice that they had entered Primrose. Jayden replied and gave her instructions on how to get here.

I was even nervous when I heard a vehicle enter our gate and park in front of the house. Jayden signaled to Owen and his cousin to take the car while the other guards circled around it.

The door opened and Venice came out. She was smiling but I could see fear in her eyes. Then my other two half sisters got out of the car and ran towards me.

"Sister!" They shouted in unison while jumping into my arms.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

They nodded but I could feel their bodies trembling. I hugged them tight, reassuring them that they're safe now. We weren't that close but I suddenly felt the love of a big sister for them.

"You did great." I whispered to Venice then pulled her, giving her a hug.

She suddenly burst out crying which I understand because she was too scared. Not just for herself but for our sisters.

We went inside the house while we watched the guards carry our father in the bedroom we prepared for him. Jayden didn't order to tie him up or at least handcuffed his hands. I protested at first but he said we have to show father that he's not a prisoner here.

While we waited for him to wake up, I took the girls to their new bedroom.

"I'm sorry only one room was prepared for the three of you. But don't worry, tomorrow you will have separate bedrooms." I said.

I still feel awkward towards them and couldn't express how I really felt. I have been an only child ever since so I don't know yet how to be a big sister.

"Don't worry about us. We're okay in one bedroom." Venice said.

I was about to say something when Jayden came in.

"He's awake. Let's go."

My heart started pounding again. I felt like my chest would explode from nervousness. Jayden held my hands, kissing them.

"It's time. I will be beside you. I won't leave you." He uttered.
