Hearing the concerned voice of Myra, finally Mrs. Brown looked at her daughter and asked her, "Both of you hadn't eaten anything yet? It's already so late!"
Alonzo too sat in front of his mother on the bed and took her hand in his before saying, "Mom.. How can you expect us to eat anything without you? I know whatever happened today is quite a big shock for you but trust me…
Your, not having dinner won't solve any problem Mom. But it'll make your health worse. So please have your dinner."
Mrs. Jones looked at both of her children and smiled weakly before nodding her head as she said, "Fine.. But you both have to eat with me.."
Alonzo and Myra happily agreed with this as the three of them had their dinner with small talks..

Alonzo's room...
Alonzo sighed and rested his head on the headrest. Closing his eyes, he thought about the whole day incident and suddenly one teardrop fell from his eyes.
No matter what, Mr. Brown was still his father and somewhere in his heart, he felt the pain for him..
He was busy reminiscing about the day's event when someone's face flashed into his mind.
She was beautiful, without any pores on her skin. A natural kind of glow was radiating from her whole body, making her look more enchanting.
Alonzo was truly mesmerized with her beauty. Her voice sounded so magical to his ears that he wanted to hear it again..
But how?
Then he remembered that the girl whose beauty had already attracted him, had given him her number..
So without waiting for a second, he hold his phone and dialed the number.
But to his bad luck, even after it ringing for a while, she didn't pick it up..
Feeling sad, he cut the call and keeping his phone on the side table, slept off, thinking about a new day when he'd finally be out of all this nightmares and could lead his life happily with someone special who would love him wholeheartedly...

Jones Mansion...
Mrs. Jones had welcomed her son and daughter-in-law very happily. She was so much happy that finally she'd be able to spend some time with her son along with her beautiful daughter-in-law.
All of them were already done with their dinner and now was sitting in the living room, talking nonchalantly.
Everyone was happy, leaving only Amelia who was sitting their silently with a sad face as no one was involving her into a conversation.
She was feeling like she was an outsider in the house as everyone was ignoring her purposefully.
But she was still happy that her brother was back. She had always blamed herself internally for her brother's death.
Now that he was finally here, she was happy.
Not only that, today she came to understand something by watching the couples that love was not some kind of material to easily snatch away. You need to feel it in your heart.
Maybe she really loved Henry but he didn't love her back!!
For him, it was always Lucinda who had won his heart. She was the stupid one here to believe that she could stay Henry away from her if she could create misunderstandings between them.
But today, Veronica's words resonated in her ear. If she'd have really loved Henry then she'd never play dirty tricks on him six years ago.
It was all in the past and now she wanted to forget it all and move on her life. But before that, she need to apologise to everyone whom she had hurt, specially Lucinda..
While she was thinking this, Mrs. Jones said, "Lisa, you must be tired by now. Go child and take some rest."
Lisa smiled and replied, "Mom, I'm still not tired. I just want to spend some time with you and talk to you to my heart's content."
Andrew smiled at his wife and pecked on her forehead, making Mrs. Jones beam at them.
They kept talking when suddenly Mrs. Jones asked, "When are you going to tell about it to Dad?"
Andrew sighed and said, "Mom, you've already called Dad to come here tomorrow to talk about Amy's matter. Right?
He even had booked his flight ticket already. So after he come back, I'll give him the surprise along with other elders."
"Hmm.. That seems to be a good idea. I can already imagine his joyful face after seeing you." Mrs. Jones said as she caressed his left cheek.
She then moved a little bit close to Lisa and handed her the milk which was kept on the table before saying, "The milk is already chilled now. So now drink it without any complain. The saffron mixed in it is really good for both you and the baby's health."
Although Lisa made a face at first but one stern look from Mrs. Jones was enough to stop her from complaining.
Giving her a sheepish smile, Lisa quietly drank the milk pressing her nose so the smell couldn't make her vomit.
Seeing her adorable act, both Mrs. Jones and Andrew chuckled at her while Amelia just smiled.
After Lisa was done with it, Mrs. Jones ordered, "Now both of you go to sleep. It's already late now. If you want to chat with me, you can do it tomorrow but before that, your rest is a must."
"Okay Mom.. I understand. Good night then." Saying that, Lisa stood up from the couch with Andrew's help and went inside their room.
Amelia saw them leaving. Then she too turned towards her mother and muttered, "I'm going to my room too. Good night Mom."
Mrs. Jones didn't greet her back but only said, "Your phone will be with me till your father come here. Till he decide what he want to do with you, you're not taking any step out of this home."
Amelia nodded her head and ran towards her room. Quickly locking the door, she rushed towards her bed and pounced on it.
Hiding her face in the cushion, she cried loudly for hours before falling asleep.
