Chapter 39 - She Is My Family

"Stop. Don't go."James Thomson uttered.

"But,..."Nina Anderson tried to speak but stop to see his expression.

"James, what is this? Did not I tell you that it is a family matter that we are going to discuss? Why are you stopping her?" Mr. Gerard Thomson asked in an angry tone.

"Because she is also now a family member of Thomson's."James Thomson said in a calm tone.

Nina Anderson stunned to hear him. She felt like some butterflies in her stomach. She looked at the handsome man in front of her with spellbound eyes.

" What do you mean by she is also a Thomson? How dare you? Do you think that just anyone can be a family member of our family? What is she? What is her status in society? Does she even know her real name?"The old man was very angry now.

"Grandpa. You don't have any right to speak ill about my wife.I already told you that she is my legally wedded wife."James Thomson replied in a cold tone.

"You punk! How can you speak to me like this? You have spoiled already this much! That is the main reason behind selecting a good girl for you. Now, look at you. She had done this. You even speaking top grandfather like that." Mr. Gerard said and got up.

"I don't think I have to discuss anything with you now. I will do as I wrote in my will now. I will see how much she can protect you. But remember one thing. She is behind your money. One day you will be lost everything for her. That day you will come to me one day. That day is not far ."He added and forwarded toward the door.

"Grandpa, she is not like that. Marrying her was my decision. Please don't blame her for that. She is innocent."James Thomson said from his place. Nina Anderson stunned to hear him.

'Is he trying to protect me! Oh, why am I feeling so good!'She thought.

"What do you mean by marrying her? Are....are you really married to this girl?"Nina Anderson came back to the present to hear the angry voice of the old man. Now he was standing in front of James Thomson.

"Yes, Grandpa. I am really married to her. Here. Have a look."James Thomson said and pull out their marriage certificate from a file he was holding.

He brought it with him to show it to his grandfather as it was kept in his car. He knew that his grandfather would not be going to believe them easily. Mr. Gerard Thomson sat down on the couch with a thud. He just could not believe in his eyes. He could never think that his grandson would go that far to protest.

"Mr. Thomson, a.......are you fine?"Nina Anderson reached near the old man worriedly and asked. He could not utter a word for a long time.

"Grandpa. Please be calm. Please try to understand me. I too want to live my own life. Please don't make things hard for everyone."James Thomson sat down near his grandfather and held his hand. His Grandfather stared at him thoughtfully. Suddenly he remembered something. His expression changed immediately. James Thomson stunned to see the happy eyes of his grandfather.

'Why is he look happy now? Was not he too angry a moment ago? What has got this old man?'James Thomson thought and looked at his grandfather curiously.

"Are  not contract marriages common now- a -days?" Mr. Gerard Thomson asked with a laugh and looked at the pair in front of him. They felt like their hearts would explode to hear his words. They looked at each other for a second.

"Wh.....what do you mean by contract marriage? We are not in a contract. Look how much I love her."James Thomson said and got up. He pulled Nina Anderson towards him and kissed her on her lips. Nina Anderson was not ready for this. She looked at the man with her wide eyes.

"Wh.....what are doing?"She asked in a nervous voice.

"Shhh...."James Thomson winked at her.

"Darling, let us show my grandpa, how much I love you. Why are you protesting?"He asked in a loud voice and hugged her tightly.

"N......no I .....I mean I am n.... not comfortable in front of him. It.....it is the bad manner after all. Please let me go. We ....we can do i....it in our room."She uttered somehow and tried to free herself from his grasp.

"Don't worry darling. We can anytime do it in our room, but now he is not believing our marriage, so I think we should show him some of our activities. Isn't it?"He said and smiled. Nina Anderson blushed hard.

'What a shameless man! How can he tell this in front of his own grandfather? Has not he got another way to make him believe in his words?'She thought and looked at the old man shyly, who was staring at them.

"That is enough. Are you two going to do that thing also in front of this old man? How shameless! Are you really my own grandson? How can you show your Public displays of affection here?" Mr. Gerard Thomson said in an annoying voice.

"Grandpa, I am sorry. But I just can not stop myself to do these things to her. I like her very much."James Thomson said with a flirty smile and winked at Nina Anderson. Now she was nervous as well as shyer than before. She started to cough vigorously.

"Oh, darling? Are you sick? Have not you taken care of yourself? You are too careless. Now go to our room and have some rest. I will come after some time."James Thomson said in a worried tone and offered her a glass of water. Nina Anderson gulped down the glass of water and left the room hurriedly.

Mr. Gredard Thomson sighed and got up.

"Are you leaving?"James Thomson asked in a happy tone.

The old man did not reply to him and left the house without looking back. James Thomson sighed in relief and closed the door.
