Chapter 68 - I Can Not Let Her Go

James Thomson promised himself that day not to visit that place until he become powerful enough to stand in front of his grandfather, which took him quite a long time. Although he missed his first love, he tried to keep himself busy in the studies, so that he can win against the low thoughts of his grandfather.

Time passed by. He joined Trudomonion Private Limited as the CEO and become the right hand of his grandfather. He tried hard to stand strong in society. Everyone in the Thomson family was happy to see the new James Thomson in front of them. He made Trudominion Private Limited the leading company in country C.

James Thomson was also very happy as he was about to reach his aim of life. One day announced that he is going to search for his first love in the mountain village. Everyone shocked to hear his announcement. They thought that he might have been forgotten her in all these years. Gerard Thomson the one most shocked. He could not utter a word for a long time. He looked straight at his grandson with his piercing eyes.

"Grandpa, I know you must be shocked. But I forget her. I know you hate her, but I like her. I could not forget her for a single moment in all these years. Thirteen years are not short. I know that it would not be easy to search for her. But I just can not let her go. I can not help you in this matter."James Thomson said in a bold tone. Mr. Gerard Thomson stared at his grandson for some time and nodded.

"Ok."He said in a low voice.

James Thomson stunned to hear him. What! His grandfather agreed to him! Is not it strange? He looked at his grandfather suspiciously.

"Hey, punk. Don't give me that look. I have understood now. That girl has left a deep impression on you. I know that you are not going to let her go, even if I tell you to do so. James, Liam has deceived me and left the Thomson family. And my precious Daisy is also left for her studies. I don't think that she would return to us soon, as she would have to marry someone one day and leave the Thomson family.I only have you now. I can not let you go because of that girl. I will help you to get her back." Mr. Gerard Thomson said in a low voice.

James Thomson was looking at his grandfather with wide eyes. He could not believe in his own ears.

"G..... Grandpa, a....are you really accepting her?I.....I just can not believe this!"James Thomson said in a shocked tone.

"Yes, my grandson, I am going to accept her. I am going to search for her myself. You just wait and see, what this old man can do. I will do my best to make you the happiest man in this world. I have seen a lot of dreams for you. I am going to fulfill everything."

"Grandpa, thank you . Thank you for accepting her for me. Now I can sleep in peace."

"Yes. You just give Trudominion Private Limited your best. I will take care of your private life."He said and dialed his assistant's number.

"Hello, Thomas, you send my people and search for the girl for my grandson...What was her name?...Yes.Samie.Make sure to bring her here safe and sound." Mr. Gerard Thomson said and hung up the call.

"See,I have kept my promise. Now you have to promise something to me." Mr. Gerard Thomson said.

"A promise? What is it? I will do anything for my grandfather."James Thomson said with a smile.

"James, you know that I am not young anymore. I have been sick recently. The doctor said that my heart is not strong anymore. That's why I want you to think about me also. I am not going to live long ." Mr. Gerard Thomson said in a sad tone.

"Grandpa, what are you speaking about? You are still strong. You are going to live a long time."

"I too hope so. But I want you to promise something ."

"What is it, Grandpa. Just tell me."

"James, I will try my best to search for your girl. But, by chance,...I am saying by chance, if I would not be able to find her, you have to marry the girl, whom I select. Is it ok with you? Look, I can not wait very long to see my great-grandchild, you know. That's why I am telling this. Will you do this for me? I can not see you remain a bachelor for your whole life."

"Grandpa, that time would never come. I will find her surely."

"James I told you by chance."

"Ok.I will see that. But we need to search for her now. I believe she is waiting for me somewhere. I just need to find her.Anyways.Thank you very much for understanding and support me.I love you, Grandpa. "James Thomson said and left his grandfather's room happily.

Mr. Gerard Thomson smirked to see the leaving man and dialed a number.

"Hello, Mr. Porter.Congratulations!Be ready to be my in-laws. I am going to share this good news with others very soon. Just wait and see."He said and hang up the call.

"What do you think of me, my dear Grandson? Did you think that I will let you do everything you want to do? No, James. I can not compromise with my status for your heart. You will forget her very soon."He said and laughed loudly.

He did not know that someone else was also present there and listening to him. It was Catherine Thomson. She shocked to hear her father- in- law.She knew that her father - in - law was a heartless man. He can do anything for his business. But she could never think that he can trade his own grandson also, for his status and position. She felt heartbroken.

'How can do this to his own grandson? Is he still called himself a human? No, I can not let this happen.'She sighed and left the place thoughtfully. She reached in front of his son's room and knocked at the door.

"Son, can I come in?"Catherine Thomson asked in a low voice. She did not hear anything from inside. She sighed as she knew that James Thomson would not reply to her.

"I am coming in."She said and entered the room. James Thomson was listening to a song.

"James,I..."

"Oh, mom, are you here to say that you are upset, as my grandpa has agreed with my choice? Mom, You need not say, anything mom. I know that you would be the most unhappy person in this world if I get her back. But I am telling you that you need not be unhappy, as I am not bringing her to you. So, be rest assured of that. Now you can leave. I am very happy today.I don't want someone to make me unhappy with unnecessary things."James Thomson said in an angry tone.

"Son,I know you are still angry with me for that day. Son, I was not strong enough to help you that day.I am sorry that I could not help you that day."

"Oh.Mom.You should not be sorry. Did not you tell me that you were very busy? Go, and do your work, please. Don't bother me with your presence. Please leave."

"Son, I am here to speak you something important . It is not what you are thinking.I h...."

"Please stop mom. Don't act that you care about me. If you did help me a little, I would not have lost her. Now I don't want to hear any excuses from you. Please leave.No, I am leaving. I just can not bear your presence more."James Thomson said angrily and left.

Two months passed. James Thomson waited eagerly for the good news. But he never got that news.

"James, I am sorry. I could not find her. My people tried their best, but could not gather anything about that girl. Thomas has just returned from that place, but got nothing." Mr. Gerard Thomson informed James Thomson one day.

"What do you could not find? Have they asked the villagers? They should check the village cards, where her name should be. Thomas, did you checked the village cards?"James Thomson asked worriedly.

"Yes.Young master. I went there myself. But got nothing. I tried every possible way to search for her. But could not gather any information."Thomas Replied.

"How can this be possible? I have to check all this myself. There must be something."James Thomson mumbled.
