Chapter 37 - Dug Their Own Grave

"Great, on which street your apartment is? What is the name of your apartment?" Rachel asked, she doesn't mind teaching Jimmy in the weekends and she was anyway planning to go to office on the weekends too to cover up for her absence but since it would be a weekend she will work for less hours in the office and spend rest of the time teaching Jimmy, she really feels bad for this cute guy and she would also get a chance to spend more time with Daniel so she quickly showed interest in this request.

"Upper Riverside, Greenwich Peninsula Area." Daniel said and gave her the detailed address.​​

"Okay done" she noted the address on her new phone, since she lost her phone she ordered a new one and it was delivered in the morning.

"Daniel give me your number" Rachel asked, after he gave it she gave him a call and informed him it is her new number and asked him to save it.

Anthony and James looked at each other and smirked in satisfaction.

Rachel then sent Daniel the money she owed to him, Daniel didn't refuse as he knew she wouldn't listen to him and silently accepted it.

Daniel asked "When are you planning to go to your office?"

She replied "I had to go from tomorrow, since there is an important deal and I am needed there. I also need to catch up with all the latest updates, I already did but it is not enough."

"I can understand, it will take time but ensure that you also take care of yourself. In case you need something, give me a call" Daniel said, he was worried because of the second attack on her and since he can't say anything about it he subtly asked her to take care of herself implying she should be more protected.

Anthony then asked Rachel, "Rachel can you do me a favour too?"

"Sure grandpa, tell me what to do"

"Catherine was very fond of you and she was eager to meet you. Since the last time we have postponed the meeting, she was more eager to meet you and you were not here for three months so I somehow managed but now as she came to know that you are back and so is Daniel..." he stopped suddenly.

"Tell me grandpa, don't hesitate what happened?"

"Your grandpa and I had dropped the idea to get you two married as both of you didn't show any interest. But, I haven't said anything to Catherine yet and she knows nothing about your accident, she thinks you went for a business project, she will be hurt to know that you are not interested in Daniel." he stopped again and wanted to see Daniel and Rachel's expressions.

Rachel and Daniel looked indifferent as if grandpa was right and they really didn't want this marriage alliance, grandpa cursed in his heart and thought, 'Not Jimmy, these two should have been actors.'

On the other hand, Rachel and Daniel were cursing themselves as they dug their own grave and rejected the food served on a platter but since they didn't want the other one to know what they were thinking they pretended as if they agreed with grandpa.

So, grandpa continued "Catherine is mentally prepared that you are her daughter-in-law, as I don't want to upset her now I am not going to tell her anything yet, let us pretend that everything is fine till we find a way. Is that fine?"

"Sure grandpa, I understand"

Michael said "Ok, so this is the plan and we have to be careful. Jimmy, have you understood? Don't spoil our plan." he warned glaring at Jimmy

"Why do you always target me?" Jimmy said annoyed, he felt wronged.

Anthony said "you built your image in a such a way that nobody will ever trust you, momma's boy"

Daniel interrupted grandpa and said "don't make fun of my brother, he is the best"

Jimmy raised his head proudly and said, "ultimately siblings come to rescue."

Rachel smiled seeing the affection between the two brothers.

Rachel looked at Anthony and said, "Grandpa can I meet Aunt Catherine, I really want to thank her for being there for me during my childhood."

"Is that so?"

"Yes"

"Would you like to go shopping with her? She loves shopping."

"Sure grandpa, I too love shopping"

"Women I tell you" Jimmy taunted.

"What are you taunting her for, you too love shopping" grandpa Anthony snapped at him.

"Well that's true, can I join you two?" Jimmy asked Rachel

"No need, let them spend some alone time." James warned Jimmy.

Jimmy pouted in disappointment.

Anthony said, "Rachel I'll ask her and let you know, if it is fine with you I'll give her your contact, why don't you discuss it together."

"Sure grandpa"

Then Rachel shared her number with the other two grandpas and since Jimmy was feeling ignored she gave her number to Jimmy too and he instantly became very happy and secretly saved her number as 'sister-in law'.

Jimmy reminded Rachel that she should spare time to teach him and Rachel responded "Of course, I will". Jimmy got very happy and excited as he felt he will reach his goal soon.

Maid then bought coffee for everyone and after drinking it, Michael said that, "I had a good time today as every time we three used to spend the day but today was more special as these children too spent time with us. With these kids the time had passed so fast that I was not aware it was already evening and time to go back home, I'll take my leave then."

Both other grandpas agreed with him and said that they too had the best time till now and told the kids to spend more time with them like this.

Jimmy, Daniel and Rachel promised they will.

Then Anthony left with the driver and Jimmy decided to go back home with Daniel as he had a lot to discuss. Saying their goodbyes everyone left.
