Chapter 217 - Edward Bentley

"What happened dad? Why are you smiling so much?"

Anthony had a huge smile on his face, "Catherine, Daniel is going to Ireland for some operation…"

"Yeah so?"

"Rachel too will be going with him"

"Wow, that's amazing. Father, is something going on between them?" Catherine curiously asked him.

"We also had our doubts but I guess nothing is going on yet"

"Yet?"

"Just now Rachel told James she is planning to propose to Daniel in Ireland" Anthony excitedly informed his daughter-in-law who was delighted to know this.

"Wow my daughter-in-law is going to be just like me" Catherine recollected the days when she proposed to Harry.

"Hahaha, we can make this our family tradition" Anthony joked and the two people laughed.

"What is so funny you two are discussing?" Harry who just came home from the office joined them.

Catherine excitedly informed him that Rachel would be proposing to Daniel.

Harry helplessly shook his head, "Can you all stop gossiping about our kids? Give them their privacy and stop being so nosy" Harry coolly scolded his wife and father.

"Catherine, how did you fall in love with a boring man like him?" Anthony questioned Catherine who pouted.

"I know right? I too regret it" 

Harry glared at his wife.

Catherine then excitedly messaged Jimmy with this latest gossip ignoring her husband's stare.

…

When Jimmy came back home at night he was very tired.

After his office he directly went to his auditions and from there he came to Daniel's home.

As Daniel's house is closer to the theater, travelling was made easier for him.

Jimmy came home to see Jessica working on the laptop and Daniel reading some files while also researching something on the laptop.

"Woah, look at you two working so seriously" Jimmy commented and joined the two busy people.

"How was your day?" Jessica asked him, not moving her sight away from her laptop.

"It was damn tiring. Why are you two working so much?" 

"My new project just started, so there is a bit too much work"

"Then will you be fine in Rachel's absence?" Daniel asked her.

"Yeah, yeah, it is manageable, that was why I insisted she go with you" Jessica assured him.

"Thanks for this suggestion, you are the best" Daniel praised her as he too wanted to spend more time with Rachel and Jessica gave them a nice idea.

"After you are back from the trip, you will thank me even more and might even give me a gift" Jessica naughtily smiled but Daniel didn't understand the meaning behind her words and he didn't bother himself with it.

"Wait, what is going on?" Jimmy was confused with their conversation.

"Rachel and Daniel are going on their honeymoon to Ireland" 

"Jessica…" Daniel glared at Jessica who was having fun teasing him.

"Woah, woah, woah" Jimmy sat next to Daniel and all his tiredness was gone.

"Dan, I know you are not very experienced, I'll give you some tips and…"

"Jimmy, do you want me to throw you out of my home?" Daniel glared at his brother and he looked very scary.

Jimmy went back and sat next to Jessica, "You are not experienced so out of goodwill I was helping you but you just can't appreciate it, can you?"

Jessica laughed as she always enjoyed the conversations between Jimmy and Daniel.

"I don't need your help, you first look at your own self. How long has it been since you were with a woman?" Daniel taunted his brother.

"Oh yeah, Jimmy, what is wrong with you?" Jessica too was surprised as Jimmy never stays single for so long.

"Dude, I literally have no time for myself. How can I have time for someone else?"

"Jim, if you become a famous actor then you will never have time, will you always be single?" Jessica patted him on the head pitifully.

"Don't bother about him, first look at yourself. You have always been single" Daniel taunted her.

"True" Jimmy supported Daniel. 

"What the fuck? Why am I suddenly being targeted?" Jessica felt wronged.

"Jess, did you never like anyone in your life?" Jimmy asked her again, the same question which he always asks her.

"Dude, I am too amazing. No man is good enough for me so I didn't find anyone worth dating" Jessica complained.

"What about that fake Italian celebrity?" Daniel teased her, reminding her of the guy they once met on Jessica's birthday. Jessica mistook that stranger for some Italian celebrity and clicked photos with him.

"Why the fuck would you mention him?" Jessica was embarrassed recollecting that guy as she made a big fool out of herself in front of him.

As luck would have it, she even met that guy once and was ashamed of her actions. It was the worst day of her life.

"He is not bad. He looks like your favorite celebrity and owns the chocolate factory of your favorite chocolates brand. I don't think we can find a better man than him" Jimmy commented and Daniel nodded his head agreeing with his brother.

"Will you two stop it? When I met him once at the conference I already told him to forget what happened and I never want to meet that guy. It is also bad enough that you two remember that incident, so now I don't want to meet the third guy who remembers this incident. It is fucking embarrassing"

Jessica hid her face behind a pillow.

"Danny, did you notice? Our shameless Jessica turns shy when that guy is mentioned" Jimmy pointed it out.

"You are absolutely right" Daniel then searched something on his laptop and said, "Edward Bentley, the owner of Universe Chocolates. He is 28, graduated from Harvard Business School and is currently living in Milan" Daniel read the information about that guy from the internet.

"Jessica Carlson and Edward Bentley, hmm, sounds interesting" Jimmy commented.

"Will you two stop it?" Jessica was getting annoyed with them and shouted at the two brothers.
