Chapter 153 - I Care For You!

Next morning.

It was already eight in the morning when Javier's eyes opened. Rubbing them slightly, he shifted to another side to find it empty.

'Where the hell is she?'

Usually, Jennifer isn't waking up early for a long period and probably her habit might have changed.

Taking another look, his hands traveled to the next side, where he felt that the end was cold.

'This means she woke up a long time ago..'

It was strange but keeping all the thoughts aside, Javier made his way to the washroom and got fresh.

Taking a quick bath, he stepped out to find his room still empty. "Where has this girl gone?" He mumbled in between his breaths.

After he was ready, Javier descended the stairs to find the butler making the breakfast ready, "Have you seen Jennifer?"

"Second Young master, Ms. Taylor was awake long ago. She asked the gardener to help her to water the flowers." Giving him an answer, butler returned back to his work.

At the same time, Javier nodded his head and walked towards the garden area.

There, he found a figure who was currently helping out the gardener in watering the plants.

The sight was beautiful to see since she had folded her hair into a bun, tucking it with a small pin.

With his light steps, he walked closer to them and stood in silence, obsessing her with each action with utmost series. 

Meanwhile, Jennifer didn't take notice of his presence behind her even for a mere second. She was in the process of watering the plants, exactly how the gardener taught her in a professional manner. 

But her concentration broke when she heard a deep and husky voice, "Your love for flowers is immense, I believe this.." 

Facing him, Jennifer didn't say anything concerning his comment and averted her eyes on the flowers.

Receiving no response from her side, made hi. frown, "What happened to you early in the morning? Are You unhappy with something?"

"It shouldn't bother you either. Go and get your work, let me do things that interest me." was what she said without even sparing him a glance.

He found it odd as her voice wasn't matching with her actions at all. 

Moreover, yesterday's talks didn't end on a good note too, which made him think twice before speaking. "Are You still angry?"

Lack of response from her side was evident that she isn't interested to converse with him anymore.

His eyes averted to another direction and saw that Garnder was still present near them. "Cough… Can you please give us some privacy, Garnder's uncle?"

Gardner lifted his eyes and nodded his head in return. Leaving the two of them alone, Javier once again gazed at her with his fierce eyes. "Jennifer.."

"Javier, don't disturb me. I have no interest to have any kind of talk with. So, please leave." That was all that she said but in return, Javier declined, "I'm not leaving it till you remove that anger from your face."

"Why?" Jennifer's eyes were bleaching in anger. Despite her immense efforts to maintain the face filled with fury, she failed miserably.

Javier took a step closer to her body without breaking eye contact to say, "You know I care for you.."

A sarcastic laugh escaped her mouth when she heard it. Leaving the water bucket on the ground, she managed to walk close to his body and look into his intoxicating eyes, "You care? Javier, if you did… You would have brought me there."

In the end, her heart wasn't settled about him declining her so ruthlessly.

Knowing that it will be a serious risk to count in, she doesn't feel convinced either. Also, now that she finally came on the prime topic, did he understand her worry?

Letting a deep sigh escape his mouth, he put his hand behind, "Jennifer, I told you every reason behind my action. Why I'm not interested in bringing you. Once I'm back no matter what you say, I'm ready to do."

"Javier…" a complicated look plastered on her face. On one side, she wanna let him go easily, yet her brain kept on insisting she come with him.

How was she supposed to overcome this mess that her heart and brian were entangled in?

At last, Javier kept his hand on her shoulder with a firm grip on them.

"You are worried that something will happen to me?" Javier asked with a sweet voice which made her lift her expressionless face, 'Am I worried that Lucas will kill him?'

She wasn't either sure of her own emotions, how can she give him an affirmative reply?

Biting her lower lip, Jennifer hesitated to answer back. Yet somehow he understood her deep turmoil too. "It's alright. I'm not someone who will go without any plan in my mind so."

His words brought a frown on her forehead when he added further, "Remember, if Lucas is cunning then I'm no lesser than him. Yeah, sometimes I do make mistakes, so did Lucas. We are plenty much sure that nothing will happen to either of us. No need to worry about anything."

His words were all to convince her full-heartedly to agree with his terms.

The frown on her forehead and narrowed eyes settled finally with some kind of ease spraying around her

Noting her emotions, Javier understood that she wasn't going to let things go so easily.

Moreover, she is too stubborn and making her understand, the only way possible was to analyze the situation and give her a brief account

"Who… all are going with you today?" Jennifer opened her mouth, with her voice lower than before.

"Well, probably brother and father. Along with us, Ryan and Ellen will tag too. If possible, one or more bodyguards for safety. Taking too many people with us is also not a great idea since we need security in this villa as well."

"You will come back, right?"
