Chapter 63
****
Sharon was trying to get herself a cold juice in the kitchen when she heard Jimmy asking Tia where everyone went.
She chuckled at his childishness, is he expecting Tia to respond? Hmm even if she does, will he understand her?
She was about leaving the kitchen when her eyes caught an orange, She smiled and got a knife walking towards the orange, suddenly she heard Tia crying.
“Did Jimmy drop her?” She asked no one, as she turned from the orange. Hmmm She won’t be surprised if he dropped her, he almost did the previous night.
“It’s fine princess” she heard an unfamiliar voice and quickly rushed out of the kitchen.
Her jaw dropped as her fear engulfed her, her grip tightened on the knife as she walked closer.
Cole turned around hearing her footsteps and smile as soon as he saw her. This was the last thing his cousin was going crazy for.
The last time he saw her, she was unconscious, he’s happy she’s all better now. He was about to say something when she bombard him with questions rasing a knife.
“Who are you? Are you trying to kidnap the baby?!” Sharon freaked as she held the knife more tightly.
What? What is she talking about? Why will he try to kidnap his cousin daughter?
“Miss I think you are mistaken” he said with an awkward smile.
“It isn’t me who’s mistaken but you. You are greatly mistaken if you think you can kidnap this innocent baby and demand a huge ransom in return.
“I will cut off your balls before you think of doing something funny” she added and he gulp down nothing.
His cousin is really something else, how can he fall in love with a woman with such a temper.
“Don’t do that, here you can have the baby” he said trying to give her crying Tia.
” No way, you want to give me the baby so that you can escape or you can take this knife, too bad I am smarter than you” she said holding on to the knife.
” I am really not a stranger my name is Cole, I am Jasper’s cousin” he introduced.
” I would have believed you if it were a different circumstances” she said as she tried to throw the knife
” What are you doing?!” Jasper loud voice asked and she stopped what she was about to do
” Seriously!? Can’t you see this kidnapper trying to kidnap Tia? ” She ask pointing the knife at Cole
” Kidnapper? Where is the kidnapper?” Jimmy who heard her last sentence ask walking out of his room too
“Him!” She pointed at Cole
“Him?!!” Both Jimmy and Jasper chroused, surprisingly
“Yes, can’t you see how loud the baby is crying?” She ask.” It’s because he is a kidnapper” she added
Jimmy and Jasper stared at each other and started laughing as if it was planned, they laughed so hard that they had to hold their stomach.
“What’s funny? This is a serious crime that is about to be committed in your own house under your nose” she said with a serious expression
” Cole is…”Jasper was cut short by Sharon’s question. “You know him?” She ask
“Yes he is my cousin” he introduced Cole to him.
“That is what I was trying to say” Cole said as he try to pacify the baby.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Sharon gulp down as she stared at the ground in embarrassment. The person she accused and almost kill is her fiancee cousin.
What if they didn’t come out in time? She would have committed a crime. Darn, how could she have such a short temper.
But don’t blame her, she was just trying to keep the baby safe.
“Cousin in-law you should attend to our princess now” Cole said and she dropped the knife on the glass table.
She took the baby and rushed to her room immediately.
“She is embarrassed” Jimmy teased and Jasper nodded with a smile. ” You should have told her about your families, I almost died” Cole said collapsing on the couch I’m front of him.
“But you aren’t dead” Jasper said.
“So you will care about me only when I am dead? Aish! You are unbelievable” Cole mutter
” I can’t believe aunt Sharon almost stab you to death” Jimmy said jumping on Cole
“what was I thinking? Well I was only trying to protect the baby. I thought he was a kidnapper, how will I ever face him?” she asked facing Tia who was sulking her breast.
She released her nipples and stared at Sharon’s face with a smile before resuming back to her job of sucking.
“Tia is right I should just smile and act as of nothing is wrong” she said with a nod.
” Noooo” she groaned hitting her forehead. ” It won’t be that easy” she mutter.
During dinner, Cole and Jimmy could not help but glance at each other then end up smiling.
“What are you two up to?” Lena who was unaware of what happened before she returned asked.
“Nothing aunt” Jimmy replied. “It can’t be nothing, the look on your face says it all, you are up to something” she said
” No we are not” Cole said as he took a meat and place it on Sharon’s spoon as she was about to raise it to her mouth.
She raised her head to stare at him with an awkward smile. “It’s good for the body” he said and she nodded before eating it.
“Aunt Lena, you won’t believe what happened today” Jimmy started
” What happened?” Lena inquired, curiously.
” A kidnapper visited our house” he blunted and Sharon raised her head which was buried in the food all this while you glare at him but Jimmy cared less, even if she is going to punish her. He will say what be plans to say.
“A kidnapper? Did he kidnap anyone? Or steal something?” Questions rushed out of Lena’s mouth.
” Calm down Aunt, his mission was unsuccessful because of aunt Sharon” he said. ” Wow” he utter as he rest his back on the chair and fold his tiny arms.
“Isn’t Aunt Sharon wonderful, if only you were around to see the way she rescued Tia, you would think superwoman visited us” he concluded
” Is that true?” Lena ask facing Sharon who was sited beside her.
“Jimmy isn’t it wrong to talk while eating?” Sharon ask rhetorically and he smile.
” I really didn’t know cousin in-law is so strong” Cole said worsening the situation.
” Tell me about it sister in-law” Lena urged. “There is nothing to talk about I am actually….. ” She stopped talking when she realize that Jimmy will tease her if she said she was embarrassed.
“Proud” Jimmy finished the sentence for her ” she is proud that she saved Tia” he utter.
Jasper who has been watching the whole drama with a smile chuckle and Sharon turned to him. She gave him the SAVE ME FROM THIS EMBARRASSMENT look
He only ate his food pretending not to see him, Sharon bit her lower lip angrily as she pinch his hand that was on the table but no one saw it.
“Ouch” he wince and everyone turned to him except Sharon who is aware of what happened
“Brother, is something wrong?” Lena ask, worriedly.
” No all is well” he mutter with an awkward smile. Lena nodded and turn to Jimmy. “What did you do to the kidnapper?” She ask
” Ohh the kidnapper, we let him go” he answered
” You what? Why will you do such a thing? What if he comes back and next time he comes in group?” Lena stated worriedly.
” Aunt Sharon was so nice that she let the kidnapper go after he promised to repent” he said
” Is that true sister in-law?” Lena didn’t wait for her to answer before saying. ” You should not trust people easily, he is just fooling around with you. You should have report him to the police, gosh how I wish I was around” Lena sigh
” Me too aunt, I wish you were there to see how scared uncle Cole was” he said
” Cole?” She repeated giving him a questioning look.
“Yes aunt, uncle” Jimmy said hoping Lena will get his hint but she was slow witted.
“Why did you let the kidnapper go? You even let sister in-law fight all alone” she said finding everyone hard to believe.
“Sister in-law are you okay? Did the kidnapper hurt you?” Lena ask as she turned to face Lena
” I’m fine” she forced a smile as she quickly returned her gaze to Jimmy who was giggling. “I am tired and I want to go to sleep” she added.
” Uhh it’s early” Lena said. ” She must be so tired from fighting the kidnapper” Jasper said and Sharon glared at him, how could he side with them in this.
