Rewind of our Romance

Something about the eyes

Patrick and Adam quickly abandoned their friend following Blaze towards Iris 's house. Jesse was left alone with an open mouth. His jaw dropped at how fast these two changed their minds so quickly. He sighed before following along. He doesn't want anything to do with this woman but this car came from his mother.

Patrick and Adam were awed as soon as they walked through the gates. Several limited edition cars were in the garage. Even though they are filthy rich, they couldn't buy them if they wanted to. A maid was running around with a suitcase.

" You have guests? If it's inconvenient, we'll come back later. " Patrick said.

" I don't anymore. I was supposed to receive my brother and sister in law but for some reason, she changed her mind at the last minute and decided to go to her maternal family. So i am sending her things there. " She explained.

" Oh, I think i saw your brother Harlow a while ago. " Adam said.

" He should be on his way to the airport, there is an international commercial conference in two days. Most business men are on their way there. " She said as she opened the huge garage doors.

" Why do you have so many cars? " Jesse couldn't help but ask.

" Most of them are gifts from my brother and some of my friends. I couldn't keep them with me when i got married so they've always been in this country. Since i plan to move here permanently, i brought them back. Well some of them at least. " She said.

" How many cars do you have? " Adam asked.

" From all that i can remember, there's 15 here and i have 10 at an estate near the Pearl City race course. I will check later. " she replied absentmindedly.

" Wow, that is amazing. All of the cars here are limited edition and it is hard to buy them even with money. As far as i remember, your family is rich but not that rich. " Jesse said with a deep look in his eyes. Adam and Patrick were caught off guard by what he said.

" My parents aren't but me and my brother Harlow inherited most of our grandparents ' s inheritance and i have been investing on my own from my teenage years with a friend of mine. I also never stopped working as a lawyer and most of the cases i take on are private. And my parents announced their intentions to disown me a few years ago so we are currently not related. " She said giving Jesse a look. She felt that he looked familiar but she can't remember from where.

" So..... When will that guy get here?" Adam asked glaring at his sensitive friend. Patrick on the other hand saw the look in Jesse ' s eyes and paused. He remembered what Jesse said a few years ago about a girl who broke his heart for money.

" If he takes a private plane, he'll be here in a few hours. " she said. She was about to continue when she received a call. She pointed at am empty space and the butler nodded as he ashered them inside. She took a deep breath before answering her phone.

" Wow, this place is beautiful. " Adam exclaimed.

" It is. Just like her. " Jesse muttered in a small voice but unlike Adam whose whole focus was on the house, Patrick heard him. He raised his eyes to meet Jesse's with a raised eyebrow.

" I'll go get your refreshments. " The butler said.

" Thank you. " Patrick said as he took a seat on the big comfortable sofa that was calling his name.

" Sorry for that. Can you tell me about the nature of the case? " Iris said a few minutes later.

" Oh , yeah. It is about my sister. She had one of those business marriages and she's been miserable ever since. " Patrick said after swallowing a biscuit.

" Your food is amazing. " Adam commented as Jessi looked at them wishing that the ground could swallow him.

" Thank you. Does your sister want a divorce or do you want her to get divorced? " Iris asked as she poured herself a cup of tea.

" She wants to get a divorce. She's been married to her husband for seven years now. Aside from the countless of children, the man also has many mistresses. " Patrick said.

" I'm free these days so ask her to come here when she has time. I need to hear her side of the story as well as what she wants. We'll go from there. It is hard to give advice if i don't know the situation. " She said.

" It's hard to say if she will come. " Jesse said when Patrick remained silent.

" Her or her husband? " She asked.

" Her husband is the problem. He values this relationship 's value and will do anything to prevent it from getting to a divorce despite the fact that they stopped being husband and wife a long time ago. No lawyer wants to take on this case. " Jesse said when the two remained silent.

" She can call me if meeting me won't work. If her situation is complicated, protect her and figure out a way to get her away from her husband 's control. This case is already a done deal with the illegitimate children outside. I can take on this case without even having to go to court. The only problem is that this is a business marriage and that man might not be liable for the properties.
