Chapter 119: Touched? Yes!

Chapter 119: Touched? Yes!

After a number of ’Huh?’s and ’What?’s, Vernon finally understood what Helena was saying, while Helena did not understand a thing.

On the contrary, she only became more confused by his words.

Vernon sighed. He had no choice but to explain clearly to her, "Actually, I had a dream."

"Dream? Like the one you got about Brother Merlin?" Helena stiffened when she heard the word ’dream’.

Since Helena already had an idea of his ’dreams’ and their ’powers’, Vernon decided to use it to explain to her.

He nodded in response to her question, "Yes."

Helena was silent for a second before she processed his words and then asked him, "You dreamt of Sister Jemma’s sister? That she would get kidnapped?

"No! That doesn’t seem right. You talked about her being at the party, right? So, you dreamt of her getting kidnapped at our party last night?"

Vernon shook his head.

"No? You did not dream of her getting kidnapped or you did not dream about her getting kidnapped at the party? What no?" She asked.

"I did not dream about her at all," Vernon said.

"Now you are confusing me. Didn’t you just say that you had a dream? What did you dream of?" Helena went to the main point this time.

Vernon sighed, "I dreamt that my Sister-in-law would get kidnapped at the party last night."

Helena frowned. She did not say anything. She decided to wait for Vernon to finish everything.

He explained everything clearly about how he dreamt of the Seventh Prince kidnapping his sister-in-law and how he had cautioned his brother.

"Oh. So the secret that you and Brother Vincent were talking about yesterday was about this?" Helena understood everything.

"Yes." While discussing, they started to move and get ready to leave.

So by this time, they were all ready and standing at the door, ready to leave.

"If you dreamt of Sister Jemma’s kidnapping, why is her sister kidnapped now? Are they related to each other or were they completely unrelated?" Helena asked as they got in the car.

"That’s what I don’t understand either. So, we have to meet Brother and Sister-in-law before we understand the situation clearly." Vernon said while parking the car at the drive-in restaurant.

"Why are you stopping at a restaurant at this time? Shouldn’t we hurry?" Helena frowned and asked.

"Yes, we are in a hurry. That’s why I stopped here instead of going to another restaurant. We can eat our breakfast while driving." Vernon explained while he ordered some simple breakfast items through the car window.

"Oh. Are you hungry? You could eat after reaching Brother’s home too." Helena nodded but still said.

Vernon’s lips twitched. He flicked her forehead, "It’s not me who is hungry."

"Then who?" Helena pouted while rubbing her forehead and asked.

"It’s you, you dummy." Vernon scolded her softly before taking the packed food and started driving again.

He used one hand to steer the wheel while the other hand gave the food to Helena. "Eat it. You have not eaten anything properly yesterday either. Because of your dress, you couldn’t even eat a few bites of food properly. How can you survive two days without any food?

"Also, eating at Brother’s house today wouldn’t be as convenient as usual. You won’t be able to eat freely." He softly explained while his eyes stayed on the road.

Helena blinked her eyes. She did not expect the usually careless and carefree Vernon to think so much for her. She felt her heart warm up from his thoughtfulness.

She almost cried.

Vernon noticed that Helena did not say anything nor did she open the food package. He turned to look at her.

"..." He did not understand why she was looking at him like that at all. "Are you crying?"

"No," Helena said while softly sniffling. She opened the package and started eating. Vernon’s lips twitched. He did not understand why she was crying.

Then she heard Helena’s thoughts and realized that she was touched by his gesture.

He did not think what he did was worthy of feeling touched.

He just felt that it was natural for him to give her food as he knew she would be hungry. As her husband or as her friend, he would never let her go hungry no matter the reason.

He did not say anything and continued driving while Helena ate silently.

From time to time, she fed Vernon with her hands.

As the food was done, they reached Vincent’s residence.

They entered to find that Vincent and Jemma were facing Jemma’s parents on the couch.

Jemma’s mother was crying while her father looked hesitant.

Jemma looked expressionless while Vincent looked cold and angry. He wasn’t showing any emotions on his face but Helena and Vernon had known him for so long that they knew that he was angry just from the aura around him.

Vernon and Helena looked at each other and sighed.

They knew that Jemma did not have a good relationship with her parents. But she was good to her sister. her parents, on the other hand, blatantly favored her sister over Jemma all the time.

From everyone’s expressions there, Vernon and Helena could guess that the parents were trying to make Jemma suffer for their young daughter’s sake once again.

It wasn’t the first time they had done such a thing anyway.

Even though Jemma loved her sister, with her parent’s actions, they doubted she would want to actively do something.

"Ehem," Vernon coughed to dispel the dark air in the room.

With their intrusion, everyone turned to look at the door and as expected, all their expressions relaxed a little.

Jemma’s parents were scared of Vincent and yet they wanted to use Jemma.

Seeing Vernon, they felt that Vincent would give them respect in front of the others and wouldn’t blow up on them.

Vincent looked at Vernon and then at Jemma’s parents and said, "You people leave. I will take care of this matter."
