Chapter 81: Jamie Stone
Next day.
At the Cozy Cafe, on the second floor of Rose’s house.
Cozy Cafe is owned by Jamie Stone. The place where Rose often visits if she has a problem. But that was when uncle Jamie’s son, Noah Stone, was still living there. Now Rose rarely stops by The Cozy Cafe because Noah Stone moved to the Capital to pursue his singing career.
Today Rose had stopped by to say goodbye to Uncle Jamie before moving to the Capital.
"Rose... good morning!" A man with a black pompadour hairstyle greeted Rose.
Rose immediately thought of legendary singer Elvis Presley whenever she saw Uncle Jamie. They look similar. It’s just that he’s a little bit shorter.
She looked at Uncle Jamie wearing his casual outfit with a black apron wrapped around his waist.
"Morning, Uncle..." She smiles at him.
Rose didn’t see any other customers in the room. She walked and sat in her favorite spot, near a glass window, looking at the street below.
"It’s been a while Uncle has not seen you, Rose...." He raises his thick brow as he stands in front of her.
"I come here a few times, but your staff tells me you are still in the Capital. How’s the Capital? Did my Brother Noah do fine?"
With a smile, Uncle Jamie replies, "Yeah, Noah is doing fine. But he is always busy. Even though I went there on vacation at his place, I rarely saw him. That’s why I decided to return ahead of schedule... Living there is boring. I have no friends to chat with"
After a sigh and stopping for a few seconds, suddenly Uncle Jamie looks at Rose with caring eyes and says, "Anyway, enough about me. Tell me about you. How are you doing? What do you want to share with your Old Uncle Jamie?"
Jamie remembered last night when he was still in the Capital. Rose texted him, asking for time to chat. He wondered why this girl suddenly wanted to talk to him. Early in the morning, he rushed back to this city. He was worried that something might happen to her or her mother.
Before Rose opened her mouth to answer, he saw Uncle Jamie raise his hand, calling his female waitress to take their order.
"Rose... What do you want to drink?" Ask Uncle Jamie. But before Rose answers, he continues, "Ah, must be the usual, right?" So now Rose just nods.
"Iced Americano for her and hot coffee for me, please." Jamie Stone orders them to the waitress before he continues his words, "Alright... now tell me. What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Uncle Jamie, I just wanted to inform you... in a few days, I will be moving to the Capital. I will stay there to start my business..." Rose smiles, looking at how surprised Uncle Jamie is hearing her words.
She continued her words, "I need your help to look after my mom, Uncle Jamie. Well, you don’t have to worry about her. She is not alone at home. I have hired a maid to accompany her and help her take care of our house... You know Aunty Nora, right?"
"Sure, I know Nora pretty well... Sometimes, when Café is crowded, I ask her for helps in here too."
"Aunty Nora has been living in our house for a week. She will take care of my mom while I stay in the Capital."
"Why did you suddenly want to move to the capital, Rose?" Jamie Stone was curious. Because he had never heard this girl had a dream to move out of this city. She loves her mother and never imagined she would live in a different town with her mother.
"Uncle Jamie, this is not a sudden decision... I’ve been planning this for quite some time."
"Rose, did you consider your mother’s feelings? She must be worried and will miss you a lot if you stay in another city. Am I right?"
"Don’t worry, Uncle Jamie. My mom will move to the Capital with me soon. If my plan goes well, she will move in with me early next year..." Rose smiles, then she drinks her ice coffee after the waitress serves them.
Jamie Stone was shocked. Will Molly leave this town? Instantly his heart hardened as his face turned gloomy at the thought of Molly living in a different city.
"Hahaha, Uncle Jamie, you should work hard to win my mom’s heart. So you can move with us as well..." Rose felt sorry for this Uncle Jamie. He has pursued her mother ever since, but her mother never accepted him. Her mother only thought of Uncle Jamie as her loving big Brother. She never saw or even thought of him as a romantic interest.
As for herself, she likes Uncle Jamie. Because Uncle Jamie has always been so kind to her family. He even deliberately rented the second floor of their house and opened a cafe shop so he could live closer to them and take care of them.
Several times Rose tried to help Uncle Jamie to get her mother to accept him, but he still failed. Her mother had absolutely no interest in Uncle Jamie. She wasn’t interested in getting married again. Her father’s charisma was so imprinted on her mother’s heart that she was never interested in other men.
"You! How could you tease your uncle like that?" Jamie Stone’s face turned red as he said that.
"I’m serious, Uncle Jamie... Even if you’re not dating my mother, please consider moving to the Capital too. Brother Noah would be happy if you could move with us to the Capital."
Jamie Stone ponders as he looks outside the window. What Rose said is true. His son always asked him to move to the Capital, but he couldn’t.
He couldn’t bear to leave Molly and Rose alone in this city. Even though Molly has never accepted his feelings, he is happy just to be able to stay near her and see her as a best friend. Now, he considers Molly as his sister. And he liked their current relationship.
"I will move to the capital if your mother moves...."
"That’s great, Uncle!" Rose is so happy for Brother Noah. Finally, he can reunite with his father after moving to the Capital for a year. "But for now, please help me look after my mom...."
"Don’t worry. Without you asking, I’ve already done that, Rose." Jamie Stone laughed.
"I hear from my staff that your mother has stayed in the hospital for a few days. Is she sick?"
Rose’s face turned tense. She didn’t want to worry Uncle Jamie, so she purposely didn’t tell him about her mother having cancer. Because if she had told him at that time, Uncle Jamie would definitely have canceled his vacation plans to the Capital to meet Brother Noah.
"Don’t worry. Mom is recovering now..." Answered Rose at the same time her phone vibrated. She took it out and saw Evan’s name. Then Rose immediately excused herself to Uncle Jamie, telling him she must leave for a date. Yes, she has a date with Evan this evening.
When she returned to her house, she saw her mother watching the breaking news.
Rose’s heart felt like it stopped beating when she heard a female anchor read the news...
[ A Convict with the initials DM is dying in detention due to a sudden heart attack. This DM is suspected of being a drug dealer... ]
This was the most shocking and comforting news she had ever heard after her rebirth.
"Dustin Mosses! You deserve it. I hope you rest in peace up there...." Rose feels joy in her heart. She didn’t need revenge on that asshole Dustin because God had already done it for her.
