Chapter 70: Chapter 70 She’s Back In Our Lives!!

"Jasmine..." Kingsley called out to her. Jasmine spun to face him with lifted brows.

"What’s up?" She questioned.

"We need to head back." Kingsley broke the news, his hand gripping the phone tightly.

Jasmine protested. "But we just left the house a few moments ago. I don’t wanna go back so soon."

Kingsley shut his eyes as if fighting with himself before opening them again. This time, a cold look was on his face as he interrupted her. "Not there. I mean, back in Los Angeles."

Jasmine immediately fell silent. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at kingsley. "Why??" She asked when she finally found her voice.

Kingsley brushed past her while declaring. "Something came up. We need to head back."

Jasmine felt bemused, shocked, and a little irritated that the vacation just got canceled like that. And that too, with no sort of explanation whatsoever.

She quickly ran after him while he matched towards the car. "What happened?? Also, We can’t leave Lily out in the cold like that."

Without turning to face her, Kingsley conceded. "She can go back by herself. That is one of the things she can do."

Jasmine waved her hands in the air in an exasperated manner. "But can you at least tell me what the fuck is happening?? For Christ sake, you just canceled our vacation!"

Kingsley opened the driver’s seat,and finally, he turned to look at her. "Firstly, I’m not canceling it. We can come back here some other time but for now, something came up that I need to look at."

"Can’t Raymond mail it to you??" Jasmine thought it was work-related. An honest thought.

Kingsley shook his head. "Raymond is out of town and also, the stuff can’t be mailed." Fed up, he gestured towards the other side of the car. "Now, if you don’t mind, kindly go take your seat, let’s go back home, pack some stuffs, and leave."

Jasmine remained mute for the next few minutes, just staring at Kingsley who wordlessly entered the car. His grip on the wheels was tight, and for some reasons unknown to her, he suddenly developed this anger. Anger towards her??

Jasmine wasn’t sure because she had done nothing to him. They were cool this moment and the next, he was upset!

"Mrs Elm, are you going to get in??" Kingsley complained tiredly. He was ready to ignite the car and leave as soon as possible. His mind twirling in different directions and the woman from earlier...

Her....

The thought of her made him itching. He wanted to see her. If she was back...

Kingsley wanted to confirm if he hadn’t talked to a ghost earlier. He would meet up with her and find out.

Without further ado, Jasmine rounded the car made her way to the back seat, and sat there.

Kingsley looked at her through the rare mirror, his brows joined in displeasure. "Why sit at the back??"

Jasmine folded her arms around her chest as she stared outside without replying to him.

A heavy sigh escaped Kingsley’s mouth but he didn’t say anything. The ride back home was completely different from the ride to the stable.

Jasmine was oddly silent. Too silent as she sulked all through. She was annoyed by Kingsley’s nonchalance towards her questions.

Soon, Kingsley drove into the house. Just as the car came to a stop, Jasmine got out of the car.

Kingsley paused when he saw her climb out of the car and matched towards the condo with heavy footsteps. Anger radiating from her.

He didn’t complain. He shut the door and followed behind her.

He entered the house, shut the front door, and made his way into their bedroom. He spotted Jasmine pulling out her luggage, parking her clothes from the closet and dropping down on the bed. Ready to fold her clothes into her luggage.

Kingsley stood close to the door, watching her movement. She was doing a simple mundane thing like packing her clothes but her actions were all rike of anger. Premium anger.

"You know you don’t have to..."

Jasmine immediately snapped at him. "Start packing yours now so we can leave this hole to whatever place you wanna be at the moment."

"You’re getting it all wrong, Jasmine.." kingsley tried to explain but she wasn’t cut out of it.

"Kingsley, I don’t want to talk about this. I remember asking you what was happening that we had to leave but you kept mute. Beating around the bush. Now, I don’t want to hear it. Keep your explanation to yourself." Jasmine barked. A frown fell on Kingsley’s face.

"Don’t yell at me like that." He bellowed, his jaw clenching.

Jasmine dropped the clothes she was arranging on the bed in anger. "Or what??" She gritted her teeth. "What would you do??"

Kingsley’s eyes sank, as he matched towards her. Jasmine took a step back as he came near with that dark look on his face.

She thought he would come and maybe grab her by the neck, push her against the wall until her back hit it. He would threaten her and eventually snap her neck. But to her utter surprise, he came near and wrapped his hands around her back, pulling her in for a hug.

Jasmine,who was still bubbling in anger tried to free herself from his grip.

"Let me go!" She growled while hitting his chest but he wouldn’t let go.

"Wifey,calm down and listen to me."

Jasmine’s racing pulse immediately calmed down as she was soaked in his scent. His breathing fanned the top of her head as he held her close to his chest.

"I’m sorry." He mumbled against her head. "I’m sorry for cutting our vacation this way."

Jasmine pulled away not fully, his hands still held her in place as she stared at him. "Then, what happened?? Why are we leaving??"

That...

That he couldn’t say. He couldn’t tell her...not yet. He wasn’t sure what was happening or how it happened. But soon, he would tell her everything she needed to know.

Jasmine sighed in disappointment. "Why?? Why can’t you tell me about it?" She narrowed her eyes a little. "You did something bad??"

Kingsley shook his head. "I didn’t do anything bad. I just..." he slowly let go of Jasmine, taking two steps back. He was struggling to say the words. This made Jasmine even more upset and worried. "I just can’t explain what is happening or what’s going to happen."

Jasmine twisted her face. "What is going to happen?"

Kingsley’s face turned a little ashamed. "Not sure but someone unexpected is back in my life. In our lives."

Again, Jasmine was more than confused." Someone?? Who is this person??"

Kingsley shook his head. "Not yet confirmed but if it turns out to be true. I think I’ll need to get rid of the pest."
