Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge-Chapter 143 - Impose
Chapter 143 - Impose
The older man that she saw must have been Joseph Davis Dean's grandfather. She was speaking with him earlier and he sounded a lot older. But he looked in good health and younger than she thought he would.
Sam seeing everyone had arrived and a show was about to start he walked to the kitchen to escape. He hated the drama but enjoyed the food.
Joseph knew these types of women. He felt for Martin and his predicament. "Martin, April told me you like to fish?" He asked, ignoring Rachel's introduction.
Martin who had glanced at his wife turned to answer Joseph to respond, he smiled and said, "I do but I don't get the chance anymore."
"You must come here often then, we have rods and bait here. I could do with the company."
"It's been some years so I would only impose as I'm not up to par with it."
"Sure it's like riding a bike you will remember once you begin again," Joseph reassured him. He noticed then that Rachel had moved herself and her daughter towards Dean.
Hearing the relaxed exchange Rachel had manoeuvred herself and her daughter into the middle of the living room. She saw the free spot beside Dean and she shoved Lucy into it.
Lucy sat down and looked up coyly at Dean, she felt like her heart leapt just by being in his presence.
Dean stood and walked straight out of the living room, he wanted to join April in the kitchen. Anything to get away from the over perfumed delusional women. He tolerated their presence in his home as it was necessary for them to learn April's place in his heart and his home.
He hoped seeing the position she held in the Davis family would crush any ideas they had.
Lucy watched as the man she was infatuated with got up and left her alone, she glanced up to her mother. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
Rachel smiled and sat on the couch beside her daughter. She felt content as she glanced around at the lavish and luxurious living room.
Joseph saw the greedy look and fumed internally. These two women had zero decorum, he looked sternly at Rachel and asked her directly "Do you normally just enter someone's home and invite yourself to sit down?"
Rachel turned to the harsh voice, she recognised it from the phone call earlier that day. She had never been spoken to as harshly as she had been since she arrived at the Davis Manor. As her daughters and her own future was at stake she held her tongue and smiled at the older man.
"Is that all you can do is smile, it's an ugly one at that." Joseph then said as he huffed in annoyance.
Martin looked apologetically at Joseph and Robert and said, "Pardon their intrusion. I can only apologise on their behalf.
Joseph sighed he wished that Martin wouldn't waste his breath.
Just as the room went silent April entered the living room with a bright smile on her face. The atmosphere instantly shifted. "Dinners ready and on the table." She announced. She smiled at her father as he stood along with Tom to greet her.
"Great! "Joseph exclaimed.
"I hope you are all hungry I have prepared a lot," April said as she walked towards Grandpa Joseph.
Joseph reached out and held her arm as she guided him into the living room, she was used to this by now and it had become a habit. Joseph didn't need any aid when walking but he enjoyed her doting. This was why he wanted granddaughters.
Tom looked at Martin and saw the hurt in his eyes, he wanted to be close with his daughter.
"Shall we follow them?" Robert announced seeing the two men awkwardly standing in the living room.
"Yes, let's go." Tom nodded in agreement. He gave Martin a gentle nudge in the direction of the kitchen.
Rachel was livid by now, she was ignored and even chastised. She stood and pulled her daughter up off the couch. She whispered in her ear, "If you don't start flirting with the old man and Dean we are done. You can say goodbye to your future and mine."
Rachel then gripped her daughter's arm and dragged her after the men as they entered the kitchen. Upon entering the kitchen everyone was seated. She didn't know everyone here but that didn't stop her from walking to the table and dragging her daughter along.
Lucy felt her mother impatience and her fingernails as they dug into her arm, she held in her discomfort.
Joseph sat at the head of the table with April seated on his left then Dean, Bernie and Robert. On Josephs right sat Martin, Tom then Sam.
Rachel analysed the seating layout. She was usually the head of the table or seated at Martins side, she felt humiliated. She thought for a moment and assessed the seating arrangements. Was she below the help, she felt this was incredulous for her normal position in the Green household.
Noticing no one asked them to sit Lucy bit her lip and stared at Dean, lost in his features, he was very handsome.
Dean ignored the obnoxious eyes that glared at him, he looked to his angel hoping to see her speak up on his behalf. After all, if some man had been ogling her like the way Lucy was.
April saw Dean expectant eyes and couldn't help but smile, she was very confident that Dean could fight his own battles and hers so she didn't feel the need to stop Lucy.
Rachel made her way up the table and stood beside Martin. She felt this was her seat, so she looked to Joseph for approval. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖
Joseph ignored Rachel and looked to April.
April felt like everyone was waiting on her so she glanced up and saw Rachel not only ignore her but try to move Tom from his seat.
"Rachel, Lucy you can sit down, there are some seats down there." April pointed to the far end of the table.
"You want me to sit at the bottom of the table?" Rachel felt this was incredulous.
