Ms. Attractive and inciting CEO-Chapter 553 - Maria is acting strange
Chapter 553 - Maria is acting strange
She is very similar to her mother.
Sophia use to color her hair and apply minimal makeup which use to disguise her from her original identity.
And this is the reason Jean never recognized any similarities between her aunt and her mother
But now, after Jasper and her grandparents showed the pictures of her mother, it is only when Jean found it.
And it felt something strange…
It is like seeing her mother again. If Jean is not good at controlling her overwhelmed emotions she would have surely hugged Maria and started to cry.
Jasper will surely break down but she felt that he might not act that emotional. Her brother is not all childish and emotional as she thought.
He is already matured enough and can control his emotions. He is not someone she thought..
Moreover, he is already aware that Valdez's are his maternal family since his childhood. And some or other way Jean sensed his reluctance to meet his aunt, Maria.
"Jean?" her aunt called her again and it is only when Jean came back to reality.
Jean sighed and took a long breath.
"You look too similar to my mother and your voice, aura resembles her a lot that I just got carried away in feeling emotional" Jean said.
Maria looked at Jean with complex
expressions written all over her face. After looking at her for brief moment even she sighed.
"But, when I look at you….I feel like you resemble your mom much. I am nothing when compared to you both" Maria said.
She just found out about Council and how her sister is connected to it. Till now she is not even aware of it and no one told her about it…..not even her own sister.
Meanwhile, Jean didn't understand how to reply. She couldn't help but think Maria is acting strange and very different.
As she is not aware of the history the twin sister's had, Jean couldn't put her finger on their past nor on the present type of conversation they are having now.
Maria is not like how her twin, Jeff described. She is not as emotional as told. Something is off…
Jean shrugged and looked at her aunt as her lips pressed into a thin smile.
Seeing her niece like this, Maria realized how awkward their conversation is….
She quickly changed her demeanor and smiled.
"Sorry for that. I am little tired" she said as she sat down beside Jean.
"How's your health now….pregnancy should be really tough right" she asked. Her face saddened up again.
If she didn't miscarry their child even her child would have been of exact age of Jean….
Even she would have became a grandmother…
This didn't go unnoticed by Jean but she didn't think much. She didn't understand why Maria is sad but she knew this is not a time to interfere or come to the conclusions.
"My health is fine. As migraine is not that severe, I didn't feel any complications till now. But pregnancy is strange…." Jean said and Maria laughed.
Jean froze for brief second but her face bloomed with smile. Even her laugh resembled her mother's…
"Yeah, pregnancy will be strange. So many mood swings and strange emotions….." Maria said. "Even your mom use to be like this. But her mood swings are little different….she use to be very angry and frustrated. Her boyfriend suffered a lot at that time" she continued.
"Suffered?" Jean asked. "I think Scott is also suffering because of me now. Sometimes I become too emotional and I bother him too much…" she chuckled.
"Nah…that is whole different case Jean. Your parents never expected to become pregnant at that time….it is all in sudden they found out that Sophia is four weeks pregnant with you and you and Jeff. They are not ready for this especially your mother" Maria said.
At that time she didn't understand why her sister was not ready to have a children with someone she truly love. But now she understood….it is because they were stuck with Council matters.
On contrast to her sister, Maria and her boyfriend tried for the babies willingly. And they successfully got what they wanted but what is the use of it.
She miscarried.
Meanwhile Jean is stunned after hearing this. Honestly, she never expected this. Her parents, Sophia and Jonathan really loved her so much to even think they were not ready to have children.
"Did they think of aborting?" Jean asked stuttering a little.
Maria looked at Jean for brief second and asked. "Did you expect this baby Jean? Or…" she didn't complete her sentence because she knows that Jean understood.
Jean chuckled. "Scott is always cautious of what we wanted…" she reminisced the time when Scott use to talk about having babies.
He was so excited whenever that topic use to arise between them. "So, we already expected this baby but we thought it would take some more months. Didn't expect it to happen in days" She chuckled as she caressed her tummy.
She couldn't help but miss him now..
Maria chuckled too. She knew how Scott and Jean are like…she has been seeing them since the start of their relationship.
"With my brother in law's libido I thought it will only take hours…not even days" Jeff who just reached the garden heard a little portion of their conversation.
"You…." Jean blushed with shame. She should not have told this.
Now, Her brother will tease her about this forever…
Meanwhile Jeff hugged his mother and kissed her cheek before sitting beside Jean and wrapping his arm around her shoulder.
Their previous conversation totally forgotten..
"Don't blush too much sissy….we knows how you both are" Jeff whispered in her ear and Jean rolled her eyes.
"As if I don't know how my brother is." Jean whispered back
"You know?" he raised his eyebrow.
"I don't know but I will fix some cameras and see this time."
