Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

Chapter 141 - Impatient

Dean entered the living room with April. He knew his grandfather was petty and he was obviously being passive aggressive. He seemed to get away with it even with his bad acting. You're not fooling me old man, Dean thought.

April giggled, "Hi Dad. Hey Tom. You made it here okay."

Tom stood with a wide grin on his face, he was happy to see her smiling. He slightly bowed at Dean but Dean waved his hands towards him.

Martin too stood, his hands fell to their side, he wanted to hug his daughter but he wasn't sure if she would let him so he nervously stood there waiting for her to make the first move.

"We are not formal here. Please sit Martin and Tom." Dean then led April to the sofa and he sat down beside her.

April and Dean now sat opposite Martin and Tom. Martin and Tom seemed a little bit awkward.

It somehow felt more serious than April had originally thought, she expected dinner but this turned out to be a semi serious meeting. She started to feel nervous herself and she wasn't sure why. She wanted them to like one another but she didn't want to put pressure on them either.

April then remembered the dinner, "Oh I need to run to the kitchen and check on dinner. It should be ready soon." April then left the living room.

This left the men in the living room.

Sam still stood in the doorway he coughed to remind people that he was there. "Sorry but the women outside."

Joseph then looked to Martin, he waited to see if he would defend his wife or choose April. When he saw that Martin didn't worry about his wife and stepdaughter and instead looked to the kitchen where April had disappeared made him feel at ease.

If Martin cared more for his daughter then the original conversation he planned to have was no longer needed and instead, he would go easier on her father.

Sam felt slightly sheepish; he didn't know what to do, he stood and scratched the back of his neck.

Suddenly?they all heard a loud commotion from outside. Joseph and Robert both smiled at one another when they heard the familiar scolding tone. It was Bernie, she had gone to the gate to greet their unwelcome guests.

Martin then looked to Joseph apologetically, "I am truly sorry for any or all actions of my… of Rachel and Lucy."

The correction was noticed by Dean and the rest. He was glad to see that Martin was awake and now put space between him and the two idiots. If you loved your wife you would not leave her outside to make a fool of herself, nor let her be scolded no matter who it was. Dean smirked and waited for the show. Bernie was infamous for her scolding techniques.

Sam heard the raised voice and stood to the side he didn't want to be in firing range.

Dean sat up straight and stopped smiling, he would not give these women any acknowledgement. He was aware of their delusions and knew if he gave them a slight look they would take that and their minds would run with it.

Joseph nodded, his grandson was smart. Joseph then turned to Martin, "Don't apologise. just put things right." Joseph held his stare for a moment, hoping that the man in front of him wanted to redeem himself.

Bernie led both Rachel and Lucy into the house. Bernie had a twinkle in her eye as she scolded the women. "How dare you think you can just arrive unannounced at the Davis Manor and wailing at the entrance! Have some decorum ladies, I will have the lady of the house teach you." Bernie then winked at Joseph.

Bernie turned to the ladies. She had her arms at her sides and she frowned at them.

Rachel was used to being the top dog in her life, her home and outside. She had never come across another woman that would not only scold her but also intimidate her. She thought that this was the lady of the house so she had held back.

When they had arrived they had sat outside in their Bentley waiting for the gates to open. Seeing Martin's car inside the gates she fumed that he hadn't waited for her and was insisting on keeping herself out and ruining her daughter's future happiness.

Rachel had not fixed her hair properly and as she got out of the Bently it was blown in the wind, she didn't take notice as she was so infuriated, she hit the buzzer and waited. After she waited her patience had quickly run out.

She pressed the buzzer, again and again, and she kept pressing it. Forgetting just whose house she was outside off as her anger grew with Martin.

Lucy bit her lip. She was anxious that accompanying her mother would not help her this time. She had not seen her mother act this way before, so she scooted closer to the driver's window and called out to her mother, "Mother, maybe we should go?" Lucy asked. She ducked down as a neighbour walked past with their golden labradoodle.

Rachel continued to press the buzzer over and over again impatiently. She didn't like to be treated this way, she couldn't stand it.

Rachel saw her daughter hide in the car as a man and his dog walked past, she sneered at her and her question, "Leave.. you want to leave when your meal ticket for a luxury life is just inside? Are you happy to let that man's daughter have your life?" Rachel saw her life repeat as her daughter wasn't chosen to live the good life just as she wasn't originally chosen.

Rachel felt that Kathleen and April were so similar, beautiful, intelligent and talented. They were always chosen but she and her daughter had to fight for everything.

She continued her tirade, "So you want to leave, do you? You want April to live here!" She raised her hands and waved them at Davies Manor. "If we leave here I will never help you again. This is your last chance at a luxury life. When else will you be invited here?" Rachel shouted.

"Who invited you?" A loud voice came from the other side of the gate.. Rachel whirled around in shock.
