"turn the car around Josh" Alex said
A few minutes later...The car stopped in front of Emma's house... She got out of the car and was about to go in when Alex called her
"Emerald... I'll pick you up early tomorrow so be ready... Pack your bags today you're moving to my house tomorrow " Alex said
"ok I will, " Emma smiled
Emma looked at the car as it drove off... Her smile faded and her face turned grim.
"Mum don't worry, after I'm married I'll protect you" Emma whispered to herself and went in

Back in the car...
Alex's phone rang

"light... Tell that brat to come home right now" Grandpa Smith roared
"calm down Grandpa Xavier went out to call him... but can you please tell us what the matter is..." Gift asked
"It's a matter that needs the presence of the whole family too bad that those parents of yours are too busy to return home" Grand pa smith said while Xavier hurried in
"I've called him grandpa and he is on his way," he said
"good that brat must tell me why he doesn't want to get married to the good girl I chose" Grandpa Smith
"married??!!"everyone present asked in shock
"yes married... I met a good child when I went to the hotspot restaurant you should have seen her beating up those bad guys for me... She fought so well" Grandpa Smith described with stars in his eyes
"come on Grandpa you just met a person for the first time and you just concluded that she is a girl... That's ridiculous " Treasure said
"Nonsense! you punked brat are you doubting my judgment now I see you've got wings now that you're married right I'll break it..." Grandpa Smith said and chased Treasure with his walking stick
"I can see you're healthy now so we're gonna cancel the marriage registration tomorrow," Alex said standing at the door
The sudden voice at the door made Grandpa Smith paise in his tracks... He turned around and hurried to Alex's side
"Are you going to marry her boy... Have you told her... What did she say ."
..Are you going to marry her boy... Have you told her... What did she say?"
... Have you told her... What did she say?"
Grandpa Smith asked hurriedly with excitement showing in his whole demeanour
Alex walked past him and went to sit on the couch
"tell me boy don't make this old man curious" Grandpa Smith said
"Yes she agreed and we're gonna sign the papers tomorrow and we will move to my house " Alex said
"Your house?... Your house? You brat I didn't ask you to marry girl Emmy to keep her to yourself "
"Girl Emmy!!!" everyone present in the guest house apart from Grandpa Smith and Alex screamed looking at each other in shock
"Grandpa do you mean Alex is going to marry Emerald Jones...Alex's assistant...the girl who looks like Jessy?" light exclaimed in shock
"no no no this isn't possible...bro please tell me it's not true" Xavier walked towards Alex
"Enough with all the questions and who the hell is Jessy" Grandpa Smith asked making light clear her throat not knowing where to start from
"come on and sit Grandpa we need to tell you a story " Treasure said
"yes Grandpa come let's tell you the tale of Jessy the lost child"
"it happened 16 years ago the time you were in India for your heart surgery" Gift started
********
16 years ago
"Stop the car Ray," a woman in her early twenties said and her sudden exclamation made the car come to a halt
"look there... A child is crossing the road on her own " the woman said pointing to there girl in a pink puffy jacket with a worried look on her face
"I wonder where her parents are how on earth could they leave a little child wandering around by this time of the night" the man named Raymond asked as they both get off the car leaving their six-year-old daughter in the car
They walked up to the little girl with worried looks written all over her face
"she looks like a 5-year-old, Clara" Raymond said
"hello child what's your name" Clara asked squatting to the little girl's level
"My name is Jessy... I am daddy's Jessy" the little girl said with a cute smile
"awn isn't she so cute Ray" Clara said pinching her chubby cheeks
"So you're daddy's Jessy right?" Clara asked with a smile
"yes Daddy says it means possession and he said I am his possession, " the girl said hitting her chest with a bright smile
"aww isn't daddy so sweet," Clara said
"yes Daddy was the best daddy in the whole world and Jessy loves him so much," the girl said spreading her hands to show how much she loved her dad
Clara clutched her heart
"cuteness overload Ray I'm afraid I'm gonna explode from all the cuteness" Clara said and Raymond shook his head in amusement..... He looked at his wife and sighed if he let her ask the little girl questions he was afraid that they wouldn't leave here tonight she would squeal every time the little girl made even a slightly cute expression
"ok Jessy where is daddy now" Raymond asked
"Daddy?" Jessy asked with her expression turning sour
"yes dear where is your daddy" Raymond repeated looking at the girl
After a few seconds of waiting for the little girl's answer, she burst into tears
"I can't find Daddy," the girl said in between her sobs
"Come on Jessy... Don't cry" Clara said hugging the girl and trying to calm her down and luckily it worked
"how about mummy" Clara asked wiping the remaining tears from her eyes
"Mummy weft with daddy I can't find mummy either," Jessy said
After asking her many questions they took her to the nearest police station and the police asked her questions but they couldn't find out anything about the girl's parents
"I suggest you take her home... We will get back to you if we find anything about her parents or if we receive a missing child's report" the police said
They did as the police said and decided to take her home Raymond also collected his number just in case they found out anything about her parents
They put Jessy at the passenger sit with their child
"look here light you got a little sister" Clara said
"Yay, little sister is cute..." Light said giving the blushing Jessy a peck on her cheeks
"Don't worry Jessy... big sister Light will take good care of you" Light said hugging Jessy so tight that she began to cough
"That's enough light you're gonna choke her look she's coughing," Clara said with a smile... She felt so happy that her daughter was getting along with Jessy
"At least she would have a playmate for now when her siblings are at school," Raymond said
"that's great I can't wait to introduce her to the family they are gonna be so happy especially Xavier" Clara said
