Capturing My Prince のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Jake's POV:"I grew up in this house till I was seven. Amanda loved me and Mr. Carter cared for me. Veronica and Jacob would play with me." I said."It's hard to believe you are talking about the same people I know," She said sounding mad.I kissed her head. She sighed and snuggled closer to me. I reached for her silky soft hair and started to play with them."Mr. Carter set up his business in North of Boston. We all moved to your neighborhood. I met Brandon and he became my friend instantly. Veronica and Jacob got busy with their studies and made new friends. Amanda and Mr. Carter started to stay out late. They would leave me alone in the home without anything to eat. Days turned into months and I was losing weight and getting sick. Then Jenny came." I said.I recalled the day when she came into my life. She was as beautiful as an angel."Jenny?" Elena asked confused."She was hired to babysit me and do some chores around the house. She used to read me stories, play with me, help me

Jake's POV"How do you know that you love me?" I asked."I know how it feels to see the person you are in love with sad and in pain. That's what I am trying to change. I want to make you happy." She placed her hand over mine and gripped it."How can you be so sure that it is love?" I asked her with the soft smile.I didn't want to make her cry. I knew how soft and fragile her heart was.She closed her eyes and pursed her lips."When we were kids, I always liked you." She said making smile."I know you liked me, after all, I was your partner in crime," I said recalling how many times I had bribed her to annoy Brandon."Not like that. I mean I used to imagine you as my prince. I had a crush on you. I even told Eric about my feelings. That's why he started to annoy you so you wouldn't come to our house more often," She said.I was really shocked. I never saw her like that in the past.She was just a cute little sister of my best friend for me."You left for college and I started high sch

Elena's POV“Are you J-Jenny’s son?” She asked.Jake froze and my eyes widened in shock.The woman was staring at us and we were gawking at her in shock.I decided to speak because Jake looked terrified to speak.“How do you know Jenny?”The woman turned her attention to me and frowned.“She used to work here in my café when she was a young little girl.” She said.My hand was resting on the table and he slowly moved his hand and placed it over mine. I could see it on his face that he was scared to find out more about his mother.“How did you recognize him that he is her son? Did she talk to you about him?”I asked her hoping that she would tell something that will explain why Jake had to spend his childhood without his mother.“No, I just assumed that he is her son because he looks a lot like her.” The woman laughed lightly.Jake’s grip tightened on my hand. The hopefulness and sadness were clear on his face.“What do you know about her?” I asked with the smile.“She used to work in t

Elena's POV:I was just staring at the woman in wonder and sorrow. She was refusing to acknowledge the presence of her son that she left behind when he was only eight.Can any mother do this with her own child?My question was answered when she smiled and said, "We're celebrating my daughter's thirteenth birthday today. Why don't you both join us?"Jake let go of my hand. I noticed how numb my hand had turned due to his strong grip.I glanced at Jake; he looked ready to burst into tears or anger. I wanted to shield him from the further pain."Thank you for the offer, Mrs. Patrick. I think we'd like to leave. It was nice meeting you,"I knew I sounded bitter.Jenny gave an uncertain smile.I took the step forward only to be halted by a sweet voice."I'd love it if you guys stay."The girl was smiling at me sweetly with excitement in her eyes."I'm sorry. Happy Birthday...""Ross Patrick," She said her name holding her hand out."Happy Birthday, Ross. I hope you celebrate more wonderful

Elena's POV"If you are not vegan then you should try it. My wife makes best steaks with these natural herbs and butter," Eden said.I smiled at him with an awkward look on my face."I like steak but I hate this particular flavor,"I knew he was lying to show his mother that this food wouldn't heal his ruptured soul.I didn't know if I was going too far with my next act, but I didn't really care.I placed the steak on his plate while he glared at him. I gave him my puppy dog eyes as I cut the piece and move the fork to his closed mouth."Try it, Jake. Please, I want you to tell me how it is because I tried to make it for the first time," I said.He shook his head glaring but opened his mouth."It's pleasant," He said.I stared at his lips, breathlessly remembering about last night."You guys are so cute," Ross exclaimed making me jump.I placed the fork down blushing and focused on my plate."Why don't you have a girlfriend, Tyler?" Ross asked making a face.Tyler coughed loudly looki
