Chapter 121: The woman of his life
As Diana held Jaegar for a moment, her embrace conveyed all the love and longing that had accumulated during his absence.
She couldn't help but bury her face in his shoulder, inhaling his familiar scent and feeling a sense of relief wash over her. It was a moment of pure bliss, knowing that her baby boy was finally back home.
It was a reunion filled with warmth and emotion. Eventually, she pulled back, her hands cupping his face gently as she examined him with a mother's concern.
"Are you eating properly?" Diana inquired, her voice tinged with worry. "You've become so frail."
Tabitha, who had been watching the heartfelt exchange, couldn't resist interjecting in her usual candid manner. "Let the boy in first, girl. Are you planning to hold him there all day?" Her playful tone lightened the moment.
With a fond smile, Diana relented, releasing her hold on Jaegar's hand. She led him inside, her grip still firm with affection. Jaegar, reacquainting himself with the familiar sights and sounds of his home, felt a profound sense of contentment. story source m vl e mp yr
Diana, the woman who had played a pivotal role in his life, was the woman of his life. Without her, he would have been the same idiotic and pathetic self of his previous life.
They made their way to the cozy hall, settling in to catch up on lost time. Conversations flowed, and they exchanged stories of the past year. Diana shared the news that her boss had visited their home, adding an interesting twist to their reunion.
Jaegar expressed his desire to freshen up and headed upstairs to his room.
Inside, he meticulously unpacked his luggage, neatly arranging his clothes and belongings. His room bore the unmistakable touch of his meticulous nature, an orderly sanctuary amidst the chaos of life.
Venturing into the bathroom, he indulged in a leisurely shower, the warm water cascading over him like a gentle embrace.
Fifteen minutes slipped away as he took his time, meticulously cleansing himself. It was a ritual he held dear, a testament to his commitment to personal hygiene.
Jaegar always relished the feeling of being clean and refreshed, a sensation that invigorated both body and soul.
As the steam-filled bathroom became his sanctuary, he lost himself in the soothing embrace of the shower.
However, just as he was about to step out, he realized that he had left the door unlocked. It was a minor oversight, one he usually brushed off as he had nothing to hide from Diana.
Yet, fate had a different plan. The door swung open, revealing an unexpected intruder.
Tabitha, with wide eyes and an apologetic expression, stood there, taking in the sight of Jaegar in all his naked glory. Her gaze didn't miss the subtle details that left her momentarily flustered. She quickly averted her eyes and stammered out an embarrassed apology before hastily shutting the door.
Leaning against the door after closing it, Tabitha felt her heart racing with a mix of anticipation and embarrassment.
She collected herself with a deep breath and regained her composure as she descended the stairs, hoping to brush off the unexpected encounter, but the image of his naked body flashed in her mind, and his big stick was the only thing that had been on her mind since then.
Jaegar, his smile reflecting his easygoing nature, continued to dry himself with the towel after his shower. Her unexpected visit had taken him by surprise, and he was waiting to see her reaction when he went down.
He wore a T-shirt and shorts, and he made his way downstairs to the welcoming aroma of a meal that Diana had lovingly prepared for the three of them.
Jaegar took his seat opposite Tabitha, with Diana by his side.
The atmosphere at the table was jovial as they shared stories and conversation, savouring the home-cooked meal. They talked about how they had been at work all day and just came home to have lunch with them.
Tabitha, trying to steer herself away from the thoughts of Jaegar's naked form, looked at Diana and said, "Diana, why don't you go out with Mr.Gilkes? He seems quite interested in you."
"He even said that he would make an actress."
Jaegar suddenly frowned and looked at Diana. He had noticed that geezer's gaze on that day when he went to the office, but he didn't think that he had gone all the way to offer her things.
He waited for Diana to speak.
Diana sighed and said, "No, as I say always, there will be no dating for me. The ship has already sailed. It will be just me and the boy."
Jaegar felt content hearing it and a little sad at the same time. They couldn't exactly come out and announce their relationship, especially with Diana being his aunt.
He was not the one to bother about what others were saying, but Diana has to listen to their sh*t all the time. He hated himself for not making visits to see his dear aunt, his woman, even when he knew he could.
As the conversation continued about various other things, it turned to Jaegar, and Diana talked with gleaming eyes. She told Tabitha that he was studying at a university abroad and pursuing his passion for architecture. Tabitha couldn't help but notice the genuine happiness in Diana's voice as she spoke about Jaegar, and it became clear that their relationship was something truly special to her.
Tabitha, still slightly flustered from the earlier encounter, did her best to avoid Jaegar's gaze, a faint blush lingering on her cheeks.
As they finished their meal, she excused herself with the pretext of having something else to attend to.
Jaegar and Diana exchanged puzzled glances, their curiosity piqued by Tabitha's abrupt departure.
With Tabitha out of the picture, Diana leaned in closer to Jaegar, a mischievous twinkle in her eye.
She playfully asked, "Done with your second, huh?" Her suggestive tone hung in the air as she continued, "Now, do you want to eat?"
"or do you want to take a bath?"
"or perhaps..." She trailed off, raising an eyebrow suggestively, her fingers caressing his cheeks. "do you wanna have me?"
