Chapter 547: 547 For Your Sake

Harry listened quietly as Jade told him all that happened at the spa, while he slowly drove them back to Tom's house.

When she was done he turned to her, "You do realize that you don't act in line with your profession, right?"

Jade scowled, "Being a lawyer doesn't make me less human or immune to anger. They were wrong and I had to make an example of them," Jade said defensively.

"By hitting them? How many others have you assaulted like this because you lost your temper? It's a wonder you still have your license," Harry said with a shake of his head.

"That was hardly an assault. They were wrong. Besides, don't you think you should be patting my back for standing up for your beloved cousin instead of scolding me?" Jade asked, and Harry chuckled.

"You never cease to amuse me, esquire. You do realize that you could have stood up for her without hitting anyone, right? I can understand Lucy losing her temper and hitting Anita. I can also understand your mom doing so. But you? A lawyer? You should know better," Harry said, and Jade mumbled under her breath.

"I'm sure if the story ever makes it out, Tanya would realize how lucky she was that I stepped in before you completely lost your temper (chapter 289)," Harry said, and Jade snorted.

"Don't even remind me of that brat. She was so lucky you stepped in when you did and handled it the way you did," Jade said, and Harry grinned.

"I know, right? Tom used to tell me all about your quick temper and how you used to get into fights a lot in high school. And after seeing for myself how short your temper is, I knew I had to step in," Harry explained and Jade scowled.

"Is there a thing Tom hasn't told you about me?" Jade asked, thinking about all Harry knew about her merely from talking with Tom.

"Well, he didn't tell me how much I would enjoy kissing you. I guess some things were left for me to discover myself," Harry said with a wink, and Jade felt herself blushing.

"You're so silly," Jade said with an embarrassed smile that made her cheeks hurt as she looked away from him.

"I really do not want you to get in trouble. Your brothers are causing more than enough trouble already. Besides, you can't always cause trouble because you know your grandfather's name is capable of getting you out of it. So can you at least try to control your fiery temper for my sake?" Harry asked, and Jade turned in her seat to face him.

"For your sake?" she asked, and Harry gave her a nod.

"First for your sake. You should uphold the law you so passionately defend. And then for my sake. When we go public with our relationship, I wouldn't like to see or hear such news of my girlfriend," Harry said, and Jade sighed.

"Fine. I've heard you. I will try," she said, and Harry smiled.

"Good girl. So, you said Aurora was there and she helped Lucy and Tom?" Harry asked, and Jade nodded.

"Yeah. She saved the day. She is such a nice person. Seeing her today, I felt really guilty about everything. I really don't listen, do I? I ended up making things complicated for us all when I could have just minded my business and stopped trying to play matchmaker when you asked me to," Jade murmured.

"Don't beat yourself over it. I will be as polite and gentle as I can be when I let her down. That way your friendship won't be affected," Harry promised her softly.

"Are you sure? Do you think she will forgive me?" Jade asked, and Harry shrugged.

"Of course, she will. It's not like you snatched her man. As I said, don't worry about it. I will ensure her feelings and pride won't be hurt," Harry said, and Jade nodded.

"She is attending to Lucy. What if Lucy let's it skip?" Jade asked thoughtfully.

"Lucy isn't the type to do that. She won't say a word to her," Harry said confidently.

"How are you so sure of that?"

"Because I trust her. Lucy won't tell," Harry said, and Jade relaxed.

"Yeah. I suppose you're right. I'm sorry for leaving you to clean up a mess I made," Jade said apologetically.

"You won't be the first Hank whose mess I'm cleaning up," Harry said, and chuckled when Jade hit his arm playfully.

"Why do you keep badmouthing about my family?"

"Because I can."

"So, what about you? How was your day? How much did you miss me?" Jade asked, and Harry smiled.

"More than I thought possible. I was indoor with my dad, Candace, Jamal, and the nurse," Harry said, and Jade nodded.

"So how are you guys bonding?" Jade asked curiously.

"You mean the nurse and I?" Harry asked innocently, and Jade glared at him, making him chuckle.

"Candace can be quite annoying," Harry said with a grin, and Jade smiled.

"Siblings are generally annoying," she assured him.

"I've heard people say that for years, but I'm just beginning to understand it," Harry said, and Jade giggled.

"Your dad. He's feeling better, right?" She asked, and Harry nodded.

"Yeah. I spoke with Sara today," He said, and as he expected, she looked at him with interest.

"She called?"

"No, I did. I called her," Harry said as he drove into Tom's compound.

"You did? Why? What did you both discuss?" Jade asked curiously, and Harry told her about his conversation with Sara as he parked the car.

"I see," she said thoughtfully, after he had explained his plan to her.

"What do you see?" Harry asked, wanting to know exactly what she thought.

"I think it's a brilliant plan. Although quite dangerous if truly she is desperate to cover her crimes as you believe," Jade said, and Harry raised a brow.

"You think she might try to hurt the fake Candace?" Harry asked, and Jade gave him a nod.

"Think about it, do you think someone as selfish as she is would want to leave a daughter she abandoned alive? That would be too risky. If she gets someone she believes to be her daughter, she would most likely take the liver or whatever she wants from the girl and get rid of her. That way, neither you nor your dad would ever know of it. Her secret would be safe from everyone," Jade said, and Harry nodded.

"Good. I thought so too. And that's fine. I'm counting on her trying to get rid of the girl to cover her crimes. If I can't find the proof to make her pay for the crime she committed years ago, I should at least make her commit new crimes that would expose her past crimes as well," Harry said, and Jade smiled.

"You should have gone to law school."

"It's a good thing my soon to be girlfriend did, and my sister is in one," Harry said, and Jade grinned.

"Speaking about Candace, I heard from Sonia that Matt is joining Bryan," She said, and Harry nodded.

"Yeah. What do you think about Matt and Candace?" Harry asked, and Jade shrugged.

"They like each other but Candace is pushing him away," Jade said, and Harry smiled.

"I figured."

"Why do you ask?" Jade asked curiously.

"I just wanted to confirm it. The only way to get her to shut up is when I bring Matt up. I plan to get on her nerves," Harry said, and Jade laughed softly.

"I've laughed and smiled so much that my jaw aches. I think I smile thrice as much when I'm with you," Jade said, and Harry chuckled.

"Have you had dinner yet?" He asked, and she shook her head.

"At first I wasn't hungry because I had a lot on my mind, and now I'm just so full of you," Jade said with a content smile and Harry shook his head.

"Make sure you get something to eat before going to bed," Harry said, and she sighed.

"Alright. I will. You too. Or maybe not," Jade said with a scowl as she sat up and eyed him.

"Why did the nurse prepare your meal this morning? I mean, I know she is there to take care of your dad's health. But why is she looking after a man who isn't hers?" Jade asked, and Harry grinned.

"I only said that to get on your nerves. I ordered breakfast for everyone," Harry said, and Jade hit him arm making him chuckle.

"Do you have any idea how upset I was? Quit trying to get on my nerves. And don't ever refer to her as pretty again," Jade said, and Harry smiled as he watched her.

"Mind you, this has nothing to do with insecurity. It's pure and sincere jealousy," Jade said, and Harry threw back his head to laugh.

Jade felt warm as she watched him laugh, "I never knew you could laugh this much until today," Jade said with a wide smile, and Harry smiled.

"I can't remember the last time I laughed so much in a day. It goes without saying that I enjoy your company...."

"Yet you didn't laugh this much all the time we were together in Varis," Jade pointed out.

"I told you already. I wasn't comfortable. I was still sort of struggling with my attraction and feelings for you, and you really did not make it easy coming around me half naked and getting in my space," Harry said, and Jade smiled.

"I'm glad I didn't make it easy. I don't plan to go easy on you, Jonas," Jade said, and Harry raised a brow.

"I noticed you have been calling me that all evening. Why is that?"

"I sort of prefer it to calling you Harry. Everyone else calls you Harry. And Jonas sort of sounds sexy to me. Or maybe it just sounds sexy to me because it's your name. If your surname was Abraham it would probably sound sexy too," Jade said with a wink, and Harry shook his head in amusement.

"If I didn't know better I would think you had too much wine to drink," Harry said, and Jade grinned.

"Perhaps it's your lips. I'm intoxicated by you, Jonas," Jade said as she leaned close to Harry and he moved back.

"You need to go in now, esquire. We've been out here long enough," Harry said, and she pouted.

"But...."

"I still need to drive back home, remember? I can't just leave my dad alone with the nurse for so long. And I also need to get some rest, tomorrow is a work day," Harry reminded her.

"Oh! That's true. I guess I have to let you go then," Jade said with a sigh.

"Come here," Harry said, and Jade's heart skipped a beat when he pulled her to himself and kissed her long and hard.

Jade moaned into his lips as her fingers moved to his hair, and Harry groaned, wanting to break away but unable to let go. Thankfully, he didn't have to struggle much because someone knocked on the window, bringing him back to his senses.

He immediately let go of Jade, and turned with a guilty expression to see who it was. He scowled when he came face to face with Tom whose grinning face was pressed against his window, and beside him was Lucy.

"Go in, esquire. I will give you a call when I get home," Harry told Jade as she opened her door, but he did not do the same. Not with the bulge in his trouser.

"When I saw you drive in and didn't get out of your car for so long, I thought something happened to you so I decided to check. Who would have thought you were inside with our sister?" Tom asked with a knowing grin when Harry rolled down his window, and Harry glared at him while Lucy who was resting against Tom giggled.

"I suppose you're pissed I interrupted you? Don't worry. I didn't see anything, I assure you. I suppose you were getting something out of our sister's eyes? Or was it her lips? I guess something got stuck in there and you could only use your lips," Tom continued with a taunting smile.

"Shut up, Tom, or I'm going to kill you," Harry threatened and Tom chuckled.

"You'd need to get out of the car to do that, and we both know you can't," Tom said, and hooted with laughter while Harry swore at him.

"Tom, can you stop teasing him?" Jade asked as she joined them beside Harry's window.

"No, I can't. It's between me and him, so stay out of it," Tom said without taking his amused eyes off Harry who was now staring at Lucy, and deliberately ignoring Tom.

"Hey, Lulu! Are you okay?" Harry asked Lucy, who was still grinning.

"I'm fine, HaHa. How are you? And how is Aaron?" Lucy asked, her speech slightly slurred.

"Much better today. And I'm fine. I guess you had a lovely time with this good for nothing fool?" Harry asked, and Lucy giggled as she swayed slightly on her feet.

"I had a swell time with the love of my life. And we did lots of fun stuff you can't even imagine. And he is no fool," Lucy said as she placed her arms around his waist possessively.

"Are you okay, Lucy?" Jade asked as she watched Lucy with interest.

Tom chuckled, "She is not. She's sort of tipsy," Tom said as he placed both arms around Lucy to keep her steady.

"I told you I'm fine," Lucy protested, her speech still slurred.

"You neither look nor sound fine," Jade observed, and Lucy snorted.

"I was sober enough to see you pressed against HaHa with your fingers in his hair like this," Lucy said, puckering her lips in a kiss gesture as she dug her fingers into Tom's hair.

"I guess you're fine if you saw that," Tom said as he looked from Lucy back to Harry.

"No, she's not fine," Harry said, feeling both amused and embarrassed by Lucy's display. Knowing Lucy, he was certain she would be embarrassed come morning.

"I planned to speak with you, but I guess that won't be possible seeing the situation of things. And it's late too," Harry said, and Tom nodded.

"Yeah. Let's catch up at the office tomorrow. I've got to take my baby inside. And I'm sure you both have to continue whatever we interrupted," Tom said with a wink before sweeping Lucy off her feet and carrying her bridal style inside.

"Go in with them, esquire. I will give you a call soon as I get home," Harry said, and Jade blew him a kiss before running after Tom.

Harry waited until he saw her get into the house and shut the door behind her before driving away.
