Chapter 73 Fly To Spain
Both Jessica and Matthew had the same opinion about Louis.
"But, you are more like your dad. He likes light flavor and he is so picky." Jessica recalled the time when she had dinner with Louis. "Jason is more like me, he likes spicy food. We always can enjoy the meals." Matthew had a peek at the chili sauce and pursed his lips, "I want to be more like you."
Jessica felt the warmth and remarked, "You dummy, and I was born a spicy-eater. No matter who you are like, you and Jason are the same to me. You two are always my sweet heart."
The steaming noodles were served. Jessica was eating the spicy and sour one, and Matthew was eating the delicate one.
They were enjoying their noodles.
Suddenly, Matthew's phone was ringing.
He put down the chopsticks and picked up the phone hurriedly.
"Hello, Jason?"
Jason was silent for a while.
Jessica's heart tightened and she ran to Matthew and hugged him in her arms and then Matthew pressed the hands-free.
She heard Jason was crying sadly from the phone saying, "mom... mom..."
Jessica was so worried, "baby, mom is here!"
Jason was hiding at the corner and he was trying to lowering his voice.
"Mom... Can you come and pick me up?"
Jessica frowned and both of them were important to her. She would be so worried if one of them cried. "Jason, calm down and tell mom what happened to you, OK?"
"Dad tells grandma to lock me in a room alone... And he says that he will hire a nanny to watch me every day. Mom, I don't want to be locked... It's so quiet here. I am so scared." "Lock you in a room?" Jessica's heart tightened.
Matthew's eyebrows furrowed and said, "Younger brother, don't be afraid..."
Jason cut in unhappily before Matthew finished his words, "I'm not younger than you! Mom, I don't care! I don't want to be Matthew Carters! I have to go home..."
"Hush..." Jessica was comforting him and chimed, "Jason, keep your voice down. Help mom hide it from your dad and never tell him about mom and Matthew, can you? I am so sorry to let you live with the Carters. But mom will of course get an idea. Love you."
Jason wasn't willing to do that and murmured for a while then complained, "I don't want to talk to dad ever! I wish that he can't know about us so that he can live alone! But mom, I won't accept to live here unless I can be Matthew's older brother."
Jessica found it funny but worried when she heard what Jason complained.
Matthew had no choice but to roll his eyes and then cleared his voice, saying reluctantly, "brother..."
"What are you saying now? Say it again...." Jason was so delighted and proud.
"Jason Wilson! Don't go too far!" Matthew was gnashing his teeth.
Jessica laughed and said, "Jason, enough. Stop being so rude. Mom will take good care of it and take you back home."
"Yes, mom... I am waiting for you..."
It might be a tough war to save her son back.
However, Jessica didn't dare to get him back.
It would be so distressed for her no matter who she had to give up.
Louis Carter...
"Tell me, what should I do to have them at the same time?" Jessica was asking him in her mind.
When she was thinking over how she could take Jason back home, Louis called her.
He still said in an indifferent voice, "Prepare your passport and luggage. The flight is at 1pm. I will pick you up at noon. Remember, you are my toy."
Before she asked the reason, he hung up the phone coolly.
She gazed at her phone blankly for a second and gritted, "what the hell?"
For the bet, The Wilson won a chance to survive; however, she lost her dignity.
Unexpectedly, she got to know the truth about what happened five years ago.
She was feeling lucky that she could find Matthew back, but it gave her a headache that Louis Carter was the father of her sons. She might not get rid of him her whole life...
Jessica was in a hurry so that she sent Matthew to his school dormitory to stay there for a few days so that he could be taken good care of by others and she didn't need to worry about that. Besides, she was afraid that those greedy Wilson families would get any bad idea on her son when she wasn't home. So, it was a good choice for her.
She called Jason hurried and she was told that Jason had got a nanny then she was a bit relieved.
At noon, Louis showed up downstairs on time.
But when she saw him again, she had a different feeling towards him.
She walked towards his car holding a bag; she found that his hairstyle was different.
Thinking of Jason's messy hair yesterday, there was no doubt that he must take Jason to the hairdresser and had Jason's hair cut. And he also had a trim.
But it suited him so well.
With a well-defined face, delicate appearance and noble temperament, he looked extraordinarily charming no matter what hairstyle he got.
Her heart couldn't help pounding faster.
Louis peeked at her and raised his lips a bit, "get in."
Jessica pulled a long face and she got in the car holding her bag.
She slammed the door hard.
Jessica pursed her lips without saying a word. She wanted to show her anger to him in this way.
Louis's eyebrows' furrowed and he misunderstood that she was mad at him so that he explained lightly, "we are heading to Spain."
He was the one who never explained to others. But when he was facing her, he would be more patient.
"Spain?" Jessica was shocked and she never expected that she would go far away! Then she peeked at him who was driving the car calmly and answered, "I am not going!"
He was driving his car but furrowed. "Do you think you have a right to say no?"
"But why should I go on a business trip with you? Besides, Spain is so far away!" She really wanted to slap him for saying she didn't have a right to say no.
But for Jason, she put up with him.
Because she knew deep down that, she must do something to Louis so that she could see Jason.
"Why? Are you scared? But you are so confident that you will get the 'Shine Project."
"Is there anything to do with the project?"
"I am telling you a hint. I will only choose the design which is in Spanish style."
Jessica was surprised because Terry had been always telling her that Louis preferred Roman classical architecture so that the Wilson was trying so hard with this idea, since the "Shine Project" was a gift to Brenda White for their ten years' anniversary. Therefore, she thought that the Wilson Group would be more likely to win if they designed the project in the Roman classical style.
But they were wrong.
Louis liked the Spanish style.
Jessica smiled and pouted her lips then ridiculed, "So are you dropping a hint that the Wilson should work harder in this style?"
He raised his lips but kept silent. His eyes were unreadable.
They arrived in Barcelona, a city in Spain.
With the Bay of Biscay in the north and the Mediterranean Sea in the southeast, Spain was a Gulf State. Water was one of the soul elements of Spanish style.
But Jessica didn't expect that Louis would take her to Barcelona.
This city, which was known as the "Pearl of Iberia peninsula", had beautiful seas and mountains. The weather was pleasant with exquisite scenery. It had become the most famous tourist attraction in Spain because of its special cultures and customs.
When they landed off, there was a limousine waiting for them.
When the car passed through the city center, Jessica was attracted by the beautiful scenery. She suddenly realized the reason why Louis took her here.
"Louis Carter, Antonio Gaudi must your idol!"
Though she didn't know much about architecture, she worked hard to know some common sense of the construction industry these days.
Therefore, she knew that Antonio Gaudi was a famous Spanish architect and he was the representative of the plastic architecture school. He could be one of the most influential architects of the last century and no one could surpass Gaudi's great achievements.
Though there were different styles in Barcelona, like Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and modern style, Gaudi's design was still the best.
Therefore, some people could call Barcelona "the city of Gaudi". It was the city that nearly all the architects would admire.
She guessed Louis was no exception.
Louis might be too tired that he ignored what she said. He was leaning against the seat with his eyes closed.
It was night and the stars were shining.
The limousine drove into an ancient castle in the Middle Ages.
The castle was one of Louis's industries in Barcelona. Even though he was an expert in architecture, Spain, where he learned architecture, became his second hometown. He even got more familiar with Barcelona than Chicago.
The gate in the European classical style was slowly opened.
"Sir, we are here." The driver was from Chicago but he lived in Barcelona.
Louis opened his eyes and found that Jessica who had been excited to enjoy the scenery along the way before was now leaning against his arm.
Her eyelashes were curly and she looked attractive.
He was attracted by her and he didn't wake her up.
Just then, there was a middle-aged woman who was a bit chubby walking out of the castle.
She walked to the car respectfully and opened the door for Louis then spoke in English fluently, "Sir, welcome back."
Louis nodded his head slightly and then carried Jessica in his arms without any hesitation.
Then he got out of the car and walked straight inside the castle.
That woman was shocked when peeked at the girl with black hair in his arms. Then she followed him hurriedly.
"Sir, do I need to prepare a room for Miss?"
Louis walked back to his Master bedroom and rejected in a cold voice, "no, you can have a break."
"Yes, sir." The woman nodded her head and left.
In the morning, the sunlight was shining into the room from the window.
It was so warm.
