Coming Home For Christmas

Chapter 98 - A New Situation. Ww Chapter 98 - A New Situation

Lacey's POV

“What the hell did you just say, Lacey?"

"Yeah, can you repeat that for me again, kid"

~

For Christ's sake

“Right before GiGi died, she told me that she'd had an affair with our father and she was hoping to lure him away from all of us so that he

could be with her and give her the lifestyle she's always wanted but he refused and told her that he loved our mom way too much to leave

bmn fo me fle SE tho che fll eet Loto children which again she hoped would entice him away from his family but

h her"

each time they look like they're lost in disbelief as I tell it, not that I can blame

mem

“So, let me get this straight...dad had an affair with GiGi and those two

kids are possibly his?"

Justin asks me and I nod my head

“Yeah”

“That bastard... mean, always knew he was a shitty dad but a shitty husband?...no, he's always worshipped the ground our mom walked

on"

Liam said in disbelief as Justin's hands tightened to the point of turning white

When I called my brothers over here, it was because I wanted to get

Chapter 98 - A New Situation. WY

everything out there on the table including our father's mistreatment of Liam, as well as him potentially cheating on our mom and fathering

two other children

Justin was beyond pissed when Liam told him what he had suffered through at the hands of our own father, in fact, he was so angry, he

smashed a really expensive vase in my living room but I'm not crying a river over it because it was ugly and 1 was hoping to ditch it anyway, I

had just never found the time to

Anyway, Justin was naturally livid and blamed himself for not protecting us from our dad

Liam and I had even tried to reassure him that he wasn't at fault but Justin refused to listen and he said the same thing to us that Liam said

to me that its his job as the eldest big brother to protect all of us and he failed because he couldn't stop our father from hurting Liam and

me and no matter what, he can't stop our other brother from mentally torturing himself and drinking his life away This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

I placed my hand on top of Justin's hands to hopefully relax him and calm him down which worked thankfully

The last thing any of us need right now is for Justin to lose his s**t

“So, do you believe her?"

Liam asks me and I subconsciously shake my head

“I don't know to be honest with you, Li"

I'say whilst running a hand through my hair

“When she first told me, I honestly thought that she was saying it just to hurt me..to stick the knife in further if you will but I don't know"

Ilook down at my hand which was still on Justin's hand before looking back up at them

“If I'm being totally honest with you guys..'m confused by it all...because some of the things she said seemed accurate but it didn't, if that

makes any sense”

“What do you mean? like what?"

“Like when she said dad only wanted his boys"

Isaid while letting out a breath

“Only someone who is in our inner circle or is a mistress to the man himself would know that dad preferred his sons over his daughter

because dad always wanted to maintain the perfect keeping up with the Jones's type of exterior to the world, he'd never want it made

public that he resented his own daughter just because she's a girl”

Isaid before stopping to take a brief breather

“But if she's telling the truth then her story contradicts dad's actions because Chloe I can see him abandoning but Alex..no way, he'd wanna

make sure that kid was dripping in Gold but according to GiGi he threatened her and cut them all off, in fact, she even bragged about Chloe

and Alex never knowing who their biological father is or being supported by him and they'll live the rest of their lives in poverty while he

lives like a king because she knew our father wouldn't support them"

“Jesus Christ"

Liam groaned as he runs a hand over his face and through his hair

“So, what do we do..."

“Auntie Lacey, auntie Lacey"

Liam was cut off when Alex ran into the room shouting my name

Both Alex and Chloe have been calling Logan and me uncle and auntie ever since the first time we met them which I think is cute but now it

feels

weird to me ever since my confrontation with GiGi and discovering that

Chapter 98 - A New Situation. Ww they may be my siblings

“Hi there little one, what can I do for you?"

Task with a smile

Alex nervously looked at Liam and Justin who were looking at him wide-eyed

“drew you a picture, it's a thank you because you helped my grams and gramps”

Aww, he's so cute

"Wow, thank you so much, it's beautiful"

I gave him a hug which he reciprocated

“I'm gonna go back to play with Dayton and Logan, I love you auntie”

“Ilove you too, honey”

Alex gives me another hug before leaving but not before looking at my brothers again with a wary-eyed gaze

As soon as Alex was gone and he was no longer in earshot, I looked back at my brothers who were still wide-eyed and their mouths were

gaping open

“Looks like a mini James Carpenter, doesn't he?"

Ididn't notice it at first because to be fair, you don't necessarily look for or notice something unless it's been pointed out to you but now

that I know there's a possibility that my dad is also their dad as well, I can't help but see the similarities between them and us and our dad

Like I said, Alex looks like a mini James Carpenter but he also looks like Justin, Liam and Luca and he's got certain attributes that are similar

to them as well, as for Chloe, she looks like Bunny did when she was a little girl, except she's got green eyes like me and dark hair which I'm

guessing

Chapter 98 - A New Situation. WZ she inherited from GiGi who was a natural brunette before she dyed her hair blonde

“Wait until you get a good look at the girl, it's like looking at a mini Bunny, she's even got similar traits as our grams and has got her

personality as well”

I'say with a chuckle

“s**t, 1 don't think the world can handle another Bunny, can they?"

“Well, Gin companies would be grateful if she turns out like grams”

I'say and we all chuckle

“So, what do we do now? do we do a DNA test? do we confront dad? do we ignore it? what?"

Irun a hand through my hair again as I let out a frustrated breath

The next natural step should be a DNA test so that we can determine if they are or aren't my dad's kids because if they are then their family

tree will automatically be blown wide open and they'll have more family members than just their maternal grandparents but at the same

time, I don't know if I want to do this which may seem selfish on my part but trust me, I have my reasons for feeling this way

“I think we should do a DNA test and find out once and for all if GiGi was being a lying piece of s**t or if she was telling the truth for once”

“Justin's right, itl also put all of our minds at ease and those kids will also know where they come from and have more family"

“But do we really want to subject them to a dad like James Carpenter, especially Chloe?"

Lask them and they both narrow their eyes at me

Chapter 98 - A New Situation. Ww

“What do you mean?”

Justin asks me

“Well, I know first-hand what it's like to be raised by that man when you're a girl and Liam has already told you what he did to him...do we

really wanna put them through that? because I don't to be honest with you guys, I don't want that man anywhere near them, especially if

he's gonna use them as a way for redemption or to start over from scratch as a dad"

“But they deserve to know, kid and so do we"

Liam says and I nod my head

“Tknow"

Isaid barely above a whisper

It doesn't matter either way if we do the test or not because Chloe and Alex will always be taken care of regardless and so will their

grandparents

This is a promise I had made to both myself and Logan before I even knew there was a chance they were my siblings and it's a promise I'm

gonna keep until the day I die

“Why don't we do this then, kid? let's go and speak with Chloe and Alex's grandparents about this and if they agree then we'll go and do the

test and if the results come back that they're one of us, then we'll take it from there"

“But what if they are dad's kids and he finds out and he wants to take custody of them?"

Task and Justin scoffs

“He'll be wasting his time, kid, I mean, he's had what..ten years to claim the girl and four to claim the boy, he's never paid a single dime in

Chapter 98 - A New Situation. WZ

child support, he's never been there for them and he's more or less abandoned them and left them to rot"

“Not to mention, we'd only have to tell the judge about what he's done to us and he'll be laughed out of court”

“Hmm, I guess so"

I'say whilst letting out a sigh

“I just wanna protect them at all costs, that's all”

“And we will, Lace, I promise you"

Liam says with a smile

“So, when should we do this?"

Task my brothers and they smile brightly at me

“There's no time like the present, kid"

“Can we? I mean, Christmas is literally days away”

po.

Liam said while shrugging his shoulders

“We can do the tests, have a happy Christmas and then deal with the results afterwards”

Liam says like it's just that simple which it probably is and it's just me overthinking and overcomplicating everything as usual

“Yeah and if it does turn out that our father is also a lying, cheating, deadbeat scumbag husband, as well as a lousy and abusive father then

maybe we can set our big dog onto him"

“Now that's an idea, from what I've heard, Klayton was already a raging bull when he found out what Lacey had been through, he'll be

practically foaming at the mouth and desperate to get his claws into our old man if it's proven GiGi was right and he has in fact been

cheating on ourmom"

Liam said excitedly and I chuckled

“Klayton's gone back to North Carolina for the holidays, Li"

“It's ok, that's what cellphones were created for, kid, we can always call him back”

He says and I once again laugh

Don't tempt me, brother
