Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

Chapter 54 - Official Granddaughter

April woke early the next morning, her usual routine was waking early to make breakfast for her father, Lucy and Rachel. But now it was finally the weekend and she was free. She stretched in her comfy bed and bounced up. She decided to start a new routine, she walked to the bathroom and freshened up and tired up her long ebony hair.

Next, she walked to her closet amd took out a pair of black leggings a black sports bra and a top and dressed. She wrapped a hoodie around her waist and put on her red Nike trainers. With her phone and headphones in one in hand, she then took her keys and left her condo.

She pressed for the lift and got inside once it had arrived. She opened up a music app and choose a few songs. She wanted to become stronger and working out would help her, so she wanted to run as often as she could. April walked out of the lift and saw Jace at his station.

"Good morning." April greeted him and saw him smile n blush as he greeted her.

Jace smiled, "Have a lovely day April." What April didn't know was that Jace was blushing as he had remembered Dean's words. He still wondered where they a couple? And did she stay over with Dean? His cheeks burned and he continued his work once seeing April leave the condominium.

April stretched at the benches that were at the entrance of the condominium. Once she stretched she put her earphones in and started her run. There was a park nearby so she ran in that direction. The music helped her to run as it empowered her and gave her good vibes. She ran through the Park and saw many others out exercising and walking their dogs.

She stopped when she saw a small coffee kiosk with tables and chairs around it, she had forgotten her water so she slowed and walked towards it. As she approached she saw the man behind the kiosk arguing with a well dressed older man.

The older man wore a dark blue suit and used a hawthorn stick cane. He looked slightly familiar and also refined. Why are they arguing? April walked closer, she didn't want to listen in but she wanted to help ease the situation if she could.

"I'm telling you I am good for it, my butler or grandson can come to bring you money. Do I seem dishonest to you?" The older man argued.

The man behind the kiosk sighed and responded, "If I allowed everyone to pay me later, I wouldnt have a business now, would I? I am not saying you are dishonest, I just prefer you pay for your goods upfront."

"You think I'll cheat you, I just forgot my wallet. Don't I come here often enough." The older man replied.

"I..." The man behind the kiosk that turned out to be the owner sighed again.

April decided to help out, "I will take a bottle of water and whatever this gentleman wants." April took out her phone to pay for the items. The old man had two large coffee sitting in front of him and some breakfast muffins.

The kiosk owner smiled, he was thankful that he didn't have to argue with this gentleman anymore. He gave April the bottle of water and put the items through the till "That comes to twelve dollars and fifty cents please." He smiled at April.

April used her phone and paid through her contactless app. She then gave the older man a genuine smile, he looked baffled by her kindness.

April was about to leave when the older gentleman smiled and called out to her, "Young lady please stop, what's your name?"

April wanted to finish her run but seeing the older gentleman try and catch up to her she gave up. He was struggling with the coffee's, "Morning sir, my name is April. Do you need some help carrying these coffees?"

The older gentleman saw his butler appear out of the corner of his eye and he quickly and shrewdly shooed him away, "Thank you, my dear, just call me grandpa."

He handed April his coffees as he carried the muffins, he studied her out of the corner of his eye. He was an excellent judge of character and believed her to be pure, sweet and caring. She would be too good for his idiotic grandson.

But if she was his official granddaughter couldn't he pamper her and in return, he would get her wonderful company. She smiled and chatted to him and he started to imagine little granddaughters running about his mansion. He would spoil them all. He had to set up this beautiful soul with his foolish grandson.

Unbeknownst to April while she made small talk with the sweet grandpa he had her whole life planned out ahead of her, "So where are we headed too?" April asked as they left the park.

"It's just a short distance to my grandson's place Cerulean Condominium, can you accompany me for the journey?" He asked, he hoped for his grandson to meet this young girl as soon as possible before she would be stolen away and he would miss out on such an adorable granddaughter.

"Sure no problem. I live there too so we are going the same way." April smiled and walked along the short distance with the grandpa. She thought he was kind and she noticed he smiled often. She didn't remember her grandparents but thought his grandson was lucky to have him.

The grandpa continued to ask her questions and although they were personal she either answered or gave him a vague response. She was sure she would never meet him again, the thought made her slightly sad.

They both walked into the condominium and April showed the grandpa to Jace's security desk. "This is where I will leave you. It was lovely to meet you." April said goodbye and smiled before handing him his coffees and walking to the lift.

"Wait grand... April come meet my grandson." The grandpa answered and walked after her.

Jace looked at the two slightly confused, April knew his grandson very well already he thought.
