Husband you've abandoned me. Fine, I'll focus on raising my son - Chapter 269: Who’s Megan?

Chapter 269: Who’s Megan?

“I don’t know how I am going to deal with this,” she told me worriedly and began to move away from me. I know this whole situation was taking a toll on her.

I brought my hands to her shoulders. “I know you’re worried. I’m sorry I haven’t made any progress. ”

“I know you’re doing your best, it’s just hard, that’s all,” she told me.

I felt so much pressure to find Tony. I couldn’t bear to see her in this state anymore. Stressed and tired.

“Uh, Keith,” she then said, pulling me out of my thoughts.

“Yes?” I replied.

“Can I visit my mother’s grave?” She asked me. “It’ll just be for a moment, I just want…” she said, sounding pained and worried.

I stared down at her. I recalled Jasmine had lost her mother at a young age and she loved her mother dearly.

Before Diana came before I recalled she often visited her mothers grave a few times every year.

Looking down at Jasmine a feeling of guilt came over me as I felt bad she felt the need to ask for something like this.

“Of course,” I agreed. “Take your time you can go.” It wasn’t an unreasonable request with the typical bodyguards I had watching over her I could permit.

JASMINE’S POV

As I looked up at Keith, my eyes widened, and I tried to seem sympathetic and pitiful to really pull at his heartstrings.

“Of course, when do you want to go?” he accepted my request, looking concerned.

“This weekend,” I suggested. It was already Friday afternoon now.

“Sure.”

“Thank you.”

Thank god Keith had agreed that I could visit my mother’s grave. It was a simple enough request that I thought he would accept. Now I could put my next plan into motion.

How could I communicate further with Louis? I’d been thinking hard about it for the past two days since establishing communication with Louis, and as if get any better, Keith wasn’t questioning my messages with Megan so far. I knew he was going through them and reading them even though he hadn’t said anything about them so far.

I was grateful for Louis finding a way to reach out to me because I was still shaken after hearing Keith’s father’s statements about Tony’s kidnapping yesterday. It made it seem like he was more concerned for the company than Tony.

Despite Keith softening and opening up to me lately, I wasn’t entirely sure how he was going to approach Tony’s kidnapping as the deadline neared. With Keith’s father in his ear, it made me a little worried. I wasn’t sure what to expect.

I chose not to confront Keith about the conversation he had had with his father. If my act faltered even for a moment, I would go back to square one with him. I should continue to be open and agreeable.

In any case, Louis gave me another opening to take matters into my own hands if I have to. And that’s where going to my mother’s grave comes in.

I checked my phone and opened my messages with Megan. It was a pretty normal conversation we had. I was asking her about college, and she asked me how work was.

“So maybe this weekend, if you have time, we can meet up I won’t have time afterwards until finals, since I’ll be studying?” My eyes curiously read the message. Was Louis suggesting I meet up with Megan and try to talk with her, or for a message to be secretly passed between us this way?

I but my lip as I contemplated. In any case, the idea wasn’t a good one.

With Keith still gradually opening up to me it was still too early for a plan like this. Meeting with others might make him more nervous about what I will say or if I will secretly try to communicate with her. I imagine he would say no if I tried to ask him to meet with Megan.

My idea at the cemetery was for me to send a message to him. A proper one with no coded way of speaking

My idea was better since it didn’t involve meeting with anyone

Using my mother’s grave to do this was a little messed up, but I didn’t know any other way of how I could do it. It was the only place I could think of to ask Keith to go visit where he would find my intentions to go there suspicious.

Now as for how I could communicate that Louis was the next step.

“I can’t this weekend, Megan. I made and have plans. I will be with my husband and I will also visit my mother’s grave and leave some flowers this Saturday.

Was the message too much, I wondered?

I had two issues to consider whilst writing this message. One, will Keith find out I was secretly trying to communicate with Megan? Two, how could I make it clear that I wanted Louis to go to my mother’s grave?

“No worries, I guess we’ll plan something after my finals! And pass my greetings to your mother,” Louis replied a while later.

Did Louis get it? I thought to myself. I certainly hoped he did.

“Who are your friends?” Keith asked me. The following day as I ate with him. I nervously swallowed. I’m he was referring to Megan the only person I was talking too.

“I have a friend called Megan, I met her when I used to work as a waitress at the Garden House restaurant. She’s a waitress there.

No point lying about who she was hen he could easily verify himself. But I was worried he might find suspicion since she worked at a Warrington restaurant he might think she has ties to Louis. I hoped not.

“I see,” Keith accepted my answer.

I couldn’t tell much of what he thought from that neither his facial expression say much as well. None-the- less he didn’t seem angry or upset about my conversations
