Chapter 269
Jonathan’s POV
Rollings House – an hour later
After an hour’s drive, I finally reached Rolling’s House.
The house did feel familiar on seeing, but I got stuck at the door as I couldn’t remember the password.
I tried the password I used on the laptop p>
It worked.
I exhaled.
I entered quietly thinking no one would be home.
I thought no one would be home, but I could hear movement.
As I walked towards the hallway, I saw Veronica.
I thought she would ask me what I was doing here, instead she moved quickly over to the canvas stand and covered something.
I had already seen it in a photo, but she still covered it.
I should have been suspicious, but I was confused as to why did she do that?
“What’s special about that photo that I can’t see p>
“Is it someone I can’t see p>
“Let’s just say you can’t at the moment p>
“But once you remember, you can p>
I knew that photo was important to her, I could tell the way she was careful to not drop it, but she was still hiding it from me.
I looked around and smiled.
I still had not known what this house held and now p>
Just then a young boy ran over but Veronica stopped before he could reach me.
It was Joshua.
“You look a lot like me when I was your age p>
“I think we have a link p>
“Vance said my family members live here p>
“Seeing you, I believe him now p>
“But who are you p>
“I mean, Veronica, who’s son is he p>
“Mine, of course,” she said randomly.
“I understood that, but I meant his father p>
“Actually Janet also looked like him when she was this old p>
“Odd, I’d say he was my son if you wouldn’t be so secretive p>
“Hey, bud p>
I called out as Joshua walked over since she allowed him.
I could feel his hesitation.
“What are you worried about p>
“Nothing, only can I call you Dad p>
“Me? Dad? Hey, I don’t know how your real father would feel p>
“He’d be happy p>
“Well, if so, then sure p>
“Why were you looking at me as if you were waiting for me p>
“I was actually p>
I could see he was struggling to answer and that hurt me.
My chest tightened on seeing him like that.
“Joshua, I don’t remember lots of things at the moment p>
“But since you called me Dad, I think you did before too p>
He nodded.
“Then be normal like you were with me before p>
He smiled as he nodded and hugged me.
I felt relieved as he hugged me.
I suddenly had a headache.
“Dad what’s the matter p>
“Nothing bud p>
“I’ve been having these dreams p>
“Can you tell me p>
“Sure p>
“I keep on seeing a woman in my memory p>
“Everytime I see her, I feel warm p>
“But as she disappears I feel like I’m lost p>
I felt an ache in my heart…one I could not explain in words.
I looked over at Veronica, who since I entered was standing at a distance.
“You look a lot like the woman in my dreams p>
She smiled on hearing me, but brushed it off.
“Not possible, and isn’t Imelda your fiancée p>
“You shouldn’t say things that make her angry p>
“I think you’re more angry than her p>
“Shouldn’t I be she murmured under her breath.
“You know the dream,” I looked around.
“It’s of this house p>
“Odd, I never wore a wedding dress here, then who’s he seeing p>
Even though she was speaking low, I still heard her.
“Well, whoever she is…I will find out.” I said in a determined voice.
“You know the more I look at you, the more I’m certain you are the one in my dream p>
“Why are you so far from me p>
“Did you hate me or something p>
“But when you do look at me, all I feel is warmth p>
“Odd, I don’t feel like this when Imelda watches me p>
She went quiet.
“We’ve known each other for a long time, right p>
“Yes,” she replied.
I looked around.
“Care to show me around p>
“Sure, come on p>
As we went from room to room, I asked her random questions, and she gave me flat replies.
“And that room is?” I asked as she was skipping that room.
“That’s the master bedroom p>
“May I p>
“NO p>
“What p>
“That’s my room, I can’t let you in p>
“Privacy matters p>
“Okay, if you say so p>
“But this house is mine, I can if I want p>
“Do you p>
“No, I won’t pry p>
I noticed she was highly careful of what she says and what she answered.
Was she afraid of someone?
“The furniture p>
“You selected it when we came over here p>
“I knew the moment I came in p>
“We came over p>
“Yes, but you live over at Harmon Mansion p>
“I do p>
I turned around as I didn’t want to hear her reply.
“Odd, this is my home, yet I feel like a stranger here p>
“I hope you remember soon so you don’t feel like that p>
“You know the image of the woman in my dream is getting clearer since I came here p>
“Really?” she replied in a flat tone.
“That’s good then p>
I suddenly got a severe headache.
“What’s the matter Jonny? Are you hurting? Do I call the doctor p>
“No…I’m fine p>
“I just saw the woman clearly p>
Veronica froze on hearing me.
I stood up and looked at Veronica.
“Who are you to me p>
“I don’t know what you are saying p>
“The woman in my dream p>
“The one wearing a wedding dress p>
“It’s you, you’re the woman in the wedding dress p>
She was still frozen.
Was she thinking of what to say?
“I always felt more closer to you than Imelda p>
“And more belonging to p>
“You still won’t tell me what’s going on p>
“Who are you p>
“What’s Joshua’s relation to me p>
“How are you related to me?
“What do you mean p>
“I mean what I’m asking p>
“Vance said my family members live here p>
“And Joshua looks a lot…no exactly like me when I was his age p>
“Care to tell what’s going on p>
“Is he p>
“Look, the doctor said p>
“I want the truth.” I demanded.
She removed her phone out and put it on speaker mode as she dialed a number.
“Hello, doctor, I’m Veronica, Jonathan is with me p>
“He wants to know why I’m not telling him about me p>
“So can I p>
“Mr Rollings has completely forgotten you, it’s best to go slowly as if you rush him, he may totally forget you p>
“Thanks,” she disconnected the call.
“You’ve forgotten me, but I haven’t, and I will wait for you to remember p>
“Veronica I was at a loss for words.
