*NINE*
Amelia ran toward Jaiden and embraced his torso, holding him as if he would disappear if she let go.
“I missed you so much,” she said, weeping. She removed her fedora and cascades of dark brown, wavy hair fell past her shoulders.
The woman, who was closer to him than Emma Daniels, was as beautiful as Jaiden remembered her to be. A little thinner and tired looking, but still lovely like Vivien Leigh in her prime.
Not knowing how to react, he patted Amelia’s shoulder. “I missed you too. What did you say before? Something about me being your son?”
Mina did a double take, staring at Jaiden and then at Amelia. Their eyes had the same shape. They had the same nose. Even Amelia’s lips, though plumper, also looked similar to Jaiden’s. In fact, they looked more like mother and child than Mina did with her mother.
Mixing the shade of blue of Amelia’s eyes and Jameson’s shade of darker blue, the end result would be Jaiden’s violet-blue eyes.
But this doesn’t mean she’s not a suspect!
“I mean I love you like you’re my son. That’s right,” Amelia said. “After all, I’ve watched you grow up.”
“I see. What are you doing here? Father said you had moved to Japan.”
Amelia’s eyes darkened at Jaiden’s mention of his father. She pressed her lips together. “For the past two years, I’ve lived in the city.”
“Why were you acting so suspiciously?” Mina asked, her arms crossed and her foot tapping. She didn’t want to interrupt this sweet moment, but the bodyguard in her couldn’t help herself.
“I… I’ll admit it. I was following Jaiden. I’ve been secretly staying in contact with Driver and had learned about the stalker’s attacks.” Amelia faced Jaiden. She touched his cheek. “I just wanted to watch over you and protect you.”
Either the woman is a cougar or she thinks Jaiden is her son. Otherwise, she’s being a bit too touchy feely. Mina scrutinized the woman-she was probably in her early forties, like Kaila. Or she’s really Jaiden’s mother. That would make things very soap-opera-ish.
“You don’t have to worry about me,” Jaiden said. “I’m worried about you though. Why don’t you come back and work for us again?”
Amelia shook her head. “No, dear, I’m retired now. I’m just happy to see you’re okay.” She smiled sweetly. “I should get going.”
Jaiden held onto Amelia’s thin wrist. “I’ll have Driver take you home.”
“I’ll be fine. You and your little friend here go ahead and continue with your date.”
“We’re not dating,” Mina and Jaiden said in unison.
Amelia grinned and waved her hand. “We’ll keep in touch, Jaiden.” With that, she walked away, leaving Jaiden staring at her back like a dejected puppy. His legs itched to run after her, but he knew Amelia would just push him away. Two years ago, she had left without saying goodbye.
But as long as she stayed in the Uptown, Jaiden knew he could easily find her. He would start by interrogating Driver.
“You two look related,” Mina blurted.
“Yes, people had always said that. My biological mother is a blond haired, green-eyed bitch.
