Chapter 8 (part 3)

In the morning at the Harrison's house Jude and Victoria were having breakfast

and talking.

Jude:please don't insist

Victoria:but you had the permission of the sister

Jude:I don't care, I'm feeling good and I don't think that it's necessary that I stay here...I'm sorry but I'm not hungry any more

Jude left the table and Sadie came in.

Sadie:good morning mother

Victoria:good morning Sadie

Sadie:Jude woke up in bad mood?

Victoria:why you didn't talked to Jude?...you didn't tried to change her mind how I told you?

Sadie:yes, I tried but she's so stubborn

Victoria:she wants to go back to the convent this morning

Sadie:if this is what she wants what can we do mother...if you're ok with me I would like to wait some days before we go to the mansion

Victoria:why?

Sadie:I need some clothes...they told me that here is a shop that has many nice dresses

Victoria:but you brought so many clothes with you from the city



Sadie:yes but they are all too heavy...you don't want me to die of hotness eh?

Victoria:the problem is that we don't have much money

Sadie:but I can go to the mall and see if there I will find something cheap but nice what do you think?

Victoria:fine...I'm so worried about Jude...listen why don't we try to convince her to come to the mansion with us ...do you think that man Jamie Andrews will be interested in Jude?

Sadie:I don't know...maybe if she takes off that dress he can

At Tommy's boat Darius went to see Tommy.

Darius:good morning Tommy

Tommy:good morning to you

Darius:I see your preparing for another trip? You're leaving?

Tommy:yes

Darius:this soon you had just arrived?

Tommy:this trip is going to take long and if it goes good it will be the last one

Darius:(laughing) you always say that it's the last

Tommy:I have to stop one day

Darius:I wish...ok I came about the Angelica thing and I think I told you the best solution I can't have this responsibility and my servant doesn't have the authority to command her and if she runs away and something happen to her?

Tommy:I'm so sorry to take her to the convent



Darius:she will be fine...and after all in the convent there is the garden and even many other girls in her condition...she will have friends...I'm sure she will be fine

Tommy:ok, fine I care about that girl...you know how I knew her and what she did

Darius:yes, I know and it was a great gesture what you did for her...I always said it Tommy, you are generous but you're too stubborn

Tommy:yes, it true I'm stubborn but it's the only way to move on

Darius:but with some sense, want and heart you can pass many things

Tommy:it's the first time that I feel interest about something and that makes me want to change my life

Darius:an interest you said?

Tommy:yes a girl

Darius:I'm happy for you

Tommy:she's not like the others she is of a good family, she's shy of me but I like her so much and I think that maybe...I'm falling in love with her

Darius:(smiling) finally Tommy

Tommy:that's why I decided I need to change my life I will whatever in my power in this trip so everything will go how I planned I would like to settle down buy some land, a house and perhaps if all this happen I will ask you a favour to maintain your promise you once told me give me your name

Darius:I will do it with all the pleasure just say it...I know you so long and I see you as my son...you will be my son

Tommy:and as your son I will be

At the Harrison's house Victoria and Jude talking in the living room.

Carmen:yes, Miss

Jude:mother if Chris saw Sadie and he fell in love with her it was destiny and what god wanted

Victoria:yes, maybe

Jude:but you know how Sadie is self centred and immature take care of her and keep an eye on her and don't leave her to go out alone

Victoria:why, did something happen?

Jude:no, but now that she is engaged to Chris she has to be a good lady and not let people see her with persons she doesn't know that well

Victoria:I understand don't worry

Jude:now I have to go

Victoria:yes, come soon to see me and take care of yourself and don't get tired
