Thank you." Valentina said as Jason laid her on the bed.
"You\'re welcome!" Jason replied.
"Here... Have your lunch." Margaret said as she forwarded Valentina\'s lunch that she left off.
"Umm... Can you make me something else to eat?" Valentina asked.
"Come one, Val... I know you want to eat what your mom made for you. Drop your attitude and ego and eat your tummy full first!" Margaret said making Valentina nod her has.
"Jason, have your lunch too." Margaret said and they all sat down and started eating.
"Are you feeling alright now, Val? Or let\'s go to the hospital and get a check-up?" Margaret asked and Valentina shook her head in no.
"No... I am totally fine. Don\'t worry about me. It just stress, Aunt Margaret." Valentina answered.
"Are you sure you are alright?" Jason asked.
"Huff! You... Yes! I am alright!" Valentina answered.
"You worry about me more than I worry about myself." Valentina added making Margaret look at Jason.
"Of course, he cares about you. He can\'t see you sick!" Margaret said making Jason look at her. Margaret smiled sheepishly making Jason roll his eyes.
"Alright... So... I was thinking..." Margaret said getting Valentina and Jason\'s attention.
"You thinking?" Jason asked.
"Umm... As Valentina is so stressed in her business. She needs a break!" Margaret said making Jason frown.
"Break? Huh? Mom, do you really think this woman over there will take a break?" Jason asked making Margaret smile and Valentina rolls her eyes.
"Like you take a break from your business?" Valentina asked.
"Well... I do take breaks. I am not a workaholic like you!" Jason answered.
"Really? Tell me when was the last time you took a break from the business?" Valentine asked.
"Umm... Ummm... Recently!" Jason answered.
"Yes, that recent is when?" Valentina asked.
"Umm... Umm..." Jason stuttered.
"A year back, stupid!" Valentina said making Margaret look at her surprisingly.
"Woah... A year back? So, my son does take breaks." Margaret replied.
"Aish... Don\'t make fun of me. Yes, I don\'t take breaks. But I used to... Mom, you know right that competing with her is so damn hard!" Jason said making Margaret laugh out loud and Valentina smiled sheepishly.
"You are really a kid." Valentina said as she laughed.
"What? A kid? Who are you calling a kid here?" Jason asked.
"Of course, you!" Valentina answered making Jason groan.
"Shut up! Don\'t call me that! I am a man." Jason said.
"Yeah... A man!" Valentina replied making Margaret chuckle.
"Alright, you both are kids!" Margaret said making them both look at her.
"I am not a kid." Valentina and Jason said at a time making Margaret laugh out loud.
"Alright... You are not!" Margaret replied making Valentina and Jason sigh.
"Yes... But you were telling something?" Jason asked Margaret.
"Umm... Yeah... Why don\'t you both take a break from your business?" Margaret asked.
"Both?" Valentina asked and Margaret nodded making Jason raise his eyebrows at Margaret because Jason clearly has an idea what his mother is trying to do and going to do.
"Yes, Love. Look at my son... He took a break a year back and until now, he is stressing himself from his business! I don\'t want him to go mad looking after the business because I want him to enjoy life! I want him to see how beautiful the life is and can be and not to bury his face in his damn work daily! You know, Elijah was like Jason too... Always work and work but after he married me... He stopped working overtime and started coming home early just because I am alone at home. We used to spend the evenings together and used to talk all about his business." Margaret said.
"Ohh... Then marry him off to, Aunt Margaret. He will come home daily early for his wife and will spend his evenings with his wife... He will not stress himself anymore because his stressbuster will be his wife!" Valentina replied with a smirk looking at Jason.
"Of course, I will... I just need to find a girl like you who is so kind at her heart as well as that attitude!" Margaret said making Valentina and Jason look at her with a surprised face. Valentina was so shocked to hear that from Margaret but she didn\'t get what Margaret mean clearly.
"Umm... He likes someone, Aunt Margaret." Valentina tried to change the topic.
"I know..." Margaret replied.
"Huh? What? Do you know?" Valentina asked.
"Yes. I do! I do know her!" Margaret replied.
"Oh my goodness! Tell me who is she? I asked your son but he is not at all ready to tell me!" Valentina said making Margaret chuckle and Jason looked at her with a worried face.
"Umm... Ask him?" Margaret asked.
"He is not at all telling me... Please... Tell me. Who is she? I so wish, it\'s not Rose Morton." Valentina said.
"Huh? No... I will never accept that bitch... She is not the one that Jason loves." Margaret replied.
"What? Love?" Valentina asked.
"I thought he likes someone... But he loves her too?" Valentine asked.
"Umm... He does!" Margaret answered.
"Oh my God! I can\'t believe this! She might be so lucky! Jason, who is she?" Valentina asked with so much excitement.
"Umm..." Jason stuttered as he scratched the back of his neck nervously.
"Not now... I will tell you about her later when she accepts my love!" Jason said.
"That\'s not fair! You didn\'t at all tell me you love someone and now, you are telling me you will tell everything when she accepts your love? Freaking hell, who will not love you? You are everything a girl wants! You are one of the amazing guys I know!" Valentina said with excitement in her voice.
"You!" Jason replied making Valentina frown.
"Huh? Wh... What?" Valentina stuttered.
"I mean... You need to calm down!" Jason said.
"Ohh..." Valentina replied as she sighed.
"But I want to meet her." Valentina said and Jason shook his head.
"Not right now! You will know everything about her when the time comes!" Jason replied.
"Alright... Fine!" Valentina said.
"Aunt Margaret, you are not telling me who she is too?" Valentina asked.
"Well... I can\'t! As Jason said, you will know everything about her when the time comes!" Margaret answered making Valentina sigh.
"Fine." Valentina replied!
"But you will tell me who she is right?" Valentina asked.
"I will for sure!" Jason answered making Valentina nod her head.
"Alright... I will wait until then for you!" Valentina said making Jason nod his head with a smile.
"Good!" Jason replied.
"Alright... So what about the holiday? Are you going?" Margaret asked and Jason looked at Valentina.
"Why are you looking at me?" Valentina asked.
"Do you want to go on a holiday?" Jason asked.
"I would love too but my work..." Valentina answered as she sighed.
"Your work will not affect your holiday! Don\'t worry! It just for a few days... Maybe around 10 days." Margaret said.
"What?" Valentina and Jason yelled at a time making Margaret flinch.
"Ohhh... Jesus... You both scared the shit out of me!" Margaret said making Valentina laugh.
"Sorry, Aunt Margaret!" Valentina replied and she nodded her head.
"It\'s alright... Don\'t scare me again like that..." Margaret said as she sighed and Valentina nodded her head.
"Alright... But mom for 10 freaking days?" Jason asked and Margaret nodded her head.
"Yes... You both need a long break!" Margaret answered making Jason sigh.
"That\'s not going to happen..." Jason said but Margaret hit her head making him look at Margaret.
"Ouch..." Jason said.
"Shut up... Don\'t say it will not happen!" Margaret replied.
"Fine... But where we will go for 10 days?" Jason asked.
"Umm... To our home?" Margaret asked.
"Huh?" Jason asked.
"I know you both so well... If you both go together somewhere alone... You both grab your laptops and start working... So, let\'s go to our home." Margaret answered.
"Mom, you know that you at talking about Los Angeles?" Jason asked and Margaret nodded.
"Yes... We have a farmhouse out of the city... We all can go there for a few days and enjoy ourselves there... I and Elijah will be there too! It will be so good to spend time with each other. And Valentina needs a family time... Even though, she doesn\'t tell it out... I know that she is craving to get the family love and a peaceful family spending time!" Margaret said making Valentina smile.
"You know me so well!" Valentina replied as tears rolled in Valentina\'s eyes. Margaret got up from th couch and walked towards Valentina.
"Of course, I do. As I said, you are so precious to me." Margaret said as she hugged Valentina.
"I don\'t know about him but I am taking a holiday to LA!" Valentina replied.
"That\'s like my girl!" Margaret said as she kissed Valentina\'s forehead making Valentina smile brightly.
"Woah... I am coming too! How can you spend time with my family without me?" Jason asked.
"Shut up... We are her family too. We are her parents too!" Margaret answered.
"Yeah... She is!" Jason replied as he got up from the couch and walked towards Valentina and sat beside her.
"This idiot should stop stressing herself from now!" Jason said making Valentina growl.
