The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Five thousand

A look of fear sparked in Martha‘s eyes as she helped Dean tie his tie around his neck, and when she got done, she

whispered, “Honey, our daughter has suffered a lot.”

“What is that supposed to mean?!” Dean said, sounding quite annoyed at the sudden turn in the conversation.

Lowering her voice, even more, Martha continued, “Grace hit our daughter when she went to the motel yesterday. Melinda was quite devastated when she came to see me yesterday.” At his wife‘s words, Dean‘s brows knitted together into a tight frown as

he uttered coldly, “Is that so!?”

“I know Melina did wrong by marrying that man, but Grace doesn‘t have the right to discipline our daughter when you, her own father, have never raised a hand against her.” Martha said, looking up at him with watery eyes as she cried, “Do you understand what I‘m trying to say?” “I know what you are saying… Grace should worry about training her daughter and not mine. But since she has crossed the line, then I wouldn‘t have to hold back to teach Peach manners when the time comes. We all know that

that child needs some manly discipline to make her behave like a lady.” Smiling softly, Martha gently brushed her palms against her husband‘s coat and mumbled,” Thank

you, honey, for understanding… You‘re a good man.” A small frown crossed Butler Grey‘s face when he opened the front door because of a knock and saw Josh standing outside, looking at him with crazy eyes. “Good morning, sir Josh.” Butler Grey greeted him politely while trying to be mindful of him, because, like his sister, he had a very unruly temper. Walking past the old man, Josh stepped into the hallway, frowning slightly as he asked,” Where‘s my grandmother?!” “Well, Madam Jewel is having breakfast inside the dining room.” Butler Grey replied, closing the front door behind himself. Without uttering another word to the old man, Josh marched down the hallway and barged into the dining room. “Mom, dad, grandma!” Josh blurted out as he stared at Martha, Dean, and Madam Jewel seated at the table. “Good morning,” “Ahha, Josh, you are here. How are you, grandson?”

Madam Jewel greeted him with a smile on her face.

“I am great,” Josh explained excitedly, sitting down next to her.

“It‘s good that you are going with me to ‘Paz motel‘ honestly. It‘s been years since I

have seen those two, and the last time Alfred was taking his wife and daughter out of this house, Grace couldn‘t stop calling me names…” “Grandma,”

“I can‘t believe she said that I was a witch and I ruined her husband and her

daughter‘s livelihood… Haha… Did she think she is the only one with a motherly

heart? My children and grandchildren come first then anyone, and I would do anything to give them the best of life…”

Seeing how his mother clutched the glass of juice, Dean cleared his throat and said, “And we appreciate all the sacrifices that you have done for us to have this life, and we will do everything in our power to return the favor one day.”

“That one day is now because we can not allow Peach to slip out of our grip or it would be the end of this family!” Madam Jewel declared with a deep tone, staring at her grandson before lowering her gaze onto her son. The dining table immediately fell silent after that and only the sound of their breathing could be heard in the atmosphere. “James, I‘m glad you didn‘t burn something today!” Matt teased, slapping James on the shoulder, who was chuckled.

Frowning, James narrowed his eyes and said, “Shut up, Matt! Especially when you cleared your plate!”
