When Lawrence looked down at Jeffrey''s hand he was shocked. He did not even know how to react. He simply stretched out his hand and peered it with Jeffrey''s. He seems to have traveled ten years back.
The only difference was that Jeffrey''s hand was a little smaller back then. It was already ten years so the scar on Jeffrey''s hand seems to have faded a little. When lord Zorander saw this he got up to take a look.
Even lady Bridget hurried over, the first time she saw Jeffery she had felt very familiar but she did not think this was the reason. She had traveled so much that she thought she might have met someone who looked similar to Jeffery.
"Is this..." Lady Bridget could not finish her words. She was afraid she was dreaming. She had already missed her son for so long, she did not know that she will meet him again in this lifetime. After all, there was the possibility that he was already dead.
"yes, this is our son Jefferson," Lawrence said. It still felt like a dream to him. If he never marked the young man back then he wondered if there was going to be a chance that he would have recognized him.
If he was not sure that only he and his son were aware of this mark, he would have thought that this was some trick. This was not the first time he was meeting Jeffery he and his son had become strangers after all.
Lady Bridget could no longer stop herself she hugged Jeffrey and cried out her heart. Lord Zorander on the other hand was very happy. It seems that the bad luck that followed after the Zorander has finally left Lawrence since they moved out of the Zorander resident and cut ties with the family.
Lawrence just smiled, he was so happy that he could not react. Princess Ellen was surprised. She did not know much about Lawrence and his family, so she did not know they had a missing son since the family did not stay in Bozoa.
The world is a small big place, Jeffrey happens to be her cousin. She could not believe the scene that was playing in front of her.
Rose stood rooted, she knew she had an elder brother but she did not have much memory about him. She was still very young when he went missing. Moreover, that brother of hers always followed his father around.
While everyone celebrated, prince Sébastien fell into a dilemma. Although he was happy that Jeffery found his family, he knew that this will change a lot of things.
Jeffery was the only person apart from his mother that he could trust with his eyes closed. This had nothing to do with the oath. If Jeffrey''s family were not related to his sunshine then he would not have given them face, he would have taken Jeffery away.
Jeffrey on the other hand did not react, although he knew the woman hugging him was his mother, he could not explain how he felt. He already lost his memory about this family. So he was not sure how he felt about the situation.
It was only after a few minutes has passed that Bridget could bring herself to pull away from the hug. Jeffery was very grateful, maybe it is because he has been following the prince too long and he acted as his body doubler, he was not used to being hugged. In fact, he was feeling uncomfortable being so close to the face which belongs to his family but he was not familiar with them.
When Lady Bridget moved aside, Lawrence could not hold himself back from hugging him. He was so happy that he even laughed out. "I am glad you are safe," Lawrence said as he patted Jeffrey''s back.
Jeffrey nodded his head, he was also glad that his family was saved. He has also worried that they perished in the war. "Rose come great your brother," Lady Bridget said. She was unable to contain her joy.
"Big Brother," Rose said. Jeffrey nodded his head at Rose. It was at this point that Lady Bridget realized that she was yet to see her son''s face. She raised her hand o to remove the helmet that covered part of his face so she can take a look but Jeffrey stopped her.
"I am sorry but no one can know what my face looks like," Jeffery provides an explanation for his actions. Since he was acting as Prince Sébastien''s body doubler he could not allow people to know what he looks like.
When Lady Bridget heard him, she was shocked. She thought that perhaps he had a big scar on his face, this should be the only reason a person would want to hide his face.
"It does not matter what happened to your face I want to see it," Lady Bridget said. But Jeffrey still shook his head.
"My face is fine, nothing happened to it, it just that no one is allowed to see it. Since I am always with the prince, I only take off my face cover if I want to make a run for it. Nobody can trace the face back to me, when I stand with his highness," Jeffery could only offer this explanation.
There were only two of them who knew he sometimes appeared in place of prince Sébastien. When prince Sébastien heard Jeffrey''s reply he was very relieved. He did not have to look for a new body doubler.
When Lady Bridget heard this she felt even more wrong. She cast a glance at prince Sébastien and could not help but curse him in her heart. she felt that prince Sébastien did not allow does who work with him to show their face because he was a beast. ''How hateful'' she thought.
"mother, the only reason why I can still stand in front of you is because of his highness," Jeffery said in a hurry. He seems to be scared that the woman will say something to annoy the prince.
He knew for a fact that prince Sébastien had a bad tongue and his temper was not good either. This prince is only able to control his temper when it comes to his wife.
Even if Jeffery did not remember this family of his, he did not want them to get into trouble the first time they meet.
When Lady Bridget heard Jeffery she suddenly felt Embarrassed. She should be thankful to the prince. So what if she could not see his face at least he was fine.
"Thank you so much, your highness," Lady Bridget bowed her head. She could not help but think that the gods had allowed Princess Ellen to marry this prince so she could see her son again.
Even lord Zorander that felt dissatisfied with princess Ellen''s marriage to prince Sébastien suddenly felt it was fated.
"your highness our family owes you si much," Lawrence and lord Zorander said together.
Princess Sébastien shook his head, princess Ellen was family with these people so he did not think they needed to be so thankful to him.
Besides he has no plans of returning this son to them.
