The Lost Son's Return Chapter 19
Josh was used to receiving that kind of treatment from almost everyone, so the fact that when he had introduced himself politely she had ignored and rolled her eyes disdainfully at him didn't surprise him, nor did it offend him in any way. Josh simply focused his attention somewhere else.Mrs Washington noticed her daughter's impolite attitude towards Liam, and she couldn't help feeling embarrassed by her. Leaning over to her she said in a whisper. “Lilith, what's wrong with you, why are you being so mean? He's simply introducing himself.” She whispered into Lilith's ears angrily.Lilith responded to her mother's reprimand with a disdainful eye roll, casting another glance towards Josh, who, engrossed in Antonio's conversation, remained focused on their discussion. She had no idea who he was, but she suspected that he was just one of Antonio's gangster friends.Around the same moment, Mr. Washington rose from his seat and signaled to Giovanni, he asked in an urgent tone, “Giovanni, ca

As Josh listened to their conversation, he couldn't help but wonder about who Vincenzo was. The name had been mentioned in the context of Lilith's marriage, and Josh's curiosity grew. Antonio had a nonchalant expression on his face as he looked over at the old couple and replied, "Actually, that's why we invited you here, we wanted to talk about that."Giovanni nodded, acknowledging Antonio's words. The air in the room seemed to shift slightly as everyone's attention focused on the impending discussion about Lilith and Vincenzo's marriage.Mrs. Washington, a hopeful look in her eyes, pressed further. "So, what do you think, Don Giovanni? When can we plan the wedding?"Giovanni, known for his calm attitude, leaned back in his chair, thinking about the matter. "Well, I hate to inform you, but Vincenzo isn't part of the family anymore.” Antonio nodded, his expression nonchalant and serious. “Yeah, a few weeks ago, we found out that he had been secretly working with our rival Mafia clan

Josh was taken aback when, out of nowhere, his grandfather suggested that he and Lilith should get married. Shocked by the unexpected proposal, Josh felt a wave of disbelief and discomfort. Marriage was nowhere on his agenda, especially considering he didn't know Lilith at all.The fact that his grandfather would make such a decision without consulting him first, made Josh feel hurt and unimportant. He felt like his grandfather didn't value his opinion or care about his feelings. It seemed to Josh that his grandfather was treating him as a tool to strengthen his own relationship with the Washington family. Josh couldn't help but feel bad about himself and his place in this new world he had just been thrown into. The suddenness of the announcement left him confused and struggling to understand the strange dynamics of his newfound family.Josh and Lilith shared a common feeling of disagreement with Giovanni's suggestion. Josh, was still a a university student, and he was just 20 years o

Mr. Washington's unease deepened and his entire family looked back at Giovanni with a mix of concern, anger and confusion in their faces, "Changed your mind? Giovanni, this is serious business; you can't just change the terms like that." Mrs Washington exclaimed.“Oh, my dear, but I can change the terms whenever I want.” He said nonchalantly, still seated back in his seat, his gaze drifted towards Mr Washington and he said, “Oh, by the way, Michelle, if I were you, I would do a good job, hiding the people who I do business with.” Mr Washington raised his eyebrows, surprised, wondering what Giovanni was going on about. “What do you mean? Why would I need to hide the people I do business with Giovanni? All my business especially are legal.” Antonio who had been quite the whole time, finally joined in, saying, “We are talking about you doing business with our rivals, the Santos family.” He said cold, his words sending a shiver down Mr Washington's spine. The revelation hit Mr. Washingt

The pressure was intense for the Washington family, fearing Giovanni's wrath for their dealings with his enemies.Mr. Washington, worried and understanding the deadly consequences he and his family might face for betraying Giovanni, knew he couldn't defy him, so he quickly agreed to Giovanni's demands. He knew that complying with Giovanni's wishes was essential for the safety of his family.Though internally conflicted and uneasy about the sudden arrangement of a marriage between Josh and Lilith, Mr. Washington recognized that he had no other choice. Hearing her dad and mom give in to Giovanni's demands, Lilith's frustration and displeasure was evident on her face, as she frowned, feeling a mixture of irritation and disappointment. The sudden agreement from her parents to her marriage without any consideration or discussion left her feeling neglected and disrespected. It seemed as though her desires and opinions were entirely ignored in this crucial decision, making worse her frustr

Josh felt a cold metal barrel tap into his back, sending a shiver down his spine. "Who is this?" he asked, his voice trembling with unease."Don't move," a female voice commanded from behind him, the gun pressing harder against his skin. Josh's heart pounded in his chest, his mind struggling to process the situation. What was going on? A woman? Here on the front porch of the mansion, holding a gun to his back?Strangely, despite the fear shooting through his veins, Josh couldn't shake off a strange sense of fascination. He liked the scent of the woman's perfume, as It was a scent that spoke of elegance and refinement, worlds away from the dangerous situation he was now faced with.The woman, questioned him with a gun still pointed at him, "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"Josh, still feeling the gun pressing down his neck, was wondering how he could get out of this situation as he answered. “I'm... I'm Josh." He replied, trying to get a glimpse of the person pointing a gun a

Surprised by the statement, Josh was puzzled. Who was this person calling him, and claiming to be his father? Perhaps it was a wrong number, he thought to himself. And it made sense that the person who had called him had dialed the wrong number, because Josh didn't have a dad as far as he knew. "Sorry, who's this? I think you've called the wrong person," Josh responded casually.“No, no, Josh, I think I've called the ring person.” The man over the phone insisted. “Your name is Josh, and you go to Elysium university,” The man said, eager to prove to Josh that he was his dad.Josh was taken aback by the fact that the man knew his name and had addressed him by it,,“How do you know my name?” “Do you believe me now?” The man asked.The man's insistence had Josh on edge. Sitting on the front porch, he held the phone to his ear, his mind racing. "I don't have a dad," he muttered, trying to make sense of the surreal conversation. He was a 100 percent sure that the man was lying, perhaps tryi

Instantly as Josh's classmate blurted out, while looking in the direction Josh was coming from, he attracted a lot of attention from the other students who had already arrived. They all turned in the same direction to see Josh. And the moment they laid eyes on him, Looks of surprise filtered out among the students, as they saw Josh, now dressed impeccably. It was very surprising to them, witnessing Josh, who was known to be the least affluent among them, now dressed in luxurious outfits.Their disbelief was evident. For as long as they could recall, Josh's attire had always been shabby, a reflection of his financial struggles. Therefore, seeing him adorned in such luxurious attire left them speechless, wondering how on earth he could afford such outfits.“Is that really, Josh?” “Yeah, that's him”"But what happened to him? He looks so different now," the students whispered among themselves, trying to fathom the sudden change in Josh's appearance.As they whispered among themselves,
