Georgia hadn't considered that. Ever since she'd gotten back together with her mother, she'd acknowledged Aston and Emilia as her cousins.
As for the others of the Powell family, the siblings hadn't brough it up, and neither had her mother, so Georgia naturally wasn't cognizant of that.
She only just remembered that, right, her mother had other relatives.
And she hadn't seen Emilia's parents and the other Powells yet.
"We'll see what my mother thinks. I feel like the Powell family has a lot of complicated internal relations. You know that Aston's separated himself from them, and Emilia doesn't seem to look too warmly upon her family, either. I don't know what's going on behind the doors, and I'm not a Powell anymore, anyway. If my mother cares for the Powells, we'll see how we should interact with the family."
Robert heard that, but made a decision.
After all, it was Georgia's family, so the Powells bore investigation in case they presented a threat to him and Georgia.
The two finally went to sleep with Annie in the middle.
Annie was quite excited, and talked with her Daddy for a while, then her Mommy next.
She went between the two of them chatting until she finally fell asleep, tired.
Robert and Georgia looked at each other, smiled, then closed their eyes and went to sleep themselves.
The following morning, Annie slept in, she didn't wake up as early as she usually did.
Georgia and Robert, though, got up early.
The two sneaked out of the bedroom quietly so as to let Annie sleep.
"I'm going to take my mother and Wesley back today."
After they washed, Robert said that to Georgia.
"I'd been planning on taking them back yesterday, but then there were delays. So I'm going personally to pick them up today.
"Georgia, I'm not sure how my Mom is right now. She's sober on occasion. If her attitude is still bad to you when she comes, I'll put my mother in her original house, and go visit often. I'll deal with this, and I won't let you get hurt.
"As for Wesley, I don't know how things are between you two. You said there weren't any problems between you two when you took him back last time, so this time, let's take him back to try and live with us. If, by then, you feel like you don't get along, I'll find some other way. No matter what it is, I'll go with your feelings."
Robert sounded a bit uneasy as he said that, and Georgia couldn't help but chuckle.
"What if I was an evil stepmother and decided to chase him out? What would you do then?"
"First, you're not that kind of person. Of course, it's a really hard thing to be a stepmother, so I won't force you. Just try to live together for starters. If you don't get along, I'll put him in a new place, and see him every day. There's no such thing as perfect in this world. I can only try my best to treat you all well and make you all a bit happier. But no matter what it is, I won't let you get hurt.
"So if my mother and Wesley come back, and you felt uncomfortable, or can't get used to it, I won't have them stay here all the time. I might as well just buy a house on the side and let them live there, so I can look over them every day all the same. That's a solution too."
At that, Georgia couldn't help but feel amused.
She walked up and kissed Robert on the cheek.
"You've had it hard. You've probably been conflicted over this for a long time, haven't you? My attitude is just as I've said before. I won't mind.
"It's what happened before we fell in love. Just like how I have an ex-boyfriend. The past can't be changed. If I fought with you over this, it's our bond that going to be hurt in the end. It's your mother, so you can resolve the business with her your way. If she really does hate me when she's sober, then let's buy the house next to ours. No, let's buy it beforehand. Maybe there might be a need for it at the time.
"As for Wesley, he's always been a good kid. Annie likes him, too. I'll try my best to accept him as my own. For some reason, I get a really intimate feeling looking at him, so I don't think it should be a problem for me to be with him."
"Mrs. Simpson really does treat Mr. Simpson well. Mr. Simpson must thank Mrs. Simpson for her kindness."
With that, Robert walked up and gave Mrs. Simpson a kiss.
"Remember to always be thankful you married such a sweet and loving wife."
Georgia smiled and chatted with Robert as she escorted him out the door.
Before Robert got in the car, he suddenly turned and gave Georgia a hug.
Then another honeyed kiss.
It all happened right in the doorway. Georgia was getting embarrassed, but Robert didn't let him go, finally getting lingeringly in the car.
As the driver drove off, Robert took out his phone and gave Jason a call.
"Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"
Jason was having breakfast with Miranda.
He'd drunk too much last night, and, unable to control his impulses, had finally reached home base with Miranda, who was supposed to be his fake fiancé.
He was feeling awkward in the morning, but Miranda had already made him breakfast.
Jason couldn't quite describe his feelings right now, and with Robert calling, he took his phone and fled from Miranda's sight.
He walked alone to the balcony and took the call.
"While I was investigating what happened in the past, I found I'd bought an island before. In the documentation my secretary gave me, I discovered that you were the one who'd helped find someone to buy the island for me. I feel like you should know a lot about it. Did I start of planning to give the island to Georgia?"
"Yes. You were planning on making a huge castle fortress on the island, then building a private airport and making the island your honeymoon home with Georgia. Then your incident last year happened, and it's stopped. What, are you planning on restarting it?"
"I found from my secretary that all the planning and blueprints of the island are finished, and it's just waiting to start. Since you got in contact for me with this, I wanted to see if there's any documentation or plans left on your side. You know I still haven't recovered my memory. I'm planning on restarting the project, but if I'm missing anything, I want to hear it from you."
That made Jason laugh.
"You really are just a man who's completely absorbed in his love life right now, doing anything for your wife."
"When you marry a wife you love, you'll understand how I feel. Don't tease me. Haven't you already been engaged to that Bradley family's young lady? You'll be getting married in a year or two. By then, if you make your wife angry, you might be coming and begging me for guidance on how to appease your wife."
Jason instantly choked, but he still replied to Robert's original question.
"You've got a copy of the plans just as I have. I found the architect for you, and you know what Georgia likes, so you prepared all sorts of surprises for her in the design. Those designs were also from the designer I found for you, but you had your incident before they could be finished. That designer sent me some more surprising designs later on, though. Since you're restarting the project, I'll send you the designs. If you have anything else you want done, I'll have the designer help you with it."
"Then send me a copy. I want to confirm everything that's going to be built on the island. I want it all done before summer of next year, so by then I can take Georgia and Annie to the island for a holiday and give them a nice surprise. But you have to keep this secret. Don't even tell Jasper, in case he lets it slip."
"Relax, I still haven't told anyone about this. I'll keep it secret."
The two finished discussing the island plans, and Jason grew concerned.
"How's your body check results? I've been busy with my company for the past few days and couldn't go to visit Jasper at the hospital or ask about you. Now that you've called, tell me what's going on."
"The situation's a bit complicated. Anyway, my body might have some issues. The hospital reports couldn't show what problems they were, so Ivan's contacted an overseas expert and had me go to him for a check. I'll be heading out of the country next week.
"As for what's in the country, help me keep on eye on Jayson Mathis' tracks and see if he might reappear. As for the Simpsons, if there's any strange movements, call and notify me right away."
Jason couldn't help but laugh.
"What, those shameless lunkheads are still harassing you? Back then when you faked your death, those Simpsons all squabbled over your inheritance, and now they're still running their mouths before you?"
