83. Visiting Mother in Law’s House
Jessie quickly pulled her back, “It’s not like that.”
“If it’s not like that, then what is it? You and her son are together. Don’t tell me they don’t want to admit it?” Pulling open the closet, Sally took out all of her and Jessie’s clothes and placed them in front of Jessie to gesticulate.
Jessie hugged all the clothes that she handed over and sat down on the bed. She lowered her head and fondled the buttons on her clothes and her eyebrows lightly knitted, “I can feel that he seems to be very concerned about the marriage between Mike and me.”
“What did he say?”
Jessie remembered his appearance in St. Jin’s Garden that day and her thin brows knitted even more tightly. “He did not say it clearly. Sometimes I inadvertently mention it. He got angry. You don’t know how scary he was. But that matter can’t be erased. I know… It’s normal for him to care about that, and I think about him and his ex-wife from time to time.
y curious, and sometimes I think it’s like a thorn. That was why he was angry about the previous marriage between Mike and me. I can understand. But I was worried that w e were together because of the children. Can we really go on for a long time?”
Sally sat beside her and thought for a while before asking seriously, “Let me ask you, in your heart, is it really just because of the child that you are with him? You are not moved? Not when you miss him? Also, did you hate him when you shared a bed with him? Did you resist him?”
Jessie was stumped by her question.
Had she ever been tempted?
Scenes involuntarily flashed through her mind.
At the banquet, he carried her down the stage in a sorry state. When he was in Nanchuan, he helped his grandfather and grandmother deal with the matter of the fruit garden.
In the middle of the night, he carried her mother on his back.
When such a noble person bent down to do these things, even a stone-hearted person would b
e tempted, let alone her.
But when she thought about that night in St. Jin’s Garden, she couldn’t help but have the thought of retreating
Sally shook her hand, “Think about it carefully. After all, if you choose to be with him, There will be a lot of thorns in front of you. If you are not even sure of your own heart… How can you work hand in hand with him? Boss Alex might also think the same. A man like him has
always been arrogant. You have to be disloyal to him. No matter how much he likes you, I don’t think he will force you.”
Sally’s words made Jessie feel emotional.
But in the end, she changed into a lake blue dress. She wore a white coat and light makeup. Her long hair was tied into a neat ponytail and she looked youthful and dignified. According t o Sally, this kind of style was the most pleasing to the elders because every time her mother forced her to go on blind dates, she always had this kind of image.
When they reached the coffee shop, Grandma Restall pulled Grandpa Rudolf to drink coffee, but Grandpa Rudolf did not go. Grandma Restall unhappily patted his shoulder. She got off the car and went to sit by the window of the coffee shop. She ordered a cappuccino and kept staring at the road outside.
Seeing Jessie coming out of the taxi across the street, Grandma Restall quickly got up and ran out.
She went into her Audi and pushed and patted Grandpa Rudolf to get out of the car.
“Didn’t we agree that there was nothing for me to do? You old hag, what are you doing again?” Grandpa Rudolf was furious.
Grandma Restall was extremely anxious. “Quickly go down and pretend to have fallen. You have to pretend to be a bit more like a half-dead person. That’s the best!”
“Pretending? Still half-dead? What face do you want me to have? I won’t do it!” Grandpa Rudolf held the door handle and refused to go down.
“Please! That girl was really good. She is too reserved and cautious. If we don’t do this, how can we lie to her and let her eat at our house? How can we let her meet Alex? This is a great deed to help your son get rid of as a single person. Go, old master!” Grandma Restall used her two hands to push him.
Grandpa Rudolf was determined to not do it. “You can pretend to fall!”
She did not care about his face at all!
Grandma Restall’s face stiffened. “You don’t want to do it?”
“No! No matter what you say, I won’t do it!”
“Alright, you’re not allowed to sleep in my bed tonight!” Grandma Restall angrily threatened,” Not only tonight, you are also not allowed to sleep in my bed in the future! Damn old man, go and sleep in the guest room alone!”
Grandpa Rudolf was speechless.
A few seconds later, he admitted defeat and went to open the door. “I’ll be responsible for the fall, I won’t say any lines!”
Law’s House
Grandma Restall’s anger turned into a smile. She hugged Grandpa Rudolf’s neck and kissed him heavily on the face. “Don’t worry, old man. I like you!”
“Stay away from me!” Grandpa Rudolf looked disgusted.
He closed his eyes and opened the door. He looked like he was ready to die.
He looked in the direction Jessie came from and fell to the ground. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Grandma Restall saw his fake fall and could not help but cover her face.
This acting was simply too lousy!
Jessie was looking for the coffee shop Grandma Restall talked about when she heard a bangi n front of her and a figure fell to the ground not far away from her feet.
She was shocked in her heart and she could not help but walk over.
She saw that it was an old man who was well-dressed and seemed somewhat familiar. She didn’t know how he fell, but he didn’t faint. He just lay there with his eyes wide open and didn’t move.
She remembered the news more than once about old people blackmailing. She bent down and asked, “Sir, are you alright?”
Grandpa Rudolf looked up and saw her. He also felt that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
However, he could not remember at once. As he was thinking about it, he did not bother to reply to her.
Jessie saw that he did not speak and did not seem to be in pain. She thought that she might have really encountered a blackmailer. She asked probingly, “Sir, I don’t have a job or money right now. Can I help you up?”
Grandpa Rudolf was speechless.
Damn, did she think that he was a blackmailer?!
This little girl was quite clean and quick-witted, but her eyes were truly not good. He also did not know why his wife liked her! He stretched out his hand in annoyance. “Help me up!”
Jessie was still a little hesitant when a familiar voice sounded in front of her, “Old man, why did you fall when you were fine? There was a problem with your lumbar disc to begin with. Can you still walk after this fall?”
Grandpa Rudolf was speechless.
He had lived for a long time. He had never had a lumbar disc protruding from his waist before.
Jessie looked up and saw Grandma Restall.
After that, she remembered. No wonder she felt that the old man in front of her was familiar. She never thought that he was the one she had seen at the entrance of the Laurent family’s old residence.
Laurent Residence.
After getting out of the taxi, Grandma Restall and Jessie helped Grandpa Rudolf, who had a problem with his waist plate and had a face as dark as coal, out.
Grandma Restall repeatedly thanked him, “It is fortunate that you are here today, little girl. Otherwise, I would not have been able to get my old man back by myself.”
“You are welcome.” Jessie smiled. She felt guilty and panicked when she was with them. “I will give you the clothes. I will go back first.”
Grandma Restall did not even support Grandpa Rudolf and reached out to pull her. “Don’t you want to help me to take him in? That won’t do. I’m old, and my old man is too heavy. How can I support him? Little girl, do your best. Help me to take him in!”
“That… ” It was not that Jessie did not want to help, but…
Grandpa Rudolf saw that she was stuttering and was not straightforward, and his tone sank. “I f you can’t do it, then forget it. How many young people can you count on these days?”
His words made Jessie’s face turn red because she had just regarded him as a blackmailer.
Jessie thought that Alex would not be here at this point, so she reached out to support him again. “Alright, I will help you in.”
Grandma Restall secretly gave her husband a thumbs up.
Grandpa Rudolf snorted and continued to pretend to be uncomfortable as he walked in.
Just as he entered the courtyard, Nanny Lisa ran over to help and was immediately stopped b y Grandma Restall, “Nanny Lisa, go and prepare lunch. There are guests at home!”
Jessie wanted to escape but it was too late.
After sending Grandpa Rudolf into the bedroom, Grandma Restall said that she should go and get some clothes for Jessie and let her wait in the living room of the main room.
Not long later. Grandma Restall’s figure disappeared.
This house was very big and Jessie did not want to leave without saying goodbye.
As she sat on the sofa, a maid immediately came over to pour tea for her. Her attitude was polite and amiable.
Grandma Restall poked her head out from the study and saw Jessie sitting there obediently waiting. She smiled and gently closed the door. She picked up her phone to dial Alex’s
number and cried out, “Alex, your father fell and his waist disc protruded. Quickly come back!
Alex had just finished meeting a foreign client team in the meeting room and was walking towards the office when he heard her sobbing voice and smiled speechlessly. “You changed your approach this time? Do you need me to call an ambulance?”
“Is this the attitude of a son when he hears that his parents are in trouble?” Grandma Restall could tell from his tone that he did not believe her. She did not have a good temperament and asked, “This time it is true. Now, he is already lying at home. Come back and take a look!”
“Okay. I’ll be there in the afternoon. I still need to see the client. I’m hanging up.” How could Alex not know what she was thinking and replied casually.
“Hey, wait a minute! The girl is waiting at home right now!” Grandma Restall was anxious and blurted out the matter of the blind date. “Alex, I promise this will be the last time. This time, the girl is really different. I guarantee that you will like her. She is the girl I met the last time I picked up the three of you at the airport. Didn’t you complain about the color of my dress? That dress is hers. I’ve invited her to my house now.”
Before she finished speaking, Alex had already hung up the phone.
Grandma Restall was stunned. After a while, she gritted her teeth angrily. “No wonder your dad kept scolding you. You actually hung up on me! Are you coming back or not? You didn’t even tell me an accurate news!”
Jessie picked up the tea and sat for a while. A girl’s lovely and coy voice sounded at the door.” It’s so good that the two of us are eating together outside. Why do you have to come to my grandma’s place to eat?”
“You also said that this is your grandpa’s and grandma’s house. When we have time, of course we have to come and accompany the old man.”
The man’s voice shocked Jessie. She turned her head and looked at the door.
Mike, dressed in a silver-gray suit, walked in with a little girl in his arms. She was talking and laughing.
Jessie’s teacup fell to the ground and the cup broke into pieces.
The house was quiet to begin with. The shattering sound was like a thunder from a clear sky, deafening everyone.
