Female Novel
Chapter 169
Although Sylvia didn't know what Jenna wanted to do, she unconsciously became gentle with this girl,
saying, "Jenna, what do you want to say? Just take your time. It won't cost a lot. And your uncle can
absolutely afford the phone bills."
Jenna was amused by what Sylvia said, and then she was not so nervous.
Instead of stammering, she said, "I would like to invite you to sketch with me in the countryside. Is that
okay?"
Jenna was very surprised.
She finally said it!
She heaved a sigh of relief.
And her back was all sweaty.
She raised her hand and gave Aldo a mischievous smile, like a kid who was asking for praise.
Aldo couldn't help but raise his hand and rub the top of the girl's hair. "Good job."
Sylvia glanced at Kira, but she didn't want to refuse Jenna.
It took Jenna a lot of effort and courage to make this call, so Sylvia's refusal would definitely disappoint
Jenna.
"What's wrong?" Franklin raised an eyebrow at Sylvia. He had vaguely heard their conversation.
He knew Jenna liked Sylvia very much.
But he didn't know the reason.
"Jenna invited me to sketch with her. But I can't leave Grandma alone here." Sylvia was a bit hesitant.
Jenna was not unreasonable. Hearing Sylvia's words, she forced a smile and hurriedly said, "Miss
Andrews, it doesn't matter if you are not available."
"Sibbie, you don't have to worry about me. There are so many nurses here," Kira said with a smile, "It's
best to have Franklin with you. I will be relieved with him protecting you two girls."
Words failed Sylvia.
Franklin glanced at Kira with satisfaction. He did like this old woman. He would try his best to be good
to her in the future.
After all, he didn't want Sylvia to go alone and get close to Aldo, who was still single.
Aldo was completely unaware that he was seen as a love rival by Franklin.
In the face of Kira, Sylvia couldn't drive Franklin away.
She had no choice but to agree, not leaving until she instructed the caregiver in detail.
Jenna was dressing in the cloakroom.
With a wide smile on her face, she was over the moon.
"Aldo, do I look good in this?"
Jenna was wearing a white T-shirt with a pair of cropped trousers, which revealed her snow-white and
slender calves.
These highlighted her slender figure.
She looked perfect!
Seeing this, Aldo could not help but swallow.
"You look gorgeous."
"But I don't know if Miss Andrews will like this." Hearing what Aldo said, Jenna was a little shy.
Aldo was happy and a little jealous. Before Jenna met Sylvia, Jenna cared about nobody but him.
But now, Jenna liked Sylvia very much.
But thinking of Sylvia's patience with Jenna, Aldo was relieved again.
Fortunately, Sylvia was a woman rather than a man.
Otherwise, he would be very anxious and worried.
After Aldo and Jenna got out of the checkroom, Aldo held Jenna's hand as usual and went downstairs.
"Where are you going?" A shrill voice shocked Aldo.
Aldo looked towards the sofa in the living room, only to see a woman sitting on the sofa with her legs
crossed and a cup of tea in her hand, staring at them.
"Mom? What brings you here?" Aldo frowned.
"I don't think I need to tell you in advance before I come." Mrs. Carson impatiently glanced at Jenna,
who was a real pain in the ass for her.
Jenna timidly greeted Mrs. Carson, "Good day, madam."
She was afraid of Mrs. Carson.
Ever since she was adopted by Aldo, Mrs. Carson always gave her the cold shoulder.novelbin
Mrs. Carson rolled her eyes and ignored Jenna, saying to Aldo, "Zaire's daughter is back from abroad,
so I need you to invite her for a meal tomorrow and show her around Larro."
"Mom, I haven't seen her for over ten years, and I don't want to entertain her." Aldo was a little
annoyed.
"You are twenty-eight years old and not young anymore. Alex could even walk when your brother was
as old as you. Now, Alex is twelve, but you're still single!" Mrs. Carson stood up from the sofa in anger.
"You must do as I say tomorrow! It took me a lot to get this opportunity for you. The Chan family
enjoyed a higher status in Larro, so its daughter deserves you!"
Mrs. Carson even wanted to point at Jenna and asked Aldo whether he kept single for Jenna.
But Mrs. Carson didn't do so.
She didn't like Jenna at all, but she couldn't show this before Aldo.
Jenna, without a powerful background, would be a burden to Aldo.
Jenna grew increasingly beautiful these years and no man could resist her charm.
However, she was ill, and she was even absent from school. Mrs. Carson didn't want such a daughter-
in-law. That was too shameful.
Only the girls with a noble background could marry into the Carson family.
And Jenna could only serve Aldo as a maid.
Nonetheless, Aldo favored nobody but Jenna. At first, Mrs. Carson didn't care about it.
However, Aldo was even unwilling to get married.
Mrs. Carson was angry, anxious, and worried.
And Jenna became an eyesore.
If Jenna had no disease and was well-educated, Mrs. Carson would put up with Jenna's being her
daughter-in-law.
However, that was impossible. Jenna was just a homeless girl.
Mrs. Carson would never accept her.
Therefore, Mrs. Carson made up her mind to separate Aldo and Jenna.
As long as Jenna was here, it would be impossible for Aldo to get married.
Mrs. Carson knew she must drive Jenna out.
"Mom, Jenna has a show at the National Day gala of the city government, so I have to accompany her
to attend the rehearsal tomorrow. This is the first rehearsal, so it is very important. I must go with her."
Aldo directly refused Mrs. Carson.
Mrs. Carson was furious. "She's not a child anymore. You just go out with Miss Chan tomorrow, and I'll
accompany Jenna there."
Hearing this, Jenna got nervous and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Aldo's coat.
Seeing this, Mrs. Carson became even more furious, "I'm not a monster. I won't do anything to her."
"Mom, Jenna trusts nobody but me." Aldo said decisively, "You'd better find another man to entertain
Miss Chan."
