Jessica’s heart stirred. She knew that Alex was just joking, but her heart still wished for that to actuallyhappen.
She quickly shook her head to toss the demonic thought out of her. Jessica Saffin, keep it together!What the hell were you thinking about? Alex is married. Besides, he is an outstanding man so there’sno way he’d be into woman like you!
“Don’t worry. My mom is quite reasonable. She won’t badger us about it,” replied Jessica with a smile.
“Good,” commented Alex as he grinned.
The two of them walked into the front yard and immediately saw a middle–aged lady approachingthem.
“Hey, isn’t this Jessica? You’ve grown up to be a beautiful young lady. Oh, is this your boyfriend?”asked the middle–aged woman in surprise when she saw Alex standing beside Jessica..
“Yes, Denise. This is my boyfriend, Alex. He came to wish grandma a happy birthday. Alex, this isDenise,” said Jessica, who blushed a little. She quickly regained her composure, though, andintroduced everyone.
“Hello,” greeted Alex, who had met rich VIPs before but was still feeling anxious when in contact withthe legendary gossiping middle–aged women.
“Hi, Alex. Your accent is different. Are you from the North? What’s your family background? Oh, andare you working over there? Did you drive over or did you take the bus?” Denise began to fire a seriesof questions as if she was a machine gun.novelbin
Alex stepped back a little. Holy sh*t! We haven’t even made it past the front yard before theinterrogation began. The legends are true. Gossiping middle–aged women really are intense.
Alex was tempted to wipe the sweat forced out of his forehead.
“Haha, this is Alex’s first time here, so I better take him to greet grandma first, Denise,” said Jessica ina hurry before she dragged Alex into the house. Jessica was genuinely worried that Alex would fleeand abandon her if Denise kept firing her questions like that.
If that were to happen, then Jessica would lose her cannon fodder for the day.
“Ah, silly girl. I’m doing this for your own good, you know?” said Denise as she giggled.
Alex sighed a breath of relief when he finally made it into the house. That was when he saw anothermiddle–aged woman, who looked just like Jessica.
Alex recognized that middle–aged woman as Jessica’s mom. Unfortunately, the elderly lady wasunconscious when they met, so she didn’t recognize Alex.
When Alex saw how Jessica’s mother was staring at him, he became nervous once more.
To make matters worse, Jessica had reached out and held his hand at that exact moment.
“Didn’t you say that you’d be taking the day off? Why are you only…?” said the middle–aged womanbefore she trailed off, and her gaze zoomed in on the way the two of them were holding hands.Jessica’s mom, Kitty, stared so intently that her eyes were about to pop.
“Alex’s heart gripped. He wanted to retract his hand, but Jessica held on even tighter before he got tomove away.
“Mom, this is Alex. He is my boyfriend. I was waiting for him to clock off before heading over together,”answered Jessica calmly as she introduced Alex to her mother.
“Hello,” greeted Alex, who didn’t feel right to flee even when the situation had gone so out of control.He had no choice but to toughen up.
“Huh? Oh, you’re Jessica’s friend. Make yourself at home alright. Jessica, come here with me,” saidJessica’s mom, Kitty. After that, she grabbed Jessica’s arm then turned around to lead Jessica intoanother room.
“Wait here for a while, Alex,” said Jessica before she shot him a look and followed her mother.
