Chapter 883 He Will Complete The Mission
After staring at herself in the mirror for quite a long time, Geraldine still felt a little uncertain and asked,“What do you think of my outfit, Jenny? Does it look good?”
Jennifer, who had on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, nodded at her and replied, “Yes, it does. Donaldhas already come downstairs, so you guys should get a move on.”
“All right, Jenny.”
Geraldine then walked up to Donald and wrapped her arms around his.
As though his arm was shocked by electricity when her body pressed against it, Donald quickly pulledhis arm back and shot the woman a fierce glare. “What are you doing? Get away from me!”
Geraldine pouted and turned toward Jennifer as she said, “Look, Jenny! He yelled at me!”
“What's the meaning of this, Donald? Let her hold on to you!” Jennifer snapped at him angrily.
Not wanting Jennifer to ruin her health by getting angry, Donald gave in immediately.
“Darling, you... All right; I'll let her hold on to me right away, so please don't get angry!”
“Listen up, Donald! You need to resolve Geraldine's problem during your trip to the Harper residence,got it?” Jennifer asked with a stern look on her face.
“Understood! I will be sure to complete my mission!” Donald replied.
With a sense of satisfaction, Jennifer nodded. She then continued to discuss work-related matters withJane.
Because it was just Donald and Geraldine who would be heading over, he decided to drive an ordinary-looking Passat and headed straight to the Harper residence.
New Littbourg was not too far away from Pollerton, so it took them a little over three hours to get there.
Donald was about to get out of the car when Geraldine called out to him.
She then helped adjust his shirt collar as she spoke. “You're my boyfriend now, so you need to makeme look good, got it?”
“Yeah, I know. Don't worry.”
With Jennifer backing Geraldine up, Donald didn't dare mess with her the way he did with Hannah.
The two had just gotten out of the car when a middle-aged woman in an apron stepped out of thehouse to welcome them.
“You're back, Geraldine! And this must be Donald, right? Come on in! I'll help you with your luggage.”
The woman clearly used to be a very beautiful woman in her younger days, which was probably why
she still looked elegant and graceful despite her age.
However, she was dressed in rather shabby-looking clothes that did not match her gorgeous facialfeatures.
“Why are you wearing an apron, Mom?” Geraldine asked in surprise when she saw the way LeilaniJacoway was dressed.
“Your Uncle Norman is here, so we're cooking a lot of dishes for him. I wanted to help out in thekitchen, but I didn't want to dirty my other clothes, so I put on this old shirt and apron. Makes it easierfor me to get things done,” Leilani replied. novelbin
Geraldine felt her heart ache when she heard that.
Mom is considered an elder in this household, which has tons of housekeepers! Why aren't they theones doing the cooking? Why would they have Mom help out in the kitchen?
With that in mind, she said, “Take that apron off, Mom. From now on, don't do any more of thesechores. You won't have to serve them any longer!”
“What are you saying, Geraldine? I was helping out because I didn't have anything else to do at home!Besides, I'm not tired at all!” Leilani replied.
Even so, she eventually gave in to Geraldine's persistent request and took the apron off.
Geraldine then held Leilani's hand and led her into the living room of the Harper residence.
A bunch of people could be heard chatting away in the living room. Norman Habetz's voice was theloudest, and he seemed to be speaking boldly without any form of restraint whatsoever.
“As I said, having a daughter is way better than having a son! I mean, just look at Geraldine! The heir ofthe Downey family took a liking to her, so she can just sit back and enjoy a life of luxury, and you guyscan finally earn some respect in this household!”
