85. The Man’s Black and Shiny Leather Shoes Gradually Entered Her Eyes
Grandpa Rudolf coldly harrumphed at his son and didn’t respond to him. He walked into the kitchen with a straight face.
Grandma Restall comforted Jessie, “Don’t take old master’s words to heart. On top of that, he i s just a paper tiger. He only has a fierce mouth. Don’t be afraid.”
Only then did Jessie withdraw her gaze from Alex and forced a smile.
Although she had always refused to see his family, now that she saw him really pretend to not know her, She didn’t know why, but her heart seemed to be slightly pinched by something.
“Oh right, I haven’t asked you. What’s your name?” Grandma Restall held Jessie’s hand with a kind expression.
“Didn’t you already know?” When Alex’s low and magnetic voice sounded, Jessie’s heart tightened.
Grandma Restall blinked her eyes. “I don’t know. She hasn’t even told me. Right, little girl, you haven’t told me, right? I don’t have dementia, right?”
Alex looked at Jessie’s anxious look and felt angry in his heart. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
Jessie stared at him for a long time and saw that he finally did not have the intention to expose her. She turned to look at Grandma Restall and took the initiative to admit it, “Sorry, you did not ask and it is also my fault that I did not introduce myself. My name is Jessie.”
“Jess…”Grandma Restall was stunned for a moment and then laughed, “Very good, very good. This name of yours is very nice and easy to remember.”
Grandpa Rudolf sent another maid to call them out for dinner.
Jessie was dragged along by Grandma Restall and also followed into the kitchen.
Mike and Fifi were both stunned when they saw her.
“Why did she come to eat with us?” Fifi muttered discontentedly.
Mike looked at Grandma Restall’s intimacy with Jessie and her clear attitude of wanting Alex and Jessie to be together. Layers of haze rose in his heart, but in this kind of occasion, he did not dare to make any noise.
Fifi said in a low voice and he only lightly pulled her.
Fifi shook his hand away and snorted as she crossed her arms and looked coldly at Jessie.
Grandpa Rudolf’s heavy gaze swept over Jessie before landing on his wife, “Have a meal and
you are still dragging it out!”
“Don’t talk so much!” Grandma Restall rebuked him and pressed Jessie to the seat beside Alex. She used her eyes to signal for her son to take care of her.
Alex did not see her signal at all. He just took a plate and chopsticks for himself and poured himself a cup of wine.
Jessie was very uncomfortable. She was not willing to look at Mike opposite her and was also not used to sitting next to Laurent family. Her body was stiff as she sat on the chair.
No matter how innocent Fifi was, she could finally tell that her grandmother was helping her uncle to have a blind date with this strange woman.
Her small face wrinkled and she could not help but raise her voice, “Grandma, why did you let this woman sit with uncle? Didn’t you see that uncle doesn’t like her?”
Mike was afraid that she would offend someone. In the future, it would be difficult for her to even enter the Laurent family, so how could she get closer to them? He hurriedly picked up a piece of fish meat and placed it in her bowl. “Fifi, this is your favorite osmanthus fish. Quickly try it.”
Grandma Restall only treated Fifi as a child and did not take her words seriously. She only saw that her son was as stubborn as when he was on a blind date. She was so angry that her stomach hurt. When she passed by his back, she directly kicked his straight leg bone and gritted her teeth as she whispered. “You don’t understand when you take care of a lady? If you really don’t know how, learn from Fifi’s boyfriend!”
On the other side, Mike was wholeheartedly serving Fifi to eat. He prepared dishes and chopsticks for her and poured some drinks for her to pick fish bones. He did it personally as i f he was taking care of his own daughter.
On the opposite side, Mike’s hand movements stopped slightly and pretended to be joking. He smiled and said: “I am very ashamed that you praised me. Actually, can I say that I was forced?”
He originally wanted to ease the atmosphere on the table and also pull away some of the attention of those who admired him towards Jessie. He did not think that it would be of little
use.
Fifi raised her hand to pinch his arm and laughed coyly, “Did I force you? Why don’t you try saying one more sentence?”
Seeing the two of them flirting, Grandma Restall hated her son even more that he was not good enough. She simply sat on the other side and took the cup in front of Jessie. She forcefully stuffed it in front of
Alex and forced him to pour Jessie a drink.
Jessie wanted to get up and pour herself a drink.
Alex had already picked up the coconut juice that Grandma Restall handed over and
unscrewed the lid. He picked up the cup and filled it up and passed it to Jessie.
Jessie looked up and saw the man’s indifferent and cold eyes. Her heart palpitated and she stretched out her hand and was about to express her thanks.
When her finger was a few centimeters away from the cup, the man’s thin lips curled and he suddenly let go. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
A cup of drink created milky white water by Jessie’s feet, splashing her naked high heels and lake blue skirt.
Jessie subconsciously took a few steps back, but accidentally stepped on the broken glass.
The sharp glass broke through the bottom of the thin leather shoes and also pierced into the soles of her feet. A sharp pain came and she could not help but frown.
Grandma Restall slapped her son’s broad shoulders and said in a tone that was exasperated a ther failure to live up to expectations. “You! Serves you right to be single for the rest of your life!”
Everyone on the table saw clearly that Alex deliberately let go of his hand before he handed the drink to Jessie.
Grandma Restall only thought that he was not willing to go on a blind date, so she purposely did this to the girl.
But he was already so old, yet he still did things like how he cheated and fooled others when h e was young, and even in front of so many people. He wasn’t afraid that others would laugh at him for being childish!
“What are you still standing there for? Didn’t you see Miss Jessie get hurt? Hurry up and call the doctor!” Grandma Restall saw that Nanny Lisa, Zika and the rest were all stunned and could not help but raise her voice.
“It is not a big deal for me. There is no need to trouble on me.” Jessie bowed to Grandpa Rudolf who was sitting at the main seat, “Sorry old sir, I will go back first.”
“Jessie…”Grandma Restall still wanted to keep her, but Jessie had already walked out quickly.
Seeing that her skirt and leather shoes were stuck with drinks, Grandma Restall wanted to keep her and did not have the face anymore. She quickly got up and went to the room to get the sweater jacket that Jessie borrowed from her previously. She called Driver Bart and asked him to chase after her and return the clothes to Jessie before sending her back.
Grandpa Rudolf, under the table, swept his leg towards Alex. “Look at what you have done!”
Alex dodged nimbly. His expression was not much better than his parents’. He kicked the chair away and turned around to walk out.
“Where are you going?” Grandpa Rudolf roared angrily.
“The company!”
Grandpa Rudolf smashed his rice bowl against the wall and landed heavily on the ground.
The kitchen fell silent.
A few seconds later, Fifi threw her chopsticks on the table and complained. “It’s all that annoying woman’s fault. We were being polite and she really stayed. Did she think that by doing this, my uncle would be able to treat her well? She doesn’t know what she has either. She’s so disgusting!”
“Shut up and eat your food!” Grandpa Rudolf rarely got angry with this granddaughter of his. H e could not bear listening to her anymore.
Mike saw that Grandpa Rudolf was angry, so he smiled and said, “Elder Rudolf, Boss Alex must have made a mistake. Don’t be angry. Be careful not to hurt yourself.”
Grandpa Rudolf did not seem to hear what he said. He threw away his chopsticks with a sullen face, pushed away the chair, and walked away with his hands behind his back.
In an instant, only Mike and Fifi were left in the kitchen. Mike held the chopsticks and turned to look at Fifi. “Do you still want to eat?”
Fifi had just been scolded by Grandpa Rudolf and was filled with resentment. When he spoke, it was just right for her to vent her anger. She directly picked up a plate of fish meat that he had stabbed and threw it at him. She swung it at him. “What else do I want to eat? Do you think I am the reincarnation of a hungry ghost?”
A trace of coldness flashed through Mike’s eyes. He quickly suppressed it and used a tissue to wipe his face and the fish on his body. He even comforted her. “Alright, alright. If you don’t want to eat, then don’t eat. If you lose your temper, you will get wrinkles. Let’s not be angry, alright?”
“So annoying!”
“After that, you won’t get angry anymore.” Mike used his usual tricks and stuck his lips on hers.
Fifi was still angry and stared at him with slanted eyes. “Is this enough? You are also annoyed that you starting to be perfunctory with me now, right?”
Mike controlled his temper and continued to coax. “How could I hate you? It’s too late for me t o like you. How could I hate you? There are a lot of people here, let’s go back to our room first.”
Fifi willfully went up and reached out two hands to hook his neck. “I want you to kiss me here! And with the tongue!”
Before she finished speaking, Mike suddenly sealed her lips. He had long been impatient in his heart, so he decided to use kissing to vent his anger.
He never thought that this kind of abusing method would actually make Fifi like it even more.
He simply plucked up his courage and used the corner of his eye to stare at the kitchen’s entrance. As he continued to kiss, he even reached out his hand to her casual pants and skillfully touched her.
Driver Bart carried the clothes Grandma Restall gave him and quickly walked out of the courtyard.
Just as he was about to get on the car, Alex’s Bentley rushed over from the side and stopped a ta place next to Audi. The window rolled down and Alex said in a deep voice, “Give me the clothes!”
Driver Bart was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted. He attentively handed the clothes to him.
Alex threw the clothes back onto the passenger seat and the car sped away.
Driver Bart returned to the courtyard and Grandma Restall saw him. “You did not go to see Miss Jessie?”
“Sir went to see her off.” Driver Bart smiled.
“My son went to see her off?” Grandma Restall was shocked.
“Yes.”
Only then did Grandma Restall slightly ease the anger in her heart, “Stinking brat, at least he has some conscience!”
Jessie walked for a while and the place where her feet were pierced became more and more painful. She turned her head to look and saw that it was already some distance away from the house. She leaned against the courtyard wall that was filled with long vines and squatted down, taking off the leather shoes and socks on her left foot.
A lot of blood flowed out from the side of her toes. She took a tissue from her bag and wiped it off bit by bit. She then rummaged through the bandage in her bag.
She searched for a long time but still couldn’t find the band-aid. She stubbornly continued to search inside.
The more she searched, the more vexed she became.
Her current injury and everything that had happened to the Tianji Residence caused her resentment towards Alex to deepen.
She finally managed to calm herself down. She brushed her skirt and sat down on the grass, putting on her socks.
A black car stopped by the road in front of her. The man’s black and shiny leather shoes gradually entered her eyes.
The black leather shoes had a straight pair of pants on them.
From the familiar scent of perfume and tobacco on his body, she didn’t need to look up to know who it was.
