The next day early morning, Jessica, who used to get up late, was a little surprised to find Hurley was rubbing his eyes.
Since Hurley was a workaholic who left home early and came home late during weekdays, devoted to his work. Therefore, it was often for her to an empty bed as she woke up in the morning. Yet, today, he was still sleeping by her side.
Hurley rolled over and hugged her in his arms, “Get some more sleep.”
“Don’t you have to work today?” Jessica was curious.
“Yes, but I finished it ahead of time and only a little left, I’ll get it done later during overtime.” Hurley said lazily,” I could see that you are so curious about my family, I figure I shall simply take you home to let you see for yourself. However, the wedding ceremony has to postpone, your big belly doesn’t go well with the wedding dress. It is much more interesting to get marry holding the baby in your arms after you give birth to it.
How would it be interesting in any way at all?
Jessica thought to herself that people would laugh at her, thinking that she only marry him because she was pregnant with his child.
However, she was quite satisfied with his suggestion to take her to meet his grandfather.
She had been dressing up herself delicately since she woke up in the morning, wanted to leave a good impression to his grandpa. She knew that she had to be extra careful if she determined to go visit him.
Jessica even asked what his grandpa liked mindfully.
“He won’t feel good as he sees me and your efforts will go in vain. Why don’t you think about what I like and buy them for me?” His reply was just an attempt to brush her off.
According to him, he was the eldest son of the family, then he supposed to grow up under the love of his grandpa, how could …
Jessica gave it a deep thought while she was touching her chin. She finally asked solemnly, “Tell me the truth. When you were young, did you have a stubborn personality, being a playboy all day long and doing nothing but evil? Is that why he hates you so much? ”
Hurley shook his hand that holding the newspaper which he was reading, “If I am who you said I am, then you won’t be safe even you are carrying my child.”
It was a threat, an undisguised threat, and Jane did not dare to speak, she knew that she was now pregnant with his child indeed and he would be relatively considerate because of it. That said, sooner or later, the pregnancy would end. And by then…
She would never dare to forget Hurley’ temper.
As well as, the feather duster in the house, which she hated bitterly, and wanted to throw them all away, since out of sight, out of mind.
“Stop thinking nonsense, he doesn’t like me because I didn’t practice politics as the way he wanted.”
Hurley drove Jane back to grandpa’s place, and they were stopped dozens of times along the way. They drove up the hill on a track, the courtyard they were going was located on the top of the hill.
Many people were standing in front of the courtyard, and the leader among them came up to say a few words before letting the two in.
“I just heard someone call you Young Master.” Jane couldn’t help but laugh, “It did sound like you are a rich playboy.”
Hurley glanced at her and she kept her mouth shut immediately.
The two of them entered the courtyard and found that it was extremely large, with proper artificial scenery looking naturally. The rockery pebbles piled up, with bridges and water were flowing around, houses built in quaint and generous style.
Before they entered the mansion, they were stopped again, the guards came up to talk to them, and searched them again.
Hurley looked displeased, holding Jessica’s hand as he entered the mansion, “That’s why I said I hate to come back here – endless searching.”
Jessica didn’t dare to say anything, but silently thinking in her heart that Hurley’s voice was too loud. People inside the mansion would have heard him if they weren’t deaf.
“Bastard, no one made you or let you come back if you don’t like to, get out.” An old man’s voice sounded majestic came from the inside of the mansion. It was no doubt that he was the one in charge.
Hurley halted his footsteps with his eyebrows furrowed together deeply, holding back his anger despite he was extremely upset, apparently.
