Chapter 6
Jenifer was a woman with high EQ. She knew Alexander dared not lash out on Jeanne at this sensitive timing, so she said, “Alex, Jeanne’s right. When we talked to the Locke family, they already knew that she had a son. So, she might as well bring him along to meet the opposite, just take it as a preparation for the future.”
Jeanne was as feisty as ever and she was bold enough to go up against anyone. However, something was different about her. She was no longer the rash and impatient girl who disregarded consequences. Everything she said was infuriating but true, hence no one was able to pick on her mistakes.
Old Master Swan was a reputable figure in South Hampton and he had connections to both sides of the law. No other family dared to cross their path in South Hampton as they revered the Swan family. As the fourth son in the family, Edward took over his family business at the age of 29.
“If I were to go against you, I wouldn’t be here in the first place. Why are you so concerned? Are you afraid that the Locke family would say no to the wedding? I thought you guys mentioned that I have a son when you negotiated with them?”
Teddy, Edward’s attendant, who had been with him since he was young, thought he was seeing things when he saw Edward’s smile. It was not just a faint grin but a bright smile. A bright smile from the man who barely showed emotions.
“I heard you had a temper but let me make this straight. I see you had your portion of fun before and if it’s not because of your family, this wedding would never happen. So, don’t try to act like you deserve this.
Jeanne had a good look at her son. Due to his high IQ, he barely argued with people below his standards and yet Fourth Master Swan was able to make the boy dislike him. It was surprising and unusual.
Thedus added, “Don’t try to control me. It’s your honor to be able to call yourself Mrs. Locke. If I had a woman outside, don’t try to cause a scene with me. I don’t want all that nonsense, get it?”
Jeanne took George back to the room. She did not have the interest or the time to figure out their schemes. She knew better than anyone that those people down there were cold-blooded and merciless.
Back then, she used Jeanne’s temper and attitude to make her soft and tender side stand out so that others would sympathize with her and blame Jeanne’s personality.
Thedus was reluctant to accept the wedding proposal at first because regardless of what he did, he could not just accept a single mother to be his wife.
Her smile made Thedus’ heart race. However, no matter how beautiful she was, she had a child with her and it would lower his status for marrying her.
Thedus cut to the chase and said, “The wedding is next month. It’s a little rushed and I believe I need to tell you something before it happens.”
Her wavy hair, delicate face, voluptuous body, and everything about her made her an angel on Earth, except for the fact that she had a child.
Jenifer grinned though. No matter how smart Jeanne became, she was just a single mother being forced to marry a lowlife. Her life was over.
On the second day, Jeanne took her boy downstairs and ate like normal. They even had a walk in the front yard as if nothing had happened.
