Chapter 11
“I wonder if it was ED or something went wrong during his puberty. If it’s ED, then he can still get it treated but if it’s something wrong with his growth, then it’s a pity. Can you imagine a handsome man having the junk of a kid?”
Jeanne adjusted her breath and forced a smile on her face. “What do I remember? As far as I recall, Fourth Master Swan and I aren’t even acquaintances. I just don’t want you to be misunderstood by those girls.”
“I did! I can’t describe his handsomeness with words anymore! I’ve never thought a man could be as handsome as him. If I didn’t see him with my own eyes, I won’t even believe it.”
Jeanne carefully picked her sweets. She had her eyes on a cream cheesecake and when she extended her hands to take it, a man came in and snatched the cake before her.
“Jeanne! Don’t challenge my patience! Be grateful that I agreed to marry you so stop trying to act innocent in front of me!” Thedus reacted to her words bitterly.
Jeanne watched the girls run. She wanted to follow but George was still in the men’s room. She was forced to stay back and locked eyes with Fourth Master Swan.
George was still growing and he skipped dinner because they had to attend this charity ball. Therefore, Jeanne picked all the cakes with cream for him.
George had a look at the chatty women. He had a youthful look of a six-year-old but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes that did not match his age.
“Come find me when you’re done! And keep your arrogance away! Someone like you doesn’t have the right to be arrogant!” Thedus then left angrily.
One of them lowered her voice and said, “But have you heard about his physical condition? He’s so handsome but there are no women around him.”
There was no emotion on his face when he asked the question but due to his prestigious status, his presence alone was pressuring and revered.
Fourth Master Swan laughed. The way he laughed could capture the hearts of all the girls in the world and yet it struck fear in Jeanne.
“I supposed a handsome man like him should be at least, you know, workable?” Jeanne tried to make her words sound less ridiculous.
The two of them walked to the garden, where the bathroom was. George went into the men’s room and Jeanne waited for him outside.
Thedus looked askance at George. “Why did you bring him here? Know your place. Your son shouldn’t be here to embarrass me!”
As far as he remembered, Jeanne was never this calm or cold. Something must have happened that changed her from the inside.
