Forceful Marriage: Young Master's Mute Wife นิยาย บท 28

Joe stayed behind him quietly, not daring to say a word.

“Tell the director of human resources to search for a new project director. Replace him as soon as possible. The Fergusons doesn't want people who can’t make progress.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Get me my car keys.”

“Huh?” Joe was surprised because he did not know what was going on.

Blake paused his steps and looked at him coldly. “I said get me my car keys. Do you want me to repeat myself?”

“Y-yes, sir.” Joe dared not disobey the tyrant. He got the order and quickly headed to the office to grab the car keys.

‘What kinda tip is this, big sister? Am I really going to get a double bonus this season?’

Blake started the car and drove home. When he arrived home, Ms. Susan was cleaning the house with the vacuum cleaner.

Blake never liked noises in the house and Ms. Susan knew that. When he came back, she noticed that he was in a bad mood, so she quickly switched the vacuum cleaner off.

He went around the house and then returned to the living room.

“Where’s Jessica?”

“Ma’am said she’s going to a barbeque party with her colleagues to celebrate the prize that she received for the play.”

Blake frowned. “Did she bring Winson along?”

“No. Ma’am actually wanted to bring little Winson along, but before she went out, Lady Cecilia came and took him out,” Ms. Susan said honestly.

She did not hope to take Winson away. All she hoped for was frequent meetings with her son. However, she still wanted to have her own child under her custody. That was the reason why she was afraid that she could not give birth anymore.

As Blake’s invisible wife, the pressure was huge. The big bag of medication might be able to regulate her condition, but what if she got pregnant after she felt better? After all, she did not get her body checked because she wanted to have a second baby!

As her mind continued to drift away, she accidentally brushed a little too much butter on the corn, and it dripped into the burning coal, causing little sparks of ember to fly out from the grill.

“Be careful!” Dean pulled Jessica away strongly, but his tug was a bit too forceful, causing her to fall into his arms.

He looked at her and then at the grill. The ember had somehow roasted the corns black. Fortunately, he had pulled her away just in time. Otherwise, the burst of ember might have burned her hand.

He peered at the frightened Jessica in his arms. “Are you alright?”

Jessica gulped nervously as she stared at the roasted corn and shook her head. She realized that she was a little too close to Dean, so she quickly took a step back and signed, “I’m fine. Thanks.”
