Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage

Chapter 68 Gossip is a Fearful Thing

The last two conversations are as quick as if they have been arranged.

Jenny can not help laughing out loud.

“Well.”

She thinks of the time when she is forced to call him darling by her grandmother in front of the servant,

and immediately covers her face and rolls away laughing, trying not to laugh and says, “Well, I can't do

it.”

Luke sits on the bed, seeing her shoulders trembling. Then he can not help bending down to touch her

little head. And he comes closer and kisses her on the forehead.

“Close your eyes and have a sweet sleep.”

Although her hair covers her forehead, she can feel his kiss. She quietly grabs the corner of the quilt for

a long time and says nothing. Hearing the water sounds from the bathroom, she feels that her heart

beating faster.

The scent of his body is all over the sheets, and the faint tobacco mingles with the scent of a man's

perfume, as if it is the scent of sleep that drives her into a deep sleep.

In a daze, as if someone embraces her from behind and says some parting words as sweet as too

much. She sleeps very soundly, dreaming that she is standing on the stage of the Golden Bell award to

receive the award, and that people below are applauding.

It is a sweet dream.

Then she wakes up, and the sun fills the room. When she wakes up, Luke is not there. Later, she goes

to open the wardrobe, she finds a lot of clothes are missing.

“Ling,” She turns back to the servant who is making the bed, “where's your young master? Does he go

to work?”

Ling feels surprised and answers, “He doesn't talk to you last night?”

Jenny confuses.

“Young master flies to Beijing this morning, and he probably will be back in two days.”

Luke does not say to her before.

Why does Jenny feel disappointed?

Look at her disappointment, Ling thinks she makes a mistake and hurriedly explains, “Perhaps Young

master forgets to tell you. Anyway, he will come back after his mother's birthday.”

His mother’s birthday?

Luke’s mother, Mandy, is always call Mrs. Mandy.

Jenny looks up at Ling, unable to smile, “His mother’s birthday?”

Ling feels that she is making things worse, and hastily adds, “Don't think too much, madam. Young

Master never takes anyone with him to fly to Beijing for his mother’s birthday every year, nor does Mrs.

Lu. Young master has a bad relationship with his father, so he always goes back reluctantly, and only

once a year.”

Jenny waves her hand, indicating that Ling does not need to go on, “It's ok. And there is no need to

explain. Because I have only been here for more than a month, there is no reason to fly to Beijing with

Luke.”

Jenny feels lost probably because Luke's mother has a friendship with Yuky, and she wants to get

close to Lu's family. Now it seems that it is more difficult than before.

First of all, Luke has no intention of taking her to meet his parents.

Ling thinks that Jenny is angry, and she blames herself for saying the wrong words. She is thinking

about whether she should tell Mrs. Lu.

While having breakfast, Mrs. Lu asks Jenny some questions about the wedding.

What kind of wedding does she want? Is it Chinese style or Western style? Is it held in the indoor hotel

or on the outdoor lawn? Is there anyone in her family who needs to send invitations or something?

Jenny is obviously absent-minded and answers her questions casually with a nod, without any © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

substantive comments.

“By the way, there may be some problems with Luke’s parents,”

Hearing this, she suddenly comes to her senses and looks at Mrs. Lu, “What's the matter?”

“You also know Luke's father is busy and that it is not easy for him to be free at ordinary times. Some

time ago, he called me and said that the army was doing a big war exercise in these six months. Thus,

it is estimated that the army can only ask for leave to come back to attend the wedding after the

exercise is over.”

Grandma helplessly shakes her head, and continues, "So I didn’t agree to send him to the army, but my

husband does not think so. Now Luke’s father is in the army all the year so that it is so difficult for us to

meet him. What a pity.”

“It's all right. I'll stay with you.”

Jenny most hates her sighing. Every time Mrs. Lu mentions her children, Jenny feels pitiful.

Mrs. Lu has two sons and a daughter. Luke's father is the eldest son, who grows up in the army and is

cold, colder than Luke. And the second son is a businessman, but died because of the car accident,

leaving a son and a daughter. Now they immigrate to overseas, and the daughter now is in abroad to

do scientific research and rarely comes back.

Actually, it is a prosperous family, but there is no firework inside the house, leaving the old lady alone at

home.

“You are the most sensible, and I like you. At the beginning, I have regarded you as Luke's wife.”

Mrs. Lu holds Jenny's hands and the wrinkles around her eyes become much clearer.

“Well, I know you are so good to me.”

Jenny tilts her head with a sly look.

"Sure, I really like you. Since you came here, it's more like a home. Therefore, you are the best choice

for Luke. When Luke comes back from Beijing, you guys should go to pick up your wedding clothes.”

Mentioning Beijing, Jenny looked a little upset.

She hears the servants’ chatter before the breakfast. She does not know whether those words are true

or not, but she feels unhappy.

“Mrs. Lu, before the wedding, Luke's parents have not seen me, is it unreasonable?”

Then, she looked at Jenny quite seriously. “Jenny, do you hear anything from others?”

There are so many servants in their house, so it is hard to avoid gossip.

Jenny feels surprised that Mrs. Lu can know something just from her reaction. Mrs. Lu's intelligence is

beyond her imagination.

“I don't know which little girl is gossiping in the house. And I have asked the housekeeper to find out.

Such a servant must be dismissed.” Mrs. Lu says seriously.

“I've heard about it, but I don't take it to heart. I know it's just a rumor...”

"I also know his mother. She is proud, but her character is not bad, and she is not easy to get along

with. In a word, I dislike her most, or I would not refuse her to accompany me in the Flower

House.”
