Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 33 A Henpecked Husband.

In the villa of the Jin Family

Nathan paced down the speed of the car to answer his mother's call. While he was on the way to his apartment, he received the call from his mother, who urged him to go to the villa of the Jin Family immediately. Nathan knew that no amount of logic could help him refuse his mother. He had no alternative but to drive back to the villa.

Ever since Nathan had taken over JS International, he had moved out of his villa. He had set up his living space in an apartment spanning over 300 square meters. He liked the privacy and tranquility he enjoyed in the apartment as opposed to the villa where his mother, Daisy, kept nagging him all the time. Feeling annoyed, he had finally moved out. When Nathan arrived at the villa of the Jin Family, all the servants stood in two rows beside the fountain most customarily and waited to receive him.

After parking his car, Nathan jumped out of the car and walked straight to the living room. In the resplendent and magnificent living room, a huge crystal lamp shone brightly and dazzlingly. On the wall around the room, there were famous European paintings of the eighteen century, and all of them were exquisite and precious.

On the sophisticated leather sofa, a lady with ruddy cheeks and a plump figure sat smiling brightly. Seated beside her, was a tall and dignified middle-aged man, who was holding a small walnut and a nutcracker.

Nathan creased his brows first and then raised his eyebrows to see a plateful of shelled walnuts lying on the tea table. He felt amused as he realized that his father had been shelling the walnuts for his mother for two hours!

"Dad, Mom!" Nathan took long strides across the spacious and elegantly decorated living space as he approached his parents.

"Oh! My son, Nathan. It's so nice to see you back!" Daisy said as she jumped up from the sofa when she saw Nathan walking up to her. At that moment, her eyes were sparkling with delight and passion.

"Ha-ha, Mommy, once again, you kept Daddy busy shelling walnuts for you!" Nathan spoke as he looked at his mom with a mischievous smile.

Daisy had an indulging, rather childish demeanor. However, heart-of-heart, she was very shrewd. She always pretended to be silly and half-witted in front of people, while that fact was that she was smarter than anyone else. Otherwise, she couldn't have impressed Jason and married him.

"Yap, he had done something wrong. So I'm punishing him now," Daisy said aloud, flashing a big smile. The cunning look in her eyes made Jason want to cry. Who would have thought that Jason, a successful and no-nonsense businessman, would be a henpecked husband at home! But, it was nothing unfamiliar to Nathan. He was used to seeing his henpecked father being bullied by his mother since the time he was tiny. This caused him to make up his mind to grow up to be a brave and independent man. No woman should have the courage to bully him ever in his life. He felt bad for his father and shared a quick look with Jason to show his sympathy.

"Mom, why did you call me home so urgently? What's the matter?" Nathan asked. He cut straight to the point. He couldn't bear to see Jason sitting there obediently shelling walnuts for Daisy. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"Recently, when I visited the United States, why didn't you tell me that your uncle had been hospitalized?" Daisy's smiling face gave way to a stern and no-nonsense expression. The way Daisy switched her role from a carefree rabbit to an intimidating wolf was beyond any comparison.

Jason often asked himself what had made him so blind to marry this woman. In his younger days, there were so many drop-dead gorgeous girls pursuing him. But he had eyes for none other than Daisy. Hence, it was life's little irony that he had reaped what he had sown!

"Oh, Mom! I wanted to tell you in the beginning, but it was my uncle who stopped me by saying that he was fine, and he didn't want you to worry about him," Nathan replied with a smile. He was aware that Luke would never speak ill of him in front of his mother. Hence, he could confidently say whatever he wanted to say.

"But it was very important information, not just a casual thing. You shouldn't have kept the truth from me. You are well aware of your uncle's poor health condition. What if something terrible had happened to him?" Daisy was certainly not willing to let it pass so easily.
