Chapter 60 You Can’t Guard against impulse day and night
Jasper wanted to go into her dreams and see what was in them. It was either heart-rending tears or forceful clamping.
He was in pain!
The feeling of bones being crushed by her!
He tried to break free, but …… delusions of grandeur! He tried every angle and method, but could not break free of her grip!
Day 2.
He handed her his arm, a dark purple bruise.
Helena was full of suspicion, not believing that this was her doing, instead she thought, “Mr. Jasper, are you trying to set me up?”
Jasper: ……
Helena: “I’m a woman with no strength, how can I pinch you like that?” She did a live demonstration, using all her strength to pinch his skin, but it just turned red. It was impossible to pinch a bruise.
Asserting him, “Did you have an affair with another woman while I was asleep and get beaten up by her husband?”
Jasper: ……
How could he have an affair with someone else’s wife?
But he felt that there was something wrong with Helena: She was so different in reality and in the dream.
He told her to drive on the grounds that his arm hurt.
He sat on the passenger seat and sent a message to Matthew: [Is there a psychiatrist with good skills? Helena has some problems, I want a psychiatrist to do a deep hypnosis on her!]
Matthew was typing a reply.
When Spencer’s call came in, Jasper did not answer the phone and replied to him by a message instead: [On honeymoon, please do not disturb me].
Spencer was so angry that he slammed his phone.
Have the butler call Ashley Howard and Evelyn Sharp over, “You’ve raised a good son, he’s not trying to rebel, he’s trying to piss me off.”
Ashley and Evelyn looked at each other: what happened?
Calmly picking up the phone, she was suddenly very happy to see the marriage certificate, but she didn’t dare to show it again but handed the phone to Ashley.
Ashley knew about Helena and never stepped in to take charge.
Because, Jasper was not married and Helena was not married, they were both good kids with responsibilities, so why couldn’t they be together?
He had found it ridiculous back then Jasper had engaged at his young age and that Reeva had been kept out of sight. He respected the military, but Jasper was his precious son.
Ashley supported Jasper.
He was quite pleased with this beautiful daughter-in-law.
His eyes narrowed into lines as he smiled, “Well, good for the honeymoon, and better to have me hold my grandchildren soon.”
A slipper came flying towards him.
Then a crutch flew towards him immediately afterwards.
He dodged left and right, shielding his wife outside, and then poked his head out and smiled at Spencer: “Dad, Zack is already holding his great grandchild, don’t you want to hold yours? Zack is at home every day enjoying the joy of family life, don’t you want to enjoy four generations together?”
Of course Spencer wanted to, but a soldier must keep his word and never say give up until the last moment.
Ashley asked him, “How many 28 years does a person have? How many more 28 years can you wait? Do you want to see Jasper get married and have children, or do you want to see Jasper alone?”
Of course Spencer wanted to see Jasper get married and have children, but what he wanted most was to see Jasper and Reeva get married and have children.
Ashley said, “If Reeva is with Jasper and Jasper falls in love with others, that is Jasper’s fault. But Reeva has never shown her face, and it’s good enough for Jasper to wait for her for so many years.”
Still angry, Spencer poked the ground heavily with his cane: “Good enough? How can I explain to the Bates family? How dare I go and meet Zack? In front of him from now on, I will be a villain, whose words are not honoured.”
Ashley understood his feelings.
The older generation viewed friendship as more important than their own lives.
But think about it differently, “Dad, have you ever thought about how many years do you think Reeva would wait for Jasper and the person who hadn’t shown up was Jasper? And how many years would the Bates family let Reeva wait?”
Spencer was frozen: a question he had never thought about!
Evelyn gave him a thumbs up: Good point, Honey!
Ashley gave her a quiet high five: for our son, for our grandson, I have to go for it!
Spencer was still stiff there with a complicated expression on his face. Ashley knew the words had an effect and walked in to help Spencer onto the sofa, pounding his legs and squeezing his arms.
“Dad, Sam’s very understanding, he’s hiding this matter because he’s afraid you won’t be able to explain it to Zack.”
“……” Spencer would be damned if he believed him.
“If you hadn’t called us over, how would we have known he was married?”
“……” Spencer’s eyes lit up, which meant: as long as they didn’t say anything, the Bates family wouldn’t know about it?
Ashley seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile, “If we don’t say anything, the Bates family will never know. If Zack asks, you can just say that they are ordinary friends.”
“What happens when they get pregnant and have a baby?”
“Youngsters are inevitably impulsive, you can’t guard against impulse!”
“He’ll believe that?”
“Even if he doesn’t believe in it, and he can stuff the baby back into his mother’s womb?”
“……”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Once again, Spencer fell into silence, no matter how angry he was, Ashley’s words still touched him quite strongly: if the two families made an exchange, how long could the Bates family keep Reeva waiting for Jasper?
Zack might would have said to Jasper, “Wait for Reeva for the last two years,” and then said to him, “Forget it! Reeva’s life and death are unknown, and I don’t know if she’ll come back, so we can’t keep delaying Jasper.”
He would ask that of Jasper? Would say such things to him?
The only reason for saying such things to him was that he knew his endowment and wanted him to put pressure on Jasper.
Who was not selfish when it came to the happiness of their children and grandchildren?
Ashley nudged him, “Dad!”
Spencer figured it out and he decided to let go and let them work it out on their own: “I’m old and hard to manage it. I don’t have the energy or stamina to bother with their affairs. I believe whatever they say, and I’m surprised to get a great grandson.”
Ashley was overjoyed: “Dad, that’s right! Our children and grandchildren have their own blessings, we just don’t add to the mess. They can handle their own affairs, and if they do well, they are good at it, but if they don’t, they will bear the consequences.”
Having thought things through, Spencer stopped clinging to old friendships and decided to protect his precious grandson with selfishness.
He didn’t hate Helena in the first place, this time he seemed a little more satisfied, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, “I’ve seen that girl of the Yip family, she’s good looking and has a temper, she’s a good match for Jasper.”
“That’s for sure! Jasper looks like you, and your taste is not bad, Dad.”
“Inform them to keep it well under wraps and not to make a big deal out of it.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll let them know in a moment.”
“Let the girl give birth to a great grandson to me. I just hugged Zack’s great grandson for a while, and Zack is afraid I’ll drop his baby, he’s so petty.”
“So it’s better to have one of your own!”
Spencer fished out her wife’s jade bracelet and gave it to Evelyn: “Give it to her sometime. I gave her a hard time that day, so tell her not to take it to heart. Now that I have let go of my obsession, I like her very much. By the way, Ashley, you go and find out her origins.”
