A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 236

After a while, Evelyn smiles and says, "Very good."

She doesn't like Jessie's family background, but she can barely accept her for she is obedient and is also a designer, which may help Leigh at work.

"Thank you, Auntie." Jessie's cheeks flushes red, but her lips curve in a smile.

Soon, Leigh and his father, Derek, come down.

Derek is tall, handsome, and energetic, with his sharp eyes. He does not look like a man in his fifties at all. He chats with Leigh with a smile on his face.

"Honey." Evelyn greets him and holds his arm. "As Leigh has told you before, he brings a girl back today. I like her quite a lot."

Derek smiles and says, "Of course. He has been talking about it since he entered the study."

"I'd like you to meet my girlfriend." Leigh brings Jessie over and says, "Dad, don't scare my girlfriend."

"Nonsense. Am I scary?" Derek pretends to be angry. When his eyes meet Jessie's, her porcelain-white appearance shocks him.

Jessie manages to smile, bows to him, and greets him politely.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Derek."

When Evelyn sees that Derek is absent-minded, she nudges him, "Honey, Jessie is greeting you!"

"Oh, good." Derek suppresses his embarrassment, and his tone returns to normal. "Pretty well."

"Of course. Will your son make a wrong choice?" Leigh says proudly and kisses Jessie in front of the servants and his parents.

Evelyn says to him, "You are not ashamed in front of so many people!"

"They are all our family. I don't have to restrain myself."

The four of them go to the dining table and take their seats.

Leigh sits next to Jessie. He is very attentive, always helping her with her food.

Seeing this, Evelyn sighs and says, "My son has really grown up. He only cares about his girlfriend while ignoring his mother."

"Mom, this is Jessie's first time here. I'm afraid she'll be nervous." Leigh quickly helps Evelyn with the dishes and coaxes, "In my mind, you are unparalleled. You are the best."

Evelyn becomes pleased immediately.

"Honey, why don't you speak?" Seeing Derek's gloomy expression, Evelyn leans over and whispers, "Actually, Jessie is pretty good and motivated. What do you think?"

"Just so so." Derek glances across the dining table. When he sees that Leigh is so nice to Jessie, his tone becomes even colder. "Don't you know Leigh's personality? It's just a crush."

Evelyn does not think so. "No way. This is the first girl that Leigh brings back home for dinner. You seem not satisfied. Is that because of Jessie's family background?"

Derek says, "Yes. Her family background is not very good, and I'm afraid that Leigh is not serious. If so, he shouldn't bring her back for dinner in case that they break up even though you're satisfied with the girl."

Evelyn agrees.

She likes Jessie very much, who is smart and obedient, but if Leigh is not serious, she can't help either.

Seeing Jessie walk towards the kitchen, Derek hurriedly stands up and says, "I'll go get a glass of water."

Evelyn says, "Why not ask the servants to bring it?"

"No, I'll go by myself."

Derek strides into the kitchen and sees that Jessie is looking for something. In case the people outside see him, he closes the door slightly when Jessie happens to turn around.

Jessie asks, "Uncle, do you want anything?"
