“He’s alright.” John dismissed all of her questions with a curt response.
Feeling ever more uneasy, Helen went on to say, “Chris will be graduating soon, so he has been working on his dissertation. He also told me he doesn’t want to keep on studying after graduation. In fact, he is all grown up now, so I don’t think he needs to keep on studying either. Why don’t you let him come home? He can work under Pierre to help share his load.”
Savoring his tea, John didn’t give an immediate reply, which unnerved Helen. Ever since she was young, she had a hard time reading John, and despite having spent her life with him, she still failed to read his mind.
“Fine.” It wasn’t until a while later that John spoke.
A smile bloomed on Helen’s face after having finally been relieved of her mental load.
Ever since that night, Meredith had been staying with the Fowlers. Due to the shock she received, as well as concerns over Pierre’s enemies coming to get her, the Fowlers arranged for her to stay in their house as a means to placate her. However, she was living in the guest room instead of the room they prepared for the newlyweds.
The fact that she lived in the guest room felt like a humiliation to her, but on the other hand, staying in the room for newlyweds despite the fact that she still had yet to get married to Pierre would be an even greater humiliation. Although she knew Pierre was injured, she wasn’t at all concerned, as she could surmise from John’s reaction that Pierre didn’t suffer from severe injuries.
Therefore, she was more disconcerted by the fact that Selena was with him. Pierre shared an ambiguous relationship with Selena, so she was certain that something might happen between them while they were left alone together.
She was pacing back and forth in the room when the door opened a crack before a small head popped into the room. “Mom, can you play with me?”
