Dominant Boss: Call Me Hubby, My Dear novel Chapter 5

After George dried his hair and changed into his blue pajamas, he came out from the bathroom.

He took his glasses off and climbed up the spacious bed. He looked at his mother and asked, "Which side do you want to sleep on?"

George was a gift from the heavens. He was only six years old but he was independent. Not only did he take care of himself but he also took good care of his mother.

Jeanne stared at George's eyes without the glasses. His big googly eyes were glimmering in the dim environment.

"Mom?" Jeanne's stare made George uncomfortable.

Jeanne regained her composure and said, "Never take off your glasses in front of other people."

"You've said that like 10 times already."

"I'm just reminding you."

"Please believe in your son's photographic memory."

"Fine. You can sleep inside. I want to take a bath first," Jeanne said as she stood up from the bed.

"Sure."

Jeanne went into the bathroom with her pajamas.

The Lawrence family wanted to look generous, so they arranged a huge room for her that had a grand bathroom equipped with a full-length mirror.

She took off her clothes in front of the mirror and saw her fair body. There was an ugly scar at the lower part of her belly.

Due to abnormal positioning and presentation of the fetus, Jeanne had to give birth to George through cesarean delivery.

She caressed her scar and grinned.

"It's okay. I'll take back what was owed, 10-fold!"

A quick bath later, she went to bed with her son.

When she woke up, the sky was already dark.

Jeanne opened her eyes and saw George playing with his tablet.

It might look like he was playing with it but only he himself knew what he was doing.

She stretched her body and asked, "What time is it?"

George had a glance at the time. "Seven o'clock in the evening."

"No one came knocking?"

"No."

Jeanne frowned.

She quickly cleaned herself up and she and George changed into fresh clothes before they headed down.

Jenifer, Jasmine, and Eden were downstairs and those lady friends of Jenifer that she saw earlier in the day were already gone.

It was then she saw Alexander, her father that beat her up and threw her out of the house seven years ago, and her stepbrother, Joshua, who was the golden boy of the family.

Alexander also noticed Jeanne's presence. He said with a heavy tone, "Do you know what time it is now? Where are your manners? You went abroad for so many years and this is what you've learned?"

Jeanne was traumatized by what Alexander did to her seven years ago and the trauma haunted her for a long period. She had no idea how far a man would go when rage was behind the wheel but her father told her the answer, physically, seven years ago.

"Did you call?"

"Jenifer called."

Jeanne was not surprised at Jenifer's usual tactic. She was not bothered and unable to uncover the woman's lies at the moment.

She simply said, "When I was abroad, did you give me anything at all? No, not even a penny. I don't know anyone, I have no certs, I don't have any connections or contacts. When I was sleeping on the streets, where were you? I think I did great for getting back in one piece."

"Enough! You weren't summoned back to question me! If you're half as obedient as your sister, this relationship wouldn't be like this."

Jeanne no longer cared about the so-called fatherly love. She said plainly, "If you want me back here and marry some guy, you better be kinder to me, or else outsiders might think that you're selling your daughter off for money. We wouldn't want such rumors to tarnish your reputation, wouldn't we?"
