The atmosphere becomes tense.
Jenny clearly feels that there is cold sweat on her forehead.
“It’s not Movie World,” Luke’s cool voice breaks the silence.
Jenny looks up at Luke, thinking that, am I caught in a lie by him?
Luke gives her a once-over, then looks at grandma. His tone is gentle, but without too much emotion,
“Half a year ago, I was preparing to acquire Jade Picture and sent Tom to investigate the assets and profitability of it. The best part to start with were those new stars. At the party of making new signings in Jade Picture, it was my first time to meet Jenny.”
At this point, he pauses for a moment, and looks at Jenny’s side face, “It’s only that she doesn't know, so the meeting in Movie World is actually the second time.”
“Such a good liar!” Jenny thinks secretly.
Sky doesn’t keep asking. Instead, it is grandma who starts to guess and tries to get to the bottom of their love story, “did you have a crush on Jenny at first sight at the party, so you followed her to Movie World later?”
Luke nods his head without any facial expression, which makes Jenny laugh out loud.
“So you courted Jenny first, right?”
“...” Nodding.
"You courted Jenny a long time, but she didn’t accept. So you decided to let her have your baby so that she had no choice, right?”
“...” Luke hesitates for a moment and nods.
“Good boy, you are like your grandpa when he was young.”
“...” Keeping nodding.
What? There seems to be something wrong.
Jenny looks at granny who is smiling like a flower. She seems to find out some secret things.
In those days, did grandpa get grandma pregnant so as to court her successfully?
Luke notices that the little woman on his side looks at grandmother curiously. She looks like a cat that has found dried fish which is really cute.
He smiles subconsciously and doesn’t realize how warm the smile is.
But it’s all in sky’s eyes.
She clenches her fists under the table, her face looks stiff, but still keeps a perfect smile.
It is very late after dinner, but Sky doesn’t plan to leave at all. She sits down and drinks tea, and suggests that she should accompany granny to go for a walk in the yard.
“It’s windy today. I would get a headache if walking outside. Maybe we should go for a walk next time. Now, I’m sleepy. I need to have a rest.”
Intentionally or not, grandma refuses.
Jenny looks at outside subconsciously.
It is not windy but a fine day.
