After all, some time ago when he started causing trouble outside and did not dare to tell his parents about it, his sister had always been the one to help him take care of those matters.
Sometimes, he would wonder if she was the elder sister and he was her younger brother.
…
Everything in the province was basically completed, and now, what was left would be given to the subordinates to handle. Of course, Dawson would arrange for all of these.
As such, Jasper brought Wendy back to the city.
It had been a while since they came back. The moment Jasper and Wendy stepped through the door, they heard Jasper’s mother, Sally, nagging at them.
“Even if you’re busy, you have to rest and eat well. Where did you two go these few days? I saw that the lights in the house you’re living in next door were turned off at night. I didn’t see you two as well.”
“We were in the province these few days. We were with Wendy’s father.” Jasper took off his coat and hung it on the rack while replying.
“You’ve met her parents?” Sally had joy written all over her face.
“Did you remember to bring a gift?
“Did you forget your manners?
“Is Wendy’s father satisfied with you?”
Sally’s back-to-back questions caused Wendy to blush. She said quickly, “Sally, it was just a normal meeting. The main purpose of the meeting was still the business collaboration. It’s not what you think.”
“Wendy, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Let’s discuss this when Jasper’s father comes back. Let’s decide a time for us parents to meet,” Sally said something astonishing.
Jasper did not know whether to laugh or cry. “What meeting between parents? Mom, stop interfering!”
“What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Do you still want Wendy to stay with you with no status? I won’t agree to it, and the parents should meet when it’s almost time. According to our tradition, the man’s family should go to the woman’s home and invite the woman over.”
The more Sally talked about this, the happier she became. She wanted so badly to call Charlie back right now to discuss the meeting of the parents.
When Jasper saw Wendy being as shy as a mouse and wanting very badly to hide, he coughed dryly. When he was about to say something, the phone rang.
