Jasper smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll discuss this with Wendy.”
A smile appeared on Dawson’s face and he nodded.
However, to Jasper, that smile looked as if a heavy burden had been lifted from Dawson’s shoulders. It seemed that his future father-in-law was also feeling awkward about this topic and did not know how to say it.
“I’ll go back to the company now,” Jasper said.
“Go ahead.”
This time, Dawson let him leave.
When Dawson saw Jasper leaving, his eyes landed on the newspaper. He saw an advertisement for baby products. The model was a chubby and adorable baby.
“A grandchild. My chubby grandchild.”
Dawson murmured to himself and suddenly burst out laughing. His eyes were filled with expectation and longing.
When Jasper got to the office, Malcolm showed up.
“Anything I can help you with, Malcolm?” Jasper asked curiously.
Malcolm had worked in JW for so long that his English was getting more fluent. He chuckled and said, “Nothing, I’m just here to kiss your *ss.”
“Oh, your English has improved,” Jasper smiled.
“When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since I’m working in Somerland, I have to understand the culture and the language of Somer. That way, not only will I be able to get a job easier, I will also understand what the people of Somerland think.”
