My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 800

As the two of them left, Jenkins turned to Peter.

Peter frowned. “So… is what my sister said true?”

Jenkins paused. “Which part?”

“All of it!” Peter's tone was a mix of curiosity and exasperation.

Jenkins laughed softly. “Well, most of it's on the mark. Your sister's no innocent bunny—she's as sly as a fox.”

Peter beamed with pride. “Of course. Nobody in the Olsen family is dumb.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Peter looked at her, confused. “Absolutely. Intelligence runs high in our family—my parents are both geniuses.”

Jenkins raised an eyebrow. “Ever heard of the balancing theory?”

Peter tilted his head. “What theory?”

“That two smart people together can only produce an average child,” Jenkins explained with a smirk. “It's nature's way of keeping things in check. Sometimes, I feel like Earth itself is just one big prison, and we're all under a very strict watch. Ever wonder why South family kids have such a hard time?”

Peter blinked, taken aback. “Uh… wait, what? Is that really a thing?”

Jenkins gave him a wry look. “Have you met your niece Amy? You should keep a close eye on her. The South family's lineage has been thinning out. They used to have hundreds fighting over the inheritance; now, there's barely nine. And all the women in the family? Trained since childhood, taking all sorts of hits to their bodies… It's a wonder they can even have children. Trust me, Amy's more valuable than you think.”

Peter looked at Jenkins, then let his gaze drift down to her stomach.

Jenkins stepped back quickly. “What are you doing?”

“Just thinking… No wonder there's been no ‘accidents.' Guess that's nature's way of birth control.”

Jenkins's face went bright red. She glared at him, flustered. “What… what is wrong with you?”

Peter shrugged. “What? Just stating the obvious. For someone who lies as much as you do, you sure don't take well to honesty. Fine, I'll keep my mouth shut.” He threw her a teasing grin and walked off.

Jenkins was left fuming.

She stomped forward, only to notice that Peter had doubled back, standing just a few steps away, still not looking at her directly. “Before I go… what my sister said about you having feelings for me, and just pretending otherwise to avoid putting me in a tough spot. Is that true?”

Jenkins froze, looking at him.

Peter's face was slightly flushed, and though he wouldn't meet her gaze, his fingers fidgeted as if betraying his nerves.

Jenkins chuckled softly. “Yes. It's true.”

“Oh.” Peter looked everywhere but at her. “Guess I'll have to think about forgiving you, then.”
