When Jacqueline came out of her room again, she felt like entering another world. Her husband was sitting on the other end of the sofa with his head down. His eyes were red. Yolanda was acting pettish to George, but George only cared about Logan.
Everything made her feel again that she was not gregarious at all and couldn’t integrate into this family!
“Dad! Cornel…” She shouted, and slowly walked forward with a smile on her face.
George turned his face and had a look. He nodded and then turned to talk with Elena. Jacqueline gritted her teeth and sat beside Cornel. She held his hand and said softly, “What’s going on? I think you seem to have cried. What happened?”
“Nothing.”
Cornel shook his head, looked at her excitedly and said, “Logan’s leg has recovered. He can be the same as ordinary people!”
Jacqueline frowned and tried her best to force a smile, “Isn’t that good?”
She continued, “Logan, when did your leg recover? Why didn’t you tell us before? By the way, I remember your surgery failed earlier? How come…”
Then she suddenly covered her mouth and stopped, “I shouldn’t have said these to you. You’re so lucky. Since your leg has recovered, you don’t need to worry about too much now, right?”
“Yes.”
Logan nodded his head.
Seeing Logan was so calm, Jacqueline’s smile froze. She mocked up in a low voice beside Cornel’s ear, “I was wondering why dad let me out today. It turns out that there is such good news about our family.”
George glanced at her suspiciously, “I’m afraid this is not good news for you, right?”
“Dad, how can you say this? Aren’t you happy that Logan’s leg recovers?” Jacqueline said.
George’s eyes instantly became sharp. Jacqueline pretended not to see anything. She stood up and patted her clothes, “Since everyone is so happy, I will go to buy some food with the kitchen maid, and then cook for you guys personally. Let’s have a celebration!”
“You don’t have to.” Elena stopped her gently.
Jacqueline smiled, “Could it be that the dishes I cook are not to your taste?”
“No. It’s just…” Elena smiled. She fondled her belly with her soft hands, and said with irony in her voice, “I’m afraid you will accidentally put something that shouldn’t be put in the dishes again if your hands shake. You are still grounded now. It would be worse if you make another mistake.”
Jacqueline was angry. She glared at Elena, “Do you think I will poison you?”
“I didn’t mean that. It’s just that you haven’t taken care of a baby before. I’m really worried that you will make a mistake again.”
Elena’s words were constantly reminding everyone of what she had done before. George then said, “OK. You should just sit here. It’s not your turn to intervene in what the kitchen maid wants to buy or make. Anyway, you are not a servant!”
Jacqueline sat down in anger and glared at Cornel as if blaming him for not defending her.
Cornel didn’t do anything. It was just that Jacqueline was too self-willed.
Cornel and Jacqueline didn’t look at each other.
Seeing this, Yolanda immediately came out to ease the situation. She said, “Dad, mom, since today is a good day, why don’t we just go to a restaurant? It’s boring at home all day long.”
“Humph!”
