President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 8

The Dawson Family.

The living room was filled with people. Clara, Philip, Aleena, Katie and some of Jessica’s friends were all sitting there.

Jessica and Shawn were on the other side. It seemed to be awkward at the moment.

“You are really well-behaved, Jessica!

How could Natalia be like that? You and Shawn are two of a kind.”

She knew how sensitive your identity was. All she tried to do is to ruin your career by calling the police.”

“I agree on that. She just broke up with Shawn, and fooled around some other guy right away. She was not a decent woman either!”

“You’ve suffered for being a public figure. Now that everyone is talking about this on the internet. You are framed up to be the one seducing Shawn, who then got caught up by his fiancee. There is also rumor about you taking drugs. You need to find a solution to it.”

“Yes!

She made up her mind to call the police. You can’t await your doom!”

Jessica turned a pity eye towards Clara, who sat in the top chair. She revealed a sense of fragility and sadness across her pale face.

"What can I do?

I can’t fight against her if she resists. We are a family. Grandma and my parents will be caught in the middle if we get into an argument.”

By hearing the response, Clara showed an favourable look towards her.

But Philip shouted in anger

“Why is it so difficult for me?

Did she treat you as her little sister, same as you did?”

“You can’t blame it on her, Mr. Philip... I made some mistakes as well.”

Shawn responded peacefully with knitted brows.

Jessica followed up immediately.

“No, it’s definitely my fault. If I didn’t fall in love with Shawn, Natalia wouldn’t...”

“I didn’t mean that, Jessica.”

Shawn stopped her with a deep voice

“I mean we need to explain to her as early as possible, instead of keeping it a secret for so long. Now that I made the mistake for you to suffer.”

By hearing that, Jessica was greatly moved. She put on a grateful look, “Shawn...”

"Ahem!"

Clara had a slight cough, and turned a glowing face towards Shawn.

“Do you have any solution for this? There is no way to keep in silence anymore. I bet you saw the public voices online. It is totally a mess now.”

Shawn switched to a dark face, and Jessica clenched her fist nervously.

“Mrs. Reid, I promise you to take good care of Jessica. I will release a statement to publish our relationship when I get back.”

Clara rose up a happy face.

Aleena and Philip were getting excited as well. Only Jessica had a look of anxiety in her eyes.

“But everyone knows that you have the marriage arrangement already. Will they believe us?”

Shawn held her hands and explained.

“Though everyone knows about the certificate, they barely figure out who my fiancee is. No one will comment aggressively if I state the certificate to be between us.”

Jessica finally turned up a joyful look.

But she frowned the next second.

"What about Natalia...”

“Calm down!

I will explain to her.”

Clara replied, with an air of victorious authority as a mistress.

You don’t have to make the statement, in case any trouble arose.

We can just make the statement the day after tommorrow. It will be Jessica’s birthday. Let’s arrange a banquet and invite some reporters to come. The news will be released then.”

Shawn nodded, “Ok, everything is up to you, Mrs. Reid.”

“You should talk it over with your parents as well. Marriage is a great affair. You can’t just decide by your own.”

“They’ve already agreed on that. My parents like Jessica very much.”

“Good to know that.”
