Jessica’s heart stirred. She knew that Alex was just joking, but her heart still wished for that to actually happen.

She quickly shook her head to toss the demonic thought out of her. Jessica Saffin, keep it together! What the hell were you thinking about? Alex is married. Besides, he is an outstanding man so there’s no way he’d be into woman like you!

“Don’t worry. My mom is quite reasonable. She won’t badger us about it,” replied Jessica with a smile.

“Good,” commented Alex as he grinned.

The two of them walked into the front yard and immediately saw a middle–aged lady approaching them.

“Hey, isn’t this Jessica? You’ve grown up to be a beautiful young lady. Oh, is this your boyfriend?” asked the middle–aged woman in surprise when she saw Alex standing beside Jessica..

“Yes, Denise. This is my boyfriend, Alex. He came to wish grandma a happy birthday. Alex, this is Denise,” said Jessica, who blushed a little. She quickly regained her composure, though, and introduced everyone.

“Hello,” greeted Alex, who had met rich VIPs before but was still feeling anxious when in contact with the legendary gossiping middle–aged women.

“Hi, Alex. Your accent is different. Are you from the North? What’s your family background? Oh, and are you working over there? Did you drive over or did you take the bus?” Denise began to fire a series of questions as if she was a machine gun.

Alex stepped back a little. Holy sh*t! We haven’t even made it past the front yard before the interrogation began. The legends are true. Gossiping middle–aged women really are intense.

Alex was tempted to wipe the sweat forced out of his forehead.

“Haha, this is Alex’s first time here, so I better take him to greet grandma first, Denise,” said Jessica in a hurry before she dragged Alex into the house. Jessica was genuinely worried that Alex would flee and abandon her if Denise kept firing her questions like that.

If that were to happen, then Jessica would lose her cannon fodder for the day.

“Ah, silly girl. I’m doing this for your own good, you know?” said Denise as she giggled.

Alex sighed a breath of relief when he finally made it into the house. That was when he saw another middle–aged woman, who looked just like Jessica. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Alex recognized that middle–aged woman as Jessica’s mom. Unfortunately, the elderly lady was unconscious when they met, so she didn’t recognize Alex.

When Alex saw how Jessica’s mother was staring at him, he became nervous once more.

To make matters worse, Jessica had reached out and held his hand at that exact moment.

“Didn’t you say that you’d be taking the day off? Why are you only…?” said the middle–aged woman before she trailed off, and her gaze zoomed in on the way the two of them were holding hands. Jessica’s mom, Kitty, stared so intently that her eyes were about to pop.

“Alex’s heart gripped. He wanted to retract his hand, but Jessica held on even tighter before he got to move away.

“Mom, this is Alex. He is my boyfriend. I was waiting for him to clock off before heading over together,” answered Jessica calmly as she introduced Alex to her mother.

“Hello,” greeted Alex, who didn’t feel right to flee even when the situation had gone so out of control. He had no choice but to toughen up.

“Huh? Oh, you’re Jessica’s friend. Make yourself at home alright. Jessica, come here with me,” said Jessica’s mom, Kitty. After that, she grabbed Jessica’s arm then turned around to lead Jessica into another room.

“Wait here for a while, Alex,” said Jessica before she shot him a look and followed her mother.
