Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

“I heard that the woman Mr. Lewis will marry is one or two years younger than Jessica. Whoops, I didn’t expect that Mr. Lewis still has a good appetite even if he is so old.”

“After the wedding, how should Danis call Miss Timothy? Grandma? She is a few years younger than him. Is it possible for him to call her grandma?”

“Mr. Lewis is worthy of being a literati. His demeanor is different from that of ordinary people! I deeply admire him!”

“Mr. Lewis, it’s a good thing to get married. Why do you look so down?”

“Madam Adeline, don’t be upset. You’d better prepare some medicine to replenish the kidney for Mr. Lewis. If there is any health problem in this area, then it will be a joke.”

Adeline’s expression became more and more ugly, and she couldn’t bear it in the end. She glared at the guest and yelled at him, “Watch your mouth! Did you think that I don’t know those things about your family?”

“Mom.” Jessica came to her with the wheelchair, slightly tugged her, and called her.

But Adeline was anxious. She threw away her daughter directly and raised her voice, “You are just an illegitimate child of the Brown family. You have no right to be complacent!”

Jessica slightly frowned and rubbed her eyebrows. A flash of fatigue and disgust came into her eyes.

When Salim heard this, he looked a little embarrassed, his eyes filled with gloom, “The old one in his seventies and eighties still hooks up with a girl younger than his granddaughter. The woman whose children have reached marriageable age still hooks up with another man. The whole family is in a mess!!!”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“What nonsense are you talking about?!” Regardless of Jessica’s obstruction, Adeline roared with flushed face in the bitter eyes of the guests, “Jason and I are innocent. Don’t sling mud at us!”

Jason was James’s father.

“If it weren’t the truth, what’s your rush? You want to set up an archway after being a bitch. Shameless!” Salim scolded with a sneer.

The guests seated in the Honour Hall looked in their direction and whispered something in groups.

Jessica’s smile froze on her face. No matter how hard she suppressed the anger in her heart, she couldn’t smile, “Mom, you go in first.”

“I…” Adeline looked angry.

But before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Jessica who looked ugly, “You are not feeling well, so go inside and have a rest. Don’t be too tired.”

“Now both the old and the young can yell at me!” Adeline grumbled with an angry face and walked into the Honour Hall, moaning and groaning.

Jessica took a deep breath and forced a smile at Salim, “My mother always speaks freely, so please don’t mind it.”

“Okay. I forgive her for you.” Salim kept his eyes on her, looking up and down.

“Thank you for being considerate.” Jessica said softly as if she hadn’t noticed his lechery, “But you have slandered my grandfather and my mother in front of so many guests today. What are you going to do?”

Salim snorted, looked askance at her, and disdainfully said, “Mr. Lewis is going to marry a twenty-year-old club lady who is pregnant. Didn’t he have respect for himself?”

“Furthermore, huh, who doesn’t know about the affair between your mother and the one of the Harvey family? If you don’t believe it, you can ask one or two from the people sitting inside, and see if they know it!”

Jessica forced a smile at him, “Many people outside like you criticize my grandfather’s affair.”

“But in my opinion, he should be admired for his courage to marry a woman he likes without caring about the eyes of mortals. Some people who are used to poor life hurry to pay for sex after suddenly becoming a rich second generation and get caught by the police at the trading scene. My grandfather is better than these people. Mr. Salim, what do you think?”

Salim’s throat seemed to be squeezed by someone. He flushed with anger and couldn’t even speak a word.

“Since you have received the invitation card to attend the wedding, please be cautious in your words and deeds. It is good to have the basic qualities of being a guest. Otherwise, your father may remove you as a director if he knows what happened at the wedding, right?”

Jessica looked up at him with a slight smile on her face as if she was talking to a friend.

Salim flushed with anger and said through gritted teeth, “You…”

“What do you think?” Jessica interrupted him with a smile and then looked behind him, “Sean is here, too.”

Salim also glanced back. He looked ugly when he saw Sean and Raya came up arm in arm.

To be more specific, he was like a dog meeting a cat, angry, but unable to fight, and finally could only unwillingly leave with the tail between the legs.

“Congratulations on your grandfather’s wedding!” Sean walked over with a smile and handed the gift to Jessica, “Also congratulations to you. You will have a one-year-old uncle or aunt soon!”

The smile on Jessica’s face froze. She nodded without making a sound and then handed the gift to the gift registry.

“Wow, congratulations!” Raya blinked her eyes, and her baby face was full of excitement, “Normally, the older the person is, the worse the quality of sperm will be. Someone like Mr. Lewis is rare in ancient and modern times!”

No one answered, very quiet.

But Raya was able to answer it herself. She nodded, “Congratulations on encountering such a rare thing. You should be happy!”

“I didn’t expect that you will come with Sean,” Jessica curled her lips and changed the subject, “I thought you would come with your father.”

Raya stared at her with surprise, “My dad is so busy that he can’t attend the wedding and this is why I’m here! Is it surprising that I come here with my master who is also my boyfriend? You should know that even just by thinking with your toes!”

Sean coughed drily, beckoning his girlfriend not to go too far.

“You are truly innocent and romantic,” Jessica said softly.

Raya showed a shy expression and crept into Sean’s arms, “Thank you for the compliment. Do you envy me so much? It is something that you can never get by envy!”

“I still have a lot of guests to entertain. Let’s chat another day. Mr. Sean and Miss Raya, please come in and have a seat.” Jessica smiled and said softly.

“Okay, okay!” Raya grinned and waved her hands, “Angela is coming soon. Please treat her well. We go in first!”

After finishing speaking, Raya bounced into the hall while holding Sean’s hand without seeing Jessica’s slightly surprised look.
