Chapter 135
“He’s alright.” John dismissed all of her questions with a curt response.
Feeling ever more uneasy, Helen went on to say, “Chris will be graduating soon, so he has been
working on his dissertation. He also told me he doesn’t want to keep on studying after graduation. In
fact, he is all grown up now, so I don’t think he needs to keep on studying either. Why don’t you let
hime home? He can work under Pierre to help share his load.”
Savoring his tea, John didn’t give an immediate reply, which unnerved Helen. Ever since she was
young, she had a hard time reading John, and despite having spent her life with him, she still failed
to read his mind.
“Fine.” It wasn’t until a whileter that John spoke.
A smile bloomed on Helen’s face after having finally been relieved of her mental load.
Ever since that night, Meredith had been staying with the Fowlers. Due to the shock she received,
as well as concerns over Pierre’s enemiesing to get her, the Fowlers arranged for her to stay in
their house as a means to cate her. However, she was living in the guest room instead of the
room they prepared for the newlyweds.
The fact that she lived in the guest room felt like a humiliation to her, but on the other hand, staying
in the room for newlyweds despite the fact that she still had yet to get married to Pierre would be an
even greater humiliation. Although she knew Pierre was injured, she wasn’t at all concerned, as she
could surmise from John’s reaction that Pierre didn’t suffer from severe injuries.
Therefore, she was more disconcerted by the fact that Selena was with him. Pierre shared an
ambiguous rtionship with Selena, so she was certain that something might happen between
them while they were left alone together.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.
She was pacing back and forth in the room when the door opened a crack before a small head
popped into the room. “Mom, can you y with me?”
Witnessing Jameson’s behavior irked her. “Why should I y with you? Why is that the only thing
on your mind when your father has gotten involved in a major incident?”
Meredith had never scolded Jameson so loudly; the most severe thing he had ever witnessed
coming from her was her look of disdain. Thus, her raised voice was enough to send a shudder
down his spine. Meanwhile, Joaquin was ring at her from behind him with eyes that were almost
identical to Pierre’s.
Instantly, she knew she had made a blunder. Quickly walking to the door, she pulled Jameson and
Joaquin into her room. “I’m sorry, Jameson. I was so anxious as your father was injured. I don’t feel
like ying with you at the moment, so can you go y somewhere else?” She did a one-eighty on
her attitude.
Upon regaining his senses, Jameson replied, “Okay.” After that, Joaquin led him away from
Meredith’s room while she stared at the direction in which they left with contempt.
During the past two days when Pierre went missing, the atmosphere in Fowler Residence had been
depressing. It made the two kids feel ufortable, so they could only y among themselves.
“Joaquin, is she actually our mother?” All of a sudden, Jameson stopped in his tracks to look at
Joaquin.
Joaquin scowled as soon as he realized that even someone as happy-go-lucky as Jameson had
noticed that something was off. “I don’t know,” he replied indifferently.
“She doesn’t feel like our mother. I’ve never seen mothers like her.” Jameson sounded a little
dejected. As he observed his naive brother, Joaquin recalled the sight he witnessed while Jameson
was ill. Meredith wasn’t treating him as nicely as people thought she was.
“It would be great if I could choose my own mother! I want someone like Juniper’s mother. Heehee!”
As Jameson was but a child, his emotions would fluctuate easily, so he quickly forgot about his
recent unhappy encounter with Meredith.
