Little Cute Wife novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37 Cold Blood Family Affection

When Jessica came in her house, she heard Martha was saying, "Henry, take it easy! Jessica will be home soon…"

Before Martha finished what she was about to say, Jessica arrived home. "Hey, Jessica, you're back!"

Jessica slightly said yes and glanced at the man sitting in the sofa. And her eyebrows slightly furrowed then she said, "Hi, Dad, you are back."

"Yes, Jessica. You dad just released from prison two days ago and he comes here to see us today. Look, he bought lots of things to us." Martha smiled very happily and pointed at the tonics which must be expensive on the tea table.

Jessica had a careful look at her father and she recalled the day that he humiliated her in the jail which still made her heart ached. And she was surprised that he would pay a visit to them today.

"Mom, I am still on my business trip, I need to go later." She looked around the house and she found Jason wasn't here. She thought Jason must be at school. Seeing that her dad was here, she didn't ask Martha about Jason.

Martha looked at Henry cautiously and said, "Jessica, you dad…"

"Is your business trip more important than having a dinner with your dad?" Henry got used to treat Jessica that bad.

She could see that he was discontent and impatient.

Jessica sneered and felt it ridiculous, "Dad, do you want me to stay here and have dinner with you? But I think that you don't really want to see me at all.

Henry was embarrassed and angry but he put up with what Jessica said and didn't lose his temper. He just stared at Martha and felt like giving vent to his anger on Martha.

Martha was scared and frighten when she saw Henry's fierce eyes. She tried to ease the situation and said, "Jessica, you dad was in jail for five years and he had a hard life there. Now he was release from the jail, and just listen to him, besides, you dad has something to talk with you."

Have something to talk with me? Jessica lifted her eyebrows and thought in mind. She glanced at Henry who looked unhappy and she guessed that was the purpose for him to come here.

Jessica forced a smile and glanced at her mother who was full of expectations. She compromised and asked, "Dad, what do you want to talk with me?"

Henry had cooled down and peeked at Jessica and said, "I heard from Anna that you are the secretary of the CEO of the Carters Group."

Jessica peeked at her father and she felt so disappointed.

"Yes." She answered indifferently. And she had a strong gut feeling that her father must want her to do something bad.

"Then you should know that lots of companies are scrambling for the Shine Project, right?" Henry frowned and he looked cunning.

As Jessica expected, his dad came here must have his purpose.

Jessica's fingers trembling.

"Yes, I know it." She answered very calmly.

"Anna said that it seems that Louis Carter likes you…" Henry elongated the last two words and he seemed to be uncertain.

Jessica sneered and answered, "Why does he like me?"

"Anna said that you offended Louis Carter, but he didn't fire you." Henry was surprised when Anna told him about that.

Therefore, he couldn't help glancing at Jessica, the illegitimate daughter, from head to toe.

Jessica recalled the slap Anna gave on her that day.

Then she glanced at his father who was cunning, she sneered, "Dad, just cut to the chase. What do you want?"

Henry's face twitched slightly and peeked at her, "Since I was put in jail, The Wilson's business felt off sharply and we are on the verge of going broke. You know that your aunt and Anna just got used to live in luxury and it is so hard for them to live in the life without money. So, I hope you can help me get the Shine Project."

Jessica was extremely disappointed.

She lowered her head and rubbed her fingers, "Dad, I want to help you, but I can't…"

"Jessica Wilson!" Henry snapped at her and cut in. "Five years ago, I asked you to help me. And you told me you can't! I couldn't put in jail if you helped me! Now, I am release from the prison, and I ask you to do me one little favor, but you still say you can't! What the hell did I do that I have such a daughter…"

"Henry, don't be angry…" Martha was comforting him and looked at Jessica like she was begging Jessica not to argue with her dad. "Jessica, for the sake of me, just help your dad…"

Jessica lapsed in silence for a while and she felt like sobbing.

She knew deep down that her dad loved Anna so much and she just got used to it. But her mom would always stand by her father which made her so disappointed.

But her mother didn't have any choice. The biggest mistake her mom made was to love a wrong man.

Jessica took deep breath and she calmed down and said, "How can I help you?"

Henry cooled down when he heard what Jessica said.

He said in a lower voice, "Anna was major in architectural design when she studied abroad in Europe. But she isn't master in that. So, I hope you can steal some engineering drawings about the Shine Project from the Carters Group for Anna and she will represent the Wilsons to attend the bid."

Jessica was in a great shock and she looked at her father and said, "You want me to steal the engineering drawings of the Shine Project? That is the top secret of the Carters Group. It's illegal!"

Though she had seen that there were lots of engineering drawings that she didn't understand in Louis's computer, she knew he cared about those drawings.

Henry snorted and said, "Just be careful and don't let anyone know. That's it! Besides, whether The Wilsons would be on the bidding list or not will depend on you. What's more, if the Wilsons go broke, your mom would have to suffer a lot with me."

Jessica really wanted to laugh out loud after hearing what he said. Her mom had never benefited from him at all!

Seeing Jessica didn't say a word, Henry was afraid that she would said no again, then he chimed, "Don't worry, if you manage to do that, I will immediately take your mom home with me."

"Take my mom home? In what identity?" Jessica sneered and said, "Mistress? Or you will divorce your wife and marry my mom?"

Henry was embarrassed and he lapsed in silence.

Martha looked older and her face was full of sorrow.

Jessica felt so sorry for her mom.

Jessica took a deep breath and she seemed like making a decision. "Dad, if you will divorce your wife and marry my mom, I will help you do that."

What she said was like a bomb that was thrown into his heart.

He looked up at Jessica and gnashed his teeth. After thinking for a while, he nodded his head reluctantly.

"Fine, I promise you!"

After hearing what Henry said, Martha smiled very brightly.

However, Jessica was super disappointed.

In her father's eyes, interest would be always important than love. But actually, the most stupid were these two women by him.

The house of the Carters.

Jason loved sleeping late. But when he heard from the servants that his dad was back, he got up from the bed immediately.

He rushed out of the bedroom on his slippers without getting dressed.

Bella who was lying by the door could feel something was unusual. It stood up and shook its body then followed Jason.

"Dad, dad, dad…"

Jason was running while he was shouting loudly.

His voice was like a bell which could be heard around the house.

Bella was running after him and it also barking excitedly.

Though Bella always fought with Jason these days, but they would be always reconciled.

Louis who rolling the wheelchair came out of his dad's study, and before he turned around, someone who was soft and fat fell into his arms.

"Dad, dad, dad, dad…" Jason was smiling and kept calling Louis dad. He was holding Louis's plastered leg tightly, and he raised his head and smiled at him brightly.

Jason seemed to be obsessed with saying out dad.

Louis frowned subconsciously and he peeked at Jason.

How could he make such famous brand pajama wrinkled? He didn't even comb his messy hair, and he was wearing his slipper, just only one.

He wasn't his son who in his memory was a super delicate boy.

Since Matthew had an argument with him just because of Bella, and he ran away, Keith told him that Matthew was taken back home that night.

He knew that Matthew was just a kid and he was just being childish.

But Louis didn't expect that his son would change a lot. His face became darker.

"Matthew Carter!" Louis called out his name.

Jason just kept laughing, and he didn't know what Louis was thinking in mind. Jason opened his bright and round eyes and kept gazing at the stranger man who was tall and strong.

Jason saw him in the picture and the servant told him that the man was Matthew's dad.

"Dad…" Jason was still murmuring and he, like a monkey, climbed on Louis plastered leg.

Jason's feet were dirty and there were some cute but dirty footprints left on Louis white and clean pants.

Louis was a bit angry.

"Matthew Carter, what the hell are you doing?" He peeked at his son who curled up in his arms like a dog. But in his memory, Matthew hadn't done that to him before.

"Dad…" Jason was acting cute to him and then he climbed to Louis's thigh then he jumped into his chest, but…

Jason burst into tears unexpectedly.

Louis was so confused.

He suddenly cooled down since Jason cried all of a sudden.

Many servants came over when they heard Jason was crying and no one dared to piss any of them since last time.

Jason couldn't stop crying and his tears kept welling in his eyes.

Louis stared at Jason who was crying in his chest.

He wasn't as calm as usual but he looked a bit at a loss what to do…
