Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 46: Family Dinner 5

Davis looked at Jessica lightly, a smile on his lips "Are you angry?" He queried.

Jessica let go of his hand, glared at him "Aren’t you happy she is drooling over you?"

Jessica felt her emotion all over the place. She had also praised herself for her composure but that gaze has rattled her up. She felt uncomfortable that Vera’s has never left Davis for a second since they entered.

"Okay, don’t be angry. I wouldn’t let her look at me again", Davis mumbled. He didn’t know why but he felt himself in a good mood seeing her angry because of Vera’s gaze.

"How will you do that? Shut her eyes or shut yours?" Davis was stumped. He will never be able to keep up with her thinking.

"Okay, can we leave. At least she won’t be seeing me then." He smirked, Jessica huffed and shut her eyes again.

A slow footstep with the rattling of a walking cane made Jessica open her eyes. Elder Allen with the support of the butler Alfred entered the living room.

His gray hair had turned as white as wool, his face wrinkled with age, his hand shaky on the walking stick, his usual cold and stern feature now frail. The sight of him triggered so many complicating thoughts and emotion in Davis heart as gaze rested on him.
