Joyce touched her swollen cheek. She felt her heart burning.
She looked at him with her stunned eyes and said, "brother, you hit me! You haven't hit me since I was
a child, and my father and grandfather haven't hit me either. How can you hit me... "
They all helped her, and even beat her!
Are they crazy?!
"Yes, I hit you today. What's wrong?" Looking at her, Caleb's heart throbbed, but he still pulled a long
face.
It was true that he had been taking good care of her since her childhood. Even if it was not for him, the
whole Lu family, including Jeffery, John and Mark, all of them pampered her. But what about her?
It didn't become good, but worse and worse.
He didn't expect how kind she could be. At least, she shouldn't try to play tricks on some women,
snatching them at all costs. The Lu family were always fair competition. They all knew that she loved
Mark, but now she had no chance to get close to him. Why did she keep bothering him?
Everything was not because of Jessie's fault. Why would she blame her anger and resentment on an
innocent person.
Caleb couldn't stand just thinking of it.
He patted on John's shoulder and comforted him, "don't be angry. It was her fault today. I apologize for
her."
John cast a furious glance at Joyce, and then he shook off his hands and left, "take care of her. I have
no time to lecture others' sister."
"Brother..."
"Shut up."
-
Upstairs room.
Although the pain had been alleviated a lot, Jessie still curled up. Her face had gradually turned red
and smooth these days, and was as pale as paper, which made people feel very sorry for her.
Mark ran his fingers through her messy hair and picked up a dozen black hair.
He frowned and continued to brush her hair, but again, a lock of hair fell down.
What the hell was going on?
As far as he could remember, she didn't drop any of her hair...
"Ouch..." Hearing her weak voice, Mark's heart twitched. Guilt and remorse filled his deep eyes.
Why didn't he notice that she got hurt just now?
The blood marks scratched out by fingernails were very eye-catching.
And how about Joyce?
He stood up abruptly and went downstairs. Joyce pouted and pretended to be pitiful to get sympathy,
but she didn't have the chance to do so because of what Mark said.
"Caleb, you take her home first. I will explain to grandpa in a few days."
In a daze, Caleb stared at Mark blankly. After a while, he replied, "okay." then Mark turned around and
went upstairs again.
Joyce looked at him blankly and asked, "explain what? What is he going to explain? "
Did he want to tell Grandpa that he was married?
No! No way!
Ignoring the pain from her injured ankle, and along with the pain, she limped toward Mark, held his
hand and asked, "Mark, tell me the truth. What on earth do you want to talk to Grandpa? What do you
want to explain to Grandpa? "
He had to tell her that it was her who had to explain it, not her grandfather!
Mark shook off her hand and looked at her coldly. The girl standing in front of him was no longer the
Joyce that he knew. Although Joyce was competitive, she never played tricks or badgered him.
He had no idea of this.
"As for what happened today, I don't want to know whose responsibility it is. I really don't want to fight
for Jessie's identity. She is my wife. If you think it's me who should feel sorry for you, I admit it! But
please stay away from my wife. If there is something wrong with her and her baby, I won't let you go! "
"You won't let me go?" Joyce laughed as if she had heard the most funny joke in the world. Although
she just laughed, her heart was bleeding.
"How dare you threaten me! You threatened me for a woman you just knew for a few months! Don't
forget, you said in front of Grandpa and the whole Lu family that you would only marry me in this life...
Yes, she is pregnant now. Didn't I ever have your child? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be unable to give
birth to a child for the rest of my life, and I wouldn't be unable to be a mother! You said you would make
it up to me. Okay, I'll spend the rest of your life to compensate me. Otherwise, I won't let you off! "
"That's enough, Joyce!" Caleb pulled her hand and said in a serious tone, "enough of this. Now look at
you. You are no more than a lunatic. Come home with me. "
"No way!" Struggling to get rid of the rope, she glanced at the woman standing on the second floor and
said with a sarcastic smile, "Mark, when you learned that I couldn't get pregnant again, didn't you say
that you would look for someone to give birth to a baby for us? Anyway, I am the only mother of your
child. Don't you remember? Just now, you said that Jessie is your wife, which is a fact that no one will
deny. By the way, do you get married? Do you have a marriage certificate? As far as I know, you don't
even have a wedding ceremony. You married her just to meet Uncle LAN. Am I right? "
Mark did not speak, just staring at her.
He had underestimated her. They had only been back for a few days, but she had already made a
thorough investigation of him.
He had a little guilty for her, but now it seemed totally unnecessary.
Standing at the door of the room, Jessie didn't know what happened behind them, let alone the people
in front of him.
Her mind was filled with the words that Joyce said before, "I am the only mother of your child..."
It turned out that he did everything he could to keep the baby, just for the sake of Joyce!
It turned out that the reason why he said she didn't deserve to be his child's mother was that he had
already had a suitable person in his heart.
She didn't know how long she had been standing, and what she heard was just the heartbreaking
sound in her heart, and the severe pain from her body.
As soon as Grace came out of the kitchen and was about to give some medicine to Jessie, she saw
Jessie standing at the door of her room and could not help but call "my lady". Everyone downstairs
heard that Jessie was just waking up.
"Jessie!" Mark called her name worriedly. Joyce cast a cold glance at her grey face, and her heart was
filled with complacency.
That was exactly what she wanted!
Everyone wanted to quarrel with her, but none of them found that Jessie had woken up a long time
ago. She just wanted Jessie to know that Mark would always be hers, no matter before, or in the future.
Even if Jessie was pregnant now, the baby's mother could only be her!
She wanted to pick a fight with her?
Well, she was still young.
