Chapter 180 - Such a troublemaker
Scott saw his mother in daze and she looked like she is now facing dilemma about something. He knows what is the reason for this.
Scott slowly detangled himself from Jean as gently as ever, so careful not to wake up her. He sat on arm rest of his mother's chair and wrapped one of his hand around her shoulder.
"What are you thinking mom. Is it about Jean and her aggressive mood." His voice is so gentle and he sounded like a small child. Her heart instantly melted like a butter. This child really knows how to pacify the mother.
"No, Scott. I am not worried or having second thoughts about her, I do frankly feel her uncle deserves this child's ire." She leaned into her son's arms.
After he got his girlfriend , he forgot to comfort his mother like this. It's been so long…
"Her uncle called…." His eyes darkened and his body became stiff as he uttered that words again. Susan could literally feel her son's unbearable coldness in his tone. She shivered slightly and wondered how Jean could endure this when she stays in his arms like this..
Oh. .she forgot again. Jean is also like this, so suffocating when she switch to her aggressive mode.
"Hmm….he even demanded her to come back to Grey's. He was so annoying and double faced that Jean became impatient and they had a word war. But I liked the way she handled him and his persistence, I do really feel that her temper as advantage when comes to intimidating the hypocrites like him." Susan muttered smoothly, very cautious not to wake up Jean.
Scott smiled at his mother's level of support for him. It is clear that she was afraid however she understood how Jean's way to handling works. "Then why are you sad and mood off. Hmmm" Scott asked his mother leaning his head on to hers.
"It is your grandfather Scott, I am worried how Jean will tolerate his level of arrogance and stubbornness. It took a solid year for me and your father to make him allow us to marry . For that I had to leave my career as Lawyer but after you and Seline came into our life I got forced to only take care of you both and sit in home. Later I retaliated and became mayor of this city, again when your father got a mild heart attack I was forced to resign it and take care of him."
This is the first time she shared her real reason for being narrow minded when classifying the traits of her future daughter in law. She don't want any other woman to feel this same pain again, a distress of loosing the self esteem. But she changed her mind when she met Jean.
"You have to act so submissive and obedient with him. It is exactly what Jean lack. He will go very though on the people he don't like, I could say that Adam's behavior towards Jean will be much more tolerable than your grandfather's. If she loose her temper like this and talk something offensive you know that none of us could come to your aid"
"Can Jean do the same things I did back then. She is rebellious and also so serious minded about her career. Moreover she is still a Grey and this will be enough for that old man to reject her. If he gets to know about this shade of her it is enough for him to reject her" Susan looked into her son's eyes which are gloomy.
"I will take care of that old geese. And there is no need to worry about Jean, she is far capable to handle him. You didn't see her real capacity yet, she could be assertive, domineering but at the same time she can also make others attracted to her in some or other way. She is really good in changing her personality according to the behavior of the person, she is very good manipulator" Scott winked at his mother.
She believed his words. Actually they are quite true and logical. When talking to her uncle she is aggressive but when it comes to Scott on the same time she is delicate and sensitive. Of course which men won't like to pamper their true love if she act so innocent and charming. When it comes to herself Jean is always polite yet friendly. She also gives her a daughterly love. If it is her brothers she is no way different than a child.
She always keep her guard down and be what she truly is if it is someone who she trusts and loves. Jean could really flip her character like a blink of eye depending on her judgement about the person she is facing. Her way of handling is always perfect…
"You are right. I will leave your grandparents issue to you. I feel like Jean can melt that old geese cold heart. I will go and cook dinner, your siblings are coming to see Jean" she patted her son's shoulder and left the room.
Before she exit his room she smiled bitterly at him. "I like Jean, she is actually a thoughtful and practical woman. I don't know anything else than that but I do care for her and love her in same way I do for my own daughter and I will be willing to support her in every possible way I can. But when it comes to your grandparents I can't help you both in any way, neither your father can. It will be only you both. I wish Jean can persuade him"
Scott stared at Jean for a while and then indulged back in his video conference. He never thought that his grandparents are that dominative and overbearing. He couldn't help but worry.
Jean woke up again at dinner time and as soon as she saw Scott sitting beside her she pounced on to him and snuggled closer to him.
Scott is momentarily bewildered by her sudden attack though he knows how her mood swings work, sometimes it is totally unpredictable. More than him his employees in video conference are shocked to an extent, some of them even felt like they are about to vomit their blood.
Without any further instructions Scott ended the meeting. Jean really don't have idea of how many people got shocked for her sudden assaults. Scott wrapped his arms around her and shoved his face into crook of her neck making her giggle.
"Ms. Grey do you have any idea how much trouble you bought to me today" he said seriously while kissing her neck.
Jean clearly don't have any idea of her mother in law's arrival. "Nope, am I such a troublemaker Huhhh.." Jean giggled at the tickling sensation his warm breathe made on her sensitive skin.
"Yes, you are baby. Mom almost got scared because of your extremely hostile conversation with your uncle. She was shocked" Scott bit her neck making her gasp suddenly.
She really don't know how patient he had been to explain everything to his mom. He worked so hard to pacify her from having second thoughts, it drained all his energy.
"Ow…it hurts" Jean pouted cutely but that didn't stop him…
"Mom is in dilemma when I saw her sitting beside you. She was smiling bitterly, you do really startled her" Scott untied her sash suddenly and hovered over her before kissing her deeply yet roughly.
She should be cautious of her surroundings before she so anything. Mainly when she decides to use her inciting and venomous shade. If his mother would have seen the real capacity of Jean she might have fainted there. Why will others call Jean as 'Ruthless queen' if she isn't that valiant. Jean is everything that can be classified as a vixen. She is just holding back so much for sake of her disguise …
"Mother came. I really didn't know about it. What did she say" Jean breathe hitched because of the pervert hovering on her.
"She was afraid and scared. She thought you will not be accepted by my grandparents. You don't have any idea how much I troubled my self to clear her head from having bad thoughts about you. Your warning to your uncle made her fear for you." Scott aggressive kissed her making her clutch his shoulders tightly.
He could ascertain what was going in his mother's head then. Jean literally called her uncle as her toy to play with and she even called him a rat, she said she wants him to be alive so she will not feel bored. This might be little exaggerated but because of her sharp tongue it will surely sound so vicious and cunning.
"Mmm.. Scott mom is there. What the hell are you doing" her mind is going haywire because of him. He really didn't care if his mother see them like this.
"Oh.. You care about it now. Jean you really have to think twice about you talk, you might not mean what you said to them but it will surely cause some or other problems. I do really like you being like that, actually I love that phase of you but you have to behave when we are around the people who only knows you as polite and meticulous woman." Scott bit her swollen lips one last time before closing his eyes.
"I am sorry, it is my headache" Jean caressed his hair. If she would have seen her mother in sitting in the same room as her she must have held her tongue from throwing such a poisonous and sharp words.
"I know Jean. Be practical, if you would have looked around the room even just for a few seconds this might not have happened right. This isnt only about mom, Jean but what will happen if you act out of impulse like this in front of people you should not. This will surely cause you trouble. Remember that we are not alone anymore like previous years and don't forget that we are in disguise. There are so many people we care and many other people who are waiting for a chance to sue us. You should be careful to not let your guard down" Scott kissed her forehead and shoved his face into crook of her neck, starting his course of action again.
"I will not act like this again until it is needed. I will make it up to mom and also I will pacify your grandparents, don't worry" Jean said determinedly.
"You better Ms. Grey because I don't want to wait any longer to marry you. Soon the better because your uncle will surely learn his lesson very soon from now. Then one of the main hindrance will be gone. After we get marry we can together find the person who killed your parents and take the revenge. As I promised your family will reunite with you soon and you must also keep your promise" Scott hummed
against her collarbone while kissing it
"Yes, I will. We will marry soon" Jean kissed him passionately for which Scott responded with even more vigor.
Before the room got heated with theirs passion suddenly Seline barged in…
