Chapter 018 She Can’t Be Pregnant
Jenny smiled brightly and headed for the living room, calling happily, “Grandpa, Barret and I are back.”
But grandpa wasn’t in the living room.
Barret ordered someone to put away the things we bought and looked at Moore next to him, “Where’s my
grandpa!”
“He is tired and just fell asleep in his room.”
Barret frowned and quickly realized something, asking. Tell me honestly, has grandpa’s condition gotten worse again recently?”
“Alas!” Moore sighed, “Your grandpa has been keeping us from telling you and Mrs. Smith for fear you’d be worried. Last week, his condition is getting worse every day, and he’s getting more sleepy.”
Hearing that, Jenny was so sad and guilty.
Grandpa was so seriously ill but she didn’t even know about it. She’s really not doing a good job as a
grandson-in-law.
“I’ll go up to see grandpa.”
Just as Jenny finished speaking, Barret grabbed her wrist: “Finish the lunch first.”
“But I want to see grandpa first.”
“Didn’t you hear Moore say that Grandpa just went to bed? If he knew you were coming back, he probably wouldn’t sleep. When we’re done eating and he’s awake, we’ll go see him together.”
Jenny thought Barret was right, so she nodded, “Okay”
“Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, come over here. After knowing you are coming back for lunch, early in the morning, your grandpa has ordered us to buy a good amount of Mrs. Smith’s favorite food, especially this king crab which was. flown in. It’s big and fresh. Your grandpa knew Mrs. Smith liked to eat, so he forced the seafood store owner to sell us a few of the best ones he kept for himself.”
The more Jenny listened, the more she felt grieved.
Although she was almost like an orphan now.
The love that her grandpa gave her was enough to make up for all the warmth that was missing for so many
years.
She was so fortunate to have met her grandpa and so fortunate to be his granddaughter-in-law. Grandpa wanted Barret and her to have a good life, but once his birthday was over, she had to personally mention to him about divorcing Barret. When she thought about it, Jenny felt more unbearable.
“Come and eat, Mrs. Smith. It’s still hot.” Moore was busy back and forth and personally brought the king crabs to Jenny.
Just when Jenny was about to extend her chopsticks, a sudden violent feeling of retching hit her.
She immediately ran to the bathroom and threw up, but as soon as she returned to the table and smelled the king crab, she covered her lips and ran to the bathroom to throw up again.
Returning to the table, Jenny saw Kay bringing a glass of warm water while looking at her with a smile, “Have
you been to the hospital lately? You seem to be pregnant and it’s probably that there is already a baby in your belly now. Your grandpa’s dream of holding a little great-grandson will come true soon.”
Jenny felt panic and was just about to speak when Barret took the lead, “Kay, there’s no such thing and she
can’t be pregnant.”
“But Mr. Smith, based on my experience, Mrs. Smith looks like she’s pregnant.”
Barret frowned and said decisively, “Impossible.”
Barret was going to say that he had always used birth control and that Jenny had taken the pill. But fearing that
grandpa would lecture him if he knew that, Barret explained in another way, “I’ve been busy with work recently
with half the time on business trips. We even don’t have time to sleep together.”
These words completely burst Kay’s bubble.
Although Kay was a little lost, she immediately gave Jenny another bowl of bird’s nest, “Mrs. Smith, you are still
young. As long as you get well, the baby will surely come soon.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
But old Smith’s health condition was not well and he might not be able to wait for that day.
Servants went to
After the meal, all be busy.
Thinking about the pregnancy Kay just mentioned, Jenny finally didn’t hold back and looked at Barret, “I want to
ask you a question?”
“What question?”
“When Kay just said I
ik he pregnant, you were calm and very sure that I wasn’t pregnant. Didn’t you ever
think about what if I was pregnant?”
Barret suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Jenny with a scowl.
The next moment, his cool voice filled Jenny’s ears like a cold wind, “There is no what-if, and there can’t be
what-if.”
“I mean what if.”
“Even if there is.” Barret’s face was somber and he added, “We’re not fit to have a baby now, and I’m not going to allow you to have one.”
Jenny was devastated that the answer was the same as the last one. Barret never wanted a baby that belonged
to them.
If he knew about her pregnancy now, he would feel that was a burden.
“I’m sorry baby, I still couldn’t help you fight for daddy’s love. But don’t worry, no matter how hard it will be in the future, I will not give up on you. No matter what decision your daddy makes, I am also looking forward to your birth, so you must be healthy in mommy’s tummy.”
Although sad, Jenny tried to smile so that no one would see anything wrong.
Keith and Jenny had been only sitting in the living room for a few minutes when Moore came down to tell them that their grandpa was awake.
“Really? Let’s hurry up.”
Jenny grabbed Barret’s arm out of happiness and headed upstairs.
Barret acquiesced and followed her upstairs.
The room that Grandpa Smith lived in was the most antique in the whole house with a study room, bedroom,
lounge, and conversation room all in one. And this room was transparent from north to south, very bright.
Jenny had just entered holding Barret’s arm when she saw old Smith walking over with a cane.
“Grandpa.”
Jenny immediately let go of Barret and jumped to Old Smith to hold his one arm.
It looked like Jenny was grandpa’s granddaughter, and he, the grandson, looked like a grandson-in-law, like ant
outsider.
“Jenny, I’ve been looking forward to your return, and you’re finally back.”
When seeing Jenny, Grandpa Smith was very happy, and his pale face looked much bloodier and more radiant.
Moore sighed, “Gee, it’s Mrs. Smith who has the magic power. As soon as you came back, the Old Smith was
immediately refreshed, which is more useful than if I had taken care of him for a month.”
“No, Moore, it’s you and Grandpa who do me the honor and spoil me.”
The three of them chatted happily with each other.
Grandpa Smith’s cheerful laughter echoed in the room, and the golden afternoon sunlight sprinkled on the old
man’s soft clothes, gentle and bright.
It had been a long time since Barret had seen such a warm scene.
From this point, he had to thank Jenny well.
Grandpa was more like a big kid when he got older, a little more willful and not very good-tempered.
But Jenny was very patient and had a way of coaxing his grandpa to make him happy every time.
At this point, he, as the grandson, is also ashamed of himself.
When he looked back, he was the only one left in the room, and Jenny was helping Grandpa down the stairs.
What she said was making grandpa laugh.
So, he’s being ignored here.
