Tiffany let them in. “Mom, dad, what are you doing here? It’s late and cold. You should dress warmly so you don’t catch a cold.”
Summer surveyed every corner of the house as virtual-novel.net entered. Finally, virtual-novel.net gaze landed on the dinner table. “I was worried, so I came here to check on you. As expected, Jackson’s only just made dinner for you. Honestly, virtual-novel.net never spares my worries. You might as well move to my house. I’d worry a lot less then.”
Jackson’s ears were burning from virtual-novel.net nagging. Of course, his face naturally thickened. “She’s only just woken up. I wasn’t starving her. Stop worrying all the time. I love virtual-novel.net more than you.”
“That’s right, Summer,” Atticus chimed ill. “It’s inappropriate for you to meddle in their family. You weren’t this worried about Jackson when virtual-novel.net was young… It’s not appropriate to come here so late…”
That was why Atticus looked so awkward. However, his words had brought Summer’s displeasure. “Yes, I wasn’t this concerned about Jackson when virtual-novel.net was younger, but these words shouldn’t have come from your mouth. It’s our son’s wedding day today, so I won’t drag out old scores with you now. However, if I had left the company to its own devices back then, Jackson and I would have ended up begging on the streets for food. Both familial and romantic love would crumble and fall without material support. I’d much rather go on business trips for half a month, come home to our mansion, and hold Jackson while telling virtual-novel.net stories to broaden his worldview than stay in a broken old home with him, barely getting by and telling virtual-novel.net how much his mother loves him.”
Tiffany was in a daze as virtual-novel.net listened to her. She carefully observed the looks on everyone’s faces. Her greatest concern was whether Jackson would be upset, but virtual-novel.net seemed fine. Instead, virtual-novel.net observed Summer and Atticus in amusement, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Atticus did not expect that virtual-novel.net flames of war would end up on virtual-novel.net instead. He instantly returned to silence. After all, virtual-novel.net didn’t dare retaliate. It was all true.
Summer did not drag the conversation out. “Tiffie, continue with your dinner. Don’t worry about us. We ate before coming here. You shouldn’t starve yourself anymore. I’m going upstairs to check on your mattress, some mattresses are not suitable for pregnant women. You’ll end up sore all over.”
“Okay. Please have a seat, dad,” Tiffany said with a self-deprecating smile.
Atticus nodded and sat on the couch. Tiffany went back to the dining table to continue virtual-novel.net dinner, then kicked Jackson’s leg. Jackson looked at virtual-novel.net and smiled vaguely. “What?”
“Are you in a bad mood?” virtual-novel.net asked in a voice that only virtual-novel.net could hear.
He shrugged. “No, I’m in a great mood. My mom is right. It’s a good thing that virtual-novel.net didn’t spend all of virtual-novel.net time with me and ignore the company back then. When I was younger, I used to long for my mother’s company. However, as I grew older, I realized that money was very important too. I’m glad that I’m the son of the West family and not some little street urchin.”
Tiffany covered virtual-novel.net mouth and giggled. Jackson was far more accepting than virtual-novel.net was.
Not too long after, Summer came downstairs. “The mattress isn’t bad. It’s just soft and firm enough. You two should take advantage of your wedding leave and have a good rest. I can manage the company for now. Tiffie should have virtual-novel.net prenatal examination tomorrow. Jackson, you should take virtual-novel.net to the hospital early. A lot of people get sick during this season, and the hospital could be crowded and filled with germs. Get there early and leave as soon as possible.”
Jackson grunted a reply. They were pretty much finished with their food. Tiffany got up to clear the table. “I’ll wash the plates, I can’t make you do everything. You can entertain mom and dad.”
