100. Don’t Shake Hands! Men and Women Shouldn’t be so Intimate
Sammy looked at the two of them being intimate and covered his eyes exaggeratedly. He smiled and pretended to be stupid. “I didn’t see anything. You guys continue!”
As he spoke, he was about to turn around and leave.
“Hugh, get back here.” Alex’s tone contained a smile. “Say hello. This is Jessie, your sister-in
law.”
Only then did Sammy step back again. He put down his hand and turned around to smile at Jessie, revealing a neat row of white teeth. “Hi, sister-in-law. I am Sam…”
“Cough.” Alex covered his mouth with his fist and coughed lightly.
Sammy reacted and quickly changed his words. “Sister-in-law, I am Hugh, Alex’s best friend. I have always wanted to see you.”
Jessie pulled Alex’s hand away from her waist and stood up. She held both hands and smiled sweetly at him. “Hello, I am Jessie. Nice to meet you.”
She had just finished speaking when Alex pulled her into his arms again. He looked at Sammy and said, “Go out after you say hello.”
Before Sammy could go out, another man in an iron grey suit walked in. He had a warm smile on his face. “Sammy, you are so shameless. You called yourself Alex’s best friend. Why don’t you ask Alex if he agreed first?”
Sammy?
Jessie felt that the name sounded familiar.
She remembered the word “Sam” that Hugh blurted out earlier.
Sammy.
The name on the property certificate that the young man had shown them when she rented the house was Sammy.
For a moment, she understood everything.
She couldn’t help but look at the man beside her.
Alex’s gaze also fell on her face. His eyes were very deep, as if waiting for her to react after knowing this.
Jessie did not expect that such an insufferably arrogant man like him would actually put in s o much effort to do such a thing.
Although he lied to her, she could not get angry at all. Her face was slightly hot from being stared at by him and she quickly turned her gaze away.
After Robert finished laughing at Sammy, he walked to Jessie and stretched out a fair and slender hand in a gentlemanly manner. “Hello sister-in-law, don’t listen to his nonsense. I am Alex’s best friend. I am Robert Andara. Nice to meet you!”
“Hello, I am also very happy to meet you.” Jessie was about to get up and shake his hand.
Alex had already pulled her hand back. “You can just see him. Don’t shake hands with him. Men and women shouldn’t be so intimate.”
Jessie was speechless.
His actions stunned his two friends. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that Alex would be so petty.
However, they couldn’t help but shed tears. They felt as if their children had finally grown up.
After the coffee shop closed, because Alex’s friends had come to celebrate the opening of her new shop, Jessie had booked a room for everyone to eat in Cantonese Cuisine next door.
After eating, Jessie went to pay the bill and went out with her wallet. Sammy and Robert both looked at Alex in front of them.
Alex slowly drank the tea after the meal. He had no intention of helping her pay.
Sammy kicked Alex’s calf and said angrily: “Alex, are you a man? Are you really going to let sister-in-law pay for the bill?”
Alex dodged very quickly, and Sammy’s kick missed.
Sammy saw that Alex still did not move. He covered his face and sighed. “Your EQ is too low.”
Felix and Fia could not watch it anymore. Felix carefully said, “Dad, if you don’t bring money, can you ask Uncle Sammy and Uncle Robert to lend you some?”
Alex’s handsome face became serious. “You guys go out when you are full!”
The two little fellows pursed their lips and did not dare to say anything.
Sally felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward and laughed. “It’s fine. Today you guys came to congratulate our store opening. Jessie should go and pay the bill.”
Sammy and Robert felt even more ashamed.
Jessie had finished paying and returned the man’s wallet to Alex. When she saw the atmosphere on the table was not right, she smiled and asked, “What is it?”
The misunderstood crowd was very embarrassed.
Jessie had recently spent a lot of money to prepare for the opening ceremony. She had also used up all the cash she had on hand. She was just wondering if she should borrow some money from Sally to treat everyone to a meal. Alex’s friends were all rich and powerful people. She would probably spend a lot of money to treat them to a meal. However, just as she
was about to ask Sally to borrow money, Alex threw his own wallet to her.
On the way back, the two children fell asleep in the backseat.
Jessie turned her head and looked at Alex who was focused on driving. She smiled slightly and said, “Are you free tomorrow? Can you take me to your house?”
Alex turned his head and looked at her. He looked at the road in front of him again. “Are you willing to move?”
Jessie’s face was slightly red. “I live in the mountains and rivers, and I also live in the Laurent Residence.”
“Okay.” Alex replied calmly.
Although he didn’t have any expression on his face, he could tell from the corner of his lips that he was in a good mood after hearing what she said.
When they arrived at the Tianji Residence, Alex and Jessie each carried a child into the house.
Jessie was just about to get some water to wash the children’s faces and feet when she saw Alex taking the car keys out again.
She realized that he did not take his phone and wallet. She thought that he had forgotten and was worried that he would go out and use it. She quickly took it and chased after him.
When she went out, he had already entered the elevator.
She took another elevator and chased to the underground garage. She saw Alex carrying something out from the back of the car.
When she got closer, she found that Alex had brought out two beautiful and exquisite flower baskets and a large bouquet of roses, which were prepared for her opening for the day.
Because the words Congratulations on the opening of Felixia Coffee Shop were written on the board next to the flower basket.
“You clearly prepared the flower basket and flowers, why didn’t you give them to me?” She walked over and pretended to be angry.
When Alex saw her, his usually cold and handsome face revealed a trace of embarrassment H e picked up those things and strode towards the rubbish bin. “You think too much!”
Jessie quickly ran over and stopped him, “Don’t throw them away, put them back.”
Alex looked at her.
Jessie reached out to carry it and smiled. “Take it to my store tomorrow.”
The things were quite heavy. Her slender arms could not hold him at all, but she still struggled to hold him.
Alex was silent for a few seconds. He reached out to grab it again and put it back in the trunk of the car.
Jessie ran over and stood on her tiptoes. She quickly kissed his face and blushed. “I like it very much, thank you!”
After making an appointment with Alex to go to Laurent family Residence at night, Jessie went to buy a meeting gift for Grandpa Rudolf and Grandma Restall during the day.
After a few interactions with Grandma Restall, Jessie could roughly guess Old Madam’s preference.
She specially bought her a set of fashionable clothing for young women. Remembering that Fia previously said that her grandfather liked to take photos, she also bought a white casual suit for the Old Master.
After passing by the children’s clothing store and seeing the clothes hanging inside, she couldn’t help but go in and buy another set.
Donglan Golf Club.
When they heard that Grandpa Rudolf was playing golf here, several people who knew him ran over to the court to greet him.
Yura’s Mother also went and smiled as she carefully greeted him, “Elder’s body is really tough. That ball just now was much better than many young people.”
Garndpa Rudolf and Yura’s Father had met before in the business world and could be considered to be familiar with each other. He replied to her and handed the cue stick to the caddy. After saying goodbye to her, he walked towards the club.
Yura’s Mother raised her eyebrows and quickly followed him.
When he went to change his clothes, she deliberately pulled another madam nearby. She suppressed her voice and changed her voice, “Have you heard? The Mumen Group’s president, Alex, finally has a
girlfriend now.”
“Is that so? Which family’s daughter has such good luck?” Everyone in Mumen Group was excited about president’s gossip, and madam was no exception.
Yura’s Mother lowered her voice again. “If his girlfriend was the daughter of a rich family, how could we not know about it? I have been in a hurry to find a girlfriend for him in Laurent family because his girlfriend came from a humble background and was a divorced woman. That was why Alex kept it a secret, and not many people knew about it.”
“What? Boss Alex’s girlfriend was a woman with a humble background, a divorced woman? Although he had divorced, he still had two children with him. However, with the Laurent family’s background and status, there were many women who wanted to marry him. How could he let such a woman marry him? This is ridiculous!” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“That’s right. If they were to hold a wedding, Laurent family’s reputation would be ruined.”
“That’s impossible. It’s probably just a rumor. How is that possible?”
“That’s right. Actually, I don’t believe it either. It might really be a rumor. I just heard about it, s o I was just casually chatting with you.”
“Then you’d better not talk about it anymore. If the Laurent family finds out that we are spreading unbelievable news everywhere. The Laurent family will take revenge on us!”
After that madam left, Yura’s Mother cleared her throat and smiled coldly towards the men’s locker room. She also turned around and walked out quickly.
When Grandma Restall received the news that Alex was going to bring her back, both of them had already there.
“Auntie, I came to see you.” Jessie shyly called her auntie and Grandma Restall was instantly very excited.
She held Jessie’s hand and sobbed, “It is good that you are here!”
Seeing that they had finally come, she finally believed that her son was really going to marry a wife.
“Alex, you’re too much. You didn’t even tell me before coming here, so I can make some preparations.” She couldn’t help but complain to Alex. She also ordered Nanny Lisa and the others to quickly add more food.
“Auntie, you are welcome.”
“I’m not being polite. We will be a family in the future, and we will not treat each other as outsiders. It’s a rare occasion for me to be happy today, so I have to add more food!” As she spoke, Old Madam still immediately let Nanny Lisa and the driver go out to buy vegetables.
When Jessie came, the nervousness on the road dissipated and she was very touched.
The room was hot. Alex helped Jessie take off her trench coat and jacket. He then took the things she bought and his jacket and gave them to the maids.
Grandma Restall saw that her son, who had always been proud and arrogant, had never seen him take a bag for her ever since he married Gina. But now, he was so considerate as to take off Jessie’s clothes. She felt even more gratified in her heart.
Grandma Restall went to the study to make a call.
Alex brought Jessie to see his room.
The big room was dark and the design was full of craftsmanship.
However, Jessie was not in the mood to look at Alex’s room at the moment. She complained softly, “I said I should bring Felix and Fia here. If the children were here, their grandparents
would definitely be happier.”
Alex was taking off his suit and jacket. “Why should we take care of the children when we are talking? They will cause trouble!”
“Meeting with our family and having dinner together. What else do we need to talk about other than these?” Alex cast a sidelong glance at her. “Our marriage.”
