Contract Marriage: My Sweet Bossy Wife novel Chapter 28

Jessica had been seriously frightened, but she slept pretty well that night. When she opened her eyes, it was already in the morning.

Jessica stretched herself and closed her eyes. As she moved aside, she felt that the sofa was spacious again. Lorenzo must have left.

Jessica suddenly opened her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and recalled what happened last night. Lorenzo was with her the whole night.

She knew it was Lorenzo, although she hadn't even opened her eyes and looked at him. After all, she was too familiar with Lorenzo's scent. She couldn't have remembered it wrong.

Moreover, no one dared to do that to her under her nose.

Jessica was getting more and more dazed. She had once planned not to get attached to Lorenzo in this marriage.

However, they had not only kissed before, but also slept together last night.

Although nothing had happened between them, she could still feel the chemistry. After all, the night was cold, and the sofa was tiny last night.

Jessica's pretty face blushed instantly. She patted hard on her face to keep herself awake. After getting refreshed in the bathroom, she went to the doctor's office to ask about Rosa's situation. Before returning home, she dropped by the monitor room and didn't feel assured until she saw Rosa's steady heartbeat.

...

"There you are. I've been worried about you. You'll be worn out if you keep commuting from here to the hospital every day. How about getting Rosa here? We've got plenty of rooms here, and we had our family doctors. It will break my heart to see you bustling about every day."

Alina Jackson said with great concern when she saw Jessica walking in. She stood up and hurried over to welcome Jessica.

"Thank you for your concern, but I'm afraid it's not a good time for Rosa to get transferred. The hospital has better medical equipment. Lorenzo has talked to the staff there, and I have nothing to worry about now. I just hope she could wake up early."

Jessica felt warm in her heart. Everyone in the Fletcher family, including Alina, treated him very nicely. They had never been condescending to her, or yelled at her arrogantly.

They treated her like her mother and gave her as much care as they could.

"You're not like other people. You're my beloved granddaughter-in-law! I won't allow anyone to mistreat you, including Lorenzo!"

Alina said with a serious face. Apparently, she liked Jessica very much.

"I totally understand. Please don't worry."

Jessica replied as she nodded, smiling from ear to ear.

"Look at what I've got for you over there!"

Alina pointed to a place nearby.

Woof, woof, woof!

Jessica looked at where Alina pointed at. It was a husky who might just have been weaned. It has black and white fur and blue eyes. The white patterns on the forehead looked like three fires. At first glance, Jessia knew that this dog must be the offspring of those dogs who had won championships.

"Grandma, is that your new puppy?"

The dog was so cute that Jessica felt her heart was about to melt. She loved this dog very much, which reminded her of the one she had had. The dog died because he was too old. Thinking of that, Jessica felt a bit sad.

"Lorenzo cares about you. He knew you'd kept a husky before, but he was gone. So he spared some time in his busy schedule and picked a dog for you. He hopes you like it."

Alina's biggest wish was the young couple could get along with each other well. She wanted them to have her grandchild soon.

Jessica couldn't believe that Lorenzo got this little puppy for her by himself.

She thought Lorenzo was too busy to have a leisurely mood and buy her a dog. Now she was surprised that Lorenzo had done it and kept a secret from her perfectly.

The little husky seemed to like Jessica, too. He jumped over to her feet and wagged his tail. Then he raised his head and seemed to be asking for a hug.

Jessica hurriedly picked the dog up. She kept him in her arms and kissed him again and again happily.

"I've got a gift, too."

Alina said and looked proud. Jessica hadn't noticed that Alina had a box in her hand which said "Tarot Cards".

"How is this? The patterns are so beautiful, aren't they?"

"Wow, they looked special. The drawer must have been inspired by ancient stories."

Lorenzo had given Alina tarot cards as a gift, which was totally out of Jessica's expectations.

"When I was very young, I grew interested in these strange and mysterious things. I've collected plenty of them by myself. This one is a global limited edition, and Lorenzo bought it for me as a gift."

"Does that sound weird to you? My interest in stranger things? I also admired those magicians when I was a child."

Alina was still innocent and curious like a child. Born in a wealthy family, she didn't have many interests in luxury products. Most of her favorites were those mysterious gadgets.

Jessica sometimes found that Alina resembled her mother very much. However, her memory of her mother was from very long ago, and there were many things she couldn't remember.

Jessica only knew that her mother was a very gentle person. She had never seen her mother lose her temper. The woman spoke softly to everyone, and felt as warm as a spring breeze. Thus, even their servants liked her a lot.

Back then, Jessica could feel her father loved her mother very much. She had a very peaceful family.

However, it seemed that peace was only how it looked. Soon, a huge change took place in her family, and everything has changed since then.

Aminah, with her two daughters, suddenly showed up in the Armstrong residence. She occupied Jessica's mother, Erica's house.

Erica died in a very unusual way. Jessica had once had it investigated, but every time she found a clue, it would be cut off.

Jessica's father, Kevin, was soft-hearted. He believed in Aminah's slanderous talks and drove the young Jessica to a faraway place.

Weren't it for that Juliette needed Jessica to replace her at the wedding, Jessica was sure she wouldn't have been back so quickly.

"You've worked hard for a whole day, just go upstairs and take a rest. You don't need to worry about the puppy's food and toys. Lorenzo had already got them prepared."
