Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 108

The atmosphere becomes tense.

Jenny clearly feels that there is cold sweat on her forehead.

“It’s not Movie World,” Luke’s cool voice breaks the silence.

Jenny looks up at Luke, thinking that, am I caught in a lie by him?

Luke gives her a once-over, then looks at grandma. His tone is gentle, but without too much emotion,

“Half a year ago, I was preparing to acquire Jade Picture and sent Tom to investigate the assets and profitability of it. The best part to start with were those new stars. At the party of making new signings in Jade Picture, it was my first time to meet Jenny.”

At this point, he pauses for a moment, and looks at Jenny’s side face, “It’s only that she doesn't know, so the meeting in Movie World is actually the second time.”

“Such a good liar!” Jenny thinks secretly.

Sky doesn’t keep asking. Instead, it is grandma who starts to guess and tries to get to the bottom of their love story, “did you have a crush on Jenny at first sight at the party, so you followed her to Movie World later?”

Luke nods his head without any facial expression, which makes Jenny laugh out loud.

“So you courted Jenny first, right?”

“...” Nodding.

"You courted Jenny a long time, but she didn’t accept. So you decided to let her have your baby so that she had no choice, right?”

“...” Luke hesitates for a moment and nods.

“Good boy, you are like your grandpa when he was young.”

“...” Keeping nodding.

What? There seems to be something wrong.

Jenny looks at granny who is smiling like a flower. She seems to find out some secret things.

In those days, did grandpa get grandma pregnant so as to court her successfully?

Luke notices that the little woman on his side looks at grandmother curiously. She looks like a cat that has found dried fish which is really cute.

He smiles subconsciously and doesn’t realize how warm the smile is.

But it’s all in sky’s eyes.

She clenches her fists under the table, her face looks stiff, but still keeps a perfect smile.

It is very late after dinner, but Sky doesn’t plan to leave at all. She sits down and drinks tea, and suggests that she should accompany granny to go for a walk in the yard.

“It’s windy today. I would get a headache if walking outside. Maybe we should go for a walk next time. Now, I’m sleepy. I need to have a rest.”

Intentionally or not, grandma refuses.

Jenny looks at outside subconsciously.

It is not windy but a fine day.

Hearing that, she stands up to accompany granny to bedroom to have a rest.

“Grandma, you should have more rest. Just go, don’t worry about us. I can talk with Luke for a while.”

Sky smiles, and does not put her obvious refusal in heart.

Grandma goes back to her room and Jenny is with her. The nannies are in the outside. Now there are only two of them left in the living room.

Granny winks at Jenny and tries to imply that she should stay.

But Jenny seemingly doesn’t get the point, she puts the shawl on her arm, then holds granny’s arm, “let’s go, and I can finish the joke that I told you last time.”

Mrs. Lu looks at Sky who is sitting on the sofa chatting with Luke happily, and then looks at the girl holding her. She is worried.

It’s hard to go back on her words. So grandma just goes back to room in a hurry. As soon as grandma lies down, she urges Jenny to go back quickly.

But Jenny lingers in the bedroom tucking in the corner, adjusting the height of her pillow, and checking to see if the window is closed, she just doesn’t leave.

“Oh, Jenny,” Mrs. Lu gets anxious, sits up and leans against the bed, looking at Jenny worriedly, “you should go to the living room right now.”

Jenny is stunned. After pulling the curtains, she turns around and asks, “why?”

“Accompany the guests. You are the hostess. It’s not proper to accompany me here.” It’s not easy to say too directly.

“No need,” says Jenny, hesitating, as if she is worrying about something, “They get along well, and I don’t know how to cut in.”

“You must do that.”

Mrs. Lu says seriously, “you should keep an eye on your own husband. Although this is a bit old-fashioned, but it is the truth. Although I can trust Luke, you should know that there are many snakes. You can’t trust anybody easily.”

Grandma has never talked to her so seriously. She has no response for a while and doesn't know what to do.

Perhaps realizing that she is too harsh, and considering that Jenny is pregnant, Mrs. Lu slows down her tone and sighs, “I am not blaming you. I just want to tell you that women should strive for themselves. If you do not do anything. It will inevitably make men feel that you don't care about him. Got it?”

Jenny nods without totally understanding. Although she doesn’t fully agree with what grandma says, she knows that it is for her sake.

In fact, even if grandma doesn’t talk about it, she can feel that Sky has a different relationship with Luke. From the series of things since Sky’s returning home like Sky takes away her resources to record the same show with her and implying Luke to coerce her, everyone can feel her hostility towards Jenny.

Jenny thinks that she doesn’t have any intersection with Sky before. If there is something to trigger her hostility, it must be Luke.

Before leaving the room, grandma worries that she will think much about it, so she couldn’t help but remind Jenny, “Luke’s engagement with Sky has long been canceled. Even if it doesn't, now no one would take the engagement made when they were kids seriously. You don't have to worry about it. If you still do, you can ask Luke’s opinion.”

The engagement is long overdue, and Sky can only be regarded as his ex fiancee.

When Jenny thinks of that she has married with Luke and that she is his legal wife, she feels a little more confident.

The sound of the living room is getting closer. It sounds like Sky’s solo. Luke’s voice can be hardly heard.

He has always been reticent, and it seems that it is no exception to Sky.

“You guys have chatted for such a long time. Let me ask Harley to cut some fruit for you.”

Jenny doesn’t know what to say. She says this when she thinks of her grandma’s words that she is the hostess.

Hearing her voice, Sky raises her head with amazement, but she soon recovers and wears a smile, “great, thank you. Please wash more raisins. Luke likes it.”

She turns her position from the guest to the hostess.
