Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 129

“I’m not forced by my parents, I just prefer…”

She was accepted by the university ahead of time when she was still in high school. Thereafter she had several months when she didn’t have anything to do. Her father had a friend who was the assistant director and recommended her to the director. Her parents accompanied her for the audition and other than filming, she didn’t do anything else. If it’s because of the money, she was only paid ten thousand for acting in the film.

At that time, she was just a newcomer.

“Do you like it?” Tracy frowns and looks at her, “I mean, you youngsters should have concentrated and studied properly. You’re parents also didn’t guide you, right? Had you been serious with your studies…”

“Missus, Madam, and Master are here.”

The knock of on the door interrupts Tracy’s critical teachings.

Jenny lifts her head to look at the door, Luke is in a black suit holding on to grandma as she walks in. Grandma is wearing a green jacket, with a red ruby necklace, not one hair is out of place. She is not her usual jovial self and looks very stern.

“What’s there to eat outside, keep bothering me to come out. Tracy, aren’t you too formal about this? We are all family, don’t make a big fuss over it.”

Tracy hurries to her feet and welcomes, “Mom, it’s troublesome to clean up and we have guests. It’s difficult for us to cook and there are more choices if we dine outside. Come, please seat beside me.”

Grandma waves her hand and takes off her jacket and passes it to her. She then walks towards Jenny, “What guests, we’re all family, where’s the guest, I’ll seat here.”

Before she takes her seat, it looks like grandma sees Sky opposite and is slightly surprised. She smiles cheekily and looks at Jenny, “I didn’t know that Sky is here, then Tracy is right, there is a guest.”

Jenny pours a cup of tea for grandma and didn’t speak.

Sky’s expression changed and looks embarrass.

Tracy sees it.

Luke looks at his mother and takes over grandma’s jacket from her and passes it to the waiter. He then walks to Jenny and sits beside her. He was a seat away from Sky.

It is a small private room with a table for eight. Now there are five people seated. Luke and Sky are separated by a seat and two seats by the door were empty for the waiter to serve the dishes.

But this seating arrangement appeared to exclude Tracy and Sky.

Tracy looks at Luke, frowns, and is about to say something but Sky pulls her hand, “Everyone’s here, have them serve the dishes.”

She looks at Sky, ponders, pulls back her hand, and suppresses her unhappiness.

She didn’t know what to say and feels that she cannot be compared to Sky who she personally brought up.

It was obvious to anyone that grandma likes her very much.

Tracy keeps thinking that some things just need to be said she considers carefully before saying, “I heard that Jenny’s parents had passed on, I wonder if there are any relatives and friends?”

Jenny is surprised and looks at Luke.

“Why are you asking this? We are eating now, why are you hurting this kid?”

Grandma feels that it is inappropriate and glares at her own daughter-in-law.

Tracy’s expression changes and tones herself down, “Mom, didn’t you mention that you want the marriage to be done as soon as possible? We need to invite guests to the marriage. We can’t accept that none of her relatives attend the marriage, how will it look on that day?”

Grandma frowns and feels that there is some truth in this line of reasoning. She lowers her voice and asked Jenny, “Jenny, I keep hearing that you don’t have any relatives, then are there anyone else?

“I have relatives from the father’s side.” Jenny bites her lips and says, “but we have not contacted for a long time.”

Normally when someone says this it is because of some problems in the family that cannot be shared outwardly and grandma didn’t pursue it. In her heart, she cares deeply for Jenny, pats the back of her hand and asks her to eat.

Tracy is unhappy and didn’t want the matter to rest, “Why don’t you contact them? Aren’t they also your relatives? Aren’t you concerned over them?”

Jenny started to turn pale.

“What’s so surprising about it?” The sullen man on one side says and cuts off his mother. His voice was cold and distant, “Our relatives and I don’t communicate that regularly also.”

Tracy’s expression changed and said anxiously, “How can it be the same? Aren’t you the one who doesn’t want to interact with them? Your cousins come to visit your dad and me whenever they are in town. It’s even more frequent than you going home.

“Not familiar.” The two words cause the atmosphere to turn awkward.

Grandma smirks and laughs. She dishes a bowl of soup for Jenny and whispers to her, “Don’t listen to them, come, drink some soup.”

Jenny bows slightly and nods. She carefully receives the bowl and takes small sips of the soup.

With Luke’s response, Tracy lost all interest in questioning her. Thereafter she didn’t say anything to spite nor embarrass her. She continues to chat happily with Sky and reminisce about the times when she brought her to the military compound to play.

“At that time, when I brought Sky out, the entire military compound and our artists unit said that she was our betrothed bride.”

“Auntie Tracy, this shouldn’t be said now,” Sky laughs politely and looks towards Jenny, “Luke is going to be a father soon. Those shall be our jokes of the past.”

“Others may treat it as a joke but I am serious about it, if it’s not for…”

“Ahem…” Grandma feels uneasy and interrupts. She feels that her daughter-in-law is not behaving properly and says, “What are you talking about? Luke and Jenny are right here!”

Jenny looks uncomfortable and gives an excuse to go to the restroom, escaping the tense situation.

It is said that the relationship between mother and daughter in-laws is the top three most complex problems in the world.

She lathers her hands with soap and looks at herself in the mirror.

With this difficult relationship, it will be difficult to have her help to introduce Yuky. Now it’s already a problem trying to get her to accept her, not to mention requesting her help to link up with anyone else.

She ponders for a while and couldn’t come up with any good ideas. As soon as she hears some chatters moving towards the restroom, she quickly washes and dries her hands and as she walks to the door, she meets Tracy and Sky.

“Auntie, you’re here at the restroom… I’ll go back first.” She says awkwardly.

“No hurry, stay for a while, I have something to say to you.” She says sharply with a stern and condescending tone.
