Trial Marriage Husband: Need To Work Hard (Book 3)

582

That night, Jackson instructed his assistant to prepare a room in his home for the mother and daughter. As soon as Little Eggshell found out, she was so excited that she clung onto her father and asked, "Is Big Sis coming to be my mom? Is she living with us?"

After hearing these questions, Jackson lifted Little Eggshell onto his lap and explained, "Eggshell, Daddy is simply helping Big Sis at the moment by preventing her and her mommy from getting bullied. She's not coming to be your mommy. At least, not right now. So, be good, behave and don't talk recklessly in front of her, OK?"

Little Eggshell thought for a moment before she placed her hands on her hips and replied, "For the sake of Daddy's happiness, I will be patient."

As he looked at his daughter's cheeky actions, Jackson didn't know whether to laugh or cry...

But, it was because she was such a precious little gem that he couldn't bare to leave her side. If he had to pick between revenge and his daughter...he would pick his daughter without any hesitation.

Afterwards, Jackson tucked his daughter into bed.

But, when he headed back to his bedroom to wash up and go to bed, the events that day, continuously played over in his head.

Ashley's situation, her reactions, her emotions...

He saw her clearly in his mind and couldn't erase it...

In fact, he was even worried that she was currently upset at the hospital.

...

"Ashley...are you still angry?" Mother Su asked after noticing her daughter's silence. "Are you?"

"Mom, how could you tolerate it?" Ashley asked with a choked up voice as she lifted her head. "How could you stand being tormented in this way?"

"How many years has it been since I became paralyzed? What haven't I experienced? There's nothing to be angry about. After all, there's nothing I can do," Mother Su said in self-ridicule. "I simply need to protect you and ensure your safety. Everything else is not important."

"Mom, I'll definitely get revenge for you."

Mother Su smiled, but she did not respond. Everything she did, was simply to make her daughter's life better.

At present, Jackson seemed like he fit her criteria for a son-in-law. So, all she hoped for now, was for the two to naturally end up together.

The next morning, Ashley woke up to the sound of her phone ringing. It was a phone call from her auntie. Ashley immediately woke up and walked out into the hospital corridor to answer it, "Ashley...your father told you to come back for a bit."

"I'll be right there," Ashley replied unhappily as she hung up and returned to the room.

"Who called?" Mother Su asked.

"Mom, I'm going to go to work. I need to drive Jennie's kids to school. After I'm done, I'll come back to take care of you," Ashley explained as though nothing had happened.

"Go ahead," Mother Su said as she waved her hand. "If I have any problems, I'll call the nurse."

As soon as Ashley stepped out of the hospital, she flagged down a taxi and headed straight over to the Su Family Home. But, Jackson had been waiting outside the hospital since early in the morning. So, as soon as he saw Ashley rush out, he immediately followed behind.

...

As soon as she stepped into the family home, Ashley saw her and her mother's luggage sitting in the middle of the living room.
