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

"If you interfere again, I'm not going to acknowledge you as my grandson anymore!"

After giving his warning, Elder Wang turned around and left Jackson's office. And, judging by his tone, it seemed he was being serious.

Jackson did not attempt to explain anything because he knew that it would mean nothing.

Even Ashley suspected her husband of leaking information to the Manoban Family after she heard that 'The Ant Queen 2' had been suddenly released. But, Jackson returned home with an exhausted expression and shook his head, "It would have been great if I had the courage to do that."

"It really wasn't you?"

Jackson shook his head again, "I already said long ago that Grandfather wouldn't be able to compete against Jennie and Lisa. He just didn't believe me."

"What did Grandfather say to you?"

"Grandfather thought the same way as you did: he thought I leaked information to the Manoban Family."

"Is Grandfather angry?" After saying this, Ashley suddenly realized a huge issue, "Oh no, Little Eggshell's playing at a classmate's house after school today. I'm going to go straight there to pick her up."

"That's not necessary. It's not easy for Little Eggshell to make a friend. Just let her go..." Jackson said as he stretched out his hand to stop Ashley.

"But..."

In the end, reality proved that Ashley's instincts were right. Because, even as night hit, Little Eggshell had not returned home.

The couple sat in the living room with their arms crossed and waited. Finally, they gave the mother of the classmate a phone call. But, the response they got was, "I personally drove Little Eggshell to your front door. Didn't she go inside?"

After hearing this, Jackson jumped up in anger.

Little Eggshell was taken away, right on front of their home.

"Jackson...what do we do now?"

Jackson did not say a word as he pulled out his phone and called his grandfather. His voice was no longer calm as usual. In fact, it was slightly shaky, "Give Cai back to me..."

"To guarantee that you no longer get involved in my plan, Cai will stay with me for a while. After everything is over, I'll naturally return her to you."

"Are you a monster? You won't even let go of your own great-granddaughter?" Jackson asked furiously. "I already told you that the recent incident had nothing to do with me. Nothing!"

"Since you're aware that Cai is my great-granddaughter, then you should know that I wouldn't treat her badly. Let's just leave it at that!"

After saying this, the old man hung up the phone.

"What did your grandfather say?" Ashley asked. "How can we make him return Little Eggshell?"

"He said we have to wait for everything to be over first!" Jackson said in a tired voice.

"I'm seriously wondering if he's got something wrong with his brain!" Ashley said furiously. She then said worriedly, "Little Eggshell is still so young. If she's ​forced to live with such a monster, what are we going to do if she's left with a trauma?"

"Plus, Little Eggshell has a slight cold. Can that monster actually take care of her?"

Seeing the anxious look on Ashley's face, Jackson stretched out his arms and hugged her, "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..."

"What do you have to be sorry about it...?" Ashley cried. "Others should be saying sorry to you. Why are you saying sorry?"

Without their daughter by their side that night, the couple were destined to have no sleep...
