Chapter 39
****
“Aunt Lena, we need to leave this house right away. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of you. Leave Tia with them and let’s escape while we still have the chance,” Jimmy spoke. Jasper and Sharon looked at him with their mouths opened agape. Even Lena couldn’t help but look at him.
What is this little brat saying? “Shut up or I’ll be forced to leave this bed and come over there to spank your little butt,” Sharon threatened and Jimmy immediately closed his mouth.
He even used his fingers to hold his lips, indicating that he is closing his mouth. “Now what I wanted to say before this little brat’s imagination ran wild is that I’m getting married,” Sharon said.
“To who!!!?,” Lena and Jimmy spoke together. Jasper couldn’t help but sigh. Damn! Can’t she just go straight to the point. Why does she have to twist the words and beat around the bush?
Lena glared at Jasper. This brother of hers is really a blockhead. After all her warnings, he still let Sharon slip away from him. Why can’t his chicken brain comprehend that Sharon is a rare gem?
“Okay, let me say it. Since this drama queen here won’t say anything. Me and Sharon have decided to get married,” Jasper finally spilled the beans.
Jimmy fell down immediately and acted like he had fainted. Everyone stared at him. What is wrong with this small boy? Why is he being so dramatic?
“How…? When…? How…?,” Lena stuttered. She couldn’t form a complete statement. She was still stunned. Her brother is finally responsible for once.
Jimmy noticed that no one came to wake him up so he stood up from the floor. “So we are not getting another devil. Instead we are getting the queen of devils herself,” he murmured. Lena obviously heard him cause she was standing right next to him.
Lena glared at him and hit his forehead. How can this little brat spill so much nonsense? At his age?
Sharon smirked and asked,”What did he say?” Lena was about to talk when Jimmy hurriedly answered,”I said, we are getting a new angel in this family.”
He said that with such an innocent smile that Sharon couldn’t help but look at him suspiciously. She knows there is nothing innocent about this little brat.
He is just like a little devil. “Lena, is that what he said?,” Sharon asked Lena so she could confirm his statement. Jimmy quickly looked at his aunt Lena with an innocent smile and a pleading face expression that clearly says,”Aunt, please don’t tell her. She will kill me with punishments.”
Lena smiled back at him. “You should think before saying nonsense next time. You need discipline,” she thought and she turned to face Sharon.
“He said…,” she couldn’t finish cause Jasper interrupted her. He saw the interactions between her and Jimmy earlier and knows the boy said what he isn’t suppose to say since the boy’s characters are similar to his. So he immediately rescued him.
“We need to plan for the wedding. When do you want to have it, Sharon? Soon or later,” he asked Sharon but he was obviously looking at Jimmy.
Lena squealed happily and the baby in her arms stirred. She quickly stopped her movement. She had forgotten that Tia is still asleep. That baby Tia loves sleeping a lot. Being a baby means no worries.
“Are you the one that will plan my wedding for me?,” Sharon retorted and Jasper turned to her. “Mrs wifey, if I remember correctly, this is also my wedding,” he answered.
Jimmy sighed as he watched the both of them. These are clear signs that they are about to start a silly argument. This is why to him, this marriage will be a disaster.
He turned to Lena and asked,”Aunt, am I old enough to get my own house and live alone?”
Lena looked at him confused. “Why do you want to do that honey?,” she asked puzzled. He turned to the couple exchanging words and said,”I’m afraid that if they get married, this mansion will no longer be safe. It will soon be called the mansion of craziness. No, mansion of drama.”
Lena laughed and said,”Then go and buy your own house with your savings.”
Jimmy was about to dance for joy when he realized something. He looked at Lena and complained,”But my piggy bank only has one thousand dollar note in it and dad won’t let me access my bank account. He says I’m too young.”
“Then buy the house with the one thousand,” Lena replied and Jimmy frowned. Even aunt is acting so mean. Everyone now acts like aunt Sharon.
“I said no pink theme. I don’t want anything pink. Can’t you choose a better colour like blue? How do you want me, the nation’s husband to wear a pink suit? Normal ladies will choose blue for their wedding. Not pink,” Jasper said.
Lena and Jimmy turned back to watch the show. “Are you indirectly saying I’m abnormal? Okay, since I’m abnormal, I want pink theme for the wedding and nothing is gonna change my decision,” Sharon answered.
Jimmy frowned. If she wants pink, that means he will also have to wear a little pink suit. How will his friends react when they see the wedding pictures? His reputation will be completely ruined.
“I agree with dad on this. Aunt, let’s use blue instead. Guys don’t wear pink. It’s too girlish,” Jimmy chipped into the conversation.
Sharon frowned and looked at him before turning back to Jasper. “I swear if you two make me angry. I’ll change the colour of everything in this house to pink and Jasper will pay the designers,” she threatened them.
“Dad, I honestly think you should reconsider your decision now. Aunt Sharon isn’t the one for you. She will just kill us in this house,” Jimmy said and Lena hit his head again. Why doesn’t he know any other thing than spouting out rubbish?
“Sister in-law, I agree with you. Let’s go with baby pink. Don’t mind this two meanies,” Lena supported her.
“Then tell the photographer to not prepare to take a picture of me on that day. Cause I’m definitely wearing a blue suit to the wedding venue,” Jasper told them and Jimmy nodded.
Lena and Sharon frowned at their fashion sense. How does blue match with pink? “You won’t dare,” Sharon warned.
“Let’s wait and see. Or you pick another colour right now,” Jasper replied with a challenging expression.
“Yes! I vote another colour,” Jimmy said.
“I’m not voting for another colour!,” Lena retorted. Challenge accepted. Who will win?
“How dare you bastard show your face after what you have done!? You actually tried to snatch away all my hardwork!,” Ben shouted as he lost control and gripped Alex’s shirt collar.
Alex only smirked and gently released his hands from the collar. “If you make me too angry, I’ll only offer you half of what I’m supposed to offer you. So respect yourself and let’s talk business,” Alex said.
“What do you want?,” Ben asked even though he feels like he already knows the answer.
“Isn’t it obvious? I want the remaining shares,” Alex replied with that same signature smile that is now very annoying to Ben. Ben balled his hands into fists and tried to control himself from punching the mother f*cker in front of him.
“I am no longer interested in hearing what you have to say. Now leave!,” Ben replied.
“I’m going nowhere. It’s either you sell the shares to me amicably or I take it from you with force,” Alex threatened.
“Are you threatening me!!? Bastard, it’s my father’s company!,” Ben answered.
“I don’t care. Deal or no deal.”
“No deal,” Ben replied.
Alex then sat down and cross his legs. He smiled and said,”I will wait for you to change your mind.”
Ben was just about to say that would never happen when he received a notification. His eyes bulged out as he shouted,”How dare you freeze my finance accounts? Do you have the right to do so?”
“Be grateful I didn’t block them instead,” Alex replied haughtily.
“So deal or no deal…,”he continued.
Ben looked a little bit scared but he still said,”No deal.”
Alex smiled again and checked his watch. Just then Ben looked at his phone. Another notification came in. His eyes nearly removed this time as he looked at Alex with great fear now. What type of powerful man has Alex become ⁉️.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
