Chapter 439 Your Emotions Can Affect the Fetus
The next second, Jaylon's gentle blame came into her ears, "Clumsy- handed."
The waitress thought that Jaylon was talking about her and was about to apologize again.
Reina realized that Jaylon was talking about her. She comforted the
waitress with a few words and then let her out.
Reina picked up the spoon that Jaylon had put in her soup bowl, but she did not use it at once. She asked Jaylon, "Don't you need it?"
Jaylon said lightly, "I don't like eating soup."
"Oh," Reina responded and then continued to eat quietly. She did not notice the strange eyes of the others at the dining table.
During the meal, Reina was still not used to the atmosphere here. She wanted to go out for some fresh air, so she said that she needed to go to the restroom and left.
After Reina left, the harmonious atmosphere at the dining table instantly became serious.
Just now, to take care of Reina's mood, the whole family became very gentle. Now Reina went out, the others just stopped pretending.
Carlee was the first to ask, "Jaylon, what is your relationship with Ms. Harward?"
Carlee knew that her son was not a serious neat freak, but he was not the type of man who would lend his spoon to others.
Just now, Jaylon's movements and tone were extremely natural as if he had been with Reina together for a long time.
If Jaylon said that they two had nothing to do with each other, Carlee would not believe it at all.
Jaylon hadn't intended to keep it a secret from his family, so he said, "We used to be together." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Anaya asked, "And now?"
"We are planning to be together."
"Then, what about the engagement between you and Nadia?"
"It will be fulfilled as scheduled."
Anaya was silent.
Carlee immediately cursed, "Scum!"
Leonard said to his wife, "There must be some misunderstanding in between."
Then Leonard turned to look at Jaylon. "Jaylon, tell us in specific. Which one are you going to give up, the engagement with the Hornsby family, or Ms. Harward?"
"Neither," Jaylon said as he sat up straight, without any guilt.
Leonard did not curse him, but he picked up a chair on the side and was about to hit Jaylon.
Carlee scolded, "Sit down!".
Leonard hesitated for a few seconds. Then his tall and strong body which was like a big brown bear sat back in the chair. He looked at Jaylon angrily.
Carlee tried her best to calm down and asked Jaylon, "You are not going to give up either of them. What does it mean?"
Jaylon said calmly, "It means literally.
"The marriage between the Malpas family and the Hornsby family is just to maximize the benefits. Nadia and I have discussed and agreed not to disturb each other after we get married.
"Even if I marry Nadia, it won't affect the feelings of Reina and me."
Carlee closed his eyes, "Leo, pick up the chair!"
Leonard didn't know what to say.
Didn't you stop me from teaching Jaylon a lesson just now? he thought.
Anaya asked, "Well, that's what you think. But have you considered Reina's feelings?
"She is a girl. Will you let her be with you without status for the rest of her life?
"Even if you are willing to, is she?"
Jaylon stated in a deep voice, "She is."
Anaya did not believe his words at all. "Is she willing, or did you force her to
be willing?"
Previously, at Aracely's birthday, Anaya had faintly sensed that Jaylon was somewhat aggressive toward Reina.
Back then, Anaya was not very familiar with Reina and Jaylon, and she did not know about the past between them either. So she did not say anything.
Now that Anaya thought of it, she was certain that Jaylon was indeed overbearing toward Reina.
Jaylon didn't answer Anaya's question.
Anaya got the point and then had a bit of anger on her pretty face. "Do you
know that you will make Reina painful by doing this?"
"She will get used to it."
He said that Reina would get used to it. That was to say, Jaylon was aware
that Reina would be in pain before her thoughts changed.
Anaya said in a deep voice, "If you are like this, Reina will leave you sooner
or later."
Jaylon said confidently, "She can't run away."
Anaya never knew that Jaylon, her brother, who treated her well, had such
an unreasonable side. She felt very angry.
Hearst silently patted Anaya on the back to help her calm down. "Don't be angry. Your emotions can affect the fetus."
Anaya was still extremely angry. Suddenly, she noticed that Hearst had
helped her peel many prawns without a word. After a moment of silence,
Anaya asked him, "Did you wipe your hands?"
She couldn't bear that Hearst touched her clothes without wiping his hands.
Hearst silently retracted his hand that was on her back. "Sorry."
Seeing that Anaya had been misled, Carlee took the topic and continued,
"Jaylon, you have never let me worry. Why did you do such a thing this
time?
"Reina is a girl. If you do so, you will delay her for a lifetime.
"If you love her, just make it clear to the Hornsby family, cancel the
engagement, and live a life well with Reina.
"Our family does not lack money. Even if we don't connect with the Hornsby
family by marriage, there will be no problem. You and Reina's happiness is
more important."
Jaylon's attitude was unyielding. "I will not give up the marriage with the
Hornsby family."
Indeed, Jaylon did not lack money, but he had ambition.
He was unwilling to stop here. the Hornsby family was a stepping stone for
him to get closer to his goal.
Carlee said patiently, "Then cut off all ties with Reina. Don't delay her to
look for her happiness."
"That's impossible."
Carlee got angry. Leonard picked up the chair again and cursed in a rough
voice, "You bastard..."
Just then, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside.
Seeing this scene, Reina was a little confused. "Mr. Malpas, what are you doing?"
Leonard was quiet for a few seconds before he slowly put down the chair
and sat down. After that, he explained slowly, "I've been sitting for a long
time, so I beat my son to stretch my arms and legs."
Reina was dumbfounded.
Carlee kicked Leonard under the table and said to Reina with a smile, "He is
just kidding. Have a seat and continue to eat."
Reina realized that the atmosphere in the private room was a little strange,
but she did not ask. She sat down and continue to have dinner.
After dinner, Jaylon was going to send Reina home.
Carlee stopped him and turned to Anaya, saying, "Ana, you and Jared send
Ms. Harward back home by the way. I need to talk to Jaylon."
Carlee believed in free parenting, but she didn't expect her son's vision of
love to be distorted like this. As a mother, she needed to talk to her son.
Anaya nodded and called Reina to leave together.
Hearst was the driver, while Anaya and Reina sat in the back seat.
Anaya had not thought of an appropriate way to talk to Reina about Jaylon's
thoughts. Just then, Reina spoke.
"Ana, did Jaylon tell you about the matter between him and me in the
private room just now?"
Reina had a calm expression on her face when she spoke. It was as if she was discussing something that had nothing to do with her.
If Anaya hadn't noticed that Reina tightly gripped the hem of her clothes,
she might have believed that Reina's inside was as calm as seemingly.
"Yes, he did." Anaya nodded.
Reina's face turned pale at this. "Including what happened between me and him when I was studying abroad?"
