Chapter 20 The Ungrateful Son
Alan just came back from his walk and went straight to his study.
Normally he would go back to his room and get in bed. But today was different. He really liked his new granddaughter-in-law.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
He planned to draw her a nice painting as his gift to her.
But Jim was desperately waiting in the study.
So, when he heard someone was opening the door, he barged out and hugged that person.
“Baby, let me kiss you…”
Jim started to take off that person’s clothes.
However, he was slapped hard on the face and he heard Alan yell, “Jim? How dare you!”
Alan turned on the light and Jim was covering his face with his hands. He was sober now.
He stammered, “Grandpa? Why you?”
“Who did you expect to see?” grunted Alan.
Besides Carrie and Louise, Blanca was the only woman in the house.
That bastard wanted to kiss his sister-in-law? Alan was furious.
He picked up a stick and wanted to hit Jim. Jim got up from the ground and started dodging.
He was still drunk and was chased around by Alan. He started sweating and knocked over a bunch of desks and chairs.
Blanca just dried her hair and changed into her robe. Just as she stepped out of the bathroom, she heard something from the outside.
She listened closely for a while and understood what was going on. She couldn’t help sniggering.
And Matthew saw that.
“It’s you?”
He felt it was strange that Alan was hitting Jim. But the moment he saw the look on her face, he knew what happened.
Blanca didn’t lie about it and pouted, “That loving sister of yours deliberately asked me and Jim to go to his room alone for some teacups. Jim was being a jerk. You want me to suck it and let them bully me?”
Though she was young, but growing up in the slum taught her that this was a dog-eat-dog world. If you didn’t fight back, you would be beaten up all the time.
Matthew frowned and his eyes were flaring with anger.
Blanca thought she pissed him off and wanted to explain. But then he said, “Did Jim do anything to you?”
“No. Rest assured; I know how to protect myself.”
She chuckled.
Matthew shook his head. Though his wife never kept it on the low, she was still too naive. Sometimes things were not so simple like child’s play.
He wanted to warn her about this but he felt there was no need to say too much. So, he didn’t.
“I’ll take a shower. You can sleep first.”
Blanca nodded. Hearing the sound of shower, she was relieved and thought maybe he would not touch her. She glanced at the whole room.
There were only a tiny couch and a bed…
How were they going to sleep?
