Chapter 24 The Covenant
Jasper was angry, really angry, but he did not say it!
With a gloomy face, he went to the study, took some white paper out and sat down at the dining table to set the rules: “Three chapters of the marriage covenant. Chapter 1: Helena cannot take the initiative to ask Jasper for a divorce.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
In other words: Helena had no right to propose a divorce! Only Jasper could propose the divorce!
Helena slammed the table in protest: “Why should you be the only one to mention it? If you don’t mention it, do I have to be married to you for the rest of my life? Jasper, marriage is marriage, trade is trade, since it’s a trade, there must be a spirit of trade, you can’t make such overbearing terms.”
Jasper’s blood pressure shot up: “What? I’ve humiliated you as your husband?”
Helena asked venomously in return, “You are just a husband worthy nine?”
Jasper, however, grabbed her by the collar and pulled her closer: “Elias said you are obedient. What? Did you give him all your gentleness, but give me your tough tongue?”
“What? Are you jealous?”
Jasper would not say that he was jealous. He let go of her and helped her straighten her collar, saying casually: “Is he worthy of making me jealous? Don’t overestimate him, and don’t overestimate yourself. What kind of woman doesn’t want to marry me? I’m not giving you the right to divorce because I’m afraid you’ll be blinded and fall for the scum again. I’m watching out for you, understand?”
“……” it was a reason that seemed irrefutable.
The first chapter was established, and Jasper went on to write the second chapter: “During the marriage, Helena had to be responsible for Jasper’s three meals a day, and for accompanying Jasper on social occasions as necessary. Outside, Helena needs to earn money to support the family. If someone harasses Jasper, Helena has to be able to fight the mistress and beat the hooligans to ensure Jasper’s personal safety.”
Helena covered her face with both hands, “My retribution is me.” Why did she say those words? He believed in it too!
Jasper won another round and happily continued writing down: “Chapter Three: During the marriage, Helena has the obligation to make Jasper happy, the obligation to help Jasper relieve stress, and the obligation to care about Jasper’s daily work and life.” Paragraph line change: “3. 1: Helena has to abide by the ways of women and is not allowed to have private relationships with men……”
“Wait, wait, wait.” Helena pressed his hand, “What does this 3. 1 mean?”
Jasper was serious: “This is a matter of detail derived from Chapter Three. It’s like making a contract, where a big theme isn’t made clear, and the following is divided into detail clauses to elaborate and explain it in detail.”
Helena responded, “If you can’t think of any more details, do you want to say: “To be continued”? Or maybe a: To know what happens next, please listen to the next time?”
Jasper was amused by her, and all the displeasure he felt just now dissipated.
Last night Joey asked him: why did he have to offend the Bates family because of her? He had only known her for two days, so why did he choose to marry her in a flash? What did he really like about her?
He couldn’t say why, it just felt good!
He was never the one to act on his feelings, he made an exception for her this time and smiled, “Thank you for the reminder, Mrs. Howard. This is unfinished and will be added to gradually later.”
Helena bumped the table with her head, “Jasper, you are so shameless.”
