Chapter 017 Barret Was Jealous

“I told her,” Barret admitted decisively and directly.

Jenny smiled bitterly, having guessed it but still wanting to hear it from him in person.

“Barret, are you that impatient? I have promised you that I will mention the divorce to Grandpa after his

birthday, and then I will get the marriage certificate and household register back. You don’t need to

remind me so deliberately, and I won’t forget.”

Jenny’s eyes were red when she finished speaking.

Jenny felt so bad like marble was rolling over and over in her heart.

If he wanted her to get the household register and marriage certificate, he could have told her clearly

and plainly.

But why didn’t he tell her by himself?

Barret looked at her and felt a little guilty. It was not intentional on his part, but it did start

because of him.

Yesterday, Laura woke up crying very sadly and jumping into his arms. She said she was very

scared and afraid she would not be able to see him if she died.

So, Laura proposed that they could register for marriage first, and have a wedding after Barret’s family

had accepted her.

“Laura, we can’t register for marriage now.”

“Why, Barret? Do you know how scared I was when I was in a car accident and fell into a coma? I was

afraid that if I died, I would never be your bride and never be able to marry you.”

“The marriage certificate and household resister are in grandpa’s custody. Without those, I can’t be

able to divorce Jenny and marry you.”

Barret accidentally slipped out when he explained to Laura.

He didn’t expect Laura would take it to heart and require Jenny to take the certificates.

For the rest of the way, Jenny was very silent, and she lay by the window, quietly staring at the flashing

scenery outside the window.

The Smith family’s old house was in a nice place away from the downtown area. It was

surrounded by green hills and beautiful scenery.

In fact, if being looked at closely, the mountains here were quite similar to those behind her

house when she was a child.

How time flew. It had been ten years in a flash.

Since she was away from home, she had stayed with the Smith family and she had loved Barret for ten

years.

During the ten years, in a woman’s most beautiful and youthful time, she had given all her love to

the same man.

But now?

Jenny stretched out her fingers and counted carefully, today, tomorrow, the day after.

The day after tomorrow would be grandpa’s birthday.

As soon as the day after tomorrow was over, they would go for a divorce.

So, from now on, they only had three days left to be a couple.

If possible, she wished that these three days would never be over.

With counting her fingers, Jenny became sleepy.

Probably because she was too tired this morning, she fell asleep as soon as she got down.

Soon, she felt a warm, strong hand on her shoulder, and Barret’s soft voice rang in her ear, “Are you

sleepy?”

In a daze, she seemed to be carried into his arms.

His arms were really wide and comfortable.

Jenny closed her eyes and squeezed in Barret’s arms. Then she found a comfortable position

and fell asleep.

When she woke up, she felt that the scenery in front of her was moving, even the white clouds floating

were the same.

What happened?

The next moment, Barret’s voice rang out overhead: “Wake up!”

Jenny fixed her eyes and realized that she was in Barret’s arms, being carried by him in walking, no

wonder she felt that the things in front of her eyes were close at one moment and far at

another.

Jenny reached out and pounded her head, really drowsy.

“How long have I been asleep?” Jenny asked.

“I didn’t do the math, but you really sleep like a little lazy pig.”

Who was a little lazy pig?

She’s a sleeping beauty even when she’s asleep, okay?

“Then you are a big lazy pig.” Jenny retaliated defiantly.

When they almost arrived at the entrance of the hall, Jenny suddenly remembered that she was still

being held by Barret, so she quickly said, “We’re almost home, so put me down.”

“Why?” Barret laughed, “Isn’t that what Grandpa would like to see? Don’t you want to make him

happy?”

She did want to make grandpa happy, but not in this way.

The more so, Barret was just acting and she didn’t want him to hug her with such a harmful

purpose.

Seeing that they were getting closer to home, Jenny was in a hurry, but Barret was as steady as a

mountain, very calm, without a trace of panic.

“Put me down now!”

Jenny punched Barret in the chest, indignant.

“Come on, Barret.”

“Come on, it’ll be too late if you don’t put me down.”

Barret looked down at Jenny’s little red lips and saw her chattering without stop.

For some reason, Barret suddenly got carried away and said, “If you give me a kiss, I’ll put you down.”

Before he was about to regret it, the words came out of his mouth.

“What?” Jenny also froze.

During the two years of marriage, they never usually kissed each other except when they were having

intercourse as a couple.

And they were about to get divorced, and it would be even more inappropriate to kiss again at this time.

Seeing Jenny hesitate, for some reason, Barret felt very hard inside.

He let go of his hand and directly put Jenny on the ground, saying coldly, “Nothing. I was just testing

you and I didn’t expect that you loved that man so much.”

Jenny was confused, “So, the words he just said were simply teasing me? But he seemed to be

jealous. Big fool. Idiot! The “man” you were talking about was yourself. You were jealous of yourself.”

As expected, even if a man didn’t love his woman, he didn’t allow his woman to think about other men.

And absolutely no one else would be allowed to get involved!

Barret was no exception and he’s very possessive.
