Chapter 169

Although Sylvia didn't know what Jenna wanted to do, she

unconsciously became gentle with this girl, saying, "Jenna, what do you

want to say? Just take your time. It won't cost a lot. And your uncle can

absolutely afford the phone bills.”

Jenna was amused by what Sylvia said, and then she was not so

nervous.

Instead of stammering, she said, “I would like to invite you to sketch

with me in the countryside. Is that okay?"

Jenna was very surprised.

She finally said it!

She heaved a sigh of relief.

And her back was all sweaty.

She raised her hand and gave Aldo a mischievous smile, like a kid who

was asking for praise.

Aldo couldn't help but raise his hand and rub the top of the girl's hair.

"Good job."

Sylvia glanced at Kira, but she didn't want to refuse Jenna.

It took Jenna a lot of effort and courage to make this call, so Sylvia's

refusal would definitely disappoint Jenna.

"What's wrong?" Franklin raised an eyebrow at Sylvia. He had vaguely

heard their conversation.

He knew Jenna liked Sylvia very much.

But he didn't know the reason.

"Jenna invited me to sketch with her. But I can't leave Grandma alone

here." Sylvia was a bit hesitant.

Jenna was not unreasonable. Hearing Sylvia's words, she forced a

smile and hurriedly said, "Miss Andrews, it doesn't matter if you are not

available."

"Sibbie, you don't have to worry about me. There are so many nurses

here," Kira said with a smile, "It's best to have Franklin with you. I will

be relieved with him protecting you two girls.”

Words failed Sylvia.

Franklin glanced at Kira with satisfaction. He did like this old woman.

He would try his best to be good to her in the future.

After all, he didn't want Sylvia to go alone and get close to Aldo, who

was still single.

Aldo was completely unaware that he was seen as a love rival by

Franklin.

In the face of Kira, Sylvia couldn't drive Franklin away.

She had no choice but to agree, not leaving until she instructed the

caregiver in detail.

Jenna was dressing in the cloakroom.

With a wide smile on her face, she was over the moon.

"Aldo, do I look good in this?"

Jenna was wearing a white T-shirt with a pair of cropped trousers,

which revealed her snow-white and slender calves.

These highlighted her slender figure.

She looked perfect!

Seeing this, Aldo could not help but swallow.

“You look gorgeous.”

“But I don't know if Miss Andrews will like this.” Hearing what Aldo said,

Jenna was a little shy.

Aldo was happy and a little jealous. Before Jenna met Sylvia, Jenna

cared about nobody but him.

But now, Jenna liked Sylvia very much.

But thinking of Sylvia's patience with Jenna, Aldo was relieved again.

Fortunately, Sylvia was a woman rather than a man.

Otherwise, he would be very anxious and worried.

After Aldo and Jenna got out of the checkroom, Aldo held Jenna's hand

as usual and went downstairs.

"Where are you going?" A shrill voice shocked Aldo.

Aldo looked towards the sofa in the living room, only to see a woman

sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and a cup of tea in her hand,

staring at them.

"Mom? What brings you here?" Aldo frowned.

“I don't think I need to tell you in advance before I come.” Mrs. Carson

impatiently glanced at Jenna, who was a real pain in the ass for her.

Jenna timidly greeted Mrs. Carson, "Good day, madam."

She was afraid of Mrs. Carson.

Ever since she was adopted by Aldo, Mrs. Carson always gave her the

cold shoulder.

Mrs. Carson rolled her eyes and ignored Jenna, saying to Aldo, “Zaire's

daughter is back from abroad, so I need you to invite her for a meal

tomorrow and show her around Larro.”

"Mom, I haven't seen her for over ten years, and I don't want to

entertain her." Aldo was a little annoyed.

“You are twenty-eight years old and not young anymore. Alex could

even walk when your brother was as old as you. Now, Alex is twelve,

but you're still single!" Mrs. Carson stood up from the sofa in anger.

"You must do as I say tomorrow! It took me a lot to get this opportunity

for you. The Chan family enjoyed a higher status in Larro, so its

daughter deserves you!"

Mrs. Carson even wanted to point at Jenna and asked Aldo whether he

kept single for Jenna.

But Mrs. Carson didn't do so.

She didn't like Jenna at all, but she couldn't show this before Aldo.

Jenna, without a powerful background, would be a burden to Aldo.

Jenna grew increasingly beautiful these years and no man could resist

her charm.

However, she was ill, and she was even absent from school. Mrs.

Carson didn't want such a daughter-in-law. That was too shameful.

Only the girls with a noble background could marry into the Carson

family.

And Jenna could only serve Aldo as a maid.

Nonetheless, Aldo favored nobody but Jenna. At first, Mrs. Carson

didn't care about it.

However, Aldo was even unwilling to get married.

Mrs. Carson was angry, anxious, and worried.

And Jenna became an eyesore.

If Jenna had no disease and was well-educated, Mrs. Carson would put

up with Jenna's being her daughter-in-law.

However, that was impossible. Jenna was just a homeless girl.

Mrs. Carson would never accept her.

Therefore, Mrs. Carson made up her mind to separate Aldo and Jenna.

As long as Jenna was here, it would be impossible for Aldo to get

married.

Mrs. Carson knew she must drive Jenna out.

"Mom, Jenna has a show at the National Day gala of the city

government, so I have to accompany her to attend the rehearsal

tomorrow. This is the first rehearsal, so it is very important. I must go

with her.” Aldo directly refused Mrs. Carson.

Mrs. Carson was furious. "She's not a child anymore. You just go out

with Miss Chan tomorrow, and I'll accompany Jenna there."

Hearing this, Jenna got nervous and subconsciously grabbed the

corner of Aldo's coat.

Seeing this, Mrs. Carson became even more furious, “I'm not a

monster. I won't do anything to her."

"Mom, Jenna trusts nobody but me." Aldo said decisively, "You'd better

find another man to entertain Miss Chan."
