Chapter 60: She Is Already My Wife
"Auntie, I will greet Grandpa first." He left without waiting for her response.
"Happy birthday Grandpa. I’m sorry I did not prepare a gift. But with your power and riches, what else would you lack?" Jax intentionally spoke in a loud voice so everyone heard him.
"Hello Father, I haven’t seen you in a long time." He greeted the middle-aged man sitting to the right of his grandfather impolitely.
"You rascal! Why are you here?" George narrowed his eyes as he looked at Jax.
"Grandpa you hurt my feelings. Of course, it is your birthday so I am here to greet you. Am I not your ’favorite’ grandson? After all, I am your ’only’ grandson from your firstborn." He laughed but there was no laughter in his eyes.
"Now that you have greeted Dad, go greet your mother and your siblings." Jaime Lee commanded him in a domineering tone.
"She is not my mother." Jax retorted angrily.
"What’s with the attitude? Show respect to your elder." Grandpa Lee put down the glass he was holding with a bang.
"I’m sorry Grandpa. I’ll go now and greet Sofia and my siblings." Jax always called his stepmom on a firstname basis. He turned to leave but pivoted as if he remembered something.
"Congratulations on your marriage cousin. You are so secretive. I bet even Grandpa did not know about it?" He sneered before walking towards the table of his stepmom and half-siblings.
An awkward silence ensued after Jax revealed that Erik was married.
