Chapter 28: Matchmaking Games
Grandpa Harper waved his hand. “Jessie, don’t forget that you two are married. Kevin has always been distant by nature since childhood, but I believe if you make the first move, he won’t respond badly. Besides, I’m waiting to hold a great-grandchild.”
Jessie felt overwhelmed by the pressure. Having a great-grandchild wasn’t that simple.
“Grandpa, I really can’t. Whenever I see him, I don’t feel anything.”
She truly had no such thoughts. Even simply imagining kissing Kevin was enough to make her feel tormented.
Grandpa Harper was momentarily speechless. He remembered that during his own marriage, which was a business arrangement, neither he nor his wife had feelings at first. However, they developed profound feelings over time due to her proactive approach.
"Grandpa, don’t worry. Kevin and I haven’t been married that long, so there’s no need to rush. We can take it slowly."
After all, she only got married to ease Laura’s concerns in the first place.
Grandpa Harper agreed verbally, but he was extremely anxious inside. He had been so eager to bring about this marriage in the first place. He didn’t even ask Kevin’s mother for her opinion and directly made the two of them get a marriage certificate. When he first saw Jessie, he had already decided that she would be Kevin’s wife. If this marriage eventually failed, an old man like him would really lose a lot of face.
“Alright, Grandpa will listen to you both and take it slowly.”
With no other plans for the afternoon, Grandpa Harper simply stayed in Jessie’s store, occasionally chatting with her.
The more he talked with Jessie, the more he liked her.
He found it hard to believe that Kevin would not fall for such a wonderful girl like Jessie.
