Chapter 46: Argument
Jessie stepped back to shield Luke, and Mandy instantly frowned with displeasure. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed Kevin approaching. His whole demeanor was imposing, leaving her startled.
She quickly changed her expression, putting on a smile as she said, "Oh, Jessie, is this your husband? He’s quite handsome. Which company is he an executive at?"
Just by seeing his posture and demeanor, she could tell he was way better than William.
She initially thought Jessie had married a nobody, but she was surprised that she had managed to get into such a good family. A tinge of jealousy stung at her heart at this thought.
Jessie, however, didn’t show her a pleasant face. Mandy initially tried to bully Luke, but she immediately switched her behavior after seeing Kevin.
Not only Jessie, but even Kevin pretended as if he had not heard anything. He clearly saw how Mandy tried to snatch Luke’s toy for her child, using her status as a guest to morally pressure Jessie, something he disliked intensely.
The toy belonged to Luke, and he naturally had the right to decide whether to give it to another kid or not.
If Mandy had the gall to snatch it away earlier, he wouldn’t have hesitated to step forward and protect them. He always sided with his family, especially since Luke wasn’t in the wrong here.
Laura also peeked in and saw everything, feeling quite satisfied with Kevin’s actions.
On the other hand, Mandy’s younger son rolled around further on the ground when he saw that he couldn’t get his hands on the toy. He shouted, "I don’t care! I want it! I want the toy in his hand!"
William’s family never saw Jessie in a favorable light. Now, she had gotten married and was living in the prestigious Quiet River Community. Despite Kevin only being a mere repairman, considering they could directly buy a place in that residency, they were all speculating that Kevin’s family must be quite wealthy.
What did it matter if his job wasn’t that great? As long as his family had money, wasn’t that more than enough?
