Chapter 49: Captivating
Hearing his words, Jessie turned her head and looked at him seriously, her eyes shining a bit.
Kevin also gazed into her eyes. After a long stare, his cheeks flushed slightly as he couldn’t help himself from poking her forehead.
"Why are you looking at me like that? If I say I’ll do something, I will."
Laura was also his mother-in-law. He certainly didn’t have the temperament to endure watching her being bullied by someone else.
As for William, he didn’t like him at all. The Harper family had always believed that men who bully women are incompetent.
Jessie was amused by his reaction, reaching out to touch his cheek.
Kevin immediately jumped back, saying sternly, "Jessie! Did you forget the terms of our agreement? It’s best that you keep your boundaries."
However, she wasn’t offended. She simply propped her head up with one hand and smiled as she observed his reaction.
She could tell that he was someone who always spoke harsh words but had a soft heart. His reddened earlobes fully exposed his current thoughts.
On the other hand, Kevin also felt like his face was burning. For so many years, he had never had any intimate moments with a woman.
"Mr. Harper, you’re really innocent. Have you never been in a relationship before?" Jessie somewhat understood why Grandpa Harper was so eager to push Kevin to get married.
With his slow-witted and serious nature, if you didn’t give him a push, he probably would never get married for the rest of his life.
