Chapter 53: Everyone is Selfish
"However, you don’t seem to be much affected; that’s great." Kevin nodded. A slight smile unknowingly appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he quickly suppressed it.
Lilian noticed the subtle change and couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Marriage was indeed a sweet experience.
When Laura saw him arrive, the joy in her eyes was unmistakable. "Seeing you come to find Jessie right away, I feel much more at ease. But don’t worry—no matter how far they go, I will never let them affect you two."
It wasn’t that she didn’t think of Kevin as a good person, but everyone was selfish in this world. Even if he didn’t say a word about it, his family might.
On the other hand, he seemed to read her concern and assured her, "Mom, don’t worry. Since Jessie married me, we will go through thick and thin together as a couple. There’s no running away."
His words made Laura smile with satisfaction. Yes—as a couple, they should support each other. But what about her husband, William?
She sighed, shaking her head. How foolish she was, still talking about love at her age like a young girl.
Fortunately, Jessie was luckier than she was.
Jessie patted Laura on the back, signaling that she didn’t have to worry. All of a sudden, she seemed to remember something and looked at Kevin with concern.
"Mr. Harper, shouldn’t you be at work now? With you coming here out of the blue, won’t your boss dock your pay?"
She didn’t want her issues to affect Kevin’s work, which would make her feel guilty.
He never expected her to worry about his bonus at this moment. He shook his head and replied, "Don’t worry; I’ve already informed my boss. He understands and won’t dock my bonus or anything."
