Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Family Dinner 4

He glared at Jessica who pretended not to have noticed his gaze,

Vera didn’t expect Jessica to single her out like that. She was furious and she glared at her with rage.

Jessica ignored her gaze rather she grabbed Davis hand in hers and lightly caressed it for a while but didn’t stop fiddling with it after that.

Her attention for the first time drawn to how long his fingers are, his bones distinct and calluses on the tips of his fingers. A clear fact that aside the fact he had laboured for the Allen for several years, he still had his fair share of stories to tell.

Her actions helped him calm the tension on his shoulder and the anger brewing in his eyes dissipated.

She didn’t want him to give them the satisfaction they seek. She wouldn’t allow him lose his temper over people that did not matter, so she must distract his attention. She wouldn’t let him experience another episode.

Davis gaze rested on her face taking in her calm confident features that cares little about the world collapsing at her feet, he felt the impulse to kiss her but then he held back.

"You must be calm, okay", she leaned in to his ears and whispered. She might not have spent much time with him but she is quite certain of his short temper.

Davis smiled lightly "Am not too bothered, you are doing great already by not fretting at their gaze", he whispered.

Ethan sitting beside couldn’t help but imagine how the two were able to have a close tactic understanding among them.

The interactions between both of them left a bitter taste in the mouth of the family members —this is a blatant flirting attitude without regards for the elders.

Vera looked at Davis who had a soft smile playing on his lips and felt her breathe hitch—This smile had always been her dazzling sun but now mocks her, she is not resigned with this result.

Vera’s hand on the armchair clenched as she glared at Jessica’s hand on Davis’s. That was her position. Why do she have to be beside him? Why should he let her touch him? No, She can’t really let go, she had thought that the next time they will meet she would have gotten over him but then why is it this painful?

Jessica gazed at Vera not missing the changes on her cold face and a mischievous smile graced her lips "Sister-in-law, If you are married to a man unfortunate to lose his legs will you abandon him?" She queried, her tone light.

Jessica never wanted to get involved with her but she is beginning to feel uncomfortable at her blatant gaze on Davis.

Several other family members that had arrived for the dinner glanced at Aaron and Vera. Their gazes mocking them, it is no secret that Vera had abandoned Davis due to his disability.
