The Invisible Wife Turned Savage novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191 A Man Out of Place

Outside Jeremy’s office, more than twenty professional nannies were still waiting for their turn. With a monthly salary of three hundred thousand on offer, the competition was fierce.

By the time he finished interviewing them all, it was already noon. He pulled out his phone and

called his wife.

“How are you feeling? Is the baby behaving?”

Mia was with the nutritionist, discussing Bobby’s meals. At her husband’s voice, she answered calmly, “I gave birth four months ago. What could possibly be wrong? There are plenty of people here taking care of me and the baby. You don’t have to worry.”

“I still think we should find three better nannies for him,” Jeremy said. “That way he’ll get the best care.”

“And have you found them yet? You’ve been looking for a week,” Mia teased.

Jeremy frowned. “There’s always something that doesn’t sit right. I’ll keep looking.”

Mia laughed. “My mom said she might as well come over and help. She could bring Spring and the others with her, and together they’d take care of Bobby.”

The Marstons lived right next door to the Bennetts, the families closely tied. Mrs. Marston was eager to dote on her grandson, but Jeremy had turned her away.

“No way,” he said firmly. “If your mom moves in, I’ll never get to share a bed with you at night.”

Mia was her mother’s darling, and Shannon doted on her daughter endlessly. If the two of them were under one roof, they’d chatter into the night and leave no space for him.

He’d fought hard to marry Mia, and he wasn’t about to surrender her to her mother.

“Mia, your recovery session’s about to start,” Shannon’s voice called from the background.

“I’m coming, Mom,” Mia replied quickly. Into the phone, she added, “She wants me for my postpartum therapy. I’ll call you later.”

Though Mia had delivered naturally, her abdominal muscles hadn’t fully closed, so Shannon had hired a rehabilitation team to help her heal.

Jeremy didn’t mind being hung up on. His wife’s health mattered most.

Still, he dialed his mother next.

Shannon was holding little Bobby when she answered. Passing the baby to a maid, she took the call. “Why are you calling home so often? Everything’s fine here. Your wife and son are fine. Focus on earning money. You can’t help much from the office anyway.”

Jeremy felt like she was brushing him off. “Mom, I just want to check in on my wife and son.”

Shannon chuckled, her gaze fixed fondly on her grandson. “The best way to care for them is to make more money. Pile up enough assets so your son can spend his life worry–free.”

Jeremy protested, “Absolutely not. My son’s not going to laze his life away. He has to inherit the family business.”

“Then work harder now,” Shannon countered. “The more years you carry the weight, the easier it’ll be for him when it’s his turn.‘

Jeremy had no words for that.

“And another thing,” she added. “Your grandmother’s been in Javerton for months. Who knows how she’s doing? You should call her more often. She and I don’t get along, so I don’t bother. But you should.”

Their relationship had always been prickly, though living separately kept friction to a minimum.

“Jonathan’s in Javerton,” Jeremy said. “He’ll look after her.”

Shannon snorted. “Jonathan? That workaholic? He doesn’t even have time for a wife, let alone his grandmother. I should count myself lucky I never relied on him for grandchildren. Otherwise, I’d be dead from frustration. Can’t you travel there more often and help your brother?”

Jeremy sighed. “Mom, what kind of thing is that to say? My wife just had a baby. How can I leave her right now to run to Javerton?”

“There are plenty of people with her,” Shannon shot back. “She probably finds you annoying anyway. Can you even hold a baby properly? Rock him to sleep?”

Jeremy fell silent.
