Daddy, don't flirt

Chapter 3 Her “fiancee”

“You missed that great chance last night!” Jacqueline’s mother, Catherine roares.

“I drugged him last night, and I let someone sabotage the lobby’s camera. How would I know he didn’t show up in my room last night?” Jacqueline rebutes.

“You’re so stupid! I've already told you to follow him, but you refused, wasting such great opportunity for nothing. Dan never gets close to female, he surely won’t have sex with you even you two are engaged. Then how can you get pregnant? Without a baby, how can you gain your place in William family?” Catherine sputters.

The only reason why Jacqueline could engage with Dan, is because of the close friendship dating back to their grandfathers of both families.

When both grandfathers were still alive 20 years ago, they settled down their grandchild’s wedding.

At first, both of the family never took that seriously. Until the Moore’s is not as glory as before. To reach their submit period again, Jack insists to push through the wedding regardless of everything.

They never expected that in the critical moment, something happened and ruined Jacqueline’s plan.

“I heard what you said, just stops, Jamie is coming.” Jacqueline whispers to Catherine.

It’s time for dinner, and Jamie is called by servant to come for dinner.

Jamie, Jacqueline and Catherine are having dinner together.

Jamie sits at the table, bearing all the complains from Catherine while she is eating. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“You really think yourself as the young master of the house, don't you? Even need the servant to inform you to come for dinning. Don't you go to school anymore? Your teacher has called us to complain it.”

says Catherine.

Jamie skips school today, because she has no energy to go to school after what happened last night.

“I don’t feel well today, that’s why I skipped school. I already asked for leave from the teacher.” Jamie explains.

“I think you just want to be a freeloader at the house.” Jacqueline says arrogantly.

This haughty side of her is totally different from the sweet and polite woman when Jacqueline is with Jack.

Jamie still remembers her first day arrived to the house; Jacqueline kept calling her little brother kindly when Jack was at present, which made Jamie felt moved.

But later she heard the talk between Jacqueline and Catherine, then she knows that all the kindness was just an act to drive her out of the family once they had chances. And that’s why Jamie was set up for the watch.

Jamie chooses to remain silent though they keep picking on her. She just wants to finish her meal and leaves as soon as possible. But when she is ready to leave and go upstairs, something Catherine says stops her.

“Look at you, how timid you are. What a shame! But it’s lucky for you, you can marry the daughter of the Summer’s family. When you two get married, remembers not to disgrace our Moore’s family.” Catherine says.

Jamie is shocked after she heard. Then, she suddenly looks up to Catherine and asks, “Who is the daughter of the Summer’s family, and what marriage?”

Jacqueline answers with a sneer, “The Summer is a notable family in Leeds. Others wish to marry her but failed. You, an illegitimate ‘son’, should be thankful to have this honor.”

There’re always rumors about the daughter Chelsea of the Summer’s family. that she has a weak body and always gets sick.

Several days before, a grand master told Chelsea’s grandmother that if Chelsea wants to get rid of all the sickness, she needs to marry a man with good character and matching birth date.

And Chelsea’s grandmother believed that. She spread out her words to find a proper husband for her granddaughter.

Thus, all the unmarried men in Leeds gave their to birth date to the Summer’s family, and Jacqueline and Catherine gave Jamie’s birth date to get rid of Jamie from the Moore’s family.

Unexpectedly, Jamie actually got picked, which made Jacqueline and Catherine very happy.

“Does dad know this?” Jamie asks.

This is too ridiculous for a girl to be a matrilocal son-in-law for the Summer. Doesn’t Jack need her back to be the successor of the Moore family?

Will Jack let her to be a matrilocal son-in-law?

Hearing what Jamie's question, Catherine is unable to respond. She looks at Jacqueline subconsciously.

After all, Jack knows nothing about this.

Jacqueline answers disdainfully, “Dad will agree. After I marry Dan and give birth a son, you won’t be the successor in our family. Look at you, you are nothing but a sissy illegitimate child.”

Jacqueline’s words are so mean that you wouldn’t believe she is a socialite from a notable family.

Jamie always keeps silence. She can bear the insult from Jacqueline. But marriage will expose her disguise.

Thus, for the first time, she rejects what Jacqueline said. “No, I won’t marry the daughter of the Summer.”

Catherine and Jacqueline are so angry when they heard the rejection from Jamie, who has always been obedient.

Catherine stands up suddenly, pointing to Jamie, and says furiously, “How dare you say no! I’m warning you that you have to be the a live-in son-in-law!”

“No!” Jamie rejects again.

Jacqueline sees that Jamie is determined, but she still thinks of something that will change Jamie’s mind. Jacqueline says sneering, “Fine, if you don’t agree with this, I will call the hospital now and tell them we won’t pay for you mother’s medical expense anymore.”

Just like what Jacqueline has expected, Jamie says nothing about rejection again.

For Jamie, her mother is the most important people to her. Nothing can compare with.

Catherine and Jacqueline looks at each other gladly when they notice Jamie is not going to reject anymore.

Jacqueline says contentedly, “As long as you do what we say, your mother’s medical expense will still be paid.”

Jamie has no choice but to say yes.
