Chapter 020 Barret Was Sexy
The day of grandpa’s birthday soon arrived.
Jenny got up early and thought she would be up earlier than Barret, but she didn’t expect to see him already
dressed in a suit and ready to go.
Barret wore a black suit, flat without a single crease, which made him very handsome, noble, and elegant. Looking at him, Jenny
sighed, “God always favored some people whose facial features are exquisite and impeccable. What’s more, they are born with
a flawless figure looking good in any clothes they wear.” Jenny suddenly thought of the baby in her belly.
If it was a boy and looked like him, the baby must be very handsome.
“Why are you awake so early? Don’t you want to sleep a little more?”
Barret asked when he saw Jenny was up.
“No.” Jenny shook her head, “Today is grandpa’s birthday. How can I sleep late? I must be the first to grandpa to
wish him a birthday.”
“Then you definitely won’t make it, because Dad and Mom are already over there.”
Jenny, “...”
However, Jenny was very clever and she said immediately. “Mom and dad should go first. After all, they are the son and
daughter-in-law. This first must be left to them and I want to be the first in the grandchildren’s
generation.”
Just after finishing these words, Jenny heard Barret’s low voice, “Sorry, I don’t think you can be the first in the
grandchildren’s generation.”
“Why?”
Barret raised his eyebrows, “I’m all set and I’m going over there now.”
Jenny wasn’t worried about Barret going first and beamed at him, “Go ahead and hurry up, but grandpa will
think you’re bullying me again when he sees you going alone. On such a festive day, do you think Grandpa
would like to see us in pairs or alone?”
That captured the point.
Barret conceded and looked at his watch, “You have fifteen minutes.”
“Okay.”
Barret only gave Jenny a little time, but fortunately, it was summer and the clothes went quickly. Jenny’s skin had always been
good, soft and white and just a little powder will do.
And on this occasion today, she had no intention to attend as Barret’s wife.
Seeing Jenny didn’t put on the prepared dress, Barret frowned, “Why not wear a dress? Today’s guests are all close relatives
and friends. It’s fine for them to know you, my wife and it’s just not announced to the outside
world.”
Jenny shook her head, “No, since we’ve been hiding this secret for two years, there’s no need to let them know
who I am the day before the divorce.”
“It’s Grandpa’s big day, so I’ll just stay with him.”
“What about Grandpa? How are you going to explain that to him?” Barret looked at Jenny.
“Don’t worry, I have my way to convince Grandpa.”
“Okay.”
Preparing everything, Barret and Jenny were about to go out.
“Wait.” Suddenly, Jenny’s eyes rested on Barret’s neck.
She immediately turned around, found a matching tie, and handed it to Barret, “You forgot the tie.”
Barret didn’t reach out to take the tie, but he lowered his head and said gently and slowly, “You tie it for me.”
“I can’t tie it well. If you don’t mind, I will help you.”
“Well, I don’t mind.”
Jenny nodded, and then hung the tie around Barret’s neck first with her slender fingers.
At that moment, Barret stood up straight. But Jenny’s hand was still holding the tie, so she fell forward
unexpectedly,
Jenny’s nose suddenly bumped into Barret’s mouth.
Instantly, Barret’s warm breath spilled onto Jenny’s nose, lips, and even her entire face.
Jenny blushed. And now she was grabbing the tie with one hand. She hesitated whether she should continue to
tie for him or not.
Jenny’s heart was pounding like a dear in the headlights.
“You-You stand straight.” Jenny blushed and diverted her attention.
“Are you sure?”
Barret’s voice was the same as usual, but at the moment, in this atmosphere, Jenny felt it was very gentle and
sexy.
What’s more, Barret’s lips were still pressed against Jenny’s nose, warm and moist, disturbing her so much that she couldn’t
even tie for him.
“I’m sure.”
“Okay.”
After saying that, Barret instantly straightened his body and stood as straight as a pine.
Jenny, “...”
Jenny’s face flushed more.
Because it was too embarrassing.
When they were together before, Jenny didn’t realize that Barret was so much taller than her. Now, when he
stood up straight, she couldn’t even reach him to tie for him, and she had to stand on her tiptoes.
Because of her pregnancy, Jenny had been very careful these days and was wearing flat shoes.
So now, the height gap between them is getting bigger than usual.
And, strangely, Jenney failed to wear the tie for Barret several times.
Although her skills were not good, it’s not so bad to this point.
Jenny was in a hurry, but Barret smiled, “Who told me to stand straight just now?”
Jenny instantly got angry. She raised hei lesd and gave Balet
Then Jenny shoved the tie into Barret’s arms, “No more tying. You tie it yourself.”
Knowing Jenny was angry, Barret grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
Barret saw a table behind him, so he directly hugged Jenny and placed her on the table with one hand, “Okay, go
ahead and tie it.”
For a moment, Jenny was frozen, her hands grabbing his tie stopping.
Such a scene is familiar.
She had seen it in idol dramas before, but she never thought it would happen to her one day.
When wearing the tie, Jenny kept her head down and was very serious.
Jenny used to not be able to wear a tie at all because there was not such an occasion before she was married.
When she knew that she was going to marry Barret, Jenny searched the internet for videos to learn step by step. She always
can’t learn at first, then she bought a tie back and kept practicing. Finally, she learned after a long
time.
At that time, Jenny was looking forward to making breakfast and wearing a tie for Barret and taking him to
work every morning.
Jenny always felt it was a ritual between husband and wife, full of joy and happiness.
But after the wedding, Barret never let her wear a tie for him.
Unexpectedly, the first time Jenny helped Barret wear a tie would happen the day before their divorce.
It’s the first time, but also the last time.
After the tie was worn, Barret carried Jenny off the table and went downstairs arm in arm with her.
The hall of the Smith Family had all been decorated, with the Chinese favorite “red” as the main color,
supplemented by other colors, festive and cheerful, highlighting the Smith Family as honorable and
extraordinary.
Grandpa Smith got his hair done today and wore a traditional red birthday suit, making him look energetic and
strong.
“Grandpa, Barret and I wish you a happy 80th birthday and many happy returns.”
Jenny and Barret bowed together and bent down to present the gift to Grandpa Smith.
Grandpa Smith took the gift with a smile, then helped the two up, “Well, thanks for your blessings.”
The living room was filled with laughter, full of happiness, and pleasure.
Just then, Lillian came over, “Barret, Jenny, get ready, and in a while, the guests including our friends and
relatives should be here. Go to the door together to greet them.”
Just after she finished, her eyes fell on Jenny, “Huh, why are you wearing this outfit? Did you not see the red
cheongsam I have someone get for you? The dress and Barret’s suit are a couple’s suit, also festive. Go upstairs and change it
over.”
Jenny clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and said, “Mom, I saw that dress, but I don’t want to be known as
Barret’s wife today.”
“Silly child, you have been married for two years. Today’s opportunity is rare. How long will you wait if you don’t
announce it today?”
“Grandpa, mom, I haven’t finished grad school yet and I’m still a student, so I don’t want to announce my married
status for now. When I finish my defense, after I officially graduate, Barret and I will announce it together. Is it
okay?”
Barret also added, “Yes, there are too many people who talked too much in school and this is also protecting
her.”
Jenny’s reasoning was very good and very sufficient so that no one could refuse.
Old Smith nodded first, “Well, Jenny has a point. She is already my granddaughter-in-law anyway, and she’ll
never get away with it. Let her be and she can announce it whenever she wants.”
“Okay, Dad, now that you’ve said it, of course, I’ll listen to you,” Lillian said with a smile.
Next time, she pulled Barret aside, “Tell me honestly, are you still planning to divorce?”
“Mom, this is our own business and we have our plan. Can you let us handle it independently?”
“No.”
Lillian refused without even thinking about it.
Barret frowned tightly, “Mom, Jenny and I didn’t get married out of love, and divorce was naturally inevitable. A forced marriage
will not bring us happiness, and your marriage with Dad is the best proof of that. You and Dad
aren’t divorced, but are you living happily?”
Lillian glared at him angrily, “I’m talking about you and Jenny now, not me and your dad. Besides, our situation.
is different from yours. Don’t mix them up.”
“Anyway, I’m warning you, don’t even think about getting a divorce as long as I live.”
After saying that, Lillian left.
Jenny had just brought a glass of juice and was about to drink it by raising her head when suddenly a warm,
strong hand held her hand.
Jenny looked up and saw Barret’s handsome face.
“It’s too cold to drink!” Barret said forcefully and immediately took away the juice, then poured a cup of warm
water for Jenny.
“Warm water is tasteless and I want to drink something sweet.”
These days, she had no taste for anything, and when she got a chance to drink something sweet, Barret took it away before she
could even taste it.
Seeing Jenny beaming and looking pitiful, Barret was softhearted and handed her the juice again, “Drink less or your tummy will
ache at night.”
“Okay.”
Even if he did not say that she would not drink a lot.
She was greedy and just wanted to take a small sip to relieve her cravings.
And with a baby in her belly, she would certainly always watch her diet.
After that, Barret answered a phone call, then his expression changed, “Jenny, I’m going out for a while for something and will be
back as soon as possible.”
Today was his grandpa’s birthday. If it was not a very important person or an extremely important matter, he
would never leave before the banquet started.
Jenny thought it must be Laura calling Barret.
“It’s Laura looking for you, right?”
“Do you have to go?”
“If it’s not that urgent, I still want you to...”
Barret interrupted Jenny before she could finish her words.
“Well, it was urgent,” Barret said.
