Chapter 45 : Relax, I’m Here for You
After the two of them announced their marriage, the whole Jena City was in an uproar.
Although the Walters Family was going downhill, it is said a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Along with Rex, it quickly caused a heated discussion in society.
Some said that the Walters Family was heartless and had sent their daughter to the Gavyn Family for the sake of the company. Others said that Wendy herself had seduced Rex. Still others said that Wendy had stolen Jenny’s fiancé.
All the rumors had not reached Wendy’s ears at all. It was not because she did not care about the news, but because Rex did not want to give her a chance to get involved in such rumors, nor did he want her to know.
It was rare for people to be muddleheaded when they were alive, but he could block all the rumors for Wendy and defend a pure land for her.
However, he could stop the rumors outside, but he could do nothing about the people at home.
After Rex’s parents found out, they wanted to see their daughter-in-law. After all, they had been married for such a long time, yet they had not come to visit her. It did not make any sense.
Wendy knew very well that there was some bad intention. A woman like Rex’s mother, Cassie Gavyn, definitely did not like her. Although it was just Wendy’s guess, she was extremely sure of it.
The old house of the Gavyn Family was located in the old city area, and it would take an hour to drive there. After the meeting, Rex went home to pick up Wendy. He knew that she didn’t have time to go out, so he prepared a gift in advance. After getting in the car, he handed it to her. “This is my parents’ favorite thing. You can give it to them directly at that time. You don’t have to be too cautious or too nervous.”
Even though Wendy had nodded her head obediently, her heart was filled with a completely different kind of emotion as she had another plan in mind.
The old house was covered by Boston Ivy. From a distance, it gave people a solemn and unapproachable feeling.
Their car stopped outside the courtyard. Before they could alight, a servant came forward and greeted them. “Mr. Gavyn, Mrs. Gavyn.”
Rex took Wendy’s hand and found that it was cold. “You don’t have to be so nervous”
“Don’t be nervous, I’m here,” Rex said.
Wendy was touched. She nodded and felt a little relieved. Rex asked, “Where are my parents?”
” Mrs. Gavyn is in the backyard. Mr. Gavyn is busy and won’t be coming.”
“Alright.” Rex took Wendy to the back courtyard. Before they walked in, Wendy saw Cassie Gavyn from afar. Cassie Gavyn’s image of a strong woman was no different from what she had imagined.
Rex took her closer. Cassie Gavyn pretended not to see and held a glass of wine.
“Mom.” Rex gave Wendy a look, and she immediately received the message. “Mom.”
Only then did Cassie Gavyn look away. She sized up Wendy and smiled. “I can’t accept you calling me mom as this is first time we meet each other.”
Wendy’s heart was suddenly in a panic. Rex said, “Mom, Wendy and I are married. If she doesn’t call you mom, what should she call you?”
Cassie Gavyn didn’t say anything, but the maid next to them asked the two to sit down. Wendy sat next to Rex. Although she was not favored in the Walters Family in the past, she was still the second daughter. She had never suffered such grievances before, so she couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
Cassie Gavyn asked, “I heard that your mother had a car accident?”
When Wendy heard this, she immediately perked up and nodded hurriedly. “Yes.”
“Rex is usually so busy with work, don’t bother him to take care of your mother. He hasn’t even come to see us for a while. Do you think it’s proper?”
Wendy felt as if someone had hit her in the back. She couldn’t imagine what she would say if Rex was not here.
“Okay, I’ll be careful in the future.”
Rex couldn’t say anything. As his mother, he knew very well that someone had stolen his son and made her feel uncomfortable. Whatever, he would let Wendy suffer a little first, and he would slowly make it up to her in the future.
“Alright, come, let’s eat first.” Cassie Gavyn picked up her chopsticks before Wendy began to eat. From time to time, Wendy would observe her body language, being afraid that what she had done would make Cassie unhappy. In fact, if a person hated you, even if you didn’t do anything, she would hate you still.
During the meal, she was trembling with fear. Before leaving, Cassie Gavyn took the opportunity to say something in Wendy’s ear while Rex was going to the car.
“Don’t think that you can rest assured after marrying my son. As the saying goes, a phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken.”
Every word she said was like a knife.
Wendy returned to the car with a terrible expression on her face. Rex was also well aware of this, but he didn’t know how to comfort her. The two of them remained silent all the way and it was very strange.
“You……” Rex wanted to break the silence but when he turned his head, he saw tears rolling down Wendy’s face. He immediately stopped the car and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Wendy cried. “Your mother doesn’t like me at all.”
“No, she won’t.”
“But she……” Wendy wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. “Forget it, she doesn’t like me. Since she doesn’t like me, you can go marry someone else. Let’s divorce!”
Rex immediately became angry. “Wendy, say it again!”
Wendy knew that she had said something wrong, but she didn’t want to admit it. “You only know how to yell at me.”
“Then I won’t yell at you, I’ll yell at my mother? Isn’t it because you don’t know how to be flexible?” said Rex.
Wendy sneered. “Yes, I’m not that kind of person. I can’t be the daughter-in-law of the Gavyn family. I don’t deserve you. I’ll divorce you when we get back!”
Divorce! Divorce!
“Wendy! Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be? So what if my mother doesn’t agree? It’s enough that I love you!”
“I……”
Love?
Wendy instantly sobered up as if someone had knocked her on the head. “You love me?”
Rex held his forehead. “If I don’t love you, why should I marry you? Wendy, don’t ask such meaningless questions in the future. I won’t be answering again.”
Wendy didn’t know what to say for a moment. “I’m sorry, I……”
“Don’t say sorry, you haven’t wronged anyone. Remember, no one in this world can make you let go of your dignity for that person, and what you can’t let go the most is also your dignity.”
Rex’s words were so philosophical that they made Wendy a little uncomfortable. She stared at him, but in the end, Rex kissed her directly on the cheek and quickly left. “If you look at me again, I’ll kiss you. I’ll keep my word.”
