Chapter 22 The Marsh Family’s Secret
Catherine understood. That woman must have called Ivan to complain.
Therefore, Catherine clearly realized the importance of Jennifer in Ivan’s heart at this moment.
Even if she didn’t want to believe it, she had to.
Looking at the beautiful mansion in the yard, and thinking of the woman holding the ginger tea on a swing, she was so envious…
Catherine didn’t force her way into the Emerald Bay just because of an earring, because he knew that it would only embarrass her.
In the living room of the villa.
Jennifer played Go with Alfie and Diana.
“Mommy, when can we see Jayla?”
“Mommy, will we go back to Sunshine Village?”
“Of course, we will go back.” Jennifer raised the corner of her mouth slightly. “But we have to go to a place with Dad this afternoon. And we will go back after we finished our work.”
“By the way, Dad said that he arranged the best kindergarten in Arkpool City for us!” Diana asked expectantly, “Will Miss Erica be there? She is the best…”
“No, sweetheart, but the teachers there will love you as much as Miss Erica does. As long as you are obedient, you will be the teacher’s favorite children.”
“We must be the best kids!”
After chatting with the children for a while and playing three rounds of Go. Marry took the children upstairs to the amusement park.
Seeing the pleased smile on the butler’s face, Jennifer also smiled.
The butler said, “Mrs. Marsh, this place has never been so lively before.”
“I hope that the children’s arrival did not disturb the peace.”
“Of course not.” The butler said with a kind look, “We all like them very much.”
“Jordan, sit please.” Jennifer gave him a seat.
The butler was a little surprised, but she was gentle. “Have a seat. I want to ask you something.” Then she poured a cup of tea for him. “I called Ivan. He said that he would take me to see his mother in the afternoon so he wants me to know something about his mother from you first.”
The butler knew Mr. Marsh’s character and he was serious about love.
No matter what reason Mr. Marsh had to marry her, they would spend their whole life together.
Therefore, Jordan did not hide the truth. He said truthfully, “21 years ago… that is, when Mr. Marsh was 17 years old, there was a big fire in the old house of the Marsh Family. Her mother…”
“Wait.” Jennifer was acute. “21 years ago, he was 17? Then how old is he now?
“38.”
“…” Jennifer was stunned. “He is 12 years older than me?”
The butler was confused. He thought, “Didn’t she know? ”
“It’s okay.” She quickly digested it. “You go on. I won’t interrupt again. I’m sorry.”
“That year, there was a big fire in the Marsh Family. The fire was particularly fierce. Mr. Marsh’s mother was trapped in the fire. No one dared to rush in. It was Mr. Marsh who risked his life to save her. He came out after half an hour.”
Jennifer’s heart was hanging when she heard this. She thought that he was very lucky.
“Mr. Marsh saved her life, but her burns are very serious. In recent years, her vocal band has just returned to normal, but most of her skin is wrapped in white gauze. No one knows what she looks like, so she always wears long clothes and long sleeves all year round. Her physical injuries and psychological trauma make her temper very strange.”
Jennifer asked thoughtfully, “The fire… Is it an accident?
“…” Could the truth be told?
This was a taboo that the Marsh family can’t mention. The butler couldn’t make up his mind, because he was not sure whether Mr. Marsh would hide it or not.
But Jennifer learned the answer from his eyes, and she could tell his situation. “Jordan, how is the relationship between Ivan and his mother?” She cleverly changed the subject.
“It’s fine if they don’t talk about the marriage.” The butler answered truthfully, “Their relationship will break if they talk about his marriage. Mr. Marsh cares about his mother very much, after all… he doesn’t have any relatives.”
“Is he afraid of getting married? Where is his father?” She checked on the Internet, and the information was completely wiped out.
“He shouldn’t be afraid of getting married. After all, he is already married, isn’t he?” The butler said, “His father has passed away. Mr. Marsh values family very much, so he also loves Alfie and Diana from the bottom of his heart, although…”
“Just say what you want to say, it doesn’t matter.”
“Although you don’t have any emotional foundation with him, I believe that you can become a happy family.” Jordan said from the bottom of his heart, “Mr. Marsh has never been in a relationship and has never brought a girl back. He may pay more attention to his career and doesn’t know the skills of love, but he is definitely a man who deserves to be entrusted with your whole life.”
“I just got married to him based on an agreement.” Jennifer said with a smile, “For the sake of the children.”
