Sweet Twins Indulge in Daddy's Love -
Chapter 157 The More, The Merrier
His mischievous tone made her flush, but she had to pretend she didn't understand anything. "Well, Mr. Fang. This is an extra reward. The more, the Merrier!" Glancing at her with a meaningful look, Jay responded, "Remember to call me by my name from now on. Not Mr. Fang but Jay. Okay?
Doris nodded. "Jay," she called his name sweetly and gently.
After getting dressed properly, she looked at the mirror and instantly liked what she saw there. She looked elegant in this blue lace dress and a pair of white highheeled shoes. She left her hair down and wore very light makeup.
She looked like a beautiful recently blooming lotus in the water and as gentle as the willow. Even the crutch in her hand couldn't hamper her beauty. It even added loveliness in her dress up.
As Doris emerged before Jay, he put down the fashion magazine in his hand and eyed her with an unwavering gaze. "Not bad!"
He although commented that in a calm voice, his heart was satisfied with the view in front of him.
Jay had always been confused in matters of women of his choice. He was uncertain about what kind of women he liked.
But Doris had changed his viewpoint about that. No matter how much he'd been rejecting her, it was undeniable that because of her appearance, he finally understood what type of women that he wanted to be with.
The last time, when Doris visited the Fang family, she got no proper opportunity to take a good look at it.
But this time, he took a good look at it.
Both the exterior and interior of the villa were of retro style. It clearly showed its owner's low profile and majesty.
Doris felt slightly nervous being there.
When Jay noticed her hesitation he asked, "Are you feeling cold?" He detected something was off the moment he took a careful look at her.
Doris let out an airy nervous laugh. "No, I'm just nervous," she said honestly.
Jay's eyes softened at that. "Don't be afraid. I'm here!" Jay whispered in her ear comfortingly.
'Don't be afraid. I'm here!'
As Doris repeated his words in her mind, her heart filled with warmth. It made her almost burst into tears of happiness. He was being such a gentleman today. "Hey, you!" Right then a sharp pitched voice came from upstairs. Doris looked up that way hastily and noticed a noble lady standing there looking right at them. It was Jennie, Jay's mother.
However, the person Doris had been expecting to see the most was Sarah, Jay's sister. She turned towards him and asked softly, "Jay, where is your sister?"
"She went abroad with Stoney the other day. She won't be here for a while." After answering her question, Jay regarded Doris intently. "Are you missing her?" "Humph" Doris replied. Doris thought if Sarah was here, she would have made her comfortable around Jay's family.
She would never have allowed Winnie to be disrespectful and aggressive towards her. She would, perhaps, be the only friendly person among Jay's family.
"Auntie, this crippled woman is the one who's been seducing Jay and now she's got the audacity to come here!" Winnie barged into the villa and then ran straight to Jennie's side. She threw Doris an aggrieved glare.
As Winnie said so, Jennie's expression also changed in a blink of an eye. She frowned and looked aggressive. It made Doris nervous all the way more.
"Mom, this is Doris." Jay however, ignored what Winnie said as he gazed softly at her. "She came to take care of Grandpa, you know."
"Hello Aunt." Doris looked at Jennie with a gentle look on her face and addressed her sweetly.
Doris thought that she needed to be careful to not leave a bad impression on the Fang family. What happened the last time at the banquet, it was not her fault. Dorothy and Lucy were the ones to be blamed.
Doris noted how these ladies in the rich families were too unreasonable.
"Doris, I don't think you are suitable for our family!" Jennie stated flatly.
Doris remained silent as she heard those words. She didn't know why the words hurt her so bad.
"Don't be so unapproachable. Let them in first." It was Landon who came out right then in a wheelchair.
But Winnie yelled aloud, "Grandpa, you can't let this bitch in. Jay is mine." She ran to Landon, like a child craving candy. In fact she was in a denial that Jay could even bring some other woman in the house. "Really?" Landon laughed out loud when Winnie said that. He caressed Winnie's head. "How do you know Jay is yours?" "Father, don't overlook Jay's misdeed today. If you don't discipline him today, he may bring you a grandson tomorrow," Jennie complained angrily.
"And that'd be really great! That's exactly what I want!" Landon said that in a joking tone and smoothed down his moustache. His eyes averted to Doris as he observed her fixedly.
"Well, I like this girl very much. Why don't you?" Doris was able to leave a good impression of her on Landon. It made Doris feel good.
Landon liked Doris's temperament, her dressing sense and even her gentle smile. She was completely different from the description of the bad woman Winnie gave him.
Besides, there was an imperceptible fortitude in her eyes.
No man would dislike such a clean, good-looking and patient girl.
Landon regarded Doris and then Jay as he thought, perhaps, she was more suitable to be the wife of Jay than Winnie.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Jay smiled at him, relieved to see his acceptance of Doris.
Doris repeated as well, "Thank you. Grandpa."
"Aunt, what about me?" Winnie looked at Jennie expectant of her support. Winnie wasn't expecting Landon would ignore her and give priority to Doris instead. She grabbed Jennie's arm anxiously and pleaded with her eyes.
"Father, we shouldn't haste!" Jennie said helplessly.
Jennie did not dare to disobey Landon. It was clearly visible that his condition was deteriorating day by day. Even if he wanted to let Doris marry her son, Jennie was afraid that he would not live until that day. But Winnie wasn't ready to accept defeat. "Auntie, but Doris is a bitch. How can you let her stay close to Jay? You should drive her away as quickly as possible," She continued to persuade Jennie in her favor. "Silly girl, if I drive her away now, your dear Jay will leave with her too!" Jennie pointed out.
Winnie made a face at that. "Okay," she murmured. Winnie didn't want to contradict Jennie. Winnie knew it very well that she was the only way to Jay. She only gritted her teeth with anger and glared at Doris. However, Doris ignored Winnie. She felt lucky that Landon didn't disapprove of her.
She followed Jay into the villa and went to the living room. The antique decoration was dignified and luxurious. Doris observed the furniture and realized they were all imported. She even saw a Buddha statue at the north corner of the living room.
"Doris, this is my father."
Jay's voice brought her out of her mesmerized state. She looked up and saw he was introducing her to his father.
She bowed politely and addressed him gently, "Hello, Uncle." "Hello, pleased to meet you, although we have already met each other."
Jennie drawled unhappily, "It's of no use being good to her. This woman is poor. She doesn't match with Jay."
"You are right, Jennie." Jay's wealthy family was hoping that their son would marry a woman with a strong family background. Turned out Doris was the woman he had eyes for.
"Do you like my son, Doris?" Eric asked her calmly.
"I should say that he likes me." Doris was quick to answer him. However, her voice was as sweet as usual. But when she saw Eric's expression shift, she added, "Of course, I admire your son as well. He is young, talented and handsome. He's probably the dream lover of many girls. It wouldn't be after all a bad idea to marry him!"
Everyone knew that Jay was a famous playboy in this city. So, Doris was just being polite when describing Jay.
However, her words angered Jennie as soon as she heard them. She almost trembled from anger hearing such an impression of her son. How could her son be interested in such a woman who thought so lowly of him?
But Jay was not at all surprised at her words. Doris came here pretending to be his girlfriend, so it was a right thing to say that he liked her.
"Ah, Doris!" Jay started but got interrupted by Jennie immediately. "You, Doris, listen to me." Jennie gave her a disdainful look and leaned forward. "I don't think you are a good match for my son. You'd better stay away from him."
"Okay, Aunt. I'd do as you say." Doris quickly withdrew her hand from Jay's arm that she was holding and stepped away from him.
"Ha-ha!" Landon burst into laughter, watching Doris squirming at Jennie's words. Everyone turned their eyes at him, puzzled. "Dad, what's wrong?" Eric asked.
Landon didn't reply to him, instead he caressed his moustache and asked Jay, "Jay, do you really like Doris?" "Of course, or why would I bring her here to meet you?" Jay didn't expect that his grandfather who wanted him to marry a daughter of a rich family would suddenly ask him about Doris. He answered him without hesitation, pleased that he had changed his mind.
"In that case, you two will get married tomorrow."1
