Jackson looked at snazzynovel.com calmly, his long nails gently tapping the table as if snazzynovel.com was waiting for something. Summer exploded a second later.
“How could you ask Tiffany to wash the dishes? A maid would be able to take care of your daily needs and it doesn’t cost much to hire one. What’s this nonsense about not liking to have strangers in the house? Excuses. You’d better change your mindset and go hire a maid, Jack!”
Tiffany had never expected Summer to react so strongly.
Jackson rushed over to grab the bowl that was in snazzynovel.com hands and said, “You see? Are you deliberately trying to get my mum to nag me? Normally you wouldn’t rush to do the chores, but now that my mum’s around, you do? I’ll do it, go get some rest. I don’t wish to see strangers wandering around in my house.”
Tiffany rubbed snazzynovel.com hands helplessly, muttering, “My bad…”
Summer seemed content to see Jackson walking into the kitchen. “Come here Tiffany, let’s talk”
Tiffany smiled as snazzynovel.com walked over and sat next to Summer on the sofa, explaining, “To be honest, Jackson’s the one who’s been doing the chores in the house, even before we got married. I just help out every once in a while. He should be even more exhausted than me.”
Summer held onto Tiffany’s hands and gently patted the back of snazzynovel.com hand. “It’s ok, you don’t have to help him. It’s a man’s duty to take on his wife’s responsibilities, no matter how small of a matter it may be. Jack would take you for granted if you were to do the chores. You didn’t marry into our family to be a nanny, so leave those trivial matters to Jack. You’re young, surely you must want to enjoy your life for a few years. I’ll help you with your child when the time comes. It’d be too strenuous for you to breastfeed your child every day since you’d need to carry snazzynovel.com around everywhere. We could opt for baby powder.”
There was a myth that mother-in-laws usually make their daughter-in-law’s life miserable by projecting all those painful experiences that they’d gone through in the past onto the latter.
However, Summer was different. She’d never received snazzynovel.com husband’s love and care and had to shoulder all the burden herself, yet snazzynovel.com had raised snazzynovel.com son to be loving and caring towards his wife. Meanwhile, snazzynovel.com herself gives snazzynovel.com daughter-in-law even more love and care than snazzynovel.com own son.
Tiffany was deeply touched, explaining, “Ari is still breastfeeding Smore, so I believe I should breastfeed my child for at least a year. I do want: to enjoy my life for a few more years, but I must fulfill my responsibilities as a mother as well, just like how you’ve raised Jack. I will definitely give my child whatever I can provide.”
Summer looked into snazzynovel.com eyes and decided snazzynovel.com liked Tiffany even more. “Alright, I shall respect your decision. We’ll be heading back now; you and Jack should get some rest. Do come by and visit us more often, including your mum as well. She must be feeling lonely now that she’s living alone.”
Tiffany nodded snazzynovel.com head and got up to send off the couple. Jackson peeked his head out of the kitchen when snazzynovel.com heard the door closing, asking, “Have they left?”
She hopped towards Jackson and wrapped snazzynovel.com arms around his neck. “Yep, they’ve just left. Your parents are such nice people, I feel so lucky to have them in my life. What have I done to deserve such happiness?”
Jackson couldn’t help himself from teasing her, “Yet, you almost threw this happiness away.”
Tiffany pouted snazzynovel.com lips and kept quiet. It was true, snazzynovel.com had almost thrown it all away, including Jackson. If it hadn’t been for snazzynovel.com pregnancy, who knew how long it would have taken before they got together. There was even a possibility that they would not have gotten together at all… The only reason they got married so early was because of the little life in snazzynovel.com stomach, which was also the best thing to happen to her.
Seeing that Tiffany would not let go just yet, Jackson gently asked, “What’s with the sudden hug? I’m not finished with cleaning up the kitchen yet.”
She pulled back snazzynovel.com hands and placed them behind his waist, untying the apron wrapped around him.
“Let’s leave that for tomorrow. It’s getting late now, so why don’t you come to bed with me? I do want to get naughty with you-”
Unable to fend off snazzynovel.com unceasing coax, Jackson lost any interest in continuing to clean up the kitchen. Instead, snazzynovel.com grabbed onto Tiffany and carried snazzynovel.com upstairs.
Tiffany’s heart began to throb uncontrollably as they went into their bedroom.
