Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 236 Destroy Your Family

After a brief pause, Pamela flashed a small smile. “Not bad.”

Pamela was not impressed by Jessica’s background, but Jessica seemed to be docile. The latter was also in the design department and would greatly help Wyatt in his job. Because of that, Pamela could still accept her.

“Thank you, Mrs. Lopez.” Jessica’s cheeks flushed red, and the corners of her lips lifted into a huge grin.

Soon, Wyatt came down with Gerald.

Gerald was tall and handsome. His sharp eyes were bursting with life and energy. No one would have guessed that he was over fifty years old. As he chatted with Wyatt, a loving smile was fixed on his face.

“Hubby.” Pamela went over to hook her arm over Gerald’s. “Did Wyatt tell you? He brought a girl home today. I quite like her.”

Gerald chuckled. “How could I have not heard of it? He hasn’t shut up about it since he stepped foot into the study.”

“That’s because I can’t wait for you to meet my girlfriend.” Wyatt took Jessica’s hand and brought her to Gerald. “Can you tone it down with your ferocious expression, Dad? Don’t scare my girlfriend away!” Wyatt joked.

“When have I ever been ferocious?” Gerald huffed, feigning anger. As his gaze met Jessica’s, he froze, and the smile on his face stiffened. For a second, he did not move.

With a wide smile, Jessica greeted Gerald politely, “Hello, Mr. Lopez.”

Seeing that Gerald did not respond, Pamela gave him a gentle nudge. “Hubby, Jessica’s greeting you.”

“Oh. Yes. Right. Hi.” A dark look flickered across Gerald’s expression before he regained his composure. His tone gradually returned to normal. “She seems nice.”

“Why, of course! Do you think I have bad taste?” Wyatt was pleased by Gerald’s comment. Disregarding the presence of the housekeepers and his parents, he leaned forward to kiss Jessica on her lips.

“Are you not ashamed to do that in front of so many people?” It was Pamela who asked that question.

“What’s there to be ashamed about? Everyone here’s family.”

The four of them headed to the dining table.
