President's Substitute Wife

On the way, I was worried. I was really afraid James hated me!

But when I got to the door, I found no one at the door. I felt relieved.

I went through the garden and got to James’ door and knocked.

The housekeeper opened the door for me. She saw me and said respectfully, “Miss Jones.”

I was a little nervous and asked, “is Grandpa Jessop there?”

The housekeeper nodded and invited me in.

I entered Jessop Family.

Jessop Family was the same as before. The housekeeper said, “master is upstairs in the teahouse. I’ll tell him.”

“Thank you.”

I said gratefully.

Maybe James was the only one in Jessop Family who didn’t hate me.

The housekeeper went upstairs and came back soon and said, “Miss Jones, master is waiting for you upstairs.”

I went upstairs.

The door of the teahouse was open. I knocked on the door and pushed it open.

In the teahouse, James sat on a huge chair and he had a teapot in his hand and he was making tea.

I hadn’t seen James for a long time.

I saw him last time because he was in hospital. James had grown significantly older.

His hair was now all white and his face had age spots.

Many things had happened to Jessop Family recently. He must be worried.
