Chapter 1167 Controlling Wife
Sebastian had prepared himself upon returning to Oceanic Estate in Jadeborough, but as soon as he arrived at the door, the woman stormed out like a tigress.
He quivered slightly while taking a few steps back.
Mark’s eyelid twitched as he watched the scene unfold, for this was his first time seeing the mighty Sebastian Jadeson cower before his own wife.
“Wait, Darling… Listen to what I have to say—”
“Shut your mouth! I’m going to kill you, Sebastian!”
Right after that, the woman’s fists rained on him.
Everyone in Oceanic Estate turned their heads away silently—until Sasha stood on her toes and dragged her husband into the house by the ear.
Alas, the onlookers burst into laughter.
Even Jonathan’s lips couldn’t help but twitch so much that he had to look away to conceal his smile.
That little b*stard deserves it!
As the couple vanished from sight, Jonathan’s gaze eventually fell on a man getting out of the car. They had finally met again after several months, and despite this man looking completely different now, Jonathan felt a flare of sudden overwhelming emotion wash over him. He trembled as he stared at the man, tears streaming down his face.
“Quick. Tell him to come in,” he muttered to Mark, who was standing right beside him.
But how could an outsider come in?
Edmund may have returned to Jadeborough, but he now had a different face and identity. He couldn’t pop in at a time like this.
“Please pull yourself together for now, Old Mr. Jadeson,” Mark could only advise as tears brimmed in his eyes.
Alas, it was these very words that broke the elderly man down.
Meanwhile, Edmund’s eyes reddened as he stared at Jonathan, and his chest heaved.
But as Mark had said, he couldn’t do anything unseemly. All he could do now was to pretend to be the illegitimate son of one of Jonathan’s associates and gaze at the elderly man from afar.
“I think it’s best to get back into the car, Mr. Cooper,” advised the Oceanic Estate security guard who had escorted him here.
Edmund gritted his teeth.
Just as he was about to enter the vehicle, a figure rushed over with a three-month-old baby in her hands.
“Wait! Are you returning to the Cooper residence? Please let me come along. I have to take Ms. Sabrina’s child back to the Red Pavilion.”
It was Wendy.
Edmund’s eyes widened as his mind buzzed. He gazed down at the baby and stopped moving.
This is… Jaena?
Seeing the man’s reaction, Wendy placed the child in his arms and hopped into the car.
“Let’s go, Mr. Cooper. It’s cold outside. The baby’s going to freeze.”
“Okay,” Edmund responded after what felt like an eternity as he carried the little girl in his arms.
Then, with tense shoulders, he carefully entered the vehicle with the child.
What he felt was indescribable.
During his numerous sleepless nights, the man would imagine holding this child in his embrace, like how he would carry a small animal or a military puppy.
But of course, none of those could ever compare to carrying a baby.
That was why he felt even worse after waking up.
But now, his dream had finally come true. The child felt so soft in his arms and had a milky fragrance. It was like she had instantly become his entire world.
“She now weighs eighteen pounds at less than three months, Mr. Cooper. She drinks 120 milliliters of milk during each feeding.”
Seeing the way he couldn’t stop looking at Jaena, Wendy began to talk about the baby’s daily life.
Edmund immediately paid attention to her words.
“Really?” he asked, his voice trembling slightly.
Wendy nodded. “Yup. She can even communicate! She’s adorable. This little lady responds whenever you say something to her, and she does this little dance with her hands and legs. She’s very much like Ms. Sabrina when she was a baby.”
Wendy was a housemaid living with the Hayeses. She had watched Sabrina and Sebastian grow up.
Hence, while talking about Jaena, she couldn’t help but bring up the child’s mother too.
Edmund fell silent.
He couldn’t help but extend a finger, wanting to poke the baby’s face so she would wake up and smile at him.
Eventually, the man decided against it after seeing how soundly she slept, and he continued to hold onto her until they arrived at the Red Pavilion.
