Chapter 59

Finally, they arrived.

His grandfather’s eyes lit up, and he personally came out to greet them. “You’re here! You’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for so long p>

With that, he walked right past Jasper, who had been about to speak, and went straight to Tatiana. He nervously steadied her arm. “Oh, careful now. Don’t walk so fast. You’re carrying a child now, you must be careful p>

Tatiana looked horrified. “Grandfather p>

“Silly child, why would you hide such a huge thing from me? Come, sit down, rest p>

“Grandfather, I’m not p>

But Jasper cut her off. “Grandfather, who told you p>

The old gentleman shot him a harsh glare. “What does it matter who told me! How could you hide something this important? If anything happens to this child, I won’t let you off! You brat p>

His grandfather had no idea that if his phone call had come just a few minutes later, his little great- grandchild would have been gone.

“Come, dear, sit down. I’ve had the chef prepare some nourishing soup for you. You must take good care of yourself. You’re so thin, childbirth will be hard on you p>

He led Tatiana inside, completely ignoring Jasper.

Jasper stood behind, watching her back, his eyes darkening.

As he’d expected, with his grandfather involved, the procedure was off.

His grandfather stubbornly believed this child was, without question, a Jackson.

The Jackson family line had always been thin. They never had many children and would never abandon a new life.

Upon learning Tatiana was pregnant, his grandfather had immediately arranged for nutritionists, maids, and maternity nurses. He even wanted to schedule a full check–up for Tatiana, but she refused.

“Grandfather, I’m fine. I don’t need an examination p>

Although he was worried, he was more concerned about her mood, so he respected her wishes.

“From now on, if that brat bullies you, you must tell me. Don’t you dare keep it bottled up, you hear p>

She looked at his grandfather’s sincere, hopeful expression, and a bitter taste filled her mouth.

“This is for you. There’s a million in it. Spend it however you like. If it’s not enough, I’ll give you more p>

Chapter 60 Grandfathers intervention

With that, his grandfather forcibly pressed the card into her hand. “You just focus on a healthy pregnancy. Don’t you worry about anything else p>

The card felt like a hot potato in her hand. She couldn’t refuse it.

Jasper, having just returned from a call with his grandfather’s private physician, saw the old man affectionately stuffing money into her hand while Tatiana looked like she wanted to speak but couldn’t.

He strode over, placing a hand naturally on her shoulder, completely ignoring how her body instantly went rigid.

“Grandfather, we’ll be going now p>

The old man was instantly reluctant. “Leaving so soon? You won’t stay a little longer p>

He applied pressure, pulling her up. “You still have to go to your prenatal appointment, don’t you p>

Tatiana looked at him, her eyes wide with fear, her voice seemingly stuck in her throat.

When his grandfather heard about a prenatal appointment, he didn’t detain them further, only adding, “Jasper, you’re about to be a father. You need to be more mature, more stable. Be good to your wife and child p>

“Yes, Grandfather. I know p>

“Go on, then. The dear girl looks a bit pale. You do need to be careful p>

“We will p>

Jasper led her out of the old mansion.

Before they left, his grandfather added a final warning: “If anything happens to her, I can still swing a cane! I know you didn’t like her in the past, but as a man, you must accept your responsibilities as a husband. Do you understand p>

He gave a noncommittal response. He was thinking that he had never, not for a moment, recognized her as his wife.

After leaving the mansion, Tatiana immediately tried to return the bank card.

She didn’t dare take any more of the Jackson family’s money.

Jasper’s eyes darkened. He thought of the doctor’s warning and said, “You’d better keep your sordid affairs hidden. Don’t let Grandfather find out p>

She pressed her lips together. Mustering her courage, she asked, “Did you… forget what happened that night p>

That night… she had suffered terribly.

He doesn’t believe me. Has he really forgotten everything?

Jasper’s brow slowly furrowed. “What are you talking about p>

She forced out a number. “Room 98 p>

He seized her chin, his handsome face moving close. “Who told you about that p>

She endured the humiliation, whispering, “That person… it was me p>

The next second, he chuckled. It was a laugh full of scorn. “Tatiana, you always manage to do things that I find repulsive. To save this bastard, you’re willing to tell such a pathetic lie p>

“What p>

“Do you know what’s happened to the baby’s father? Hmm p>

She trembled. “I don’t understand p>

“You will soon p>

He ordered the driver to turn the car around and head in a different direction. His face was blank, but he radiated an oppressive aura.

Tatiana didn’t know what he meant by “the baby’s father.” The baby in her belly was his!

But he seemed to have a specific person in mind.

Soon, the car arrived at a villa.
