Chapter 262 Pick On Her

Her voice was so sharp that she no longer looked like a lady.

Zephaniah’s mother felt unhappy, and she glared at Blanche.

Jade smiled and calmly said, “I’m glad that Mrs. Owens comes, but why are you following her? Your face… is really not suitable for an outing. If you terrify some kid, you will need to bear the responsibility.”

Blanche was triggered immediately. She pointed at Jade and furrowed her eyebrows.

Zephaniah’s mother turned her cold gaze at Jade and scolded her. “Jade, why do you talk like this? I didn’t realize you’re so good at talking previously. Why? Did you change after getting divorced with Zeph? Or did you become fearless because of your pregnancy?”

Zephaniah looked at her coldly. “Mom, she did not mean that. Don’t misinterpret her purposely.”

Jade smiled sarcastically. It seemed that his mother had come to pick on her on purpose. If it was the case, she did not need to tolerate her.

“You also didn’t defend outsiders like this previously. Did you decide that I’m no longer a part of Owens family since we divorced, so you don’t have to be polite with me anymore?”

Zephaniah’s mother’s face instantly turned dark.

Zephaniah called Jade in a low voice in hopes to stop her.

She could not help but frown. She was surrounded by the three of them, and she felt so depressed that she was out of breath.

She took a few steps backward, not wanting to see any of them again.

“I’m going for a pregnancy check-up. If you don’t have anything else, I’ll leave first,” she said coldly.

Blanche gritted her teeth in hatred. Didn’t she only have the babies going for her? Yet she was so arrogant!

Blanched told her herself to just wait for it. Once the babies came out, Jade would only have the status of a normal woman!

“Don’t rush. I have something to talk to you,” Zephaniah’s mother said. She turned around and said to Zephaniah, “You go ahead with your work. I’ll send her to the hospital after I finish talking to her.”

Zephaniah did not move at all. “This is what I should do. Just say whatever you want to say. After that, we’ll leave,” he said firmly.

His mother frowned. “Why? You believe me anymore? Can I hurt her?”

Jade felt annoyed and just wanted to end the situation. She raised her head and said to Zephaniah, “You leave first. We’ll just talk. I’m not that fragile.”

Blanche secretly sneered.

Zephaniah remained silent. He walked to her while looking at her with gentleness. “I’ll wait for you in the car. Once you’re done talking, I’ll send you to the hospital.”

Jade did not answer him. She turned around and looked in the other direction.

When the three of them left, Jade furrowed her eyebrows. “Please say whatever you want.”

Zephaniah’s mother blinked, and something flashed in her eyes. She furrowed her eyebrows as well. Her experience gave her the ability to easily judge people when she met them.

When her son and Jade married, she had really underestimated Jade. In the three years, her son was neither hot nor cold to her. Although she did not help him in his career, she did not make any mistakes either.

But now, after they divorced, she drove him out of his mind. She even kept the most important thing in her hands, which was the babies.

Even Zephaniah’s mother was forced to admit her existence, so she could not deny that Jade was really smart.

But it was useless. After all, the babies could not stay inside her body. One day, she would need to deliver them.

Jade hated people like that the most. There was neither kindness nor concern, but only coldness that made her feel uncomfortable within Zephaniah’s mother.

“Are the babies alright?”

The reason that could make her come in person was naturally the babies.

Jade could not help but mock her inside her mind. She did not let it show though and just thought of how to end the conversation quickly.

“They are fine. No problem.”

“Where do you go for prenatal education?”

“I’m not attending any prenatal class.”

Zephaniah’s mother frowned, and her volume increased. “Not attending prenatal class? Could you care more about your kids?”

Jade felt her anger getting stuck at her throat, and she could not say anything, so she stayed quiet.

When Zephaniah’s mother saw Jade looking aloof and not responding, she became angry. Her self-control ability was very good, so she stayed silent for a moment before saying, “I’ll find one for you tomorrow. You go and sign up for the class as soon as possible.”

Jade could not help sneering.

Blanche could not afford to see Jade being like this, so she said in scorn, “Mrs. Owens is not joking, what are you laughing at?”

Jade cast a glance at her coldly before she said calmly, “I won’t go.”

She was a human and not a thing. Why should she do whatever they wanted?

Zephaniah’s mother was rarely disobeyed like this, and her exquisite makeup could not cover her anger.

“Jade, I’m doing this for the sake of you and the babies. Why are you behaving like this?”

Jade felt that the conversation would never end if they continued arguing. She impatiently tugged at her hair before she glanced at the watch.

“I don’t want to do anything. I haven't had time to attend prenatal class recently. And it’s almost the appointment time with the doctor. We’ll talk next time if there’s anything.”

Jade turned around and wanted to leave, but she was stopped by Blanche.

“You don’t even put what Mrs. Owens said in your heart?!” Her eyes were fierce, and she looked provocative.

Jade looked neither hot nor cold. “Do you want to get slapped again?”

Without waiting for her response, she walked past her and left.

Zephaniah paid close attention to the group. The moment he saw Jade rush to the entrance of the housing area, he started the car engine and went after her.

Because of feeling wronged and angry, Jade could not tolerate anything now. She ignored Zephaniah when he honked next to her. After leaving the housing area, she called a taxi.

Zephaniah alighted from the car and pulled her to bring her into his car.

“Don’t touch me!” Jade shouted out. Her face was red from agitation. “I now regret keeping the babies and regret giving you a chance to get close to me. Zephaniah Owens, don’t wear away my last feelings for you…”

Zephaniah’s face turned pale. The woman standing in front of him looked hopeless.

She still had feelings for him, but why was she not willing to believe him?

“Jade, you never believe that I’m sincere with you.”

Zephaniah’s tone was flat, but his voice plunged into Jade’s heart. It was pulled by what felt like a silver thread, and it was so painful that she could not breathe.

Nothing could be guessed from her eyes and voice. “Whenever I tried to believe you, I fell into an abyss. I’m scared.”

Jade gasped and went to the roadside to wait for a taxi.

Zephaniah followed her from a distance. He was still worried about letting her go alone.

Jade did not have the strength to stop him from coming after her. She just let him follow as if she did not see him.

He even dealt with the registration before they went in to see the doctor, which made it obvious he was not familiar with it. He clearly did not need to handle this kind of thing normally.

When the doctor looked at the medical record, he glanced at the two of them before he said coldly, “You’re late by a week. You should pay more attention when you know you’re having twins. You should take note of the position of the fetus and make sure the indicators are normal.”

Jade blinked and felt a little embarrassed after being told off like that.

The doctor then prescribed two supplements for pregnant ladies before he passed the note to Zephaniah. “Father, please go and get these. I’ll talk to the mother about other precautions.”

Jade was stunned, and something complicated flashed in her eyes.

Zephaniah was also stunned. This was the first time he was considered a father by someone else, and his hand that held the prescription trembled slightly.

After the two of them came out from the hospital, they still did not talk.

Jade did not know when Zephaniah had asked Gemarya to come over, but he had driven over in a new car. It seemed quite pricey.

When Zephaniah saw that Jade did not want to move, he could only say softly, “Mom said I must send you home to not worry her.”

Gemarya came over. He graciously opened the door of the car, smiled, and said, “Mister Owens purposely asked me to drive a more comfortable car over. It’s new, and he looked for it for a long time. There is a seat exclusively for a pregnant lady.”

Jade could not help but sneer. “Mister Owens has good judgement in this regard. The staff you hired is very loyal, and they assist you very well.”

When Zephaniah saw that she was willing to say something strange like that, he moved his lips slightly.
