Chapter 22 Dear, Be Careful
That’s an awful metaphor.
Jenny shivers convulsively, looking at her own belly after recalling the pregnant woman in the hospital.
“Really...” She can’t think of what else to say, faking a smile at Mrs. Lu.
“Listen, things will get particularly harder after you get pregnant. You must always be careful!” Mrs. Lu
moves Jenny to the sofa carefully in case she would crash into something.
“Jenny, you live here from today!” Mrs. Lu says in such a firm tone that Jenny has no chance to
negotiate. “Don’t work anymore. I’ll ask maids to take good care of you.”
“Ah? No, I don’t...” Jenny gets a bit anxious, worrying Mrs. Lu would really force her to stay.
Before she is about to say something, Mrs. Lu pats on her hand and says, smiling, “Don’t worry. I
promise Luke will spend more time with you, taking you out for a walk and giving prenatal education.”
“The bone soup.” Then Mrs. Lu hurries to the kitchen.
Jenny says nothing.
Mrs. Lu keeps Jenny in Lu’s.
Four capable maids are appointed to take care of her daily routine. The most prestigious wedding
dress and jewelry designers are invited. If Jenny likes none of their designs, Mrs. Lu will ask Luke to
invite other designers.
Yet Mrs. Lu’s considerate care overwhelms Jenny, leaving her in panic all the time.
How could she marry Luke, a man having nothing to do with her?
Jenny brainstorms every possible way to get away all the time. She disguised herself as different
characters, a maid going out to throw the rubbish and an assistant cook going out to purchase food.
But Mrs. Lu managed to stop her every time she was about to leave.
“I know, it’s the rehearsal, isn’t it?” Mrs. Lu seems to have no clue of her escape, and persuades her
and shows great care, “Jen, stop practicing. No more acting for a period of time. Just take care of my
great grandson.”
Jenny giggles, not knowing how to respond.
Jenny can’t bear anymore three days later in Lu’s, so she starts to plan escape again.
She sneaks downstairs at most maids’ nap time, runs to the garden through the living room and climbs
onto the top of a wall by the pipe. There suddenly comes the voice of Mrs. Lu.
“Oh, no! My dear, what are you doing up there?” Mrs. Lu runs to Jenny followed by the maids. She can
hardly breathe and her face turns pale when seeing Jenny sit high on the wall.
“Get a ladder, hurried!” The pale-looking Mrs. Lu shouts at the maids and turns to Jenny, “Oh please.
You scare me and the baby.”
Jenny’s smiling countenance looks even more terrible than her crying one.
To her surprise, her plan to sneak out at nap time still fails.
At this moment, a black sports car comes in the yard and a tall figure gets out of it. The combination of This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
a white shirt, trousers and exquisite Tourbillon on the left wrist presents elegance and composure.
Luke throws his car key to the butler and walks to Mrs. Lu. He frowns at the sight of those maids,
“Grandma, what are you doing in the sun?”
“Come, your wife climbed onto the wall!” Mrs. Lu drags Luke back and points Jenny on the wall, saying
terribly anxiously, “She’s high up there. I’m scared to death!”
Luke looks up, following Mrs. Lu’s finger.
