Let's Get Married

Chapter 747: What Is the Relationship between You Two?

Just as Pehry is about to speak, he hears Jasmine cough. Then she says, "Mom, Mr. Pehry and his girlfriend are very close. It's impolite of you to ask this."

When Bridget sees her daughter lying, not only does she not feel at ease, but she is even more worried. Although they don't talk much since they entered the house, she can easily feel that their relationship is not the same as that between a boss and an ordinary employee. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

As a mother, she understands her own child. Seeing her panicked expression, Bridget already knows it.

This is probably not as simple as she thought just now.

Can it be that they are together?

Pehry is a boss, and her daughter is a student. Although this man looks very young, his actual age is much older than Jasmine's. Is there really such a relationship?

Bridget is an honest person. When thinking about these things, her expression is a little unhappy. However, she still tries her best to conceal it. After all, Mr. Pehry has helped them.

Pehry notices this and frowns slightly. He waves his hand, saying, "Ms. Bridget, try this dish."

She suddenly changes the subject, saying, "Mr. Pehry, my daughter is a simple child. We are very grateful for your help this time, but apart from thanking you, the money and its interest will be returned to you as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Pehry is stunned for a moment and says, "Ms. Bridget...."

"I will issue an IOU and ask Jasmine to hand it over to you."

Jasmine is also stunned. She pulls at the corner of her mother's clothes under the table, saying, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

"You are just a college student. Don't get involved in other things. Your father and I will find a way to quickly give the money to Mr. Pehry." Although Bridget does not say anything openly, her attitude is clear-cut.

Pehry immediately understands and frowns. However, he doesn't say anything.

After they finish eating, Bridget insists on paying the bill. Jasmine does not ask Pehry to stop her, because she knows that if she does so, her mother will be even more upset.

Before leaving, Pehry asks the driver to send them home, but Bridget refuses. Her attitude is very resolute, which embarrasses Pehry a little.

They walk to the bus stop to take the bus. Jasmine thinks of what happened just now and whispers, "Mom, Mr. Pehry is not bad. Why were you so tough just now?"

Hearing this, Bridget's tongue is loosened.

She stares at her seriously and says, "I think Mr. Pehry has bad intentions."

Jasmine is shocked. In the past, Bridget always looked at her like this when she made mistakes.

She feels confused and asks tentatively, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Bridget snorts coldly and says, "Do you really think your mother is an idiot? I noticed that you look at each other during dinner. Jasmine, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Pehry?"

Jasmine is not a good liar. She has already given the show away, and now this is another blow to her.

However, if she really admits that she is dating Pehry, she doesn't know what Bridget's attitude will be. She absolutely can't tell her, at least not now.

Jasmine lowers her head and says, "Mom, don't make wild guesses. It is the fact that he knows I live a hard life and my father is ill, so he just helps...."

"Is he really so kind-hearted?" If she hasn't seen Pehry today, Bridget might have believed him, but now she doesn't believe him at all. "Even if he is such a person, why will a boss be so attentive to his employee's mother?"

His behaviors just now were abnormal!

Bridget is an experienced person. She can see through such a trick at a glance.

Jasmine doesn't dare to argue any more. She feels too embarrassed that Bridget has found she and Pehry were casting amorous glances at each other just now.

Seeing that she doesn't say anything, Bridget knows that it is most likely her acquiescence. She feels helpless and asks, "Can it be that you indeed have an improper relationship with your boss?"

"No!" Jasmine immediately explains, "Mom, we don't have any relationship, but we do have a good impression of each other."

She says it tactfully, afraid that Bridget will misunderstand her.

"He is so much older than you, and he is a successful person. Will he like a student?" The more Bridget thinks about it, the more she feels that something is wrong. "You have been tricked, haven't you?"

"Mom, you misunderstand." Jasmine is so anxious. "He is so rich and powerful, why would he trick me like this? What's the benefit for him...? Besides, don't you trust me?"

However, Bridget is still worried. "Jasmine, you attend school here by yourself. We all miss you very much. Your relationship with Mr. Pehry has better end as soon as possible. I will definitely return the money to him."

"Also," Bridget adds, "Your aunt and uncle asked about Mr. Pehry yesterday. I didn't tell them anything, and I won't tell them either in the future. However, they must make wild guesses secretly. You are a girl, and your innocence is the most important thing. You need to know it."

Jasmine frowns. She always feels that even though she is in love with Pehry, but they haven't done anything yet. How can it be regarded as an immorality in the eyes of others?

She is a little angry in her heart. But she doesn't want Bridget to be unhappy. She nods and says, "I know."

They get on the bus back to the hospital. After they sit down, Bridget obviously hasn't recovered from the shock just now. She is looking blankly out of the window.

In the meanwhile, Pehry is texting Jasmine.

"Do you get on the bus? How do you get back?"

Jasmine carefully dims the screen of his phone to the darkest and replies quickly.

"By bus. We're already on our way home. Don't worry."

In less than half a minute, Pehry's message comes again.

"Does Ms. Bridget say anything?"

After thinking for a moment, she still can't bear to tell him the truth.

"No, my mother says that you are very nice. And she asks me to thank you."
