Chapter 910: Chapter 884 This is awkward! Chapter 910: Chapter 884 This is awkward! “No way, I urgently need advice for my upcoming exam, Uncle Liao is an authority in this area to give so opinions. As for Mr. Jade—” Camden glanced at Jade who was already looking a bit embarrassed, “their couple still need to coordinate with Kiara for the counseling, right? It’s pointless for Uncle Liao to stay here.”
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s exactly it, we mustn’t delay their treatnt.” Robert Johnson nodded repeatedly.
Such bullshit could only deceive Kiara’s mother.
It’s all about keeping Jade from pestering Robert Johnson, to get Robert Johnson out.
The reason for Jade’s visit for treatnt was just an excuse; he was very eager to cozy up to Robert Johnson. He thought after dinner he would let his wife chat casually with Kiara—a few words were enough. He didn’t believe psychotherapists were so miraculous that they could convince an unwilling daughter-in-law to change her mind about having kids. He just wanted to use this opportunity to establish a connection with Robert Johnson.
Ho was nice, but it was nothing compared to the prosperity of Q City. The stable job in the Small County Town no longer satisfied him; he hoped to get in touch with Robert Johnson and transfer here, which would be impressive.
But Camden didn’t give him that chance and whisked Robert Johnson away.
As soon as they left the house, Camden said to Robert Johnson.
“Uncle Liao, do you play chess?”
“A little, but I’m not very proficient.”
“That makes things easier.” He directly took him to his Dad’s place, to pacify that stinky flag-bearer at ho!
Mother Yuno had recently gone to Linville, leaving Mr. Yuno as a lonely, unloved old man.
It was hoped that his spouse would return ho after giving Kiara a boost, but after being busy with the Youngest’s affairs, Mother Yuno went to stay at the second son’s place and was said to be staying for a few more days.
Thus, Mr. Yuno beca a minefield, sulking at ho with a gloomy face.
Camden dragging Robert Johnson along was just perfect for accompanying the sulky Old Man. Having these two play chess together was a great idea—the worse their chess skills, the better to soothe his dad’s impending emotional breakdown.
Camden thought of himself as pretty filial.
After they left, Jade seed not to have given up yet and was trying to ingratiate himself with Kiara’s mother. But Kiara, seeing him talking with her mother, imdiately interrupted.
“Mr. Jade, this psychotherapy requires the presence of both spouses. You should co with to the room,” Kiara said.
“?”
“Yes, the treatnt must involve both spouses.” It wasn’t a lie to him; many
“My mom got a three-bedroom apartnt from the demolition compensation, and after she married Uncle Liao Walker, there were more people at ho, so he bought the neighboring apartnt and broke through the wall to combine them.”
Kiara brought over a wooden table and everyone sat down on the floor face to face.
“It’s really not easy for a remarried family like yours to be as harmonious as you are now,” said Jade, trying to cozy up to Kiara.
“There’s nothing difficult about it, our family mbers all have simple minds without too many complex thoughts. Actually, speaking of which, by rights Uncle Liao Walker of his stature shouldn’t have chosen my mom. The two families are of different social statuses. I was against my mom’s remarriage at first. I said, ‘We have so many relatives in Our Ho; what if they all co to Uncle Liao Walker and cause him trouble? Uncle Liao Walker has been incorruptible for a lifeti, never opened this can of worms before. What if it compromises his integrity due to my mom’s connections?’
This…this just turned awkward!
Jade could hardly keep a smile on his face.
Isn’t this Little Girl still in school? Has she beco so book-smart that she’s lost her common sense?
How could she say such things? How is he supposed to respond!
“Mr. Jade, aren’t you curious about what my mom said?”
“What did Aunt say?” Jade was led by the nose by Kiara, trapped in awkwardness yet unable to rebut.
He was most afraid of conversing in abstractions with her, only for her to choke him with a blunt response, leaving him unable to retort. Could it be that she’s beco foolish from all the studying, not knowing how to let soone save face, or what?
“My mom glared at , nearly slapped ! She said, ‘You little brat, that’s nonsense! When we were in trouble, not a single family extended a helping hand. Now that our days are getting better, who would be shaless enough to co crawling? Mr. Jade, I’m not talking about you. You ca to see a doctor, you’re different from those who are wolves in sheep’s clothing. After all, I’m also a doctor, and a doctor should have a heart of rcy. If you co to for treatnt, I have to treat you well.’
Jade felt as if a sharp slap had hit his face. If these words had co from Kiara’s mother or Robert Johnson ‘Father’, he could have understood their aning. But coming from a young girl’s mouth, he wasn’t sure if it was intentional or unintentional, and he could only laugh awkwardly.
“Let’s start with our treatnt then. Have there been any intractable issues in your marriage?” Kiara returned to the matter at hand after making her point clear.
It was already clear—seeking dical attention was okay, but pulling strings was definitely out of the question.
“My Sister-in-law doesn’t want to have children. You see, I’m already 27 this year, and if we don’t have a son by the ti I’m 30… The conditions back in our County Town aren’t good. Although I work at a Bank, the banks back ho can’t compare with the ones in Q City, in terms of benefits and treatnt. If I were working here—”
Kiara interrupted him, not letting him continue into inappropriate territory.
“So, the issue is that Sister-in-law doesn’t want to have a child, right? Sister-in-law, what do you think?”
“I…” The Sister-in-law, who had been silent, glanced at her husband, seemingly at a loss for words.
Kiara encouraged her to speak.
“You don’t have to see as family, just take as an ordinary doctor. Please feel free to speak your mind.”
“I don’t not want to have children, but I want to go back to work after having a child. Your Brother disagrees, insisting that I stay ho to take care of the child.”
Perhaps it was Kiara’s gentle voice that involuntarily made one want to confide in her, or maybe the Days of pent-up frustration were too much to bear, and she needed to pour out her heart. With this one statent from Jade’s wife, Jade’s polished facade crumbled.
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Jade was only looking for an excuse to get close to Robert Johnson ‘Father’. The truth about not wanting children did exist, but he didn’t intend to reveal all his family’s affairs. He always believed that the matter of the child could be discussed behind closed doors.
