Chapter 143 Got grandpa’s approval
Grandpa stopped and immediately looked up at Jane. His sharp eyes fell on her like hawks and falcons. His gaze was not like a grand-father looking at a granddaughter-in-law, but like the one stared his opponents, as if he wanted to see Jane’s reality through her eyes.
Jane felt very uncomfortable.
"Grandpa..." Edwin Carter protected Jane and called again.
"You got married?" Grandpa’s eyes moved from Jane to Edwin Carter. His eyes were slightly restrained, and Edwin could not see happiness or anger in his eyes.
"Yes, grandpa." Edwin Carter held Jane’s hand tightly and answered seriously.
Edwin Carter held her hand tightly, his temperature passed to her and the worry in her heart disappeared. She raised her lips and gave him a smile, reassuring him that she was not so easy to be frightened.
Grandpa looked at them. After a while, he said, "Did you registered your marriage? Or had a wedding ceremony? Or just staying with each other as husband-wife?"
Grandpa asked many questions at a time and his tone was a little aggressive.
Edwin Carter replied earnestly, "we have already registered our marriage, and we have the certificate. We are a legal couple."
"Registered marriage? Legal couple?" Grandpa’s fierce eyes fell on them and his lips slowly repeated what Edwin Carter has just said.
"Yes." Edwin Carter’s answer was shorter, but his tone was firm, and the strength of holding Jane’s hand increased a little bit.
"Just by registering a marriage, who will know that you’re married? How could you start a married life with this girl without a decent wedding? No one knows that she is Carter’s daughter in law?"
Grandpa scolded his grandson. His fierce and complicated eyes swept over him, and in a moment his eyes changed so fast that no one noticed the difference.
And when he said this, it made everyone think that what he cared about was not that Edwin Carter had registered his marriage without informing him, but that Edwin had not held a wedding ceremony, which made their daughter-in-law suffer grievances.
"Dad, it’s cold. Let’s go in." Edwin’s father hurried forward to finish the talk.
These two people were standing there, one was his father and the other was his son, he couldn’t watch them making trouble with each other.
"Okay, let’s go in." Grandpa’s tone suddenly softened. He didn’t hold on to the matter anymore. He held Edwin Carter’s hand and Jane’s hand. He said again, "Children, we are a family. Don’t hesitate about anything. Everything we have is yours."
Grandpa took the initiative to hold Jane’s hand. It shows that he had recognized her as their daughter in law.
Everyone felt relieved.
In particular, if grandpa willingly accepts Jane, she will automatically be recognized by everyone in the Carter Family. Her relationship with Edwin Carter will last longer.
She subconsciously looked up to see Edwin Carter. Two people’s eyes fell into each other’s and they gave each other a shallow smile.
After grandpa’s arrival, the Carter Family became even livelier. Although he was old he had a very good spirit, a loud voice, and good looks, in particular, the momentum of the gestures.
That momentum seemed to control everything. Sometimes it can be seen in Edwin Carter as well.
One who controlled everything, just like a king!
Before meeting Grandpa, Jane was really worried, she lost sleep for several nights, and she thought Edwin’s parents would not accept her easily. Today, after seeing Grandpa, the big stone in her heart finally moved away.
"Grandpa, this time are you going to stay longer?" Angela Carter asked.
"Angela, sit here and talk with grandpa." Grandpa patted the position around him. His face was full of kindness. At this time, his mood finally become better.
"Grandpa, you look younger than before!" Angela Carter sat beside grandpa.
"Hahaha..." Grandpa burst out laughing, "You are such a sweet girl and you can make grandpa happy."
Everyone was sitting in the living room to chat with Grandpa. Most of the time, Angela Carter was talking. Every time she said a word, grandpa laughed. It can be seen that he also loved his granddaughter very much.
Edwin’s father occasionally said two sentences and Edwin Carter only spoke when they called his name.
Jane thought, as compared to Edwin’s family, Edwin stayed silent. Such a child was not easy to be liked, but the Carter Family had such a bloodline. Even if he didn’t say a word, he received everyone’s attention.
After a while, grandpa’s topic turned to Edwin Carter again, "John, when you registered for marriage?"
"Four months ago." Edwin Carter’s answer was still short.
"Four months is not a short time. You don’t have any good news for me?" Grandpa asked with a smile.
Hearing Grandpa asked such a sensitive question, Edwin Carter shook his hand and replied, "That can’t be forced, so let it be."
Every sentence of Edwin Carter was very brief, which made Jane more aware of his cold character. His personality hasn’t been cultivated in a day or two.
In such a harmonious and warm family, everyone talked and laughed, but he was the only one who spoke less. He seldom smiled and didn’t take the initiative to start any new topic.
After dinner, grandpa went back to his room early to have a rest.
Jane followed Edwin Carter outside for a walk. He had held her hand tightly and walked for a long time before he stopped. He watched her with burning eyes.
"What’s the matter?" Asked Jane. She was also embarrassed because he’s stared at her for a long time.
"Nothing." He raised his hand, pulled her hair away and tied them.
"Really?" Jane didn’t believe that he was really okay.
"I just want to see you." He said.
"Edwin, why your family is so good?" Jane asked.
And why her family was so miserable? Why was there a lot of difference between the two families? Jane didn’t say, but Edwin Carter knew it.
He held her in his arms again and pressed her into his arms, "Are you tired of simple, plain days?"
"How I can be?" Jane expressed surprise.
For her, an ordinary life was what she couldn’t even expect. Now that she has it, she thought she couldn’t cherish it enough. How she could get tired of her dream life?
In the past, Edwin Carter didn’t consider these things seriously. At that time he just wanted to live a happy stable life with her!
