"Good morning, Grandpa. I can see you've already made a full recovery." The following morning, Jessie smiled as she slid into the dining room. Din choosing to stay at the mansion with her made her happy. She became aware of Din's last night and how hard he had worked to avoid catching Grace's attention. Perhaps it's time she started teaching Grace some manners. Grace was seated there and eating when Jessie turned her head to the left. Din had declined to attend breakfast because of her. "Gracie." Jessie called. She picked up the jelly jar from the table and started slathering it on her bread. Grace looked up at Jessie. Since their conversation in the hotel, they hadn't spoken much, but Jessie could tell Grace was still angry with her. She ought not to be at all. Jessie was supposed to be the one who needed to be angry. Her husband declined to join her for breakfast due to the little girl. "Have you got anything planned for today?" She needed to leave the house, according to Jessie.
"Are you perhaps pregnant, Aunt Jessie?" Jessie stared at Gracie with her mouth open in shock. "What?" She chuckled apprehensively. "What?" Again, she spoke. She found it hard to believe such a young child would be knowledgeable about this. "Why do you think that?" Jessie asked. "Because you entered the restroom to throw up." "And don't sick people throw up? Are only those who are pregnant allowed to?" Grace sighed. "One day, my aunt Judy rushed to the bathroom to vomit. She lied to all the family, saying that she was just sick. That she had the flu, but nine months later, a baby girl was born. So, Aunt Jessie, maybe you're expecting as well. You should see the doctor." Jessie gave a nod. "I can say without a doubt that I am not expecting. So let's just keep quiet while we finish our ice cream and head back home." She looked at the time. "We spent four hours shopping." Gracie complied with Jessie's orders without protest, and Jessie saw to it that she finished her ice cream cups
Thanksgiving is a day when families are supposed to be together, and Jessie will be spending Thanksgiving with her family for the first time in years. Families were invited to the Cooper's mansion to celebrate, and Jessie extended an invitation to her mother so she could meet Din's family in person. Williams and Taylor were also not an exception. Din met with Mr. Walker two weeks ago, and he bought the home that Jessie's mother was residing in. He had threatened to have Jessie's father arrested if he entered Los Angeles to try to take advantage of Jessie and her family once more. Following that, Cedric was pleased to see that the house was once again packed with people. This time, the crowd was twice as large as it was the previous Thanksgiving. "Come on, Mom. Don't be shy." As Jessie accompanied her mother to meet Cedric and his family, she placed a hand on her shoulder. "I don't feel shy. I just feel like I shouldn't be here." Jessie sighed. "Mother. Remember, they are also par
"I can't believe they left me in the dark. I mean, I still spoke with both of them the day before yesterday." "They couldn't tell you that their plans had changed because they knew how angry you would be, so they told me instead." "Ooo. Now I am the bad cop, and you are the good cop?" In frustration, Jessie muttered. "Well, that is not what I mean, but if you put it that way, then yes. I am a good cop." Jessie cast him a glance. "What! We all know that I am the understanding one." As she reached for her food, she ripped her chicken with her fork, pinning it to the plate in a fit of rage. Din cleared his throat as he sensed her rage. "Din." Jessie made a quiet chuckle. "If I recall correctly, I am the one who understands, and you are the one who... doesn't." "Well, Jessie. I have changed. And you've been having constant temper tantrums ever since you found out you were pregnant. And I won't hold them accountable for failing to inform you about not being able to make it for Thank
As he continued to kiss her neck, Jessie realized she would no longer be able to watch "The Notebook." Din was making her horny and her hormones weren't helping. "Din." She mumbled, but she cherished how he made her feel. While still behind her, he slowly pulled the remote from her grasp and turned the TV off as he helped her to her feet. Netflix and chill, right? They were about to chill!He continued to stand behind her as he moved her hair to the side and kissed her neck once more, sending tingles through her entire body.He spun her around, quickly locking his lips to hers and pressing her tighter against him while kissing her passionately. Their passion turned to hunger; he pulled at the bottom hem of her shirt and gently pulled it up over her head while guiding her to the bed. The back of her legs hit the bed, and both of them tumbled backwards onto the bed, with him falling on top of her, both smiling and laughing.He quickly stood up, took his clothes off, then tugged on her p
The fact that Jessie would finally go shopping with Din was one aspect of the holiday that was beginning to go well. Shopping was never her thing, but this time, tree shopping was.She had a conversation with Taylor the day after Thanksgiving and knew why she had opted to spend the holiday with her boyfriend rather than her friend. Din had talked her into not being angry, and Jessie realized that Taylor had her life now. "Come on." As the door was opened, Din grabbed Jessie's hand. He grunted as he assisted her, and because Jessie was already gaining weight, carrying her was similar to lifting weights at the gym. Din didn't want to go near that area. Even though he loves Jessie dearly, he won't risk hurting himself by attempting to carry her into the mall. Besides, Jessie could walk perfectly. "I can help myself, Din.""I know, but it's my responsibility as your husband—er, boyfriend—to assist you." "Really?" Jessie let go of his hand. She smirked as she folded them across her chest
"I wasn't aware that you meant to buy them pre-made when you said you wanted to go tree shopping." Cedric approached Jessie as soon as he noticed her standing in front of the tree, jolting her out of her daydream. Jessie swiveled around to face him. "I find this ready-made to be attractive." She said. "It has silver ornaments." After clearing his throat, Cedric stopped next to Jessie. "I'm not here for the tree, though, but I still think families should work together. And by that I meant that I believed Abby and you were intended to get the ornaments and decorate together. You know, the Christmas spirit." At Cedric's response, Jessie chuckled. She took a deep breath. "Believe me, I wanted that more than anything, but I still like this one. There are still other things we can decorate around the tree with since Christmas hasn't arrived yet. Like a red and white muffler, perhaps with a tiny Jesus Christ statue or star." "I will just tell myself that you know exactly what you are doi
Jessie's only concern as she descended the stairs was to avoid talking about birthdays or anything else. She only intended to enjoy a nice meal next to Din, after which the rest of the evening would be history. "Good evening, family." She walked up to the dining room table. She was unable to bring herself to make Din's smile disappear as he gazed at her with such adoration. "Abby, it smells so good." "Thank you, Jessie." Abby spoke up as Jessie walked over to the chair to take a seat. When she looked at Din, she realized that if she kept grinning, things would get uncomfortable. Her throat was cleared. "I didn't see you all afternoon." Din put his face in Jessie's direction and dropped the spoon he was holding onto his plate. She bent to kiss his lips, and when she opened her eyes, she could see the color of his eyes, an ocean blue, as they stared down at her. With love. He took a deep breath and slowly let it out, "Well, I have been busy. Sierra had so many questions," he said, g
