Chereads / My boss, My lover / Chapter 17 - His Dad

Chapter 17 - His Dad

Jennie? Jennie wake up I said tapping her.

" I wanna sleep more" she said rubbing her belly

But we're here? what! Already?? Let's go she said hopping out of the car

We went in and saw my parents in the living room. Hi mom hi dad

My baby mom said getting out of her seat and hugged me tightly

Hello ma Jennie said awkwardly smiling faintly. She's pregnant?! And you didn't bother to tell us about it?

"I'm sorry mom, I thought I did"

Anyways I'm so happy I'm gonna be a grandma soon she said happily

Jennie's POV...

I noticed the distance between Xander and his dad, and I could tell they didn't get along he didn't even join in the conversation

Where's Hannah? Xander said looking around, that girl is probably with her boyfriend or her bestie's place.

I don't know what she's been up to these days

Come let's have lunch his mom said leading us to the dining room

She served the food.

Wow! this lasagna is fire I thought.

I would've finish the entire plate if I was home alone.

But this is my in-laws house so I gotta behave

His dad joined us minutes later and still didn't say anything.

I would like to know you better if you don't mind his mom said with a warm smile

Of course not ma

So what's your name? My name's is Jennifer Thompson

What about your parents? They passed away years ago I said sadly and felt Xander's hand on mine under the table

"My condolences" his mom said

Honey why are you not saying anything she said turning to his dad

Why did you break up with Mia? he said facing Xander

She cheated on me dad!

"You could have just forgiven her, everyone makes mistake"

Instead of bringing her here! he said pointing at me.

His sour words hit me badly, and being pregnant didn't help at all

I will marry Jennie with or without your consent! Xander said standing up and grabbed my hand

"We're leaving"

But....no buts mom I can't sit here and watch him insult her like this

"And we left"

Xander's POV.....

Throughout the ride home, Jennie was quiet and looked ahead blankly

When we got home she went straight to the bedroom. Changed her clothes and got in bed

Babe I'm really sorry if my father hurt you in anyway he...

I want to be alone right now Xander please leave the room she said pulling up the blanket

Jennie i.... Which part of I want to be alone do you not understand!

Leave please I don't wanna see you right now, but...

Okay fine I'll leave if you don't want to

she said standing up and headed to the door

Wait okay I'll go I said leaving the room and I heard her slam the door shut

My dad always find a way to ruin things for me. It would've been better if he didn't open his mouth

My dad and I had a bittersweet relationship, ever since he wanted to make decisions for me and I disagreed he never treated me the same again.

Now he's hurt Jennie with his malicious words

Few hours later.....

It's ten already.

I went back to the bedroom and the door was surprisingly unlocked.

I went in a saw Jennie sitting on the bed it looked like she was in her head

Jennie? I tapped her shoulder and she flinched coming back to reality

Yeah what is it? I....i just wanna apologize for what my dad said. I'm really sorry

You don't have to, it's not your fault she said shifting away from me

"By the way, I'm going somewhere tommorow" she declared

Where are we going? We?! I'm going there alone she said facing me.

Why do you want to go out alone?

Why can't I? I'm an adult and I can go wherever I want!

I didn't mean it like that, but why won't you take me with you.

Cause it's personal, but....no buts Xander I'm going and that's final!

Are you serious right now? Very serious she said slightly angry

Okay fine I said in defeat.

Arguing with her means war which I don't want

Goodnight she said adjusting her position and turning her back against me

Am I not getting any tonight? I said rubbing her shoulder

Don't touch me Xander! she warned.

I wanted to discuss the wedding with my parents but my dad ruined everything
