"Helping an outsider and helping a grandson-in-law are different levels of assistance. Joseph Shaw is ambitious and wonât be satisfied with just the level of help given to an outsider. Otherwise, Jillian Carter, would Joseph really have married her just because he genuinely likes her? I donât believe that."
Oscar Wilson shook his head, "Not everyone has the courage to like a woman as dramatic as Jillian Carter."
"Donât talk like that. Didnât you also have a crush on her before?" Jane Sampson nudged Oscar Wilsonâs arm, "Thatâs commendable courage~"
"Thatâs different!" Oscar Wilsonâs face turned completely red, and he emphasized, explaining word by word, "Who hasnât blindly loved a jerk when they were young?"
These words rolled off Oscar Wilsonâs tongue quite naturally.
"I was young at that time, my eyesight wasnât fully developed, so that crush doesnât count." Oscar Wilson shook his head, "Thatâs it."
Jane Sampson was truly dumbfounded. Could an explanation really be this quirly?
The three of them walked out of the airport amidst their banter. Since they were giving James Black and Jane Sampson a ride, Oscar Wilson drove leisurely and steadily.
Upon arriving at the Carter Family home, Oscar Wilson acted as if he was one of them and happily followed them inside.
"Granny Carter, my mission is complete. Iâve brought back your beloved granddaughter and grandson-in-law safely!" Oscar Wilson shouted to Granny Carter.
"Good job. Hereâs a reward for your encouragement." Jane Sampson smoothly took a lollipop out of her pocket and handed it to Oscar Wilson, then patted the back of his hand.
"Oh my, Jane Sampson, youâre an adult and you still carry candy in your pocket?" Oscar Wilson laughed, immediately unwrapped it, and started eating, "Alps lollipop, original flavor, and itâs pretty good."
"Delicious, but it canât keep your mouth shut!" Jane Sampson pulled James Black away from Oscar Wilson.
The candy in her pocket was actually put there by James Black, and she wouldnât have given it away if Oscar didnât deserve credit for picking them up!
Granny Carter and Old Sir Carter watched the two bickering and laughed heartily. Seeing how well Oscar Wilson and Jane Sampson got along, they were at ease.
If Oscar Wilson hadnât mentioned it before, the two elders wouldnât have known that he and Jane Sampson had known each other for so many years.
Oscar Wilson stayed for lunch at the Carter Family home before leaving. After Oscar left, Granny Carter, feeling sorry for Jane Sampson and James Black who caught an early flight, shooed them upstairs for a nap.
Jane Sampson didnât push it, yawned, and went up. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
The family banquet was to start at 6:30, held at the Carter Family home.
Around four oâclock, Jane Sampson was woken up by Mother Carter, who had just returned from outside. Even though Mother Carter knew Jane had brought clothes back, she couldnât resist buying Jane a lot of things to take home.
After waking up, Jane Sampson was in good spirits, so she let Mother Carter be happy and tried on one outfit after another for her, delighting both Mother Carter and Granny Carter.
"Didnât I say this color looks good on Jane? Such a bright yellow, others canât pull it off, our Jane certainly can." Granny Carterâs words were full of pride, "With our Jane looking so good, she can wear anything well."
"Of course, Grandpa says I look like Grandma, naturally I look good!" Jane Sampson twirled in place to show her approval of the seniorsâ taste.
These words made both Father Carter and Old Sir Carter, who were brewing tea, grin widely.
"Jane really knows how to talk; look how happy she makes your mother." Old Sir Carter beamed, turning to James Black, "You married a good wife, someone who can make anyone happy. Sheâs like a pistachio; when you see her, all the bad moods vanish."
