This was also Jane’s roundabout way of telling Jas Carter that her liking for Gwendolyn Young wasn’t a casual remark.
Gwendolyn Young is a folk singer, particularly famous for the Guardian Team Song, and many in the great courtyard, from three-year-olds to those in their sixties or seventies, could hum a few lines.
"What a coincidence, my grandpa was a guard too, and so was my grandfather," Jas Carter wasn’t surprised at all that Jane grew up in the team area courtyard.
The two spent a while in Jas Carter’s study on the second floor, where Jane also looked at his early manuscripts. They continued chatting until Gwendolyn Young called them downstairs for a al.
As she went downstairs, Jane noticed an extra man in team uniform, who was helping Gwendolyn carry the vegetables out from the kitchen. Gwendolyn was standing right next to him, whispering sothing softly, and after finished talking, she laughed very cheerfully. "Why is dad back at this ti?" Jas Carter was a bit surprised as he ca downstairs.
"Your mother said you brought a friend ho so she asked to co back and play host," Father Carter responded when he heard Jane greet him as uncle, he nodded and humd in acknowledgnt before realizing sothing else and added, "Feel free to ask for anything you’d like to eat; just tell Jas and he’ll get it for you."
It wasn’t until then that Jas realized that his mom, and his father who was called back from the guard team by his mom, might have misunderstood sothing.
Jane was his friend, but Mrs. Young might have mistaken her for his girlfriend, and that’s why she specifically called his father back, probably to et his future daughter-in-law, right?
Realizing this mix-up, Jas let out a soft chuckle, but noticing Jane seed unaware of any discrepancy, so he didn’t explain it to his parents in front of her to avoid making her embarrassed.
When the al was served, Jane couldn’t help but exclaim, "Teacher Yang’s culinary skills are really amazing!"
"Hey, if you’re calling Jas’s dad ’uncle,’ why still call Teacher Yang? Just call Aunt," Gwendolyn Young specifically corrected Jane’s way of addressing her.
The title ’Aunt’ sounded much warr than ’Teacher Yang’ after all.
Father Carter glanced at his wife, guessing she was quite taken with the girl.
Thinking about his wife’s personality, Father Carter assud she hadn’t clarified everything. Thus, once they started eating, he casually asked, "Your na is Jane Sampson? It’s a very nice na. What do your family mbers do for work?"
"My family?" Jane didn’t find anything wrong with Father Carter’s question, so she directly answered, "My husband is a guard, my father is a businessman, my mom is a full-ti wife, my grandpa is a guard."
"Pfft~"
"What did you say? Husband?"
Both Gwendolyn Young and her husband were stunned.
After a mont of shock, Gwendolyn Young asked, "Husband or ex-husband?"
Gwendolyn Young thought to herself that if it was an ex-husband, it was still okay as long as the girl was nice. It wasn’t easy for her son, who was already at such an age, to fancy a girl, voluntarily pick her up from the airport, and even bring her ho.
If she had been divorced, so be it. Looking at the girl, she seed decent, and this daughter-in-law, she had to accept.
"Husband." This ti, Jane picked up on sothing amiss. After all, what was this about an ’ex-husband’?
"Dad, Mom, Jane and her husband have a good relationship," Jas Carter said with a smile, his mouth corners curled up, watching his parents who looked as if they’d been struck by lightning. "Her husband is also a guard; I’ve t him."
