CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 1496: Chapter 1504: Registered

”Alright.” Bright Sampton nodded assuredly only after Granny Sampton had arranged everything. ”After we finish the meal, I’ll go back with my sister and brother-in-law. Granny, if you ever miss me, feel free to call anytime. When you want to travel, if no one can go with you, just call me, I’ll make time and go with you.”

”Good, good, good. I know you and your sister are both so filial.” Granny Sampton grinned from ear to ear.

Perhaps it was Jane Sampson’s culinary skills that suited Granny Sampton’s taste, or perhaps it was the company of her most beloved granddaughter and grandson, but this dinner made Granny Sampson very happy, and she ate a bit more than usual.

After eating, Bright Sampton, James Black, and Jane Sampson left together by car. James Black first drove Bright Sampton back to the training villa, and then drove himself and Jane Sampson back to the guard team.

As soon as Jane Sampson got out of the car, Peter Gingery hurried over, looking worried.

James Black had taken a few days off. Although Peter Gingery had wanted to visit Old Sir Sampton and offer his respects, he couldn’t leave the guard team, so it was pointless.

However, during the memorial service for Old Sir Sampton’s remains, Peter Gingery managed to take a few hours off and made a visit.

”Jane, are you okay? People can’t come back from the dead. My condolences. You still have all of us here for you, right?” Peter Gingery rubbed his palm, a little concerned that Jane Sampson might burst into tears upon hearing this.

”I’m fine.” Jane Sampson patted Peter Gingery on the shoulder. ”Thanks for worrying about me.”

No matter how hard it was to accept, someone who had passed was truly gone and would never return.

Jane Sampson reminded herself that Granny Sampton had already moved on. If she stayed stuck in grief, how would she be able to support Granny Sampson?

She couldn’t let things turn around to where Granny Sampson had to console her instead.

Peter Gingery scratched his head, glanced at James Black standing next to them, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and reached out to push James Black forward. ”Brother, you go ahead. I need to talk about something with Jane for a bit.”

James Black’s eyelids twitched slightly. He turned to look at Peter Gingery, who was behind him pushing him. That gaze alone scared Peter Gingery into immediately retracting his hand, adopting an expression that said: ”I know I was wrong.”

”Spineless.” Jane Sampson glanced disdainfully at Peter Gingery, then dragged him aside and stood behind James Black. With both hands, she shoved James Black’s back, urging him up the stairs while grumbling, ”If I say you should go first, then you go first. Peter and I will catch up in a bit.”

Peter Gingery stood behind Jane Sampson and swallowed hard.

It was just the New Year, and Jane Sampson seemed to have grown bolder and more fearless.

James Black gave a nonchalant ”Hmm” before finally stepping forward and heading upstairs. As soon as James Black was gone, Jane Sampson turned to Peter Gingery and asked, ”So, what did you want to say to me in private?”

”In private?” Peter Gingery shook his head. ”What’s there to say in private? I just wanted your brother to go ahead and open the door first while we chatted behind him and waited for him to go up. I wasn’t trying to kick him out.”

After receiving an annoyed eye-roll from Jane Sampson, Peter Gingery returned the favor with a roll of his own eyes. Then he explained, ”You haven’t been online these past few days. Oscar Wilson couldn’t reach you this morning, so he called me instead and reported Jillian Carter’s latest situation.”

So Peter Gingery truly hadn’t intended to say anything to Jane Sampson that James Black couldn’t hear—it was just a misunderstanding on her part.

”Last time, didn’t Oscar Wilson mention Jillian Carter’s fiancé had filed a marriage report? Well, Oscar said the higher-ups approved it, so this morning Jillian Carter and her fiancé went to the Civil Affairs Office to register their marriage and get their certificate. Jillian Carter is now officially married.” Peter Gingery clicked his tongue repeatedly in disbelief. ”How can someone get married so quickly?”

”So Jillian Carter probably isn’t living in the countryside anymore, right?” Jane Sampson didn’t care much about Jillian Carter’s marital status—she just found Jillian’s actions a bit perplexing.
