Ch. 491..500
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 491
Janet’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly before she turned back to the front, seemingly not bothered by the soldiers.
When those soldiers met her gaze, their entire bodies stiffened. Her eyes were so cold—it was several times colder than the look Mason always gave them. That’s not a little white bunny! Thus, they took back the words they said about her just now.
Stunned, it took them several seconds to recover from their shock. “Let’s go; let’s go. Let’s go and ask the others if they know anything about her.” The soldiers that had been standing outside the entrance walked into the training grounds inside and recounted everything they saw to the people there.
“We saw Young Master Mason bringing a little girl over when we were standing outside just now!”
“What?! A little girl? Are you kidding? Young Master doesn’t even touch anything female!”
Mason was famous in Sandfort City for being cold and disinterested in the opposite sex. Up until today, not even a female mosquito had ever appeared beside him before. Therefore, all talks about him having a girlfriend had been regarded as rumors.
“Believe it or not, that’s what I saw. Moreover, she looks really young. She looks like a high school student. She can’t be more than 20 years old!”
“Yeah. Quite a few of us saw her too!”
“Tsk. That’s impossible. How could Young Master Mason flirt with underaged girls?”
More and more discussions soon sprang up inside the training base. All of a sudden, a senior executive of the internal management department walked in. He frowned, seeming to be unhappy about something. He knew about Janet’s existence since he often came and went between the Lowry Residence and the training base. Moreover, he also knew that John had been punished to maintain the cleanliness of the racecourse for looking down on her. And now, these soldiers are gossiping about her. If Young Master Mason and Miss Jackson were to learn about this, who knows if these soldiers will be sent off somewhere to mine for coal?
“Alright, that’s enough! Stop talking about it!” the manager said coldly. “Zayne Hurst, come with me.”
Zayne nodded and followed behind the manager.
“Young Master Mason asked you to prepare some knee guards and climbing ropes. Go and get them for him.” The manager left after relaying the message.
On the other hand, Zayne was left standing there all alone. He remained frozen in shock for several seconds. Young Master Mason normally doesn’t use any knee guards or climbing ropes. Don’t tell me that it’s just like what they say? Did Young Master Mason really bring a little girl over?! However, he didn’t have time to ponder over it before he went to the warehouse to get those items.
Fifteen minutes later, he confirmed his previous conjectures as he stared at the young girl standing next to Mason in amazement. The girl was not that tall; she was 165 cm at most. Standing next to Mason, who was 188 cm tall, inevitably made her look even more petite than she was. Most importantly, she looked very young. If my guess is right, she is only 20 at most.
Taking a deep breath, he walked over and handed the items to Mason. “Young Master Mason, these are what you asked for.”
Mason responded indifferently and reached out to take the items from Zayne.
“Sit down,” he said in a soft and gentle voice, tugging at Janet’s small hands. Janet looked up at him in confusion. “What are we doing?”
“Let’s have a rock climbing competition. I won’t be using a climbing rope or knee guards, and I’ll give you an extra minute.” While he was speaking, he tied the rope around her waist.
Upon hearing those words, she raised her eyebrows at him. She half-jokingly asked, “You’re giving me a handicap? Does that still count as a competition?”
“Then, what do you want?” Mason gave a low laugh. He knew she would say something like that. A person as competitive as her would never allow herself to be looked down upon.
Janet knew that this man would never let her go rock climbing if she refused to use the knee guards and a climbing rope. Thus, she said, “I can accept the first two conditions, but we will compete in the same amount of time.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 492
“You sure seem confident.” Mason lifted his beautiful eyes, a blue light dancing in them.
Listening to the conversation between those two gave Zayne a strange feeling. He also found it rather ridiculous. This little girl is going to compete against Young Master Mason in rock climbing yet refuses to let him give her a handicap? Isn’t she just asking for death? At her height, every step she takes will be less than half of Young Master Mason’s! He sighed and shook his head in response. When it comes down to it, Young Master Mason spoils her too much. I can’t believe he wastes his precious time on something like this.
Black Python, who was standing by the side, heard the conversation between those two and found it unbelievable too. Thus, he laughed and said, “Miss Jackson, are you sure you’re not joking?” Rock climbing was a test of arm strength and waist strength. Moreover, if one was not careful and lost their footing, they could fall. Although they were equipped with protective gear, it was still not an activity that was suitable for little girls.
“Why? Do you think I can’t do it?” To be honest, it had been a long time since Janet properly went rock climbing. All the jumping over walls and climbing buildings that she did on a daily basis were nothing in comparison. Besides, I’m rather curious about Mason’s abilities. After all, this b*stard constantly sneaked in through my window previously… I want to see just who will win between us.
“Of course not!” Black Python shook his head with an awkward smile. He could not express his opinion since the incident involving John was still vivid in his mind.
The corners of her lips curved upward, and she smiled at Mason. “I’m ready!”
ason lifted his eyes to look at her with a gaze overflowing with tenderness. She won’t let me give her an extra minute… If that’s the case, I don’t have a reason to lose if we start off on the same foot. It looks like I’ll need some serious acting for me to lose. His low voice rang out. “Okay.”
Mason and Janet walked over to the bottom of the rock face.
There were several categories in rock climbing. There were differences in the heights of the rock face as well as the difficulty levels. Generally, the heights of the rock faces could be split into 10 m, 50 m, and 100 m while the difficulty levels were divided into A, B, C, and D in terms of increasing difficulty. Naturally, Level D was the highest and the most difficult level of all.
Since the Lowry Family’s training base was filled with a bunch of young and fit youths, the infrastructure prepared there were exclusively 100-meter rock faces with a difficulty level of D.
When the competition started, Zayne did not stay to watch the excitement. The results of the competition would inevitably be… either Young Master Mason lets that girl win, or that little girl gives up halfway. It’s not worth watching.
When everybody saw Zayne coming back, they were filled with curiosity. They quickly swarmed around him and asked, “We were right, weren’t we? Young Master Mason did bring a woman with him, right?”
He nodded and replied in a flat tone, “I saw her. She was a little girl no more than 20 years old.”
Upon hearing those words, everybody immediately started talking at the same time with shocked expressions.
“That’s huge news! I can’t believe he brought a woman to the training base! What was Young Master Mason thinking?!”
“That’s right. This place is full of weapons and training grounds. What’s so fun about this place?”
Zayne gave a deep and helpless sigh at those words; he didn’t understand it either.
Among them, somebody suddenly stood out and asked, “Zayne, what did the manager ask you to do just now?”
When that matter was brought up, Zayne was filled with a sense of helplessness and incredulity. “Don’t bring that up again. You’ll only find it inconceivable if I tell you!”
“What? Tell us!” Several people surrounded him to get the whole story out of him.
Zayne grinned and involuntarily gave a snort of laughter. “Young Master Mason asked me to grab some climbing ropes and knee guards from the warehouse. He is rock climbing with the little girl!”
“Rock climbing?!”
“What the hell?!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 493
Upon hearing those words, everybody exclaimed in shock. All the rock climbing facilities there had 100-meter heights with Level D difficulty. It was hard enough for them to complete the entire course once during training. Yet, somebody was telling them that a young girl under 20 years old was going to challenge it? If that isn’t a joke, what is? “That’s ridiculous! I can’t even get out of bed for three days after climbing to the top! Both my arms and thighs were trembling badly!”
“So… Young Master Mason is probably letting that little girl try out something new and exciting.”
Zayne shook his head and denied it. “Nope, she seems to be taking it seriously. Young Master Mason offered to give her an extra minute, but she refused it! She said something about not needing a handicap.”
Everybody had expressions of horror and amusement after hearing those words.
“What?! She’s taking it seriously?! She’s going to suffer a terrible defeat!”
“She wouldn’t be able to win even if Young Master Mason gave her a five-minute handicap.”
“Hey, hey. That’s hard to say. After all, Young Master Mason is so powerful. The little girl he loves might be incredible too.”
“That’s right. I think it may be one powerful opponent against another.”
“Tsk. She really doesn’t look it with that frail body of hers!”
Normally, these soldiers did not like to engage in gossip. However, they seemed more than happy to talk when it came to Mason. They didn’t even notice that somebody had appeared behind them.
“What are you talking about?” The manager had his eye on this group for a while now as they had been passionately gossiping about something. If Young Master Mason and Miss Jackson heard those words, these guys would experience the same fate as John.
When those soldiers saw the manager approaching, they lowered their heads and looked down as if they had not said anything.
“I advise you to gossip less about this. No matter what you say, she is the person Young Master Mason has decided on.”
Zayne seemed taken aback by the news. He lifted his eyes and looked at the manager with a puzzled look, “Huh? Is she our future young mistress?”
“Uh—” Several soldiers looked dumbfounded too. That little girl looks like she is no more than 20 years old. Is she really going to become our young mistress?
The manager nodded. Covering his mouth, he secretly said, “Do you know John from the previous racecourse? He was punished by Young Master Mason precisely because he ran his mouth like you guys are doing now.”
“We remember! We remember!” Everybody nodded in response. How could they forget? News of that incident spread across the entire training grounds at the time—everybody knew about it. However, what they did not know was that John had been punished for offending the little girl. F*ck! That’s way too unbelievable?! How can Young Master Mason spoil her so much that he is willing to punish his own people for her?!
“We won’t do it again. Please don’t tell Young Master Mason!” the soldiers begged.
The manager glanced at the few of them coldly. “Go back to work.”
“We’re going now!” The soldiers practically scrambled out of there.
Meanwhile, Zayne was still in shock and couldn’t recover from it. F*ck! Thank goodness I didn’t say anything in front of Young Master Mason just now. Otherwise, I might have been sent to perform forced labor somewhere by now. He hesitated for a bit and decided against going back to watch the competition.
On the other side, Mason turned his head and smiled slightly. “Babe, give up if you can’t continue, alright? Don’t injure yourself.”
Janet was looking at the rock climbing platform. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and her smile was rather wild and wicked. For some reason, her whole body felt very energetic whenever she stood on training grounds. Lifting her eyebrows at him, her scarlet lips moved lightly. “Mason, just give up if you can’t finish the course.”
Upon hearing those words, Mason smiled in anger. I only said that because I’m seriously worried about her!
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 494
But, why do I feel like it’s a provocation when it comes from her?
Black Python and Sean covered their mouths and suppressed their laughter. Miss Jackson is so cute to even deliberately remind Young Master Mason to give up. Mason was an expert rock climber, who once won an international championship. With Janet’s petite physique, she might tire herself out as soon as she started climbing.
Meanwhile, those two started climbing before the others noticed.
“Wow! Young Master Mason’s speed is amazing! He’s truly worthy of being the champion of the international championship!” Black Python expressed his admiration.
On the other hand, Janet looked up and realized that the man was already half a body ahead of her. She had not expected this man to be so fast. No wonder he used to sneak into my room with such ease…
Janet and Mason’s competition had attracted a bunch of nosy soldiers over. Even Zayne, who had decided against coming to watch the competition, eagerly came over.
“Young Master Mason is way too amazing!”
“By the way, who is that little girl?”
“I heard from the manager just now. It’s our future young mistress!”
“Young mistress? Why didn’t I know about this?!”
“Who knows? Although Young Master Mason hasn’t made it public yet, he brought the young mistress to the rock climbing area here. That’s a huge honor to us!”
“If that little girl is our young mistress, why doesn’t Young Master Mason slow down and wait for her?”
The audience below was full of excitement, but the on-stage competition was burning even more intensely.
Just as Mason was getting into it, he heard the words ‘slow down’ coming from the audience below. Thus, his speed immediately decreased. Needless to say, it wasn’t because he looked down on Janet’s capabilities. He simply could not bear to watch as she tired herself out trying to catch up to him.
When Janet saw the man slowing down, she smiled and deliberately asked, “What’s wrong? Are you running out of stamina?”
Upon hearing those words, the man’s movements froze for a moment. He was quiet for several seconds before he said lightly, “I can’t believe you have doubts about that.” It looks like I’ve been too generous with her. Any man would take those words as an open provocation of their abilities.
In response, Janet’s lips curved slightly as she increased her speed. Her steps were rhythmic, and almost every movement seemed to flow in a single motion. Her hands were very nimble too. There was no hesitation whatsoever every time she lifted her arms.
Both of them were moving at a fast speed. Outsiders would think that they were almost at their limit. However, only both of them knew that they were using no more than 30% of their true strength.
Originally, the audience watching from below had assumed that Mason was simply playing around with the young girl. They also believed that the girl would not last for long. Contrary to their expectations, the competition between those two was unexpectedly professional.
They watched Janet’s nimble body. The strength of her arms spurred the movement of her body upward. At the same time, her arms vaguely revealed the muscles underneath.
Every batch of soldiers had different training programs inside the training base—those in the rock climbing program were constantly trained in rock climbing. The purpose of the training was to learn how to sneak into the enemy’s base. Climbing was a basic requirement for that. Therefore, they trained day after day. It was no surprise that they were extremely familiar with this activity. Even so, they were amazed by Janet’s speed.
“Woah! Isn’t that little girl way too flexible?!”
“Tsk. The way she finds her footing is d*mn good too.”
“Fifteen minutes have passed; that little girl isn’t even panting yet.”
“Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Her stamina is f*cking amazing! I told you; the woman Young Master Mason chooses surely wouldn’t be too bad!”
Meanwhile, Black Python, Sean, and the others were also shocked by the sight in front of them.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 495
The champion of the national rock climbing championship was tied with Janet in a rock climbing competition. It was completely unimaginable. Moreover, Mason was a man. He naturally had more physical strength than a girl. However, one could not tell who was winning and who was losing in their competition.
Black Python stared at the two people on the rock face in a daze. He asked, “Is Young Master Mason going easy on her?”
Although Black Python was aware that Janet could sneak down a building from the 12th floor, rock climbing was a different matter altogether! Not only was she faced with rugged rocks, but she was also climbing a 100-meter route with Level D difficulty! No matter how he thought about it, she couldn’t be climbing at the same pace as Mason, the champion of the national rock climbing championship. Besides, Mason was usually so protective of her.
In all likelihood, he was letting her win on purpose for the sake of her reputation. After all, everybody felt that the powerful young master should not be together with such a little girl. Young Master Mason must be cooperating with Miss Jackson to put on this show to convince everybody else about her. I have to admit that their acting is pretty good—outsiders will not be able to see through their performance.
On the other hand, Sean frowned deeply without saying anything. There is a reason why Miss Jackson is so good at rock climbing. I’m certain she has a strong foundation. After all, she is the head of the MX. Her skills won’t be too lacking. However, he did not say those words to Black Python—it was still just a conjecture between him and Mason.
At the moment, Zayne was completely dumbfounded as he watched the competition from below. Although he decided not to come and join in the fun, his curiosity drove him here—he wanted to see how capable the little girl Mason approved of was. But now, he understood completely.
Mason’s rock climbing speed was the fastest in the entire training base. Up until now, nobody managed to break his record before. However, he was currently evenly tied with the little girl—nobody could tell who was going to win. If she was a man, she would probably leave him in the dust. All of a sudden, Zayne felt that his thinking was rather stupid. This little girl is not human!
As the competition became more and more intense, even the soldiers that had been standing at the entrance just now came over to watch. They originally wanted to come and make fun of the ‘future young mistress’, but they were shocked by what they saw instead when they arrived at the scene.
Somebody shouted, “Is she a demon?!”
Another person jeeringly yelled back, “What demon?”
This training base was extremely secure—even demons would not be found here.
“Look!” That person lifted his eyes and looked up at the rock. The sight nearly made him fall to his knees in shock. The competition was almost over, yet the speed of both competitors remained at a draw.
“D*mn! This little girl is serious!”
“F*ck! I thought Young Master Mason was only here to fool around with her. I can’t believe this!”
“This person’s rock climbing skills are amazing! Her speed seems… She seems to be faster than all of us!”
The audience suddenly felt their scalps go numb in a sudden realization. This little girl definitely received training in professional rock climbing before. Otherwise, it was impossible for her to be so fast.
Even Black Python, who had doubted Janet just now, couldn’t help exclaiming in surprise, “F*ck! Miss Jackson is wild!”
Black Python could never have imagined that Janet had not even been using her full strength during the first half of the competition. She only exerted her full strength during the second half of the competition. Therefore, the results were extremely shocking when she put her mind to it. This was akin to a competition between a leopard and a lion. Both parties were gritting their teeth and refusing to give the other party a winning chance.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 496
Exclamations of shock rang out through the audience. The change was so sudden that they felt as if they were dreaming. At this time, the competition was nearing its end, and both of them had used up a lot of their strength.
Janet glanced at Mason faintly. It had been a long time since she had truly gone rock climbing. The sweaty feeling was very uncomfortable. Her sweat kept pouring down her forehead and even her palms were sweaty. The slimy feeling of sweat was not beneficial to the competition. If she was even the slightest bit careless, she could fall because she would lose her grip. Therefore, she freed one of her hands and wiped the sweat off her palm on her shirt. Then, she exchanged hands and repeated her actions.
Mason glanced sideways at her, feeling surprised. Then, he suddenly began going down the rock face, step by step.
She was taken aback by his actions. Why is he heading down suddenly?
“I’ve lost.” He pursed his lips and smiled lightly. “You’ve won. Come down.”
“Huh?” She blinked and asked puzzledly, “But, you seem to be in great condition!” How can he end the competition just because he wants to? Our target is just right in front of us!
He smiled helplessly. “I’m out of stamina. This is your win.”
She looked at his smile and, more or less, realized something. “Fine. I’m tired too!” She smiled at him as she slowly came down from the rock face. The man isn’t tired; he just doesn’t want me to continue climbing. Is it because I wiped my hands just now? Is that why he thought I was out of stamina and gave me a way out?
When she slowly landed on the ground, he stepped forward to catch her.
Meanwhile, the audience was instantly stunned by what they saw. The two experts had almost reached the top; why did they end the competition just like that?! We were engrossed in it…
He supported her waist with both his arms and squeezed her small hands. “Are your arms sore?”
“Nope!” She blinked, panting slightly as she turned her brilliant gaze on him. “What about you? Are you okay?”
“Nope.” He pursed his lips as if he was very uncomfortable. “Won’t you give me a massage when we get back?”
Upon hearing those words, she raised her eyebrows at him. She said in a wicked yet charming voice, “Sure. 10 million each time; no bargaining.”
He gave a low laugh and narrowed his eyes as he reached out and pinched her cheeks. “Then, I’ll have to trouble you to help me out.”
Everybody in the audience was dumbfounded. Why are they suddenly flirting with each other?
Sean patted Black Python on the shoulder and smiled. “Do you still think Young Master Mason was going easy on Miss Jackson after watching their competition?”
Black Python lowered his head without saying anything. The humiliation he felt came too suddenly—so much so that he wished that the ground would open up and swallow him whole on the spot.
When Sean saw that Black Python was being quiet, he felt like teasing Black Python even more. “Why don’t you try and challenge Miss Jackson in a competition?”
“No, no, no! That’s impossible! I don’t have the guts! My speed is no match for Miss Jackson!” Black Python refused without even thinking about it. Although Janet had gone through one round of competition, her condition didn’t seem much different from before the competition started. Her stamina is way too good! If I challenge her right now, won’t I become the butt of jokes?!
Although the competition ended midway, everybody found it very enjoyable to watch. At the same time, they also realized that Mason’s woman, who resembled a small white bunny, was actually a big bad wolf!
“Miss Jackson, I didn’t expect you to be so good!” Sean stepped forward and praised her.
Janet’s pink lips curved upward as she raised her eyebrows at him. It was a rather imposing look. “Why? How pathetic am I in your expectations?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 497
Sean laughed lightly and pushed his glasses up his nose. “No, no. The results today were well within expectations!”
When Janet heard that, she pursed her lips and glanced at him meaningfully.
On the other hand, Mason had no expression on his face as he put his arm around her waist and said in a low voice, “Let’s go clean up first.”
“Okay,” she responded absent-mindedly.
After bypassing Sean and Black Python, a male voice sounded out from behind them. A male soldier was staring at Janet with bright eyes. His gaze was filled with admiration. “Young Miss Jackson, that was incredibly amazing! Did you learn rock climbing professionally? Can I ask you for tips about finding my footing?”
“Young Miss Jackson, can you teach me too? I couldn’t see how you positioned your legs clearly. Can you demonstrate it for us again?”
Just now, these soldiers had been addressing her as ‘the little girl’. However, they quickly changed the way they thought of her. They now addressed her as ‘Young Miss Jackson’. Mason’s long and narrow eyes shifted slightly, glancing at the male soldiers trying to gain Janet’s favor in displeasure.
“Does it matter who teaches you? Does it make a difference?”
Of course!” The male soldiers answered in unison. Although they were quite good at rock climbing, they could not move as quickly and agilely as Janet.
Upon hearing the soldiers’ reply, Mason narrowed his eyes. His hand tightened around Janet’s waist, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.
As the soldiers seldom came into contact with Mason, they failed to detect his mood. However, Sean immediately noticed that the aura around Mason became extremely cold. Thus, he hurriedly stepped forward and directed his words to the male soldiers. “Hurry up and leave. Young Master Mason and Young Miss Jackson would like to go and freshen up.”
Mason curved his lips, feeling rather satisfied with Sean’s actions. “Leave us.”
Janet faintly lifted her eyes and said to the male soldiers, “If you really want to learn from me, I’ll make a tutorial video for you guys at a later date.”
Her voice was cold and soft, but the words she said were very heartwarming.
Meanwhile, he hugged her waist. In a low and seductive voice, he said, “Let’s go and rest for a bit.”
After that, the two of them left together. One walked leisurely while the other walked with awe-inspiring arrogance as they headed into the lounge.
After Mason and Janet left, the soldiers started to disperse too. Zayne walked away with several others, saying as he walked, “I can’t believe how great Young Miss Jackson is at rock climbing despite her small stature!”
“That’s right! I can barely believe it either! Her ability sure doesn’t match her appearance!”
“Maybe Young Miss Jackson is also a champion of one of the rock climbing competitions.”
“Still, Miss Young Jackson is so amazing. Do you think Young Master Mason taught her himself?”
“Hey, that makes sense! Otherwise, where did she learn rock climbing?”
“Absolutely!”
Those people were talking among themselves when they ran into the manager of the rock climbing area. “Zayne, pack up the items and store them back in the warehouse.”
Zayne nodded. He was about to turn back and leave when the manager spoke up again. “Don’t gossip about others behind their backs when you meet again.”
They nodded in embarrassment. Then, somebody suddenly stood up and asked, “Sir, do you think Young Master Mason taught Young Miss Jackson rock climbing? Her skills are so amazing!”
“Why do you think so?”
“I just feel that Young Miss Jackson’s rock climbing skills are so good that it’s unlikely she learned them on her own,” Zayne added, stepping forward.
The manager laughed when he heard that. He cupped his hands around his mouth and whispered in a steady and low voice, “Let me tell you a secret… Have you heard of the overall top scorer of the college entrance exams this year?”
Several people nodded in response. “Of course!” Most of the soldiers had younger siblings, and some of their siblings happened to be candidates in the college entrance exams this year.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 498
Moreover, they heard that the overall top scorer of the college entrance exams this year achieved full marks. It was an unprecedented event. Coincidentally, the top scorer also originated from Sandfort City.
Zayne looked up and asked in confusion, “Why are you telling us this?”
The manager snorted. “Do you still not understand?”
Everyone fell into a confused silence. What does he mean? Is there another meaning behind his words?
“Don’t tell me… Are you saying that Young Miss Jackson is the overall top scorer of the college entrance exams this year? The top scorer with perfect scores?!” Zayne’s body stiffened, and he had an expression of disbelief.
Upon hearing those words, everybody froze in shock for several seconds. A long while passed before they came back to their senses and shook their heads. They found it unbelievable. “Zayne, you’re overthinking it. How could Young Miss Jackson—”
Before that person could finish his sentence, the manager interrupted him. He smiled lightly and puffed out his chest with a rather proud expression. “That person is none other than Miss Young Jackson.”
The manager’s words scared several men into taking a few steps back. What the hell?! The overall top scorer of the college entrance exams this year is Young Miss Jackson?! She’s also a straight-A student?
“Sir, are you sure you didn’t get it wrong?” Zayne thought, I never expected such a talented straight-A student to appear among us. Moreover, it turned out to be Miss Young Jackson, whom everybody admires! But, that’s not how we imagined a straight-A student to look like! At the very least, a straight-A student should be a quiet girl wearing glasses!
The expressions of amazement on the soldiers’ faces were as if it was their first time coming to the city from the countryside. The manager studied their amazement, finding it extremely amusing. Thus, he cleared his throat lightly, covered his mouth, and added, “I’ll tell you something even more unbelievable!”
“What is it?” They widened their eyes, feeling extremely curious; they were curious about what else the manager could tell them that would shock them even further.
“Old Madam Lowry’s disease was cured by Young Miss Jackson!”
Everybody became dumbstruck upon hearing those words… Old Madam Lowry’s disease was cured by Young Miss Jackson?! Doesn’t that make Young Miss Jackson the legendary divine doctor?! A girl no more than 20 years old is the divine doctor?! Not only is Young Miss Jackson a straight-A student, but she’s also a divine doctor? Moreover, she’s an expert in rock climbing! What the hell?! That’s way too strange!
These soldiers underwent training at the training base all year round. Although they heard some news from the outside world, they never thought much about it. They had never seen the divine doctor that cured Old Madam Lowry’s disease—there was not even a single photo that they could find about that person. Therefore, they found it ridiculous to learn that the young lady just now was none other than the divine doctor.
By the time they recovered from their shock, the manager had walked away. Zayne blinked and asked the soldier next to him, “Was I hallucinating just now?”
The soldier blinked back at him. “It’s not a hallucination!”
Besides, the manager had no reason to deceive them… It’s the fcking truth! Thinking back on the things they said about Janet, they felt like slapping themselves hard. How could we have been so ignorant?! No wonder John ended up with such a bad fate! Fortunately, we didn’t say anything in front of Young Miss Jackson! Perhaps, we are no better than dog sht in her eyes. What reason do we have to question or dislike her?
Back inside the lounge, Black Python jokingly said, “Miss Jackson, I can’t believe how great your rock climbing skills are. Did you see the looks on those soldiers just now?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 499
Mason curled his lips into a smile that did not reach his eyes. “Oh? What kind of looks? Tell us.”
Then, Black Python exaggeratedly described it. “Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. It was a look of admiration! It’s the first time I’ve ever seen them showing an expression like that! I think you’re probably a goddess to them by now.”
Janet lifted her gaze, seemingly unfazed. “I’m going to take a shower!”
“Okay, go ahead!” Mason responded lightly. Although he looked like he was in a good mood on the surface, she couldn’t help feeling that his smile was rather sinister!
She didn’t bother thinking too much about it. Picking up the clothes the man prepared for her in advance, she headed into the bathroom.
When he heard the bathroom door closing behind her, the smile on his face vanished immediately.
Sean and Black Python both said nothing. Then, Black Python wondered, Did I say something wrong? But, those soldiers were indeed admiring Miss Jackson! Right?
Mason took out a lighter followed by a cigarette from the cigarette pack. Lighting the cigarette, he took a deep drag on the cigarette and slowly exhaled out the white smoke. His voice was emotionless as he asked, “Why are you still here?”
Upon hearing those words, Sean and Black Python exchanged glances. Afterward, they walked out with their heads lowered. When Black Python closed the door behind him, he looked at Sean in bewilderment. “Mr. Sean, did I say something wrong?”
Sean did not respond. He glanced at Black Python indifferently before he turned around to leave. Black Python, you troublemaker!
15 minutes later, Janet came out of the bathroom. She used a towel to dry her hair as she glanced about suspiciously. “Where are the rest?”
“They left!” Mason lifted his gaze. Looking at her hair which was still dripping wet, he beckoned her over. “Come here; I’ll help you.”
Thus, she leisurely walked over to him and handed the towel to him. Mischievously blinking at him, she said, “Thanks!”
He raised an eyebrow at her and gave a low laugh. “Massage my arms for me later.”
Between drying her hair and massaging his arms, it was her loss in terms of the amount of work involved for those two tasks. She pouted. “Are you sure you’re a man? I didn’t even complain about my arms being sore. Why are you complaining?”
“Do you want to check if I’m a man?” He pursed his lips, looking very interested.
She sat on the bed and did not respond. She was regretting blurting out the words ‘are you sure you’re a man?’ without thinking. This man will always have a way to twist the meaning behind my words into something else.
Holding the towel in his hands, he lowered his head with a smile in his eyes. His actions were especially gentle.
All of a sudden, the sound of a phone ringing shattered the beautiful moment between them. The man’s low voice rang out. “It’s yours.”
She lowered her eyes to look at her phone. The caller ID indicated that the call was from Jade. Her gaze wavered slightly as she picked up the phone and answered it. A familiar and kind voice transmitted through the phone. “Janet, I brought back some nice souvenirs for you. I’m sure you’ll love them.”
The corners of her lips lifted slightly, and her voice was soft as she said, “Have you returned?”
“Yes!” Jade sounded like a pampered child. “Are you coming back now?”
Janet glanced at the time. She paused for a moment before saying, “Yes! I’ll be there later!”
After she hung up, Mason raised an eyebrow slightly. His hands that had been drying her hair stopped moving as he asked, “Where are you going?”
“Um… My grandmother came back from her travels. Send me back home later!”
Go home? The upward curve of Mason’s lips flattened. He asked in a quiet voice, “Will you still be staying at the Lowry Residence?”
Upon hearing that, Janet snorted with laughter. Just what is this man thinking?!
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 500
Does he think I’m going to go back and live in the Jackson Residence?! Janet gently tugged on the man’s sleeve and said with a smile in her voice, “Send me back to the Jackson Residence to take something!”
When Mason heard those words, his thin lips finally curved upward slightly again. He sneakily pinched her slightly cool earlobes. “Okay, let’s go!”
The black Maserati flew down the road. They had gone back to the Lowry Residence to pick up something before heading to the Jackson Residence.
10 minutes later, the black Maserati came to a stop outside the Jackson Residence. Janet unbuckled her safety belt to get out of the car. “I’m heading inside!”
All of a sudden, a man’s low and magnetic voice rang out. “Aren’t you going to show me your appreciation for bringing you here?”
Her face blushed slightly. Without thinking too much, she leaned close to the man’s face, puckered her cherry lips, and kissed him. After that, she fled out of the car in one smooth movement and walked into the Jackson Residence without looking back.
Mason touched his face; it still held her residual warmth. Then, he looked at her as she quickened her pace. The corners of his lips curved upward, and his eyes were filled with want.
Janet approached the door and pressed the doorbell; Jade answered the door. The moment she saw Janet, her face lit up with a smile immediately. “I missed you, Janet.”
Janet smiled and handed Jade the gift she was holding in her hands.
However, Jade took the present and placed it aside without giving it much thought. “Come in!”
“Where are they?” A cold voice rang out.
She seemed taken aback but smiled a moment later. “Are you talking about Megan and Brian?”
“Yeah!”
“They are attending a dinner party. I think they’ll be back soon.”
Janet gave a non-committal response. Pursing her lips, a gentle expression appeared on her face. “Why don’t you take a look at the present I brought for you?”
At the mention of gifts, Jade remembered the imperial green jade bracelet that she brought back from Yobril. “Come, come. Give me your hand!”
Janet was slightly stunned. After a while, she stretched out her left hand to her grandmother. To her surprise, her left hand was slapped away. “Silly child, bracelets should be worn on the right hand.” Jade snatched Janet’s right hand over as she said that, simultaneously rolling Janet’s sleeve up. She was astounded to see that Janet was wearing a blood-red bracelet on her right arm. The color was strange, and it looked very mysterious.
“Uh…” She looked doubtful. “What is this?” Although she had seen many oriental jasper bracelets before, she had never seen any oriental jaspers with such a bright color.
Janet pursed her lips. She did not plan to tell her grandmother about the origins of this blood-red bracelet. After all, the old lady would probably not be able to accept it! Therefore, she said, “It was a gift. I’m not sure either.”
Upon hearing those words, Jade seemed to realize something. She carefully observed the bracelet for a while before asking, “Is it a gift from your boyfriend?”Based on Janet’s temperament, she would never accept a gift from somebody she was not close with, much less wear it on her hand. Thus, there was only one possibility.
Janet nodded and said quietly, “Yes.”
“No problem. You can wear mine on your left hand. I heard from the monk that this imperial green jade can bring you good fortune and a happy marriage. It’s very effective!” Jade prattled on and on about luck and so on. Meanwhile, Janet simply nodded agreeably.
“So, what did you give me?” Jade looked excited and shy. She appreciated anything that Janet gave to her.
In response, Janet picked up the box on the table and handed it over. She said lightly, “Go on and open it! I think you will like it.”
