Chapter 495 Someone Has Their Eyes on Jennifer
James was truly shocked Dennis made such a concession just to get him and Jennifer to have a child quickly.
So, for a moment, he didn't know how to respond. In fact, he didn't care whether the child had the last name Smith or Johnson. As long as the child was healthy and happy, the last name wasn't that important. Did it mean that if the child had the last name Johnson, it wouldn't be his child?
However, faced with Dennis's expectations, James couldn't refuse and had to agree vaguely.
After dinner, the family sat together to watch TV and chat about routine. By ten o'clock, Dennis and his wife were tired and went to bed.
Jennifer and James were left alone in the living room, and the atmosphere was a bit subtle.
Jennifer thought for a moment, gathered her courage, and leaned into James's arms, resting her head on his shoulder.
Neither of them spoke, quietly watching TV and enjoying this warmth that had been delayed for five years.
After a while, Jennifer broke the silence and softly asked, "James, do you want a child?"
James said, "I do."
"Then let's have one."
"Okay." James wrapped his arm around Jennifer's waist and leaned in to kiss her.
Just as their lips were about to touch, Jennifer blocked his mouth, a bit embarrassed, and said, "Not tonight."
"Hmm?" James was puzzled.
Jennifer blushed slightly and said, "I started my period yesterday."
'I can't believe I forgot about that.' Jennifer thought.
That night, James didn't sleep on the floor again; he cradled Jennifer as they slept.
In the following days, James returned to a peaceful and warm life. During the day, he worked at the Hall of Benevolent Medicine, and after work, he went home with Jennifer to have dinner with the family.
Life was particularly leisurely.
James didn't see Harmony; she had gone abroad during this time.
It was better that she wasn't around to avoid any awkward encounters.
As for Calvin, he had come to see Jennifer several times over the past few days, maintaining the guise of an ordinary friend. Even when James was around, he didn't avoid them because he was a supplier for the Hall of Benevolent Medicine.
He tried several times to chat with Jennifer but never got the chance because of James's presence. Jennifer's attitude towards him had become much colder.
Half a month had passed, and he still hadn't had a chance to be alone with Jennifer.
"Calvin, what's going on? It's been half a month, and you still haven't made any progress? Aren't you supposed to be a playboy? How come you can't even win over Jennifer?" In a luxurious office, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows said to Calvin.
Calvin was very dissatisfied with being scolded but couldn't find words to refute it.
When he first took on this task, he had indeed promised to win over Jennifer within half a month. Now, half a month had passed, and he hadn't made any progress. Instead, Jennifer's attitude towards him had become colder.
Unwilling to give up, Calvin said, "I was about to succeed, and Jennifer had developed feelings for me. But then James came back, and Jennifer didn't dare to get close to me anymore."
"James is just a son-in-law. Jennifer has never had a good relationship with him. They've been married for five years, and Jennifer has always been displeased with him. And you said Jennifer is still a virgin. In this situation, you still can't win her over? What's the point of having you here?"
At this moment, Brent Lewis, a young man with an extraordinary demeanor, turned around in his chair. He looked very young, only about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. His eyes were particularly captivating, making him extremely attractive to women.
Calvin was also a handsome guy, but in front of Brent, he seemed ordinary, completely overshadowed in terms of presence and looks.
With a strange gleam in his eyes, Brent said to Calvin, "Calvin, are you sure Jennifer is still a virgin?"
The middle-aged man who had spoken earlier immediately understood what Brent was thinking.
As a man, Calvin also understood Brent's intentions. He showed a mischievous smile and said, "Yes, Mr. Lewis, I'm sure Jennifer is a virgin. And women like Jennifer, with her physique, are much more enjoyable in bed than most women. She's a rare gem."
With this, Brent's eyes shone even brighter, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips. It was clear that he had set his sights on Jennifer.
"Is that so? Now I'm interested." Brent licked his lips and then said to Calvin, "Calvin, I'll give you three more days to get Jennifer into my bed, and I'll give you a million dollars."
Hearing this number, Calvin's eyes widened, and his pupils gleamed with greed.
Even as a martial artist, a million bucks wasn't easy to come by in today's society.
And all he had to do was get Jennifer into Brent's bed. This deal was great!
Calvin's breathing quickened, and he instinctively wanted to agree. But he held back, suppressing his greed and showing a bit of hesitation. He said, "Mr. Lewis, James has been guarding Jennifer these past few days. It won't be easy to get her."
Brent said, "Calvin, don't try to bargain with me. A million dollars is the highest price. If you can't do it, I'll find someone else."
Calvin's heart skipped a beat, but he laughed twice without a hint of embarrassment and said, "Since Mr. Lewis has spoken so, within three days, I will assuredly bring Jennifer to Mr. Lewis's bed."
Brent looked at Calvin lazily and said, "Remember, I want Jennifer to still be a virgin."
"Ok." Calvin showed a knowing smile.
After Calvin left, the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows said to Brent, "Mr. Lewis, Jennifer is Aimee's cousin. If Aimee finds out, it might not be good."
Brent said disdainfully, "It's ok. I'm already tired of her. Besides, she's not as beautiful as Jennifer. Women like Jennifer are much more fun. But I didn't expect that Jennifer, after being married to James for five years, is still a virgin. It seems James is impotent."
