Chapter 47
When she saw the scary look on John Jefferson's face, Susan was suddenly a little afraid.
Before she could react, John slapped her heavily already.
Instantly, Susan's face turned red and swollen. The five fingerprints were left on her cheek.
But after the slap, John felt refreshed.
He finally vented all resentment he had piled up in his heart for too many years through the slap.
Chris and Esther were startled immediately.
When did his father-in-law become so domineering? Chris had a surprised expression on his face.
"Mom, Dad, what was that about?" Esther asked, frowning.
"Ha-ha!" Suddenly, Susan burst out laughing. "So I was not dreaming at all! It is all real - I seriously live
in Cloud Bay!" In a blink of an eye, she was yelling like crazy.
They still had to rely on others yesterday and now they had the most premium mansion on the East
Coast. The dramatic change made Susan feel like she had gone from hell to heaven all at once.
Chris and Esther looked at each other. In the minds of the two, a question mark suddenly popped up -
did Susan go crazy?
"You bastard, why did you hit me that hard?" Susan glared at John shortly after what happened.
Immediately after beating Susan, John felt guilty.
Faced with her questioning, he hesitated, "But you let me..."
Susan scolded, "I asked you to slap me, but I didn't ask you to hit with all your strength! Darn it!
Honestly, did you do that on purpose?"
"No, of course not!"
"Of course not? Like I would believe you! Don't you run away – you will have to pay for that!"
Susan then chased after John.
When they saw what happened, Chris and Esther burst out laughing.
"Dad, is this our new home?" Hope asked, eyes wide and curious.
Chris said with a doting smile, "Yes, baby, this will be our new home from now on."
"Yay, I finally have a home. I don't have to live in a tiny house anymore!" Hope clapped her hands
happily.
Esther suddenly felt sad when she saw this - her daughter had suffered with her for five years.
Chris hugged Esther and said softly, "Babe, let's move on from the past. Everything is going to be
better now that I am back. I will make you and our lovely daughter the happiest women in the world."
Esther snuggled into Chris's arms and nodded, "Thank you, my love!"
Chris slipped his finger over Esther Jefferson's nose and said, "Silly!"
Esther's face flushed immediately.
The only time when they could be so close was on their wedding night. But that was so many years
ago.
Now that she was getting so intimate with Chris again, she could not help but feel shy.
Hope asked expectantly, "Dad, where is my room?"
Chris Shelby picked up Hope and said, "Come on, my baby girl, I'll show you." Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Chris then took Hope to the room he had meticulously decorated for his daughter.
"Ta-da! Here is your room, baby!" Chris Shelby came to the second floor and pushed open a door.
"Wow, I love this!" The moment the door was opened, Hope's eyes widened.
The bedroom walls had been painted pink. And there were Barbie dolls and other cute stuffed animals
all over the room.
The bed was a Peppa Pig-shaped bed customized by Chris, which looked super adorable.
"This will be your room from now on." Chris put down Hope and smiled.
She ran into the room immediately and jumped on the bed. "Great, this is my room now. I'm so happy!"
Chris looked at Hope, smiled, and asked, "Sweetie, do you like it?"
