Mr. Gatson's Bride Is Back

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The lady had vaguely looked like Mary.

He wouldn’t have done it under usual circumstances, but he hadn’t been able to control his lust.

He said that he would be take responsibility, before acting on his desires.

The next day, when he woke up, he was lying in the hospital. Sandra was beside him.

The love bites on her body were too obvious.

She cried and said that he had had sex with her when he had been injured last night. She had been so scared.

Max had asked Matthew to check the surveillance camera, but it had been damaged that night.

He had to fulfill his promise to be responsible to Sandra.

Pursing his thin lips, he looked at Jason and asked calmly, “What’s your mother’s name?”

When Jason heard this question, he stared at him for a few seconds.

He thought for a moment and had a new idea.

Jason didn’t answer, but asked Max, “Do you have a lot of money?”

Max was surprised and nodded. “Of course.”

In Sheares, no one had more money than him.

Jason’s eyes lit up. “Are you married?”

“Not yet.”

Jason nodded his head and put on a serious face. “My mother is called Mary. Her name sounds nice, and she’s pretty. Plus, my father died a long time ago, and my mother is still unmarried. Since you have a lot of money and look like me, no matter how you got your face, I shall allow you to pursue her.”

The only thing Max heard was that his mother’s name was Mary.

Mary.

Max could no longer remain calm.

His long fingers slowly clenched into fists.

The cell phone on the nearby desk suddenly rang. The jarring sound broke the silence.

Max glanced at Jason, stood up, and walked to the desk.

‘Mary’ flashed on the screen of the cellphone.

He stared at the name and kept silent for a few seconds before he pressed the answer button with his long fingers.

He opened his thin lips slightly and said a word with an emotionless tone, “Hello.”

Mary’s voice sounded through the phone. “Max, are you in the office?”

Max glanced at Jason’s beautiful eyes and answered casually, “Yes.”

“I need to talk to you. I’m downstairs.”

Mary had already asked the receptionist if Jason was here.

She only called to check if Max had met Jason.

She did not plan to hide Jason forever. She knew that Max would meet him sooner or later.

“Come up.”

Max hung up after that.

He had turned on the speaker on purpose.

Jason’s eyes widened when heard his mother’s voice at the other end of the line.

Jason pointed at Max, shock clearly written all over his face. “How… how do you know my mother? She even called your name. Are you also my uncle?”

Also?

Max narrowed his eyes at that word. “Who else is your uncle?”

“Paul Johnson.”

Jason tilted his head again and mumbled to himself, “How many brothers does mom have? You can’t be my father, but you could be my uncle. No wonder you know my face well enough for your plastic surgery.”

“So he is my uncle,” Jason thought to himself.

Although his mother had never mentioned anything about him, he was sure that Max knew what he looked like. He must have undergone surgery as he was jealous of his looks.

Max must have been very ugly in the past.

Paul, on the other hand, had not undergone such a procedure.

Seeing that Jason was convinced that he had gone under the knife, Max said seriously, “I didn’t have plastic surgery. Also, it’s not that I look like you, but that you look like me.”

“Why?” Jason frowned.

Max said calmly, “I’ll tell you another time.”

Mary arrived very quickly. When she called, she had been on the first floor of the building.

She had also turned on the speaker for the receptionist. Their CEO let her in.

Under the shocked gaze of the receptionist, Mary headed for Max’s office but was stopped by Matthew. After Mary said she had permission to enter from Max himself, Matthew asked Mary to wait for a second as he went into the office for confirmation.

A moment later, the door opened from inside. Matthew said with a smile, “Please come in.” After Mary went in, Matthew left and closed the door.

Max walked forward and looked at Mary, focused and intimidating. Mary looked at the man standing in front of her.

She smiled and called him naturally, “Max.”

He interposed himself between Mary and Jason to block her view of Jason.

However, just as she finished speaking, a tender hand was placed on Max’s left leg. Jason’s pleasant voice came from behind him, “Mom.”

Mary lowered her head and saw her son.

She bent down, patted Jason on the head, and stood up. Her gaze met Max’s for a split second.

His gaze was full of sadness.

Then Max narrowed his eyes and walked towards the sofa.

Jason hugged Mary’s leg and asked, “Mom, why didn’t you tell me that I have another uncle?”

Uncle?

Mary was stunned for a second because she had never told Jason that Max was his uncle. After a second, she realized that Jason must have misunderstood his relationship with Max when she addressed Max so directly over the phone.

She smiled at Jason and held his little hand before walking towards the sofa. She lowered her head and gently explained, “Because this uncle is too busy. Mom hasn’t been in contact with him for a long time, so I didn’t tell you.”

“I see,” Jason said with a smile on his face.

Jason never doubted her mother’s words.

He smiled and said, “Mom, I forgive you. Can I come here to visit this uncle in the future?”

“You scared Priscilla to tears when you snuck out, you know?”

Mary’s smile faltered as she looked at her son, avoiding his question.

Suddenly, Matthew’s voice came from the office door. “Sir, you call me?”

Max stood in front of the sofa and glanced coldly at Mary.

He said calmly, “Matthew will bring Jason to have a bite. I need to talk to you.”

“Uncle, won’t you join me?” Jason pouted and asked Max with eager eyes.

However, Max didn’t answer.

He kept his gaze fixed on Mary.

Mary hesitated for a second before gently coaxing Jason to go with Matthew.

She told Jason she would look for him with his uncle later.

Max narrowed his eyes at ‘uncle’.

After Jason left with Matthew, the office fell silent.

“If Jason doesn’t come to my company, would you have never told me about his existence?”

Max asked coldly.

Mary answered with a smile, “Of course not. I planned to introduce Jason to you when I’ve managed to free up some time in the next few days.”

“What if you couldn’t?”

Max asked as he walked towards her.

Mary felt a powerful aura approaching her.

She panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed herself down.

She had thought of the different reactions that Max would have when he found out about Jason.

Fortunately, she had expected the current scenario.

She turned her eyes from Max, lowered her head, and considered his words seriously.

A few seconds later, she looked up at Max again and said sincerely, “If I really could not free up time, I would have brought Jason to your wedding.”

The moment she finished speaking, her chin was suddenly grabbed by Max’s large hand.

His other hand grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. Her slender and soft body pressed tightly against his strong figure.

Max’s hot breath brushed against her ear. Then, coolly, he asked the most provocative question, “Mary, why does your son look like me? Won’t you explain it to me?”

The question flustered her. She didn’t know how to answer him.

“Didn’t you hear what Jason called you?”

The man just laughed.

The next second, he lifted her chin and bent down to kiss her lips..
