Accidentally Married

“I’m sorry about him,” Jessica said going close to Dawson. She didn’t know why she felt she had to apologize for what her husband who was a child in an adult body did.

“Eh don’t worry, he’s still a child” Dawson answered.

It made Jessica understand fully why Xavier was like that, Dawson pampered him and took care of him like a child.

“But I’m still sorry either way” Jessica still said. For some reason, it felt like she should take responsibility for that child.

“Sit down, I have something important to ask of you” Dawson gestured to the seat that Xavier was just sitting in.

“Oh I hope it is something I can do” Jessica responded sitting.

“I’m sure of it”

“So I know that you and Xavier are not acquainted and that you met in front of the courthouse on the day of the wedding” Jessica gasped at the realization that Dawson was not in the dark.

Funny enough Jessica felt as if a weight was lifted from her chest. She sighed in relief.

“I’m sorry Dawson, I never meant to lie but Xavier insisted…” Jessica said trailing off.

“I know. I know my grandson. I know what he is capable of but I want you to help me with him. He is very immature in many ways and it’s because he has been lonely for a long while. He is not fully developed” Dawson said with a little laugh.

Dawson pitied his son and that was why he was always picking up after him. Xavier needed to be a man but he was barely able to get up from it.

“And you need to help me with him. I know it’s a lot to ask you to give me a grandchild but I’ll very much like that”

Jessica recoiled in her seat. Dawson was asking for too much and she couldn’t possibly do that. The only way she could successfully sleep with Xavier was if he was drunk and didn’t know she was on to him.

“I don’t think it’s possible” Jessica answered. She didn’t want to break the heart of the old man who had puppy eyes going for him but she knew it was impossible.

The slightest mention of it made Xavier throw a grown man sized tantrum and leave the room.

“But I want you to think about it and even work towards it,” Dawson said.

If Xavier could get married when all hope seemed lost then he might fall in love with his wife and they might have kids.

“I do not promise anything but I would try my very best,” Jessica said to give him hope.

She doubt anything would happen. Ever since she got to that house Xavier always put up a pillow wall between them. He always refused to share a meal with her even when she asked and on top of all that he was a big jerk and meanie. He barely knew how to talk to others or even hold a conversation.

Jessica knew Dawson was asking the impossible.

Jessica spent a little more time keeping Dawson company before going out to meet Xavier. She believed that Xavier wouldn’t leave her since he was her ride back home and since they were still trying to prove to the public that they were a happy couple.

“Good night Dawson. I’ll come again soon” Jessica said as she stood at the door frame.

“I will wait eagerly and hope you do come soon” Dawson replied.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Jessica thought she saw a sad expression on his face. If she could she’ll come every day and keep him company. It was sad to be sick and it was now even more sadder to be stuck in a hospital without any company all day.

“What if I come tomorrow too? I’m free because I am on leave from work” Jessica said.

She saw his face light up with joy. She was free after all there was nothing for her to do. She could as well spend her day visiting him and spending time with him.

“I would very much love that,” Dawson said with a smile.

He was lonely since Xavier thought it wise to be at the company and only visit him once in a blue moon. One of the things Jessica was good at was making him feel good even as an old man. She might have entered the family wrong but Dawson was going to do all it took to make her stay.

If he was healthier and able to move around on his feet he would play matchmaker for them and get them together, but since he was laying there all day then he needed to get someone to do his bidding.

“Bye Dawson,” Jessica said closing the door.

Dawson began to think about who could help him achieve his goal of putting the two together. The only trustworthy person who came to mind was Roselle. She knew Xavier all his life so she could very well give Jessica the right kind of advice that would benefit her in winning Xavier’s heart.

Xavier might not agree with his grandfather now but Dawson was certain that when he leaves this earth and after a while Xavier would begin to understand and appreciate all he did for him including forcing him into marriage.

Dawson picked up his phone on the stand and dialed Roselle’s number. The Doctor keeps emphasizing how he needs to take care of himself because he barely had any time left. According to the doctors he was supposed to only last about three months.

“Hello, Chairman” Roselle said on the other side of the line.

Roselle had been a trusted hand and Dawson knew he could leave the business to her.

“You do not even come to see me anymore,” Dawson said.

“Ohh Chairman, I only wanted you to have quality time with your grandson and daughter in law”

“Well it’s been a good time thank you for your concern” Dawson replied.

“Do you need me to do something Chairman” Roselle asked.

Although she had practically been treated like family by Dawson. Roselle likes to keep her distance from them because she claimed she wasn’t at their status.

“Come see me tomorrow,” Dawson said.

“Come earlier than Jessica. I have a favor to ask”
