Chapter 15 Have You Gotten A Dog

• “Yay! The annex is fun! I want to go there again! I want to visit again!” Jennifer suddenly leaped up from the ground, interrupting Mitchell's line of thought.
• She grasped Mitchell's hand and shook it excitedly. “Come on, Hubby, play hide and seek with me!”
• “That's enough!” Mitchell, who was a germaphobe, promptly yanked his hand out of hers.
• “Oh, no! You're so mean to me, Hubby! I'm scared.” At his bellow, tears streamed down Jennifer's face like a faucet.
• A headache instantly assailed James, and he was at a loss while frozen to the spot. After all, both were his employers whom he couldn't afford to offend.
• Have I been reading too much into things?
• Mitchell's face flushed bright red at Jennifer's ridiculous behavior, yet he couldn't do anything to her because of his grandfather.
• While fuming, he noticed that she wasn't even 165 cm in height. Besides, her palms were petite while her shoulders were slender.
• How could she have possibly scaled the two-meter wall alone without any tools? Perhaps she's really a few sandwiches short of a picnic and hasn't left the grounds today.
• When his gaze met her big, watery eyes, he suddenly felt that he had gone overboard earlier.
• Suppressing the wrath within him, he said to James, “Take her back to the room for a shower and a change of clothes.”
• “Understood. Let's go upstairs, Mrs. White.” James inwardly breathed a sigh of relief before he pivoted and led Jennifer toward the second floor.
• Sob, sob... Still feeling forlorn, Jennifer reluctantly took a step forward.
• Just when everyone thought that the crisis that day had finally drawn to an end, she whirled around without warning and charged toward Mitchell.
• Before anyone could react, they saw her opening her mouth and clamping her teeth on Mitchell's arm.
• She bit him so hard that the man's expression twisted in agony right then and there.
• In the end, it took three people to pull her away.
• “Hmph! How dare you bully me? I'll bite you to death!” Jennifer threatened, baring her teeth like a dog.
• By then, Mitchell's expression had darkened entirely.
• Right when he was on the verge of flipping his top, James hastily threw a look at a servant. Comprehending his meaning, the servant quickly dragged Jennifer toward her room on the second floor.
• “Quick, phone Dr. Knott and have him make a trip here!” James cried out at once.
• Soon, Mitchell's best friend cum family doctor, Benjamin Knott, arrived.
• Upon seeing the bloody teeth mark on Mitchell's arm, he exclaimed in astonishment, “Have you gotten a dog?”
• Mitchell said nothing, his expression as dark as night.
• “I-It was Mrs. White who bit him,” James cautiously explained at the side.
• Pfft!
• A bark of laughter escaped Benjamin, and he joked, “Did Mrs. White put in a set of steel teeth?”
• Uh...
• James couldn't quite answer that. He reflexively lifted his eyes and glanced at Mitchell, only to see the latter throwing him a look. At that, he tactfully zipped his mouth and slipped away.
• A human bite wound wasn't anything serious, so Benjamin was done treating Mitchell's wound in short order.
• “That loony wife of yours is quite capable. I remember that someone once sent ten top-notch assassins after you, yet they didn't manage to harm a single hair on your head,” Benjamin commented as he packed his medical kit.
• He once heard Jennifer playing the piano during Montgomery's banquet, and her performance was on par with top-notch pianists. Could someone who is cuckoo play such a perfect melody by coincidence?
• “Don't you think there's something suspicious about her?” Mitchell adjusted his posture as he lounged on the couch.
