Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 951

Moore Family.

"Old Master, what do you think we should do?" Yousif's wife, Elina, sat at the foot of Johan's bed and wept. Tears notwithstanding, she was an attractive woman despite getting on in years.

Johan sat up carefully. His body may be old but his mind was still sharp as a tack. Things rarely slipped his notice. In this case, he knew that there must have been a reason behind the trouble the Cook family was stirring up.

This time however Jepherson had gone too far. He really should not have gone to the Cook family to take matters into his own hands.

He should have found out who the mastermind was before cutting the puppet strings.

Jepherson's actions were not merely an affront to the Cook family, Rather, he had offended the entire Moore family.

In any case, if Jepherson was allowed to continue like this, the Moore family would have much to lose.

Johan glanced over at Elina. He had always appreciated her usual self-assured and confident attitude.

She was down to earth, never harsh or rude to anyone. Even to those who probably deserved it. Even when Yousif wandered, she kept her wits about her and diligently stayed home and faithfully took care of the kids.

Johan admired her greatly for that.

It was only the tragic deaths of Marianna and Eloisa that prompted her to seek his counsel. Even then she did not ask for his direct help and involvement. Instead, she just asked him for advice on what she should do.

It was time to make a decision. He rarely cared about much. Since Elina had never asked him for anything before, he couldn't just sit by and watch. No, he had to do something.

"Don't cry. Why don't you go and visit your parents? Tell your father that I'd visit if my health permitted. While it may seem like Jepherson is trying to find fault with the Cook family don't forget what he does to them, affect us too. Anyone who touches the Cooks are touching the Moores."

"Sorry for the Cook family!"

"I'll ask Yousif to come home. That inconsiderate boy is really something else to ignore this situation."

Elina dried her tears went to her parents' home.

Alone. She did not bother waiting for her husband, Yousif, to accompany her.

After all, theirs was a marriage of convenience, a business merger. There was no point in hoping for more from Yousif.

Elina approached Johan because her father requested she do so.

As Elina left, Johan asked his servant to call Yousif to tell him to return home immediately. He was going to get an earful and would be made to support Elina.

Thus for the next three days, Yousif and Elina spent time with the Cook family. They remained until Marianna and Eloisa were buried.

It was time for Johan to call a family meeting.

Yousif was not cut out to be the head of the family, Indeed Johan needed to choose someone else.

He wasn't getting any younger, managing family affairs took more out of him than he'd like to admit.

Unfortunately, Johan did not have much of a choice. None of his sons were capable or willing to take on the mantle. One had health issues and the other refused to come home.

Both sons however suggested that Jacqueline should assume the role of the head of the Moore

family.

Johan hesitated.

Truth be told, no matter how capable and remarkable a girl was, she would not be able to handle being the head of the family. Especially when marriage would divide her loyalty.

Johan was still deliberating when Yousif returned home.

Yousif greeted his father and approached him.
