Chapter 5 The Big Misunderstanding
Calvin soon realized what was happening. He became as cold as usual when he turned around and met his mother's gaze.
"Who is this young lady, Calvin?" Beatrice asked. Her face brightened as soon as she noticed the woman hiding behind her son.
Calvin was unable to answer his mother's question. He wrapped his arms around Jocelyn's waist as if he had made a life-altering choice and explained, "Mom, come and meet my girlfriend!"
Jocelyn gave him a disapproving look of surprise. Since she had no idea who he was, she had no interest in being his girlfriend.
"Yes, stranger, I can see why you want your mom to stop worrying about you. Do you think it's not appropriate to involve me in this?" She thought to herself.
"What's your name, my dear?" Beatrice sized up Jocelyn and asked. She thought she had seen her somewhere before.
Beatrice found the young lady to be as attractive as she had hoped her future daughter-in-law would be.
"Honey, tell Mom your name."
Calvin had no idea who Jocelyn was, so he convinced her to cooperate with him by pinching her around the waist and winking at her.
Unconsciously reacting to a tickle in her waist, Jocelyn twisted her body. However, she accidentally made it seem like she wanted to get closer to him.
Jocelyn was forced to speak up after being confronted by Calvin's threatening stare, "Mom. Oh! Sorry, madam. My name is Jocelyn Murray."
Beatrice was overjoyed when she heard Jocelyn call her "Mom." "Are you Helena Murray's daughter Jocelyn? Did you play a part in the TV show the Jones Girls when you were a kid?"
Jocelyn's eyes glowed. "Yeah! Do you know my mother and my show? "
"Of course! And, your mom and I were once close friends."
After learning that Jocelyn would be her future "daughter-in-law," Beatrice's joy grew. She turned to face her son and asked, "How long have you been together? Why you kept it a secret from me."
"We've been dating for quite some time. I didn't tell you because I wanted to surprise you."
Calvin began to be grateful for the fact that Jocelyn was there. Otherwise, if Beatrice returned unexpectedly, he wouldn't be able to find a suitable woman to pretend to be his girlfriend right away.
Nonetheless, he was surprised to learn that Jocelyn was Helena Murray's daughter.
"Are you Jocelyn Murray, who just announced her retirement after winning Best Actress five years ago? I had no idea you're a mother." The thought crossed Calvin's mind.
He had a feeling the previous rumor about her eloping with a rich foreigner was true.
"Nice! Wouldn't that be perfect? How about you two get married tomorrow?"
Beatrice was so satisfied with her "daughter-in-law" that she wanted them to marry as soon as possible.
"Huh? Isn't that too soon for us?
Jocelyn felt like crying. She hoped she could find her daughter there rather than being forced into an arranged marriage.
"Okay, mom. We'll get married tomorrow."
As a good son, Calvin wanted to make his mom happy at any cost.
"All right. You guys can keep making out now. I'm going back to the East Side."
Beatrice left quickly with a smile, so Jocelyn didn't have time to correct the huge misunderstanding.
Jocelyn angrily pushed Calvin away and yelled, "Why did you lie to your mother? I don't even know who you are!"
"You don't know me? But you kissed me in the hotel earlier!"
He couldn't just let her go after they'd shared a passionate kiss.
Jocelyn was at a loss for words.
"But even if I messed with you first, you can't get back at me in this way! It's not fair!" She thought to herself.
"I couldn't care less about that. Anyway, I'm leaving with my daughter right now."
Jocelyn attempted to leave the house while carrying Tammy, who had dozed off on the couch. On the other hand, Calvin instructed the servant to shut the door.
"You can't leave without my permission," he sneered.
