Chapter 466 An Unexpected Development Jessica's response caused Pork's jaw to drop in amazement; he also realized belatedly what was going on. No wonder this country boy had called him brother-in-law-he was Jessica's husband.
But that couldn't be right. How could this country boy possibly be Jessica's husband? Jessica was supposed to align herself with The Evans by marrying Smart. This development had to be corrected promptly; Pork couldn't allow Smart to find out that Jessica was already married, and to such a seemingly ordinary man, no less. The more Pork thought about it, the more it didn't add up. Jessica was a proud goddess, a queenly figure-how could she stoop so low as to marry a country boy? Daniel must be skind of decoy Jessica was using.
As someone with sscheming abilities, Pork didn't plan to lash out at Daniel directly. Instead, he said, "Since this country boy is Jessica's husband, let's all go and visit grandfather." This wasn't an invitation out of goodwill. Avery was at the hospital, and bringing Daniel along would surely result in his dismissal.

"Don't callmom! I'm not your mother!" Avery was infuriated. It was one thing for this country boy to call her 'mom' in private, but in front of so many people? Their conversation left everyone present stunned.
Jessica couldn't believe it and asked, "Idiot, what are you doing?" "Yeah, mom hasn't shownany affection yet! I just called her 'mom' and look at me, making us a proper family already." "Shameless!" The word "shameless" echoed in unison from the three women's lips.

Pork was the most shocked. He couldn't believe Avery had met this country boy and that Daniel even dared to call her 'mom' with such ease, as if it wasn't the first time.
"Yes! The first twe met in New York, he called'mom.' My own daughter, in her twenties, rarely ever callsthat, but this chap seems to callsdo it all the time. It's so frequent that I'm starting to get confused-whether Jessica is my own child, or this rascal is." Avery's answer, though meant for Jessica, got Pork thinking. It seemed like Avery actually enjoyed being called 'mom' by this country boy.
Determined to avoid any complications in the alliance between o families. Pork quickly the the two reminded her, "Cousin, remember that Jessica is supposed to marry Smart!" X
