It was common knowledge that it was because Jane was studying there, and his parents wouldn't allow him to visit her alone.
So, he had to bring along his newlywed wife, me, to make the visit seem legitimate.
However, as soon as we arrived in France, we encountered a robbery, and the robber fired a shot at Matt.
I quickly pulled him away and took the bullet for him.
I was rushed to the nearest hospital and underwent three days and nights of emergency treatment, followed by three months of recovery back in our home country.
After that incident, Matt and I quickly grew closer.
Everyone thought he had forgotten about Jane, and was peacefully settling down at home.
"Ashley, you're pregnant now. Don't get too excited." Rena patted me on the shoulder.
"Ashley, what happened today was indeed Matt's fault. I've already asked Jacob to handle the public opinion. From now on, I'll handle our family matters behind closed doors, so as not to cause a stir."
My father-in-law, Joey, said in an authoritative tone as he sat on the sofa.
