The Pigeon Pair Saves The Marriage by Janice Gold Chapter 30
Chapter 30 The elevator reached the second floor, and Gideon walked in, followed by two fashionably dressed foreign women. Jeanne’s eyes lit up, thinking, ‘Gideon is in the lab today too!‘ However, her attention was mostly captured by the foreign women. Jeanne glanced at them curiously. She pondered, ‘I didn’t see these two the last time I was at the lab. Gideon was surprised, wondering, ‘How did these two little ones find their way here?’ He was about to speak when the chestnut–haired foreign girl suddenly covered her mouth, laughed, and spoke in Veridianian. “Oh, that little girl looks so funny!” The blonde girl who was with her also laughed. Having lived abroad for four years, Jeanne understood what they said but thought they were just joking and didn’t take it to heart. Seeing no reaction from Ruben and Jeanne and assuming they didn’t understand her, the blonde girl became more unrestrained. She started mocking Jeanne’s dress, saying, “My goodness, she looks like a jellyfish, how silly!” Ruben then glanced at them coldly, his brow furrowing in displeasure. He thought angrily, “These two have no manners!‘ Gideon also frowned, intending to reprimand them, but Jeanne was much quicker. Pinching her dress, Jeanne retorted in Veridianian, “What’s wrong with looking like a jellyfish? Jellyfish can be cute, too.” The chestnut–haired girl looked at her in slight surprise, thinking, ‘Such a young child. understands Veridianian?‘ But the next second, she started mocking Jeanne’s pronunciation, bizarrely switching languages to ridicule her. She spoke in Xyronian, and the blonde girl joined in, laughing even more exaggeratedly, exuding a sense of superiority. Upon hearing Xyronian, Jeanne felt a rush of familiarity. She pondered, ‘I already started speaking Xyronian with the people in Mommy’s lab since I began learning to speak. Their Xyronian is still far from good enough.”‘ Jeanne turned around and said, “Hello there. Your Xyronian doesn’t sound quite natural. “You made about three grammatical errors in that sentence. You don’t really need to switch languages while talking because even if you speak Xyronian, I can still understand you.” The expressions of the two foreign women then turned unsightly upon hearing her. Then, the elevator doors opened after a ding. In their haste, they didn’t even bother to see which floor it was on and quickly fled. Chapter 30 Gideon chuckled, admiration unconsciously showing in his eyes. He bent down and asked, “You’re so impressive. What other languages do you know?” “Ruben is better than me, but he doesn’t like to talk,” Jeanne boasted, holding Ruben’s hand proudly. “I’ve seen Ruben write articles in over 10 different languages. Jeanne could only recognize four or five languages. The rest she understood through translation. Gideon, increasingly impressed by them, smiled, “Is that so? You’re so talented, Ruben. Maybe you could try speaking sometimes. That way, you can help Jeanne deal with those who bully her.” Ruben pushed up his large black–framed glasses on his nose, ignoring him. He thought, ‘I don’t need to speak to help Jeanne deal with those people.’ Ruben had caught a glimpse of the hotel room card tucked behind the woman’s transparent phone case in her hand. It belonged to a nearby hotel, and he planned to take action once he reached the office. “I can protect Ruben too,” Jeanne declared, spreading her arms in front of Ruben protectively. “Gideon, don’t pressure Ruben. He’s doing very well now.” Gideon, being schooled by a four–year–old girl, instinctively touched his nose and felt awkward. He pondered sarcastically, “This quirky temperament must be inherited from Edith‘ […]
