Billionaire’s Reborn Baby Chapter 80

Chapter 80 Daylight Robbery

Eliot sighed and went out. Not long after, Maury walked in. His face was still a little pale. He sat in his chair for a while without saying a word. It was such a shame that he had failed to fulfill his promise with Emily.

Emily had guessed what it was all about. After all, something bad had happened to the Britt family in her previous life. If her mother wanted to see her, she would definitely find her. However, she had never looked for her.

She reached out and gently held Maury’s hand, said softly, “Dad, I’m fine.”

Maury’s eyes turned red. He petted Emily’s head and said, “I’m sorry, Daddy failed to keep the promise. Your mom is probably still mad at me. She didn’t answer the phone. I can’t get in touch with her.”

He sighed. “She moved a lot. I’ve looked for her a few times before. But she’s been avoiding me, so I kind of give up.”

Emily listened quietly.

Maury gently hugged her and said, “Emily, I will definitely find her and let you two reunite.”

Emily nodded.

Whether the two of them could reunite or not, she really hoped her mother could lead a happy life.

When Jaquan woke up, it was late at night.

His shoes and jacket were taken off. The light in the room was off. He had to put on shoes in the dark. And he could not find his jacket, so he walked out barefoot. Last night he drank too much, and now he really needed to use the bathroom.

He probably thought that there was no one outside, so he untied his belt as soon as he walked out of the room. All of a sudden, he saw a woman sitting on the stairs. Stunned for a moment, he quickly zipped his pants, turned around and ask hoarsely, “Excuse me, where is the bathroom?”

The woman was surprised when she heard the sound behind her. Without turning her head, she pointed in a direction.

Jaquan thanked her and hurriedly rushed over.

When he came back, she was gone. Under the moonlight, he could see that the room he had just left was closed. He walked to the door, rubbing his shoulders. It was a little cold outside. Just as he was about to knock on the door to get his coat, he saw the coat, his wallet and phone on a cute piggy- shaped chair down the corridor.

He finally realized that he had probably slept in the wrong room. Thinking of the woman sitting on the stairs, he assumed that he had slept in the room of the single mother.

He silently put on his coat and turned his phone on. It was eleven o’clock at night. Waking up at this time, he was both tired and hungry. And he had no idea where to go.

He sat outside for a while. Since it was too cold, he decided to drive back right away. As he came to the door, he found that it was one of those retro wooden doors with the bolt inside. If he went out, someone had to bolt the door from inside. Otherwise, it would be dangerous for the woman and the child in the room.

He thought for a while, and finally found a deck chair to sit down. He played with his phone for some time, then closed his eyes. In fact, he had never slept in the moonlight like this. He fell asleep again. In his sleep, he vaguely saw a white figure coming over. He smiled at the figure and felt his body got warm again.

When he woke up the second time, it was almost dawn. He watched the sun rising from the horizon. Then he smelled something. With a deep breath, he was sure it was something delicious.

As he stood up, he found that he was covered with a blanket. He folded it, put it on the chair and followed the smell to the kitchen. There, he saw a woman with her back to him stir-frying rice with eggs. And there were two fried eggs on the table. The smell of porridge permeated in the air.

Jaquan stood at the door and felt that peeping like this was a bit inappropriate. So he walked in and said, “Excuse me, I’m sorry. I was drunk yesterday. And I accidentally slept in the wrong room.”

The woman didn’t stop the work. She turned off the fire, put the food into a bowl without even raising her head.

Jaquan thought that she didn’t hear him and uttered again, “Sorry, I accidentally slept…”

The woman interrupted him, still having her back to him. She was washing the pan. Her voice was slightly different from the sweet one he had heard the other day. She said, quite coldly. “I heard you.”

He’d meant to ask for something to eat, but her words shut him up. He actually felt embarrassed. But he had never felt embarrassed for all these years.

He felt weird, and even thought it was an illusion. He opened his mouth again, “I’m hungry too. Could I get some breakfast?”

The woman washed her hands with soap and said faintly, “Help yourself.”

Jaquan, “…”

He got a bowl and ladled porridge into it clumsily. The hot bowl burned his hands. He gasped and held the bowl to the table with pain. Then he washed his hands in the sink.

After cleaning up the kitchen, the woman took the breakfast and left. Jaquan thought to himself, “Is this woman so indifferent to all men because she has been cheated?”

There was a fried egg left on the table. Jaquan glanced at it, then at the door. Finally, he took the fried egg with his hand and put it into his mouth. It was a little hot but delicious. He was probably starving, because after eating the egg, he was far from full. But the porridge was still very hot. He could only hovered in the kitchen.

After the porridge cooled down, he gulped it and went filling the bowl with porridge again.

After Emma and Stony finished their meal, Emma came to kitchen to wash the dishes. She caught Jaquan eating with the pot in his arms. The moment the two of them saw each other, Jaquan was surprised. He paused for a while, then swallowed and said, “Sorry, I was too hungry.”

This was the first time he saw her face. He had thought that she was a gorgeous woman, but she turned out to be rather plain. She was the kind of women who could never stand out in a crowd. He thought to himself, “How handsome her husband must be to have such a beautiful child like Stony?”

Emma nodded and didn’t say anything. She just put the dishes in the sink, washed her hands and went out.

Jaquan followed her and said, “I’ll pay for the breakfast. How much is it?”

Emma stopped and turned to look at him. She stretched out her fair hand and said, “Five thousand.”

“It’s daylight robbery!” Jaquan looked at her in surprise. “I’m your boss’s friend.”

Emma said blankly, “Then don’t go to the wrong room next time. See you.”

Jaquan was annoyed. If it weren’t for the fact that she was a single mother, he would have already lost his temper. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

With an angry look, he reached out his hand and stuck it on Emma’s shoulder, “Wait a minute…”

Stony had just came out of the room. “Mom, I’m leaving.” As soon as he crossed the threshold, he caught sight of Jaquan. Then he greeted, “Good morning, Mr. Jaquan.”
