Even though he said that, Jessie could see that he was angry. She quickly said, “No, that’s not what I meant. I will definitely buy all four pieces of clothes next time…”
“You will buy them like this in the future. I will not wear these things. How childish!”
Felix and Fia were speechless.
Who was the first one to wear the white parent-child costume the last time?
Jessie became more and more regretful that she only bought three pieces of clothes but at that time she really saw that the design of the clothes was pretty. She thought that he was usually very busy and did not have a chance to wear the cloth with them so she didn’t bought him.
Alex did not speak. His thin lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, and his dark handsome face clearly said, ‘Don’t come near me.’
They returned to the Tianji Residence. He went into the bedroom and closed the bedroom door.
They were all speechless in the living room.
“Mommy, why don’t you sleep with us tonight?” Felix looked up at Jessie and asked. Fia also nodded. “Yes, Mommy, you can’t sleep with my dad tonight. My dad is jealous. According to our experience, he definitely won’t let you have a good time! So, I think you’d better stay away from him!”
Jessie laughed and rubbed their heads. “Don’t worry about me. Your dad can’t eat me. Let’s go take a shower and sleep.”
Felix looked worried. “He won’t eat you, but I’m afraid he will hit you.”
Jessie was speechless.
How much psychological trauma did Alex leave for the children? How could he be angry and hit people?
After coaxing the children to sleep, Jessie went back to the master bedroom.
Only a warm yellow wall lamp was lit in the bedroom.
The man who usually took a shower and read e-mails on the bed was now lying down and sleeping.
Jessie lay beside him. Alex closed his eyes. The moment she got close, he turned around and left her with only her back.
She took the initiative to put her hand on his back and reached out to hug his waist.
The man silently pushed her hand away and moved out a little.
Jessie looked at his back for a while and also fell asleep on the other side.
After a long time, her shoulder was bitten by him.
“It hurts.” Jessie could not help but complain.
Alex did not say anything. He took a bite of her before his anger disappeared. Then, just like before, he held her tightly in his arms before continuing to sleep.
Jessie could not help but smile slightly in his arms.
Laurent Family Residence.
“Shall we go and watch a movie first?” Restall held Rudolf’s arm and suggested as she happily walked out.
“It’s not like we can’t watch a movie at home. Why should we go to a movie theater?”
“Can the house compare to the cinema? I’m going to a movie theater. When I was young, you begged me to go out and watch a movie. Now, I’m asking you to go with me, but you’re not willing. Do you think I’m old?”
“You’re just messing around!”
“Are you going or not?” Restall did not leave and insisted on him agreeing. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Just as Rudolf was about to agree, a blue car rolled to the entrance of the garden like a hurricane. The ear-piercing sound of the brakes made the silent air seem to start cramping.
“This is Fifi’s car? Why is she driving so fiercely? What should we do if something happens?” Restall nagged as she let go of Rudolf’s arm and quickly walked out. Rudolf also frowned slightly and followed her with his hands behind his back. Fifi ran out of the car. She did not even bother to close the car door and rushed into Grandma Restall’s arms. She urgently said, “Grandma, something big happened. Do you know what kind of new girlfriend my uncle had? That woman was divorced and she loved to seduce men. When she was with her ex-husband, she cheated on another man. Now, circle of R City had spread. My uncle’s reputation has been ruined by her. You should quickly think of a way to get rid of her. She was amazing. Until now, no man could escape from her. palm. If she insists on my uncle marrying her, then we’ll be finished.”
Grandma Restall frowned when she heard that. “Where did you hear all this nonsense from? F i, you can’t speak blindly.”
“I am not speaking blindly. Just now, I was attending the gathering and everyone was talking about this matter. It made me so ashamed that I no longer have the face to stay there. That woman really isn’t a good person!” Fifi saw that they did not believe her and shouted even louder.
“Enough!” Grandpa Rudolf scolded her sternly, “You are also a member of Laurent family. You are not allowed to talk about these rumors anymore. From now on, you are not allowed to mention this matter again!”
Fifi originally thought that she would definitely make a great contribution by telling them about this matter. She did not expect that she would be harshly reprimanded. How could she be willing to accept it? She turned around and walked towards the car. “Alright, you guys are afraid of uncle. If you don’t want to tell him, I will tell him myself. I can’t let my uncle be harmed by her!”
“Where are you going? Come back! Fifi!” Grandma Restall chased and shouted.
Fifi’s car rushed out in front of her.
Grandpa Rudolf was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and entered the house.
Grandma Restall looked at the back of the car that was about to disappear and then looked at the back of Grandpa Rudolf’s car. She frowned.
She had seen Jessie several times. She trusted this girl’s character. Although she had been spoiled by Grandpa Rudolf for more than half of her life, she had almost never suffered any grievances in a big family like Laurent family. But she had seen too many different kinds of people in so many years. She could tell that a person was good and bad.
However, Fifi must not be speaking without thinking. There were so many rumors outside. There must be a reason behind it. Otherwise, not many people would dare to spread rumors about the Laurent family.
What exactly was going on?
Jessie was really divorced?
But she still looked like a university student. How was that possible? If she had been divorced, then how old was she when she first got married?
She suddenly remembered that Alex met Jessie alone. Could it be…
“Old master!” The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She turned around and walked quickly into the courtyard. “Rudolf! Rudolf!”
Rudolf smoked in the west prefectural hall.
After he officially abdicated from the company, he quit smoking. It had been many years since he smoked.
Restall’s heart tightened when she saw the smoke.
“Do you know something?”
Rudolf did not say anything.
“Tell me!” Restall became anxious.
Rudolf extinguished the cigarette butt and lit another one. He repeatedly wasted a few cigarettes before he coldly snorted, “It’s all because of your good son!”
The next day, Alex drove the children to school and then sent Jessie to the coffee shop.
“I have something to do tonight. I will send someone to help you move.” Alex parked the car i n front of the coffee shop.
“No need. I have nothing.” Jessie knew he wanted to help her move to Mountain and River Residence.
Alex turned his head and looked at her. He did not say anything else and waited for her to get off the car.
Jessie was not in a hurry to open the car door. She took out an exquisite black square box from her bag and handed it to him. Her face was red. “Here you go.”
Alex glanced at the box. His cold and handsome face had obviously eased up a little, but he still pretended to be casual. “What?”
Jessie had never taken the initiative to give any man a gift. Her face became hotter and hotter. “You will know when you see it.”
Alex had already received the box. He lifted the lid of the box. Inside was a man’s watch with an Omega embedded in it.
Jessie saw him close the box again and asked casually, “Don’t you like it?”
“Why do you want to buy this?” Alex put the box into the cart and said softly.
Jessie did not hear what she wanted to hear. She felt a little disappointed in her heart, but she quickly felt relieved and said, “It’s nothing. I bought it because it looks good. If you don’t like it, I will go and get another one.”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and prepared to take it back.
Her wrist was lightly held by him. His eyes were deep and no one could tell what he was thinking
“Let’s go to the coffee shop.” He leaned over and helped open the car door.
Jessie saw that his meaning was that he did not want her to change the watch. Although she was unable to express the disappointment in her heart, she did not continue to ask.
Alex went to the company’s underground garage and parked his car. He specially took out the black box from the garage. He had been holding it in his hand the whole time when he returned to his office.
After passing through president’s office, the people inside stood up and greeted him as usual.
Alex raised his right hand, which was holding the box, and responded to them.
Everyone was stunned. They sat down and jumped up again, smiling and nodding at him.
Rick saw this strange scene when he came up. He followed Alex into the office and closed the door behind him. “Boss, what good news did you have this morning?”
Alex was in a good mood. He smiled. “What is it?”
Rick saw that he was smiling and became bolder. He grinned and said, “It has been a long time since I saw you being so friendly.”
“How was I like in the past?”
“Like hailstones!” Rick blurted out.
Alex had a faint smile on his face. “Assistant Rick, have you found out anything about the Q City branch that I asked you to investigate yesterday?”
“Not yet.”
He turned to Assistant Rick and said, “Give me the results before you get off work today.”
“But didn’t you say you would give me a week’s time yesterday?”
“I’m in a hurry to ask for it now. Do you have an opinion?”
Rick looked bitter. “I have no objections. I will go and investigate now!”
After leaving president’s office, Rick couldn’t help but slap his own mouth, “You talk too much!”
Rick walked for a while and Alex took out the brand new watch from the box. He took off his Rolex and threw it into the drawer. He put the new Omega model that Jessie gave on his wrist. He looked at it again and again and smiled.
During the meeting in the morning, he often pushed open the sleeves of his suit to look at the watch.
This made his subordinates’ hearts tighten. They thought he had something urgent to do. They spoke faster and faster.
Usually, meetings that lasted for more than an hour were all finished within half an hour.
Rick helped to collect the documents and looked at Alex carefully. “Boss, do you have something urgent?”
Alex shook his head and looked at his watch again.
Rick saw that there was a new watch on his wrist. It was a new model of Omega that had just been released. He sincerely praised, “This watch is beautiful. You just bought it, right?”
