78. 7 You Are Not a Child Anymore
Jessie never wanted to turn her life around. She did not care. At this moment, there was only one problem that she was conflicted about. That was whether she should call the children.
She had been stuck with them all day long in Nanchuan these past few days. Now that they had suddenly separated for such a long time, she really wasn’t used to it.
She missed them very much.
She wanted to kiss their tender little faces, hug them, and listen to their voices.
After Sally finished bathing, she saw her staring at her phone repeatedly with unease.
“You only separated for a while and you miss them?” She lifted the blanket and sat next to Jessie. Without waiting Jessie to answer, she continued, “For a man like Boss Alex, whoever loves him will definitely want to be by his side all day long.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? I didn’t miss him!” Jessie’s face heated up slightly and she smiled as she put the phone on the bedside table. Sally took her phone back and stuffed it into her arms, “If you want to call, then call. Both of you have children. You’re not a child anymore. Why are you so shy when you call? If you are really embarrassed, then send him a WeChat message.” It was good to send him WeChat. This way, even if the children were with their grandparents, she wouldn’t disturb the elder.
However, Alex was worried that Fia and Felix would get addicted to playing with Phone Watchs. He did not buy anything with this function.
Felix and Fia did not. But Alex did. Even if he was still accompanying his family, she could send him a WeChat message and ask the children, right?
Sally looked at her good-for-nothing look and was speechless. After playing with her phone for a while, she was too lazy to care about her and turned around to sleep.
Jessie looked at the ceiling in a daze for a while and Jessie could not help but turn on her phone.
It was already past 9 PM and she bit her lips to find his WeChat number.
He did not even have a WeChat nickname. It was just a bunch of phone numbers, personal information, and WeChat Moments that were all empty. Even his profile picture was tacitly approved.
Such an outdated style was quite consistent with his old-fashioned style.
She could not help but smile. She slid open the dialog box and pondered for a long time before starting to type, [Is Felix and Fia asleep? Can I talk to them?]
She directly asked the children. It didn’t seem to be very good.
She deleted them word by word, and after thinking about it, she typed again: [Are you asleep?]
She looked at them again and again. Finally, she felt that this was the most appropriate way t o send them. Then, she clicked send.
When she sent it, her heart was beating very fast.
After sending it, she hurriedly pressed down on her phone, and her cheeks were burning hot.
It wasn’t that she had never texted him before, but at that time, she had only treated him as the father of the little friend she liked, an unfamiliar man.
But now...
She recalled the series of events that had happened during this period, especially the bits and pieces of things that happened when she was with him. Her face could not help but become even hotter as she pulled over the pillow to cover her face.
Her phone suddenly rang. She was so frightened that she quickly pressed the button.
Seeing that Sally hadn’t been woken up, she pressed the button again and found that she had rejected Alex’s call.
She was embarrassed.
Why didn’t he reply to her WeChat message and call her directly? She took her phone and got out of bed quietly, putting on her jacket.
She walked out of the bedroom, closed the door, and went to the balcony in the living room to call Alex.
She answered the phone very quickly.
Jessie’s slender fingers caressed the railing on the balcony. She looked at the busy traffic downstairs and said in a gentle tone, “Why did you call me directly? It gave me a scare.” Alex seemed to be in a good mood. His voice was embedded with a low laugh. “You miss me?”
His soft and attractive voice was very alluring.
Jessie felt a slight itch in her heart. The night wind blew her long hair. She lifted her fingers and pulled her messy hair behind her ears. She was annoyed, “Nonsense, I did not.”
Although she seemed to be angry, there was a sweet smile at the corner of her mouth. Especially the word ‘nonsense’, it was sweet and affectionate.
When Alex heard this, his throat felt dry, and he could not help but take another drag on his cigarette. He said in a low voice, “Wait for me, I will go and find you!”
“No!” Jessie knew his character and quickly stopped him, “I am tired and will soon fall asleep
Sally has also fallen asleep.”
“Are you afraid that I will go over and sleep with you?” Alex was a little impatient.
He wanted to see her, but he did not receive her WeChat before, so he could barely bear it even if he did not hear her voice.
At this critical juncture, she didn’t let him go find her. He was truly annoyed.
She clearly liked him to the point that she wanted to die, but she always liked to say things that were out of her mind. She even liked to throw a tantrum at random times and casually ran to a place very far away from him.
If it was any other woman, he wouldn’t even bother with her. He would directly make her get a s far away as possible.
However, he liked her very much. He wanted to coax her so that she wouldn’t run away again.
He had lived for more than thirty years. He had never treated a woman like this before.
Jessie could hear his anger and quickly and gently said, “Why would I be afraid of you? I just miss Felix and Fia and want to talk to them for a while…”
Alex coldly snorted and deliberately said, “They have Phone Watchs and you have their numbers too.”
“I…”
“Are you worried that their grandparents will receive your call?”
Jessie tacitly agreed.
“It’s not like you have never seen them before. What are you afraid of?”
Jessie was stunned. “I have never seen them before.”
Alex could imagine what she looked like when he heard her stunned tone. She blinked her big watery eyes and looked silly and cute. It made him want to hold her tightly in his arms and kiss her until the end of time.
“Think about it. Who did you give your coat to today?”
“Coat…” Jessie covered her mouth after she realized it. Her eyes widened inch by inch. After a long while, she asked in disbelief, “Who is she?”
“She is Felix and Fia’s grandmother.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Jessie was stunned.
She could not help but think back to her actions in the airport washroom today. Was there anything wrong with her behavior? Then she felt that she really did not perform well everywhere. Her expression was too cold and her smile was too fake. She did not immediately help her up from the ground and almost left without caring about her wet
but Alex didn’t come in. She asked the maid to come out and call him.
Alex urged her, “I am waiting!”
Jessie had never said something like this on the phone. Even when she had just fallen in love with Mike in the past, she had never kissed him like this. For a moment, she could not say it. Her face was so hot that it could be fried eggs. She smiled and whispered, “Even if I kiss you, you will not feel it. I am hanging up!”
Without waiting for him to urge her again, she hung up the phone first.
Alex felt a fire in his chest.
She agreed to every request of Felix and Fia. She kissed the children without hesitation. She really did not take him seriously!
“Sir, Old Madam invites you to the west side hall.” The maid saw that he hung up the phone, then walked over and said respectfully.
Alex did not answer. His face was dark and gloomy. He went into the building and passed through the long corridor covered with cashmere carpet. He went to the west side hall at the back.
Just as he was about to turn around the corner, his phone rang.
He stopped in his tracks and pressed the button on the screen. It was a WeChat message that she had sent him.
It was a picture of a kiss. Good night followed behind it.
On the picture was a cartoon girl wearing a pink skirt with big watery eyes. She pouted her red lips and kissed the screen.
That picture was cute and adorable. It really resembled Jessie’s shy look.
“Childish!” Alex snorted. He pressed the phone and put it in his pocket. He walked a few steps and took it out again. He stared at the picture several times and could not help but smile.
