21. 21. How Can You Enter Someone Else’s House so Casually?
“Mom…?!” Nanny Lisa quickly used her hands to cover Fia’s small mouth, “My little girl! This form of address of mommy was not something that could be casually called. Don’t say that in front of your father and the others. They will be unhappy.”
The Laurent family had a prominent family background. Countless people wanted to build a relationship with this family
The little guy called Aunt Jeje that. As someone who was liked by the children, she might be treated as someone with ulterior motives by her dad.
If she did not mean that at all, it would be very unfair if she was wrongly accused and misunderstood.
Fia pouted unhappily. “Oh, I know, but I still want to go to the coffee shop to eat Aunt Jeje’s breakfast!”
Bart saw that the person had not come out and went to the room to look for them, “Nanny Lisa, is young miss Fia ready? Sir and Young Master were already eating. If she is late, she will be late for kindergarten.”
Nanny Lisa looked at Fia helplessly, “Your father is here. If you want to go out to eat, go and tell him.”
“Okay, I will tell him!” Anyway, he did not say anything yesterday and silently agreed.
When she entered the restaurant, she saw Alex eating breakfast at the main seat. She ran over happily with her short legs, “Dad, moming. I want to go to Aunt Jeje’s place to eat breakfast.”
Felix silently looked at her. He admired her courage.
Felix could tell that his father did not sleep well last night. He had dark circles under his eyes and his brows were like mountains. He had just entered the kitchen, and Felix could tell that his father hadn’t
slept well. Because of this, he was especially careful when drinking milk, and didn’t dare to make a sound.
Sure enough, Alex’s face sank, “You go again tomorrow!”
Fia’s smiling face was gone. She shouted, “Dad is lying. You promised me yesterday that you would let me go and find her today!”
Alex was unmoved. “I told you that you can find her, but I didn’t let you waste your breakfast!”
Fia closed her eyes and burst into tears. “Dad bullied people. Dad doesn’t keep his word! I’m going to look for Aunt Jeje! I am going to find her!”
Alex’s expression became even gloomier and his tone became heavier, “Fia, don’t cry!”
Fia’s heart was filled with unwillingness and was not afraid of him. Her two small arms were placed on the table and her small face was buried in it. She cried so sadly that her small body was twitching and she could not catch her breath.
Nanny Lisa and Bart watched from the side and felt their hearts ache. They wanted to persuade Alex but did not dare. They rubbed their hands awkwardly.
Alex had only slept for a few hours. Now that she quarreled with him, he lost his patience. He put down his chopsticks and said stemly, “You are not allowed to go out unless you finish your breakfast today!”
He got up and left the kitchen.
Alex turned his head around at the door and coldly glanced at Bart and Nanny Lisa. “No one is allowed to
spoil her.”
No one dared to make a sound when Alex was angry.
Until his tall figure disappeared behind the door, Nanny Lisa quickly ran to Fia’s side. “Miss, if you want to see Aunt Jeje, eat breakfast and let Uncle Bart send you there. Can you eat your breakfast first?”
“Not eating, not eating! I don’t like to eat it…”
The little soup bun that Nanny Lisa had just brought in front of her was flipped over by Fia and scattered all over the floor.
Alex changed into a suit and came over. Nanny Lisa and Bart were cleaning the floor.
Nanny Lisa saw his gloomy face and quickly covered for Fia. “My hand is not steady…”
Alex strode over. He picked Fia up like he was carrying a small cloth bag and turned around to leave.
Felix calmly jumped off the chair and ran after her.
Jessie had a low fever yesterday. It was because of the divorce that she had been in a low state for the past few days. Moreover, there was a conflict after work, which made her extremely unhappy. When she returned home, her body felt even more uncomfortable. She did not even eat before lying down and sleeping.
She fell asleep until the early morning. She was woken up by the hot sweat that she had burned. She felt that her brain had been fried until she was muddle-headed.
She got up and took an emergency fever medicine. After taking a shower, she went back to sleep.
In her daze, she was woken up by the phone ringing. She saw that the phone displayed that it was 7:20 in the morning.
“Hello.” Just as she said one word, her throat became dry and uncomfortable.
“Jessie, those two cute babies came to find you again. Quickly come over!” The female shop assistant held her phone, her eyes occasionally glancing at the noble and extraordinary Alex and said excitedly.
Jessie did like Felix and Fia, but when she thought of their father, the words that he had said yesterday once again appeared in her mind.
Embarrassment and humiliation rolled over and over again.
She closed her eyes and said to Zika, “Tell the children that I have something to do today and will not go to the store.”
Zika was stunned, “What is it?” She lowered her voice again. “Jeje. Let me tell you, today it was the handsome father of the babies who personally sent them over. They are now specifically waiting for you. I t was that handsome man from yesterday! What could be more important than seeing Prince Charming? Furthermore, it was the top Prince Charming who was so handsome that he made people unable to close their legs. You’d better come. We’ll wait for you. I’m begging you. Just give us a chance to look at him for a while longer!”
Jessie touched her forehead, “I will be going to the hospital later. Just like that, I am hanging up.”
Without waiting for Zika to say more, Jessie hung up the phone and called the store manager to apply for sick leave.
After she applied for leave, she turned off her phone and got up.
After burning for a night, her brain was still very muddled and the fever did not refund much. She decided to make a trip to the hospital because this kind of dizziness made it impossible for her to work seriously
After washing up, she carried her bag out of the door.
Just as she opened the door, two small figures at the door raised their heads at the same time. Their watery four black eyes were full of smiles, “Aunt Jeje, morning!”
Jessie was surprised and happy as she quickly squatted down. “Felix, Fia? Why are the two of you here?”
A tall shadow covered them.
Jessie froze.
Alex had a cold expression on his face as he walked into her house.
The man’s perfume on his body clearly drifted towards her.
Jessie stood up and turned her head to glare at him. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted. “How can you casually enter someone else’s house?”
The man bent down his tall body and looked for slippers in her shoe cabinet, as if he was at his own house.
He did not find a suitable one, so he wore dark grey cotton socks and walked straight in through the floor.
She lived alone, and initially thought that the house was quite spacious.
However, when he stood in the living room with a tall figure, the huge living room suddenly seemed to narrow down.
“Please leave!” Jessie was about to chase him out.
Her legs were hugged by a pair of small hands and Fia looked up and softly said, “Aunt Jeje, I haven’t eaten breakfast yet. I’m hungry…”
Hearing the child shout that she was hungry, Jessie felt her heart ache and also did not have the mood to chase Alex away.
She bent over and picked up the little girl and softly said, “You came out without breakfast?”
Fia habitually leaned against her neck and looked pitiful. “Yes, I didn’t eat. I’m hungry.”
Jessie looked at Felix who was behind her. “Felix, have you eaten? Are you hungry too?”
Fia was about to say that Felix and her father had both eaten and that she was the only one who was hungry
Felix had already answered first, “I did not eat either.”
Jessie quickly led the children into the living room and let them sit on the sofa. She handed the television remote to Felix and went to make breakfast herself.
There was a piece of chicken breast in the fridge, a broccoli, and a small bowl of noodles.
After taking out the ingredients, she quickly boiled water, washed vegetables, and cut vegetables.
Very soon, a mouth-watering fragrance drifted out from the kitchen.
She made two bowls of clear water shredded chicken noodles.
Jessie held the soup with both hands and tumed around. She saw the stalwart man who was holding his pockets with both hands in front of the kitchen door. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Only then did she remember that because the children shouted that they were hungry, She had completely forgotten about him and the humiliation he had given her yesterday.
She felt conflicted in her heart.
Alex leaned against the wall with a profound look in his eyes. He just stared at her calmly.
Jessie pursed her lips and continued to ignore him. She took her face out.
Before she walked to the door, a pair of large hands with clear joints reached out and forcefully took the two bowls of noodles from her hands.
Jessie was stunned for a while and let him carry it out. She went to the kitchen to get the spoon and chopsticks.
Alex carried the noodles to the dining table. Without needing Alex to say anything, the two little fellows had already ran over following the fragrance.
“Be careful so you won’t get bum.” Jessie passed the chopsticks and spoon to the two little fellows and instructed them carefully.
Alex’s phone rang. He took out his phone, put one hand into his pocket, and went to the balcony to answer the phone.
When he spoke on the phone, his gaze once again fell on the dining table.
Jessie sat next to the two children. From time to time, she would use a napkin to help the children wipe the soup from the corner of their mouths.
Her movements were gentle and there was a smile on her face.
The apron that she used to put down the noodles had already been taken off. The loose white and pink sweater made her originally thin figure appear even more slender. Her long hair was tied into a soft ponytail behind her head and it was ironed to the back of her fair and beautiful neck.
This scene made Alex feel very warm, and he could not help but be a little stunned.
Rick, who had been on the other side of the phone for a long time, did not get a response. He carefully said,
“Boss?”
Alex came back to his senses, looked out the window again, and said in a low voice, “Yes, you continue.”
Jessie saw that Fia did not know how to use chopsticks.
Jessie helped and picked up the noodles and placed them in the spoon to cool it before handing it to her.
The little fellow ate very happily.
When she picked up another spoonful of noodles and blew at it, the chair opposite her was moved.
Jessie looked up.
Alex had already answered the phone. He was holding his phone with one hand and pulling the chair in front of him with the other. He sat down.
She once again remembered that he had said yesterday that she
deliberately made the children like her.
When she saw her own behavior at that moment, she could not help but freeze. She felt awkward in her heart.
Alex keenly noticed her pause. He raised his eyes to look at her and continued to look at the phone screen “You continue.”
Fia stretched out her small hand but did not see the noodles and simply opened her small mouth to Jessie to ask her to feed. “Ah!”
Jessie was urged by the kid and immediately put away her thoughts. She once again smiled and passed the spoon to her small hand. “Eat it yourself. You have grown up now, so you cannot let others feed you anymore. Also, you have to work hard to learn how to use chopsticks.”
Although she had never had a child before, during those five years, she had never stopped looking forward to having a child.
Because of this, she had read a lot of books on parenting. There were some things that could pamper the child, but the child still had to be taught by themselves.
Fia had already gone to kindergarten and should be leaming to be independent. Alex was reading an email from the company. Hearing her soft voice, he looked up at her.
