46. You're so Shameless! After coming out of Fia’s room, Alex was about to go to Felix’s room when his phone rang.
He took out his phone from his suit pocket.
When he saw the number, his handsface beccolder and he hung up the phone.
A few minutes later, his phone rang again.
His gloomy face focused on the phone screen, but he didn’t answer.
This time, the phone didn’t ring.
It only rang for the third tbefore it hung up.
Alex was in an even worse mood. He did not enter the children’s room again. He strode towards the study at the end of the corridor.
He lit a cigarette by the window, held it in one hand, and picked up his phone with the other.
He stared at the screen for a few minutes, but the caller did not call again.
He put the cigarette in his mouth and took a few deep breaths.
In a ball of light blue smoke, he unlocked his phone and dialed back the missed call.
As soon as the call connected, he coldly said: “What is it?” Jessie could hear the impatience in his tone and carefully asked, “Sorry, | woke you up so late, didn’t I? Are you with Felix and Fia? Can | talk to them on the phone?” “You kept callingwhen you knew it would be noisy?” Jessie heard the coldness in his words and felt even more apologetic in her heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer jacket was stained with blood. When she was in the hospital, she took it off and put it in her bag. At this moment, she was only wearing a sky-blue dress. Her arms and half of her calves were exposed. After a few hours of cold wind, her body was stiff. Her voice was so cold that it trembled slightly,”... Fia also went to sleep, right? Sorry. | didn’t notice it was so late. Then I'll go tomorrow.” “Do you think that they are all five-year-old children who are childish and easy to coax? You didn’t do what you promised and now you want to make a phone call to comfort them so that they forget about this matter and still make up with you?” Hearing his malicious accusations, Jessie felt that her crcould not be forgiven, “I really wanted to cand find them. | went out in the morning. But -” She swallowed the word ‘car accident’ when it was about to cout of her mouth. For sreason, she felt that it was a bit hard to tell Alex about her ex-husband, and she herself did not know why.
“You really don’t need to take the matter of a five-year-old child to heart, because in Miss Jessie's eyes, anything is more important than them!” Jessie could not take it anymore as she was continuously attacked and mocked by him. She was a little annoyed and said, “I really did not do it on purpose!” “What is it?” “Eh?” Jessie asked. He changed the topic too quickly and Jessie could not keep up with him.
“You are not going to explain?” Alex waited silently for nearly a minute and sneered. “I understand. Recently, as a father, | have not done my duty. | let them disturb Miss Jessie's life. Actually, you do not need to feel troubled. They are only two five-year- old children. Even if you directly say that you have never taken them seriously, they are just two five-year-old children. Their memory is very bad. At most, they will be sad for a while. It'll be fine after stime.” Jessie finally could not bear it anymore. “I may have really disturbed Boss Alex's rest. So | can understand why you are scoldingnow. But | really had something to do before, so I did not rush over. What right do you have to say that | did not take the children seriously?” She paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and said: “I know that if | say this, you might think it's absurd. Actually, even | think it’s absurd. | really care about Felix and Fia. To me, they are like very important family. | really...” Tears started to flow out of her eyes. She hung up the phone directly.
The sound of the car coming from afar made her turn her head.
An old man dressed in a dark blue mountain suit walked out of the car. He looked hale and his face was kind.
“Little girl, who are you looking for?” Rudolf saw that his precious grandson and granddaughter were not in a good mood today. They did not have much to eat for dinner. Rudolf especially went out to buy them a Mu Si cake that they liked in the middle of the night.
Rudolf went to the front door of his house and saw Jessie. He didn’t recognize Jessie and thought that she was looking for a nanny or driver in his house. He specially cover to ask and prepare to help.
Jessie did not expect to meet someone. She quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Sorry, | walked the wrong way.” She turned around and left in a hurry.
Rudolf carried the cake into the house and muttered to his wife, “Young people nowadays have a really bad sense of direction. There are even people who got lost and cto our place.
Restall took the box from his hand, “Are you seeing things?” There was only one old house in Laurent family within a few miles of this area. If there was a car parked in the wrong place, it was possible. But how could a person walk in the wrong direction? “I'm not mistaken. There's a young lady at the entrance of our courtyard. She’s wearing a thin skirt and it's freezing cold.” Alex cout of the study and smoked a few cigarettes. He heard Rudolf’s last sentence.
He suddenly remembered a woman saying, | am here to find Felix and Fia.
He pondered for a few seconds. He suddenly strode past Rudolf and Restall, picked up the car keys on the cabinet, and disappeared into the night sky outside.
“Could it be that the girl is looking for him?” Rudolf stared at the door.
“Really?” Restall said and also followed outside.
“In the middle of the night, where are you going?” Rudolf caught her.
Restall was excited. “I'm going to see what kind of girl she is.” “She has long gone far away. How could you possibly catch up to her?” Restall then kept her legs and grabbed Rudolf to ask again and again, “Is she really a girl? How old is she? What does she look like? Was she fat or thin? Was her skin white? Is her eyes big or not?” Wasn't this making things difficult for Rudolf? He only gave her a glance. He wouldn't pay attention to these things! Another car was speeding over from behind. Jessie was wearing a white coat with blood on her body It was too cold.
Furthermore, it was night now and there was no one around. If she put it on, she would scare someone.
She had just put on her clothes and the car that she thought would pass by, suddenly stopped not far in front of her.
The door of the passenger seat was pushed open from the inside. The man on the driver's seat had a gloomy expression and his tone was not any better. “Get in the car!” Jessie saw him and thought of his repeated accusations. She withdrew her gaze from him and turned her head to continue walking forward.
Alex beceven angrier.
She broke the promise and made them wait for her for an entire morning for nothing. She did not even have any explaination. She even hung up on him first. He put down his pride and chased after her, but she still ignored him! “Are you coming up?” His thick eyebrows twisted into a line, and his cold voice couldn't help but rise.
Jessie was indeed angry because of what he said on the phone just now, but now that he chased after her, her resentment had mostly dissipated.
Hearing his shout, she stopped her footsteps, paused for a moment, and walked back to the car.
Just as she entered, the man wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed her against the back of the passenger seat.
“What are you doing?” Too sudden, Jessie could not help but scream in fear.
Jessie and Alex were very close. The tip of Jessie's nose almost touched Alex’s nose. His breathing was very heavy, and his dark black eyes were very cold.
She could not withstand his gaze and could not help but bite her lips, feeling wronged. Tears flowed out of her eyes again.
“You lied to us, and you still have the nerve to cry?” Once she cried, Alex’s heart was in chaos, but his tone was still frightening.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“| already said that | did not do it on purpose...” Jessie swallowed back her tears and pushed him with her hand.
When she let go a little, Alex saw the blood on Jessie’s clothes. His ink eyes immediately narrowed dangerously, and his tone revealed nervousness. “What's with the blood on your clothes?” Jessie's phone suddenly rang. It was Linda. “Jes, Mike woke up and wants to see you. Can you cover now?” On the way to the hospital, the two of them did not speak.
When they reached the hospital, Jessie knew that Alex must have heard Jessie's call just now. Before getting off the car, she turned around and honestly told him everything, “There was an accident this morning. Mike was seriously injured in his leg to save me, and he is still in the ICU..” After Jessie went into the hospital for a long time, Alex's car was still parked at the entrance o f the hospital.
The window was open and he smoked one cigarette after another.
When the cigarette box was empty, he took out his phone and dialed a number. “Check, what i s Mike doing?” Alex did not believe that after Mike had just dumped Jessie, who had nothing to do with her identity and background, in just one or two months, Mike would turn his head back to a woman who still had nothing.
After staying in the hospital for the middle of the night and going to the kindergarten an hour earlier in the morning, Jessie looked a little haggard.
In the morning, there were many people taking care of the children. After Driver Bart brought the two children out of the car, they did not see her.
Felix walked in front of Fia. He was wearing a western school uniform with his hands in his pockets. He pursed his lips and the teacher at the door greeted him, but he did not want to speak either.
Fia was wearing Harrow ‘s school uniform skirt. Below were white cotton socks and black leather shoes. She has bangs and her hair was tied in a high ponytail. She walked at the back with her heads down and her steps were full of energy.
Jessie saw them and could not help but split the crowd. She quickly chased after them and anxiously said, “Fia! Felix!” Fia almost turned around at the stand revealed an excited smile on her face.
But that smile was forced back by her for a second. She snorted and turned her head away from Jessie.
“Fia, Felix, | want to talk to you for a while, okay?” Jessie chased over and wanted to pull Fia’s little hand.
Another white and tender hand reached over and pulled Fia behind him. Felix looked at her and his small face showed a very polite expression, “Aunt Jessie, we are going to class.” Since the first tthey met, Felix had never used such an expression to treat her like an outsider.
Jessie's hand suddenly froze awkwardly in the air.
Driver Bart smiled and wanted to talk to Jessie.
Fia did not look at Jessie and threw a small temper at Bart. “Uncle Bart, why aren’t you sending us in? We are all going to be late!”
