Jasper Hawthorne spoke with extre pain in his voice.
Jason Hawthorne responded with an "Oh," and then asked, "How do you know that man is her boyfriend?"
Jason took the opportunity to say, "I saw her having dinner with that man once when I was on a date with Serena, and she told herself that he was her boyfriend. It seems he’s a lawyer! They really do make a good couple standing together."
He said it on purpose to test his uncle’s reaction.
Jason suppressed the displeasure deep within his heart. Whatever Jasper’s purpose was in saying these things, he wouldn’t let his sche succeed!
Trying to test ?
Hmph! He’s still too inexperienced!
"A lawyer and a translator, indeed they make a good match!"
Hearing his uncle say that, Jasper got even more confused. Could it be an illusion that he saw a fleeting coldness in his uncle’s eyes just now?
"But isn’t she Young Master Thorne’s lover?"
"Who told you that?"
Jason slightly raised his eyebrows, asking as if it was only natural, with a face full of curiosity, as if saying: If you know any inside information, spill the gossip to too.
Jasper choked for a mont, "It’s all over the company now, and Uncle, you just said that Young Master Thorne praised Laura Quincy for her talent in front of you."
Jason nodded, "That’s right! But it’s just a complint on her talent, it doesn’t represent anything else."
He was playing Tai Chi with him too.
Jasper felt a sense of indignation, "Young Master Thorne cos from a family of diplomats and is fluent in seven languages. He never needs to bring a translator on business trips, usually only Lemon, but now he’s taken Laura Quincy to Gaulia twice. Doesn’t that say sothing?"
Jason’s expression was calm and detached, "Asher Thorne being fluent in seven languages is true, but for business trips, he surely doesn’t need to do everything personally. Having a translator by his side is more convenient."
These words left Jasper speechless, indeed! What kind of status does Asher have? Does he need to handle everything personally?
Bringing a translator along to help him with work is certainly better...
"I overthought it."
"Good that you understand."
"Uh..."
Jasper simply stopped speaking. Through this conversation with his uncle, he felt even more confused. Yet, he still didn’t fully believe that Laura Quincy was completely innocent...
Jason knew he probably wasn’t fully convinced either, and didn’t plan to explain further. He stood up, "Let’s go! You’ve worked hard today, let’s go eat."
Jasper humbly replied imdiately, "Uncle entrusting this matter to is also a sign of trust."
Jason didn’t say more and walked away with his long strides.
Unseen by Jasper, Jason’s expression instantly turned sinister and terrifying...
That damn woman! Didn’t I tell her to eat at the hotel? She went off to et another man in just a short while!
And it’s a lawyer boyfriend?
Hmph!
He would make sure she realized her mistake tonight!
Laura Quincy, who was eating, suddenly sneezed twice. She rubbed her nose, did soone scold her? Moreover, she felt as if a pair of deep, cold black eyes were watching her...
She glanced around, finding nothing unusual.
Jonah Xavier noticed her condition and couldn’t help asking, "What’s wrong?"
Laura suddenly asked, "Nothing, the building opposite is a high-end office building, right?"
Jonah nodded, "Yes, do you know soone there?"
Laura shook her head, "No, just asking."
Jonah looked at the opposite office building puzzledly as well, everything seed normal, nothing strange.
"Do you have anything in the afternoon?"
"I took on a part-ti job over the weekend, tutoring a child in English."
Laura said apologetically. Actually, even if she wasn’t going to tutor Twinkle in English, she would find another excuse to refuse Counselor Xavier.
She wasn’t single anymore, so she certainly couldn’t get entangled with other n behind The Demon King’s back, especially when she had felt Jonah’s...special attention.
Yet she also found it comfortable being around him.
In such circumstances, things mustn’t develop further...
Jonah looked at her sowhat surprised, "You really don’t leave any personal space for yourself."
Laura smiled, "There’s nothing much to do on weekends anyway! Tutoring children in English isn’t hard, and having sothing to do every day feels more fulfilling."
Jonah’s impression of her instantly elevated again, this girl really was different from the usual won!
After parting ways with Jonah, Laura went to The Hawthorne Villa.
Justin Hawthorne always showed extre joy at her arrival, "Sister, I’ve morized all the words you taught last week."
Laura affectionately patted his fluffy head, "Twinkle is so smart!"
Justin proudly lifted his chin, "Daddy said it’s because Sister teaches well."
Speaking of a certain man, Laura’s expression beca slightly unnatural, "Your daddy hasn’t co back yet, has he?"
Justin shook his head, "Daddy called just now, said he’d have dinner with us tonight."
Laura looked sowhat embarrassed, wondering if Twinkle was quoting directly from The Demon King? He probably hadn’t told Twinkle about their relationship...
"Okay, let’s start the lesson now."
"Got it!"
At 6:40 PM, Jason Hawthorne walked into the house to find a big and small duo cozied up on the sofa playing video gas, with his son Twinkle leaning against Laura Quincy.
Their intimate deanor made him feel a twinge of jealousy...
Moreover, looking at Twinkle’s features, they surprisingly resembled Laura’s, especially when they laughed, their smiles almost identical...
Realizing this suddenly made him even more certain he was doing the right thing.
Since Twinkle liked Laura so much, and she happened to be his biological mother, nothing could be more perfect.
"Sis, help take that guy down!"
"Sis, should I go left or right?"
"Sis, I finally defeated that annoying red-clothed swordsman."
Justin Hawthorne’s childish voice chirped through the living room, and anyone could hear the joy and excitent in his tone.
It seed like the weekends were his happiest days...
Jason Hawthorne waited for quite a while, but no one noticed him, prompting him to clear his throat.
In the midst of the fun, Laura Quincy looked up to see The Demon King standing in front of her, and she sat up straight.
Before she could say anything, Twinkle had already happily jumped forward, "Daddy, you’re back!"
Jason Hawthorne tousled his son’s ssy hair with a gentle gaze, "Did you absorb today’s lessons?"
Twinkle looked up with his little head, "Of course! If you don’t believe , ask Sis! I’m a child prodigy."
Jason Hawthorne assud the look of a strict father, "Who boasts like that?"
Twinkle pouted...
Laura stepped in at the right ti, "Twinkle is indeed very smart! He learns and understands things quickly. I’m the one who called him a child prodigy, so don’t be too harsh on him, he’s just a five-year-old kid after all."
Twinkle quickly snuggled closer to Laura, as if to say: Hmph! Thankfully, I have Sis to back up!
Jason Hawthorne shot a glance at Laura, that damn little woman! He hadn’t even confronted her yet! eting another man at lunch behind his back?
And now she acts so justifiably in front of him?
Who gave her the guts?
However, given that she’s Twinkle’s mother, he decided not to argue with her words...
He then instructed Butler Chadwick, "Tell the kitchen to serve dinner."
Butler Chadwick went to the kitchen, and no one ntioned the previous topic again.
Twinkle sneaked a glance at his daddy, noticing he wasn’t angry and looked relaxed, he couldn’t help but think: It seems daddy and Sis are getting along much better!
What a cause for celebration!
He thought joyfully, just hoping Laura would soon beco his mother, so every day would be even more delightful!
Oh yay!
After dinner, Laura was about to leave, but Twinkle clung to her arm, not letting go, "Sis, what if you can’t get up tomorrow morning? You promised you’d stay over in the guest room on Saturday nights before, to save the trouble of going back and forth! Besides, it’s unsafe for a girl to go back at night, neither Daddy nor I would be at ease."
Saying this, Twinkle desperately gave his daddy a look.
Jason Hawthorne was rendered speechless by his son’s obvious matchmaking attempt!
Luckily, father and son shared the sa opinion!
He then cleared his throat, "It’s rare that Twinkle sincerely wants you to stay. Coming over only once every Saturday night leaves more to be desired, don’t you think?"
Laura’s face turned dark, what did The Demon King an!
He made it sound like she was being pretentious!
"Alright, I’ll stay in the downstairs guest room."
A servant nearby quickly said, "The guest room is cleaned daily; Ms. Quincy, you can stay without worry, the bed sheets have just been washed."
Laura: "Uh..."
So, Laura ended up staying in the guest room, and she couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but she kept feeling like The Demon King was looking at her in a dangerous way tonight...
As if she had done sothing wrong that he had discovered...
Yet all for nothing, she hadn’t done anything!
Twinkle, for so reason, wouldn’t go to bed tonight unless Laura told him stories, otherwise, he’d be stubborn and refuse to sleep.
Jason Hawthorne glared at his son, "Daddy will tell you a story."
Twinkle shook his head, "No! Daddy, your storytelling is so lacking in charm! It’s just like reading a book, not interesting at all! I want Sis to tell stories!"
He stubbornly refused, and Jason Hawthorne’s face darkened, nearly losing his temper...
Laura quickly interjected, "Let do it! You step out first."
Twinkle also chid in, "Daddy, you leave! Let Sis stay with !"
His voice was childish and adorable, inherently cute.
But Jason Hawthorne wasn’t in the mood because he could already foresee the future scenario of his son competing with him for Laura...
If Twinkle knew Laura was his biological mom, wouldn’t he cling to her every night to sleep together?
Thinking about this situation, he felt he couldn’t tell his son too early...
Otherwise, he’d have fewer chances of cuddling with his wife...
It took an hour for Laura to tell stories until Twinkle finally fell asleep, and after putting him to sleep, she was sore all over, having kept one position for too long.
