41. He Can Actually Do This in front of the Child
Jessie thought that Alex was here to pick them up and bring them home. She couldn’t follow them back home.
As she walked over, she smiled and sent the two children to the car. She was about to say goodbye to them.
The man in the driver’s seat had already gotten out of the car and walked over.
He was wearing an exquisite dark blue casual suit and a cotton T-shirt. He was tall, his legs were long, and his waist was tight. He had perfect facial features, as handsome as a sculpture. He was born with a natural noble aura.
Jessie looked at him and could not help but feel her face heat up. Alex placed one hand on the roof of the car and pushed her into the passenger seat. Fia saw Jessie sitting in front and her small body squeezed between the two leather seats in front of her, wanting Jessie to hug her. She climbed halfway and her head was blocked by a big palm.
“Sit back!” Alex said in a deep voice.
Jessie looked at the little girl’s pouting mouth and could not help but pull away the man’s big hands. She reached out two hands to carry the little girl over and let her sit on her lap.
Fia hugged Jessie’s neck and did not forget to raise her little chin towards Alex and snorted proudly.
Jessie could not help but scratch her little nose, “You are so naughty.” Alex looked at them and leaned over. His long arm stretched over Jessie’s slender waist.
Jessie’s face was red and she subconsciously pushed his hand.
He pulled her hand away.
Because they were behind Fia, the two children did not see their intimate actions.
The man looked at her through the child’s eyes and the large hand that held her slender fingers slowly closed.
Jessie did not say anything and stared at him with her watery eyes full of panic. Her palm was hot and her face was hot too. It was as if even her heart was hot. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She complained as she bit her pink lips to death. He actually did this in front of the child.
“Dad, can we treat Aunt Jeje to a meal outside today?” Fia asked charmingly.
“Yes.” The man’s deep eyes were still staring at Jessie. He finally let go of his hand and pulled
the seatbelt to fasten Jessie’s seat. He sat back and started the car.
Fia looked at Jessie and smiled like a little elf, “Aunt Jeje, let’s go to KFC to eat hamburgers?” 1
Jessie’s heart finally settled down. She hugged the little girl’s little body, “Sure.”
“You want to eat KFC by yourself, right?” Felix, who was sitting in the backseat, bluntly exposed her thoughts.
“You also want to eat KFC. Last time, because you ate too much in KFC, you still need to take your medicine.”
“Fia!”
” You are not allowed to roar at me!”
“If you continue to argue, then get out of here!” Under the pressure of their father, the car finally returned to silence.
The car slowed down in a private restaurant square.
When Fia saw this, she immediately pursed her lips and threw herself into Jessie’s arms, her face full of unhappiness.
Jessie’s heart softened and she turned her head to look at the man beside her. “Shall we go to the KFC?”
“Don’t spoil her!”
Jessie’s pretty face turned red and she did not speak anymore.
The car stopped and Jessie was about to open the door when the car started again.
She looked at him in surprise.
Alex ignored her and focused on driving.
Not long after, the car stopped in the parking lot at the nearest KFC entrance.
Jessie looked at the shop in KFC outside and was stunned. Wasn’t he unwilling to come here?
Fia got what she wanted and after getting out of the car, she happily hummed a song and skipped all the way. Felix closely followed and the corner of his beautiful lips curled. It could be seen that the little fellow was also very happy.
The four people with stunning looks were beautiful paintings wherever they went. Once they entered, they immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
There was a table by the window.
The two children pulled Jessie to order food.
Alex took out his phone from his suit pocket and handed it to her. “The password for turning o n the phone is the same as the password for payment. Six zeros.”
Jessie was stunned.
The man had already thrown the phone into her hands.
The two children ordered a good meal. Jessie thought of Alex and asked the children, “What should we order for your Dad?”
“Just order a cup of black tea for my dad. He won’t eat these.” Fia’s large eyes were still staring at the various gourmet pictures inside the counter.
Jessie thought for a while and said to the waiter, “Add a cup of black tea and add another serving according to the one I ordered.”
It was already very late and he definitely did not have dinner either. Anyway, she had ordered for him. As for whether he would eat or not, it was his business.
When the bill was paid, Jessie used her phone to pay.
In her reserved way of thinking, she had never had the habit of using men’s money.
When she was in love with Mike, Mike did not have money. So when they were dating, it was usually her who paid.
Later on, Mike had money, but he did not have time to spend money for her.
The food they ordered was ready very quickly. It was a big tray full of dishes.
Jessie struggled to carry the plate. Felix and Fia were about to help take the drinks from the tray.
Jessie did not know when Alex came over. He stretched out his long arm and took the tray from Jessie’s arms and easily carried it over.
Jessie went to the table and sat down. She returned the phone to Alex and ordered the dishes according to their respective orders.
She handed the last set meal to Alex, “The children said that you are not used to eating these, so they casually ordered one for you. Eat some first.”
Alex nodded faintly. He took the cup of black tea and closed his long legs. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the light in front of the window.
Fia winked at Jessie and whispered, “My dad doesn’t fit in the group.”
Her small expression was full of disdain.
Jessie could not help but laugh.
Her phone rang.
Jessie took it out and saw an unknown number.
She thought it was someone from the company, so she pressed her phone and answered it by her ear, “Hello.”
Mike’s voice came through the microphone, “Jessie.”
Jessie quickly took down her phone and hung up the call. After a while, Mike called again.
Jessie continued to hang up and turned her phone to silent mode.
She inadvertently looked up and met his cold eyes. She panicked for no reason and hurriedly grabbed the hamburger to eat.
As she was drinking, she heard Fia’s surprised child voice. “Dad, don’t you like to eat these?”
She was still thinking that if he did not eat, his share would belong to her in the future. Alex really hated it. In the past, he wouldn’t eat a single bite every time he came here. Why did he have to eat again today? Jessie could not help but look at the opposite side again.
Alex’s two hands were on the table, holding a hamburger and slowly biting it bit by bit.
His movements were so elegant that it looked like he was eating in a luxurious and elegant western restaurant.

Jessie looked at the hamburger that was exactly the same as his, and her heart inexplicably trembled.
Fia saw that other people were wearing paternal clothing and remembered Teacher Mirna repeatedly telling her that the day of the parent-child meeting, her classmates and parents had to wear beautiful parent-child clothing to attend.
Although she had always ignored Teacher Mirna’s words, this time she was prepared to give Teacher Mirna a lot of face.
At that time, Teacher Mirna would definitely be moved to tears and snot. When she thought of that scene, the little girl’s heart was stirred.
After eating KFC, she asked Alex to buy them parental clothing. She said that her teacher asked them to wear parental clothing on that day.
Alex didn’t believe her and asked Felix.
Felix also nodded.
Fia held Jessie’s hand and stuck it to her side, “Aunt Jeje, when the time comes, you will play games with me. We will definitely get first place!”
Alex’s deep gaze turned to Jessie.
Jessie did not dare to mention the matter of the parent-child meeting to him and her pretty face instantly turned red.
“Where would you find such clothes?” Alex asked.
Jessie remembered that she had seen them in a shopping mall before, so she said it out loud.
Alex opened the car door and said, “All of you, get in the car.”
When she entered the shopping mall and saw the completely different styles of clothing that her father usually wore, Fia was a little worried. She whispered to Felix, “Will father not like t o wear child’s clothing? What if he doesn’t wear child’s clothing?”
“Don’t worry, he will wear it.” A profound smile hung on Felix’s small face.
“Really?”
“Trust me, he will! Aunt Jeje had already promised to participate in their parent-child meeting, so she would definitely wear it. As long as she wore it, our father would definitely wear it.”
Jessie came with them to buy the parent-child attire, and the pressure in her heart was huge. All kinds of thoughts filled her heart. She was helpless and at a loss as to what to do.
Her heart seemed to float in the air and could not descend.
Amidst all sorts of struggles, Alex had already bought all four sets of parental clothing.
After coming out, he drove straight back to Mountain and River Residence.
It was a little late, and the two children were tired to the point of falling asleep in the backseat.
Jessie only woke up when she realized that the road was not right. “You pull over to the side and stop for a while. I’m going back.”
The car continued to drive forward and did not have any intention of stopping.
Jessie’s phone rang.
It was not a phone call, but a message notification.
The message that Mike sent was: (Yura and I have already gotten rid of our relationship. We don’t have any feelings for each other. You are the only person I love. I used to be an asshole. I didn’t know how to cherish you. I thought everything would be fine after I had a career, fame, and money. But now, after I divorced you, I realized that I let you down in the past. I’ll use the rest of my life to compensate you for what I owe you. You said that you wanted to hold a wedding in your hometown, This time, we’ll go to your hometown to hold a wedding. I’ll marry you grandly in front of all your family members. I have let you down for five years, and
I will make it up to you for ten or twenty years in the future. Okay?).
Before the first one was finished, he sent two more messages.
(Jessie, I beg you to give me one more chance. Give me one more chance to make it up to you.]
(Jessie, let’s start over. Let me love you again, okay?]
Looking at the text messages one after another, Jessie’s mind recalled that year when Mike was in front of everyone in her dormitory, he sincerely said to her, “Jes, let me take care of you in the future. Let me love you, okay?”
“How long more do you want to see?”
A man’s cold and deep voice suddenly sounded from the side, scaring Jessie and making her phone about to fall.
Alex reached over and caught the phone in time. When he stuffed it back into her hand, he also held her cold hand in his palm.
The warmth in his palm made Jessie turn her head to look at him.
In the gorgeous neon lights flashing by the window, the outline of the man’s side was clearly visible. His attention was focused on the road in front of him. His slender fingers passed through her fingertips and were tightly connected to her ten fingers. In this invisible gentleness, the temperature in the car seemed to rise gradually.
