Chapter 33 Daddy Asks Mommy Out
“Aletta, that’s a bold move. Who do you think you are for saying those stuff?” Jenny remarked. She was mad at Aletta’s sharp-tongued sarcasm and immediately scolded her.
Aletta sneered slightly, “Why? You don’t like it? Did I say something wrong?”
“Seriously? You….” Jenny gritted her teeth, unable to throw another remark at her. If Aletta had been the person she was before, Jenny probably would have slapped without holding herself back.
Right now, Aletta was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Hill family. Consequently, she controlled herself and muttered while gritting her teeth, “Don’t speak so grandly about yourself, Aletta! Do you think I don’t know what’s on your mind? Back then, you tried so hard to make Jason yours. I have to admit that I was malicious. Pushing Gail down the stairs, occupying the identity of Jason’s wife, and refusing to let go were all my doings.”
She paused to breathe, then said, “If Gail hadn’t returned to this country later and Jason had asked for a divorce, would you have been willing to leave his family?”
She stared intensely at Aletta’s eyes with indifference and disgust, “Let me tell you, this time. This cooperation between the two companies is insignificant. I hope you can be more sensible!”
In other words, she implied that the cooperation would be canceled to make Aletta stay away from her son. As Aletta heard her words, there was a hint of chill in her eyes, and she asked Jenny in a very calm tone, “Isn’t this Jason’s intention that you come to terminate the cooperation?”
Although Aletta’s relationship with Jason was tense, according to what she knew about him, He wasn’t the type of man who did such a contradictory thing.
Jenny arrogantly said, “So what is it with you whether it’s true? In short, the Hill family can’t cooperate with you! Today, let me put my words here. If you dare to pester Jason, I will get rid of you. And I can’t wait for that moment to come.”
Jenny emphasized her last words with a tone full of threats. Knowing what her intention was, Aletta wasn’t afraid at all. She knew that the Hill Family had a strong influence in this country. They could make everyone who messed with them end in misery with the snap of their hands.
If those people wanted to save themselves from the Hill Family member, they’d better get rid of themselves abroad. Because Hill Family would find those who mess with them, staying abroad was the only choice.
However, if Jenny thought that after all these years, she could control everything, that would be naive.
Aletta immediately sneered, “Mrs. Hill, you sure have a way of playing with your privilege, but unfortunately, did you find yourself in the wrong place? You don’t want Hill Group to cooperate with our company. Thus you went directly to Jason to stop our collaboration. If he agrees, will you need to pester me yourself?”
“Furthermore, our company is top-rated in the industry nowadays. Several major domestic groups are rushing to cooperate with us. Let me repeat myself, our partner is not only the Hill Group. Still, you came to me indiscriminately and clamored on me.”
She stared straight into Jenny’s eyes. “Seriously, you don’t think I’m still the same daughter-in-law you used to order around and pressure, do you? If so, then I only have one sentence for you… get lost from my face!”
“Stupid bitch! How dare you say those things to me!” Jenny was so angry that she slapped the table on the spot.
There were quite a few customers in the coffee shop. Seeing this, they couldn’t help but look at them.
Alta rubbed her ears as if nothing had happened, then got up and said, “There’s no need to be so excited, Madam Hill. I think I keep my emotion in check better than you. Your behavior today is really presumptuous!” After saying this, she left without glancing back, leaving Jenny alone, trembling with anger.
Not far away, on another seat near their table, Gail hid behind the potted plants, watching this scene with disappointment. She thought that letting Jenny come would make Aletta retreat voluntarily. She didn’t expect that Aletta was such a tough cookie.
She secretly gritted her teeth and comforted herself, ‘It’s okay. This is just the beginning, Alta. Let’s wait and see!’
***
In the Hill Villa, after Jason sent the two children home, he didn’t return to his office. He worried their condition would recur in the evening, so he opted to work from home. He ordered Eaton to go to the company and fetch him the crucial documents to be reviewed.
When dealing with official business, he told the two little guys, “If you feel uncomfortable at night, you can continue to rest. Otto can practice calligraphy.”
“Okay, Daddy,” Otto obediently responded. He quickly fetched the paper, spread it on the table, and practiced calligraphy here.
Seeing Otto practice the calligraphy this late at night, Nina took the initiative to help her brother with the ink.
When Jason saw her action, his eyes softened, and then he began to flip through the documents.
In the middle of the work, Jason suddenly remembered something and immediately told Eaton, next to him, “Call Grande Hotel, ask them if we can have a dinner reservation tonight.” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Otto held the brush mid-air and stopped his movement. He couldn’t help but raise his eyes, stealing glances at his father after hearing his words. He knew that every time his father had to meet with important clients or people he valued, he would make an appointment at Grande Hotel.
His brain worked fast, assuming that his father would likely bring Gail to have dinner with him. The little guy was dissatisfied with his own thinking. He frowned his delicate brows and asked aloud, “Who did you invite to dinner, Daddy?”
Nina also raised her head, and her round eyes stared at Jason questioningly.
Jason felt an unspeakable emotion when he met his daughter’s questioning gaze. He said helplessly, “Just a client.”
Otto didn’t believe his words, and his expression showed it all. “Grandma said before that she wanted to make an appointment to talk about you and…” he paused, his tone of dissatisfaction almost overflowing. “Ms. Rogers’s marriage, is it true? Do you really want to marry her?”
After hearing this, Jason’s eyes darkened slightly, as if he didn’t expect the little guy to know this. Watching his indignant expression, Nina, .next to him, also showed a sad face. Their reaction made his heart ache.
Jason looked at them with a soft gaze and gently told them, “It’s a client. Believe me, would you do that for me, guys?”
Eaton also quickly added, “Master and Miss Hill. Mr. Hill will indeed have a meeting with a client. The company recently has been talking about perfume cooperation, and Mr. Hill has to deal with the signing
of the contract in the evening, not to see Ms. Grail Rogers.”
‘Perfume company?’ Otto asked himself. He was stunned momentarily and immediately realized, ‘Is it Mommy’s company?’
The last time he was outside the study, he overheard that his father would cooperate with his mother. He was so happy when he heard it. ‘So… does it mean that Daddy will meet Mommy tonight?’
Otto instantly smiled and the anger he had just now evaporated. ‘If it’s Mommy, I don’t mind!’
He replied happily, “So that’s the case, then we trust you, Daddy!”
Nina nodded, lowered her head and wrote in the small notebook, [Go, Daddy! Work hard and earn money to support us!]
Jason looked at them in amusement. His heart bloomed with joy when he saw how the two were so supportive. Others seldom commented on what he wanted to do from childhood to adulthood. But just getting a little support from these two made him feel like he could change the world.
Jason couldn’t hold himself to pinch their cheeks lovingly and ordered, “Now, go and do your homework. Don’t ask about my affairs all day long.”
Otto pursed his lips and withdrew his eyes from his father. He focused his eyes on the paper before him. He didn’t think about a poem he should write but how to make his parents spend more time together.
‘Hmm, Mommy and Daddy should take a walk or watch a movie after dinner. It should be very romantic, right? That’s what couples always do on TV.’
