64. Naughty Child
When Jessie returned to her room, she took the phone from the table and dialed Alex’s number.
The phone rang several times, but no one answered.
She did not know if he did not hear it or if he deliberately did not answer.
Jessie’s heart was burning with anxiety.
He only answered the phone after she made the second call.
The man’s magnetic voice was distant, “Who are you?”
Jessie was stunned. Then she remembered that this was her new phone number and he should not have saved it. She bit her lips and said, “Have you guys-returned to R City now?”
“Does it have anything to do with you?”
“Felix, Fia and the others…”
“Their matter has nothing to do with you.” Every word Jessie said was blocked by his coldness. She was silent for a second and he said impatiently, “I have something to do. I don’t have time to chat with you. I’m hanging up!”
“I want to talk to you –”
Before she could finish, Alex had already hung up.
Jessie looked at the phone and was stunned.
She knew that he had a bad temper, but he was actually so straightforward.
Tony’s words made her tremble with fear. She held her phone and dialed Felix’s number.
It was Fia who answered the call. “Hello ~”
Hearing her weak voice, Jessie’s heart hurt. “Fia, what happened to you? Does the wound hurt again?”
When Fia heard her voice, she felt like she was going to cry even more, “Aunt Jeje…”
“Fia, do you feel pain? Where is your father? Is he not there?” Jessie was so anxious that she wanted to fly to her side and hug her to comfort her.
“Dad went to socialize.”
“Where’s your brother?”
It was finally Felix who answered the phone. “Aunt Jeje.”
Jessie remembered that Alex had said that in R City, he would arrange a family doctor and quickly instructed him to take care the children, “Felix, Fia’s injury is hurting again. Go and get a family doctor.”
“There is no doctor here. We are now in the south bank resort.”
“You did not return to the R City?” The south bank resort was located in the Nanchuan town. I t was next to the South Coast Hill, a famous tourist attraction in the Hai City. “No, dad has a job here, so we came here first.”
“What about him?”
“Some uncles are looking for him. He left us in his room and went out.”
Fia cried even louder, “It hurts! Aunt Jeje, my hand hurts…” When Jessie heard this, her heart collapsed and she hurriedly said, “I will call your father!” She hung up and then called Alex’s phone, but he did not
answer. Jouvita was about to go upstairs and call Jessie to go down to eat when she saw her neatly dressed, carrying a bag and running downstairs. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Where are you going?”
Jessie did not even turn her head. “I have something to do. I will be back soon!”
Tony also ran over from the backyard. “Jessie, can I send you there?”
“No need!”
After getting a taxi, Jessie went straight to South Coast Hill’s holiday residence.
It was not far away. She took a taxi for more than 20 minutes to arrive. Before entering the villa, Jessie first asked about the location of the nearest medical center, then went to the front desk to ask where Alex and the rest lived.
In front of the water, in the small building behind the mountain, Fia was comfortably lying on the sofa as she nibbled on the persimmon cake. At the same time, she was worried as she asked her father who had just finished bathing and came out of his house. “Dad, why hasn’t Aunt Jeje come over yet?”
Alex did not answer. He went into the room to change his clothes.
Fia then looked at Felix who was also eating the persimmon cake and reading a book.”. Brother, is father’s method feasible?”
“Don’t worry, Aunt Jeje will come!” Felix did not even look up. “Aunt Jeje’s brain is similar to yours. She will definitely believe it. She should be on the way now.”
Fia’s heart relaxed but then she wrinkled her delicate brows, “Felix, what does Aunt Jeje’s
brain mean by similar to mine? Are you saying that we are stupid?”
Felix raised his eyebrows and did not say anything.
Fia understood his expression and gritted her teeth, “Wait and see. When Aunt Jeje comes, I will tell her that you scolded me and her for being stupid!”
Felix’s small face was calm, “You will not say.”
“See if I dare!”
“Don’t forget, you’ve already pretended to cry a few times to trick her. I’m a witness.”
Fia was so choked by him that she did not want to talk. She said angrily, “Felix, I curse you that there will never be a girl chasing after you!”
Felix finished the last mouthful of the persimmon cake and patted his hands, “Just nice. I like peace!”
“You…”
The doorbell rang.
Fia who instantly angry become joy again. “Aunt Jeje is here!”
She immediately jumped up from the sofa and was about to open the door when Alex, who had walked out of the bedroom, said something cold to her. She was so scared that she immediately put her feet away. “You want to let her see that you are pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy?”
She shrank her head and went back into the sofa. She even used her other hand to cover her injured hand, ready to pretend to be in pain at any time.
“You two go back to your rooms. Don’t come out if I don’t tell you!” Alex gave the order and Felix immediately carried it out. He picked up Fia’s collar and quickly walked into the room.
Jessie saw a tall man wearing a white shirt and black pants in front of the door. He looked cold and indifferent. Jessie was stunned for a moment. She looked up at him in a daze. “You are back?”
“Miss Jessie, why are you free to come here?” Alex was expressionless. Alex’s body blocked the door. He held the door with one hand and did not seem to be ready to let her in.
His attitude made Jessie feel very uncomfortable in her heart. She did not care about his alienation and looked inside. “Where is Fia? Is the injury on her hand still painful?”
“I have already said that the children’s matters in the future have nothing to do with you.” Alex did not move at all. His handsome face was as cold as ice.
“Can’t you let me go in and take a look?”
Fia, who was in the bedroom, was so anxious that she wanted to run out immediately. Aunt
Jessie was already here, why did his father not let her go and see her?
Felix knew that this girl would not be able to hold her temper. He directly used his hand to hold her and used his eyes to warn her not to make a sound.
Alex’s face was still as cold as ice. “Do you care whether they live or die?”
Jessie was worried about Fia and was stopped by him again and again. She was also angry.” Why can’t I care about them? They are…”
Alex mercilessly interrupted her. “Miss Jessie, your words are ridiculous. You are clearly afraid that they will become your burden and let me take them away. I am doing as you wish now, but you are chasing me and saying that you care about them?”
no
Jessie felt wronged in her heart and her eyes turned slightly red, “Can you not randomly misinterpret the meaning of others?”
Alex stared at her deeply. His deep eyes were sharp and aggressive. “Then what do you mean?
Jessie’s heart was in a mess from being stared at by him.
Alex continued, “The two children are used to being with you now. When I took them away, they cried. I have something to do here. I heard someone from the resort call me, saying that the two of them wanted to find you by themselves. That’s why I had to finish my work early and rush back.”
The meaning of his words was to let her know that if she left, even if she returned to R City, the two children might run away from home to find her again.
This kind of thing, the little fellows had not only done it once. Alex also knew that Jessie would definitely believe such words.
“They were lucky before that nothing bad happened. But they are still young and I am their father. How can I be at ease? But I can’t tie their hands and feet with ropes.”
Alex’s every word had pierced her heart.
Seeing her face gradually turning as white as snow and her red lips trembling, he paused for a moment, and his tone softened a little. “But you don’t have to care about these things. I said that this matter wasn’t your fault in the first place. You can choose whatever you want. If it really doesn’t work, I can use some forceful methods to prevent them from running around again”
Not giving them any freedom at all?
These words made Jessie’s heart palpitate. They were only five years old children. How was h e going to force them? What right did he have to not give them freedom?
Just as she was about to question him, Fia forcefully pulled open the bedroom door and the little girl flew out like a little bird, “Aunt Jeje!”
Jessie’s heart become softened when she saw her. Her maternal instinct made her push away the big man who was blocking the door. She quickly ran in and squatted down to tightly hold the little fellow in her arms. She lovingly pulled her injured hand over to see, “Does it still hurt? Did you take the medicine on time today?”
Fia lay in her arms. She looked pitiful. “I’ve taken the medicine. I just miss you. I miss you so much that my injury hurts.”
Alex glared at Felix, who had come out from behind him, and scolded him with his eyes.
He was about to talk about the critical moment when he was interrupted. He was about to make a little girl submit to him.
In the end…
Fia, this silly child!
Felix shrugged innocently. He did not expect Fia, who had been quietly waiting, to suddenly push him down.
Jessie heard the little girl’s soft and tender voice and felt as if a knife was being twisted in her heart. She hugged Fia’s small face and kissed a few times, “I will bring you to the infirmary to take a look. You haven’t changed the medication today, right?”
“Yes.” Jessie held her little hand and saw Felix looking at her from behind. She gently reached out with her other hand. “Felix, can you go with your sister?”
Felix could not wait to see her. He immediately reached out his little hand and held her big white and soft hand.
One big and two small walked out. Alex took his pocket with one hand and was about to follow them to the infirmary.
Jessie turned around and said with a calm expression, “Mr. Alex, continue with your work. I will take the children to change the medicine and send them here.”
Mr. Alex?
Very good. He just used Miss Jessie to call her and she immediately returned it.
She was very clever in this aspect!
Felix and Fia looked at his father and smiled. “Dad, you can go ahead and do whatever you want. We just need Aunt Jeje to accompany us.”
Alex was speechless. Why didn’t he realize that these two children were so annoying in the past?
