Chapter 85
How cruel of Jasper. Wyatt merely spoke out of line a few times, and he ended up getting anesthesia on his tongue from Dr. Morgan. He couldn't even taste his alcohol now.
"Tris! Juls!" a middle-aged woman called out anxiously at the restaurant entrance. Helen patted her thighs, looking worried as she added, "Dear me, where have they gone..." "Grand-aunt, we're here!" Two children jumped out from behind the screen and hurried over to Helen with their tiny legs.
Tristan was faster and steadier, so he got to Helen first and hugged her leg. He buried his face against her leg to comfort her, hoping that she wouldn't worry and get angry. As Julian rushed over, his tiny frame bumped into Jasper's leg as he was passing by. Jasper was unaffected, but Julian was knocked forward before falling to the ground. It seemed painful because he had slid forward for a bit before coming to a halt.
Jasper frowned. He was about to go over and pick the boy up.
Yet, the child was tougher than he thought. Instead of crying, the boy got up and flashed him a bright smile. He said in a childish voice, "I'm sorry for bumping into you, Mister." The boy had a pretty face. Defined brows, long lashes, and big eyes. He even had fair skin.
The boy's appearance gave Jasper a sense of familiarity and closeness.
However, this was the first time they had met.
The boy turned and hurried back to the middle-aged woman.
The woman held onto the two boys and left.
There was an indescribable sense of melancholy in Jasper's gaze as he watched them leave.
Wyatt waved his hand in front of Jasper's face. "What's wrong? Are you planning on punishing that kid? I'll get him for you."
Wyatt was about to leave to capture the boy who bumped into Jasper.
How dare he bump into Jasper? The boy must have a death wish!
"Get back here!" Jasper called out.
Wyatt hurried back and asked cheekily, "What are we having for lunch?" "Nothing. I have no appetite!" Jasper shot him a glare before leaving. Wyatt called out after him, "I'll get you some take-away."
At Hughes Corporation, Edith returned to work after taking three days off.noveldrama
She overheard the employees talking about how Jasper had grabbed a female employee's hand and pulled her out of another man's grasp at the restaurant.
He even claimed that female employees of Hughes Corporation were not allowed to date. It was obvious that he was trying to make things difficult for her.
They deduced that there must be something going on between Jasper and that employee.
Edith called one of them over and asked, "Which employee did Mr. Hughes grab at the restaurant?"
"I think
hame is Willow Nason," I to be at the restaurenet
the employee answered. She
too
belongs to en.kikisto net
so she saw everything.
Willow Nason?
Edith's heart sank.
She didn't expect that Willow and Jasper's relationship would develop so fast in the three days that she was absent.
She couldn't afford to wait any longer.
Edith went to the CEO's office to see Jasper reviewing documents in his seat.
She paused and took a deep breath. She decided that today was the day she would come clean to Jasper.
She would tell him that she had loved him for ten years now.
