The Baby’s Mother Need Love

Chapter 123

123. 123. I will Never Call You Uncle in My Life

Alex took out a cigarette box and a lighter from his pocket. He flicked half of the cigarette box with his long fingers and handed it to Shawn. “Brother-in-law, you want one too?”

Shawn was eager to know his answer. He was not in the mood to smoke at all. He shook his head.

Alex took it back and lit one himself. He spat out a green and white smoke ring. “I have my mother to worry about, so you don’t have to worry about me.”

Shawn had said so much, but his brother-in-law had seen through him. He was getting more and

more anxious.

To be honest, he really didn’t care about Alex’s matter, and it wasn’t his place as a sinner of Laurent family to worry about him.

However, the person he was looking for was Jessie, and Shawn had let them down. No matter what, he couldn’t blame Jessie for what he had done to the Laurent family.

He continued to probe, “Alex, your company is close to Jessie’s shop. I think you must have some connections. I hope you can help me. I asked Jessie to consider my proposal. Just like Fifi, Jessie should call you uncle. She can hear a lot of your words. I already owe the Laurent family too much. I won’t let my daughter owe the Laurent family anymore.”

“Uncle?” Alex slightly pulled his lips, “Brother-in-law, You just said that Jessie’s mother jumped into the sea because of you. Jessie was lucky enough to survive because of her mother’s friend. I a m someone who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. This kind of thing must be done to m e. I will definitely not forgive you. I admit that I understand Jessie. Her thoughts are probably the

same as mine.”

He quietly stared at Shawn’s trembling face and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray on the corner of his table. “Brother-in-law, you understand me. I speak crudely. It’s fine as long as you understand.”

Shawn’s lips were pale and his tone was weak. “Yes, I understand. You are right. I owe Jessie too much…”

Alex leaned against the back of the chair and said, “Jessie will never call me uncle. She can only call me hubby.”

Back then, Amanda called Shawn hubby.

She called him in a very high profile manner. Everyone who knew them.

Given Alex’s temper, he could tell what had happened between him and Jessie when he heard that Shawn had let Jessie and her daughter down. This made Shawn even more terrified.

However, he had to protect Jessie and not let her suffer any criticism. That was why he didn’t tell him more thoroughly.

“Alex, how dare you say such outrageous things? Do you know how the public opinion would Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

attack Jessie if you were together? Have you thought about this?” Shawn’s face was shocked and his eyes narrowed. He couldn’t help but scold,

Alex’s handsome face also turned cold. “I will protect my woman!”

His meaning was far more embarrassing than what he had said just now.

He seemed to be indirectly mocking Shawn. He was a man, but he could not protect the two women who treated him sincerely,

At this point, Shawn did not have the face to stay any longer. He got up and said goodbye.

Alex did not stay

When he returned to the room, Jessie was already sleeping on the sofa.

Alex sat down on the coffee table opposite her, his dark eyes focused on her sleeping face.

Her mother brought a child less than a year old and jumped into the sea…

These words once again appeared in his ears, and his expression became deeper and deeper.

Jessie slightly turned her body and a strand of long hair slid down her neck.

It should be a little itchy and her delicate brows slightly wrinkled.

Alex reached out his hand and gently brushed away the strand of hair. He then used his thumb to gently stroke the creases between her brows. It was as if this could wipe away all the pain and sadness that she had suffered when she was a child.

When Jessie woke up, Alex was no longer there.

His suit was still covering her body.

Liang told her that Boss Alex only wore a shirt and went to his company.

Jessie looked at the time. It was already past three o’clock in the afternoon.

Unknowingly, she had slept for so long.

She originally wanted to go back and accompany the children…

She took the heavy suit jacket and called Alex.

He answered almost immediately.

“Your suit is still with me. It will be cold when we go out at night. I will put it at security guard’s place in your company.”

“You are awake? The company has a spare suit.” Alex’s voice was unusually gentle.

Jessie heard it until her ears started to heat up. “En, alright then. I have nothing to do here. I will return to Mountain and River Residence first.”

“I will get the driver to send you.”

“No need.”

“Don’t you still want to go back to Tianji Residence to get a bank proposal?”

Only then did Jessie agree. Not long after, Driver Bart drove over to pick her up.

Alex suddenly became so considerate and gentle, unlike his usual self. Although Jessie was surprised, her heart was still sweet.

When they were about to reach Mountain and River Residence, Jessie’s phone rang.

It was Shawn.

Jessie did not want to see him and did not want to answer his call.

Jouvita hated him. Although she did not say why she hated him, Jessie guessed that it was probably a precedent for a man like Mike. He hooked up with Eldest Miss from Laurent family and abandoned his wife, forcing Jouvita to take her along and jump into the sea.

She was not even one year old, so she had no impression of him.

However, Jouvita would never forget that kind of pain and hatred for the rest of her life.

Now that Shawn came to confess, Jessie thought that perhaps it was because young miss form Laurent family did not have good fortune and he was old for nothing. He had some free time, so he thought of his ex-wife and ex-wife’s daughter. Jessie did not care about such a worthless confession

Shawn’s call made Jessie’s good mood disappear when she was talking to Alex.

He was like a thorn in between the two of them.

As long as she thought of Shawn, Jessie had no choice but to think of the relationship between him and the Laurent family. She had no choice but to think of the relationship between her and Alex which couldn’t be accepted by the secular world.

After passing by a large commercial building, the festive Santa, the lights, and snowflakes attracted Jessie’s attention.

She thought of the toys Yosie bought for the children this morning.

Jessie’s heart moved slightly and let Driver Bart pull over. This place was not too far away from Mountain and River Residence. She got off the car and let Driver Bart bring her luggage back to Mountain and River Residence first. She entered the commercial building by herself.

There was a counter in the commercial building that specialized in selling Christmas tree and Christmas items. Countless festive and beautiful Christmas trees made people feel good.

“How big do you prefer?” The salesperson greeted her warmly.

It was Jessie’s first time choosing this and she did not know how to choose.

“How many sizes are there in this?” Jessie chose a tree filled with white snowflakes.

“How big is your house? Usually, the size of the house is about 80 square meters.”

If she were to buy it based on the size of the house, she definitely wouldn’t be able to carry back

the Christmas tree bought in a place like Mountain and River Residence by herself.

The shopping guide was like a smart person. From Jessie’s expression, he seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. He attentively said, “We can deliver large sized ones to the door.”

Jessie was relieved, “Then give me the largest size.”

Seeing that she had booked the largest Christmas tree in one go and that she was wearing a brand new diamond ring, the salesperson became even more enthusiastic and tried to strike up a conversation with her. “You’re a newlywed, right? We have a lot of Christmas gifts that can be given to your boyfriend or hubby. Oh, do you want to choose?”

Jessie was pleased by the word ‘hubby’ that she said and her face turned slightly red. “Okay.”

It was not a special gift. Couple watches, couples’ outfits, couples’ rings, etc. were just dipped in the word couple, and then they were placed in the popular sales window with the names of all kinds of festivals.

Jessie was in the midst of a passionate love affair, and she was very happy to see these things.

She wanted to buy it but was worried that Alex would not like it.

After hesitating for a while, she impulsively ran to the jewelry counter and picked a platinum ring for him. Although it did not have diamonds, the design was very similar to the one he gave her. Together, they could be considered a couple ring.

Moreover, it was platinum, so it shouldn’t be disliked by him.

She bought a lot of things in one go, and the barrier that Shawn brought earlier also gradually dissipated.

Jessie took the delivery van from the shopping mall back to Mountain and River Residence.

While commanding the Deliveryman to move the huge Christmas tree inside, Felix was quietly

placing the electric replicas that he bought while traveling in the United States into Yosie’s room.

When Housekeeper and Nanny Chen saw Jessie buy the Christmas tree back, they both ran out to help with the decorations.

The huge Christmas tree was placed by the window of the living room. Colorful bells, lamps, and snowflakes hung on it. It looked very festive.

Housekeeper and Nanny Chen could not help but sigh. “Why else would there be a mistress at home? It would be much more interesting to have a festival like this.”

Jessie’s face turned red from their words. She turned around to look for Felix and Fia, wanting them to come over and give them a surprise.

Her surprise had yet to be known by the two little fellows.

A sharp scream suddenly rang out in the villa, but it frightened the big guy.

The group of people quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

Turning around the corridor, they saw Yosie running towards them with a pale face and

disheveled hair.

‘What’s wrong?” Jessie was shocked. The Yosie that she saw in the morning was still in a state of peace and quiet. It had only been half a day but why did this lass tum herself into such a ghastly appearance?

When Yosie saw them, she tried her best to calm down but her body was still trembling, “Snake! What a huge snake!”

“Snake?” Housekeeper frowned. “How can there be a snake in this winter? Besides, it was impossible for a snake to appear in Mountain and River Residence.”

Nanny Chen also joined in and asked, “Miss Yosie, could it be that you have seen wrongly? During lunch, you said you ate a cockroach, but we still couldn’t find it even after searching for a long time?”

Yosie forced herself to calm down but her face was still pale. “Sorry, I startled everyone. But that snake is real. It was in the room I was in just now.”

The more Jessie heard the more she felt that something was wrong. She walked towards the room Yosie was in just now.

The huge room was empty. Not to mention the snake, there was not even a single rope.

Felix walked out from the room beside and blinked his big bright eyes in confusion. “What’s wrong?”

Jessie quickly ran over and squatted down to grab his little shoulder. “Yosie said there was a snake in the room. Did it run over to your side?”

Yosie did not look like she was a bad girl and she had no reason to do so.

Jessie had previously seen Winter Snake who was scared awake in Nanchuan and was only worried that Felix would also be scared by the snake.

Felix shook his head. “No.”

He raised his innocent face and looked at Yosie. “Yosie, what happened to you? One moment, he said that there were cockroaches in our house, and another time, she said there were snakes. My dad hated

people who deliberately stirred up trouble to scare children. If he knew, he would definitely lose his temper again.”
