17. A Person Who Doesn’t know His Own Limits
Jessie saw there were no adults beside them and quickly ran over. She bent down and pulled the hands of the two little guys. “Felix, Fia, did you two come by yourselves? Didn’t Uncle Rick come with you in the morning?”
Felix looked at the hands that she was holding and his little face turned red again. He stared blankly at the hands that were holding each other’s hands.
Fia smiled sweetly, “Aunt Jeje, we took a taxi here by ourselves.”
As she spoke, she turned around and pointed at the taxi that was not far away, “Look, it’s that car.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“You took a taxi here yourself?!” Jessie was shocked. “Did you tell your family?”
If such a young child ran out by himself, would their family not be worried?
“I didn’t say. My brother and I secretly ran out. Because the dinner at home is not good, I want to eat the cake in the morning. Aunt Jeje, can you help me buy it?” The little girl’s tender hand grabbed Jessie’s clothes and lifted her eyes that were as beautiful as stars and blinked.
They actually secretly ran out. Jessie was frightened when she heard this. Fortunately, they were fine. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable,
She hurriedly called the two of them to sit at a table. “You guys call your family first. I will go and get some food for you guys.”
Sally carried the bag on her back and came over to her with a smile. “Secretly ran over to find you? Darling, this is true love. You have to treat them well. My mom called me, so I won’t accompany you back first.”
“You won’t accompany me?”
“Isn’t there two little angels accompanying you? I’m leaving. Bye, little babies!” Sally smiled and rubbed the two pretty little babies’ heads. I’m off work and I’m leaving.
Jessie took out her phone. “Felix, please tell me your mother’s number.”
The two little fellows lowered their little heads at the same time.
Jessie sat down on the chair opposite them. “What’s wrong? You don’t remember?”
“We don’t have a mother.” Fia’s big eyes were filled with tears.
Hearing her say this, Jessie’s heart suddenly hurt and her voice became softer, “Sorry, Auntie doesn’t know…”
She did not have a father since she was young and knew about the sadness and grievance of missing a father, so she pitied the two little fellows even more.
“It’s alright, we haven’t had a mother since we were born. Auntie, you don’t have to apologize. Felix’s small face was calm.
Jessie smiled and quickly changed the topic. “I’ll go and get food for you!”
Jessie brought a few flavors of cake and milk over and helped the two little fellows put a napkin on their necks to let them eat.
She remembered that there was a number for the children’s fathers on the phone and asked for Felix’s opinion. She dialed the number and handed the phone to Felix
Alex was currently attending a banquet in Political World
He looked at the number and frowned
He pressed the reject button
A few seconds after he pressed Reject, the other party called again.
That night, she took the initiative to knock on the door of his room. She tried to get close to Felix and Fia and pretended to be drunk on the phone. This time, she kept pestering him. This woman was really full of tricks!
Did she also use these lowly tricks to deceive Mike on her previous mariage?
So after Mike saw through her true colors, he divorced her?
This kind of scheming woman was indeed not likable!
And he actually helped her in the hotel He was really out of his mind.
Could it be that because he helped her get a house from Mike, she immediately saw the signs and immediately stopped pestering her ex-husband and turned to pounce on Alex instead?
A person who overestimates his own abilities!
In the coffee shop, Felix handed the phone back to her and honestly replied, “My dad won’t answer.”
Jessie thought that he did not hear it and took the phone to call again. The other party still did not answer. Jessie waited until her heart was anxious, “Why didn’t he answer the phone?”
Felix drank milk as he calmly explained, “Auntie, you don’t need to call. My dad is very busy and often does not answer my calls.”
“Is that so?” Jessie thought for a moment and pressed the call button. She sent a message over. “Hello, is this Felix’s father? Felix and Fia are currently at the Louisdin coffee shop. Please call me when you receive the message!”
At the cocktail party, when Alex was about to directly put her phone number on the blacklist like how he treated countless women who were rushing to pounce on him, a message popped up.
After reading it, his handsome face suddenly became cold and gloomy.
“What’s wrong? Rick noticed it and thought that there was something urgent in the company.
Alex put the glass in his hand “Tell Councilman Chen that I have something to take care of at home.”
Rick wanted to ask more questions, but Alex’s tall figure had already left the reception hall.
Rick could not help but feel even more nervous
What exactly was going on? In the past, it was his family who called to say that Felix and Fia had disappeared. He had never seen boss in such a panic before.
At the Louisdin coffee shop
Jessie had been accompanying the two little fellows. They had almost finished eating, but they still did not get a reply from their father.
Jessie asked them if they still remembered the phone numbers of the other family members and the two little fellows shook their heads at the same time.
Jessie was struggling whether to call a taxi to send them back or to continue waiting for their father’s call.
She was also worried that their father was still busy with work and did not go home. If there was no one at home to send them back, she could not always stay at the other family’s house and accompany them.
When the child’s father came back, she did not know how to explain.
