Chapter 524 Never Let Her Down in This Lifetime
Early the next day.
After Aletta finished breakfast with her grandparents and the four children, they suddenly heard some commotion
outside the door.
Lyla quickly ran to the French window, pulled back the
curtains, and exclaimed, “Wow, there are so many cars parked outside!”
These cars belonged to the Hills, all neatly lined up at the entrance.
Soon, several black-clad bodyguards got out of the cars, with Jason among them.
Seeing this, Lyla immediately rushed to open the door and exclaimed, “Mommy, Daddy is here!”
Today, Jason was dressed in a well-fitted dark suit, looking exceptionally formal. He even wore a tie, appearing
composed and dignified. Every move he made exuded an aura of nobility and charm. He was incredibly handsome!
He emitted the allure of a mature man, giving a sense of security just by looking at him.
After he got out of the car, Eaton instructed the bodyguards to start moving things inside the house.
Aletta, with the four children, instinctively made way at the entrance.
Watching this scene, she couldn’t help but be surprised and asked, “Are you moving in?”
At that moment, Jason also walked over.
He chuckled and explained clearly, “No, these are betrothal gifts.”
“???”
All these big and small boxes were betrothal gifts?
Isn’t this… too much?
Aletta was completely stunned, unable to utter a word.
Old Mr. Hill also came down from the car, seeing her expression, he smiled and said, “Girl, is it necessary to be so
surprised? I think it’s still not enough!”
Aletta glanced at the crowded living room, which had become a bit cluttered in such a short time, and couldn’t help
but laugh, “Still not enough?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMr. Rogers and his wife arrived after hearing the news.
Seeing the scene, the old gentleman exclaimed, “These are all good things!”
“Yes!”
Old Mr. Hill replied with a smile, “Of course, the things given to my daughter-in-law must be good!”
While speaking, the items were quickly moved inside, and both parties took a seat in the house.
Old Mr. Hill took a sip of tea, as if brewing something.
Then, he looked serious, with a slightly solemn tone, and said, “After so many years, sitting down again to discuss
the marriage, I feel a bit ashamed. Back then, I personally promised both of you that I would treat Aletta well, but in
the end… I didn’t live up to it. She suffered so much, and I’m truly sorry!”
Upon hearing this, before the elderly couple could speak, Jason spoke sincerely, “It was my fault back then. I
treated Aletta poorly.”
Old Mr. Hill immediately echoed, “Yes, this kid was indeed unreliable.”
“But, the Hills also have their share of responsibility… However, this young couple has reconciled against all odds.
It’s not easy, so, with a humble face. I’ve come to propose again, hoping that both of you would agree to this
marriage.”
After hearing this, the elderly couple, the Rogers Family, exchanged glances and instantly understood their
intentions.
Past matters were not brought up again, but the attitude in seeking their approval was indeed commendable!
With a smile on Mr. Rogers’ face, he spoke first, “We definitely agree to the marriage. Jason is an outstanding young
man, and we can see the current situation between him and Aletta. We know that he genuinely cares for her… We
don’t have many concerns.”
The old lady nodded in agreement.
However, she had more concerns. “I have a few things to say to Jason,” she said, grabbing her granddaughter’s
hand and affectionately patting it. She spoke gently to him, “Once your two settle down, make sure to take good
care of our little girl. She has suffered since she was young, and after being. recognized as part of the Rogers
Family, she has endured so much. The Rogers Family owes her an apology too! Now that we, the two old folks, are
getting older and have fewer desires, we just hope that she will have a peaceful and happy future, filled with well-
being. So, after you two get married, you must not let her down again!”
Jason heard these words and couldn’t help but look at Aletta, and earnestly said, “I will, absolutely! Never again will
I let her down!” In this lifetime, he would never disappoint her again!
The old lady nodded with reassurance, reluctantly letting go of Aletta’s hand and handing it over to Jason. Sensing
his firm. grip. Aletta smiled and looked into his eyes. In their gaze, there was nothing but deep affection for each
other. The elders watched this scene of deep love and felt content.
At this moment, the four children spoke up, saying, “Grandpa and Grandma, rest assured! If Dad mistreats Mom,
we won’t allow it.”
“Yeah, if Dad makes Mom angry, we’ll make him kneel and wash clothes on the washboard!”
Old Mr. Hill was the first to stand up and enthusiastically agreed, “That’s right! We’ll count on you to keep an eye on
him!”

“No problem!” The four kids patted their chests and promised with adorable earnestness.
With the matter settled, Old Mr. Hill took the opportunity to mention, “I’ve invited Jay and his wife to have dinner
together tonight.”
The two old folks of the Rogers Family glanced at each other. Although they didn’t particularly want to see Jenny,
the Hills had already made the suggestion, so they didn’t want to make things difficult either.
Mr. Rogers nodded and said, “Alright, you can make the arrangements.”
Seeing that everything went so smoothly, Old Mr. Hill was in a great mood. “Let Jason handle it. I don’t have much
to do today. It’s been a while since we played chess together. How about a couple of games?”
“Sure!” The two old gentlemen became enthusiastic when it came to playing chess and eagerly set up the
chessboard.
As Old Mr. Hill made his moves, he urged Jason, “You don’t have anything to do here. Go back to the company and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmake more money for your family!”
Jason looked at his grandfather’s urging attitude and responded somewhat helplessly, “Alright.” Even without Old
Mr. Hill’s reminder, he was already planning to return to the company. Tomorrow, he would accompany Aletta on
their trip abroad, so he needed to take care of his current tasks.
After Aletta finished brewing tea for the two old gentlemen, she got up together with Jason and said, “Let me go
with you.
There are some data adjustments that need to be made in the R&D department. It’s best to resolve them today, so
we can have peace of mind tomorrow.””
“Okay,” Jason agreed.
The two of them then left together. Jason went to his office at Hill Group, while Aletta headed to the R&D
department. Everything was going smoothly.
However, in the afternoon, Eaton received a phone call. The caller was Robin. Urgent and anxious, his voice rushed
through the line, “Eaton, I have an emergency to inform you… Here’s the situation. A few days ago, after I brought
my daughter back, I arranged for her to receive treatment, including seeing a psychologist. Initially, she seemed
fine, but today, she managed to sneak away… I don’t know if she went back to Los Angeles again, so I wanted to
ask Eaton or Mr. Hill to let me know if you come across her… Please don’t hurt her.”
Upon hearing this, Eaton furrowed his brow and couldn’t help but say, “Can’t you even keep an injured person
under control?” The memory of Joe’s unreasonable behavior was giving him a headache.
Robin also had his grievances, “I’ve arranged for people to watch her as much as possible. I even assigned several
bodyguards to her residence, but I never expected her to find a way to escape…”
After listening to his words, Eaton felt deeply speechless. After hanging up the phone, he realized that he needed to
inform their master about this matter. He turned around and went to find Jason to report.
Jason’s previously good mood started to fade upon hearing the news, and his face grew serious. He instructed
Eaton,
“Keep an eye on her and don’t let her get near Hill Group. Alette and I are doing well now, and I don’t want any
disturbances.”
Eaton nodded in agreement.
