37. I'll Leave All These Things in the Family to You from Now on Jessie hugged herself with her arms. The neon lights that flew past the window bec blurry.
She remembered that Mike had not entered the entertainment industry at that time. The first the held her hand, his face had been red all day. Jessie even teased him for a long tbecause of this.
After graduating from high school, the two of them went to Southern Island without telling their family.
At midnight, because of water and soil, Jessie’s fever did not subside. Mike carried her to the hospital.
At that time, Southern Island was raining heavily and they could not get a car. He used his rainproof jacket to cover her tightly. He carried her to the hospital a few miles away under the rain.
Her fever gradually subsided, but he was drenched to the point of catching a cold. He hugged her and said, “We are true love, and we are sick at the stime.” His words tied her to a lifeless grave for five years.
In these five years, they had been in a foreign land for a long time. How could Jessie not feel that Mike was cheating on her? It was just that the memories he had given her were too deep and beautiful, so much so that she had personally covered her eyes and tried her best to maintain this marriage.
Until she personally turned herself into an ugly joke.
This marriage, his name, were all the things that she hated the most and was most unwillingt o mention for the rest of her life.
When Alex suddenly mentioned him, she was extremely angry and embarrassed. It was as if her chest was entangled with layers of pain.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital, Jessie gradually calmed down. She laughed at herself and said, “You are right. Mike is a scum. I'm really stupid. A person likewho is not smart and naturally slow should not appear in front of a smart and wise person like you and make you angry.” She took out her wallet from her pocket, took out a card, and put it on the front desk of the car. “You're the one who paid for my mother’s hospital fees. This is for you. The password is six 1.” Alex stared at her and suddenly smiled.
He had lived for more than 30 years, and this was the first the had received a bank card from someone else! Jessie got off the car, and his wrist was once again caught by him.
She could not help but angrily say, “What exactly do you want?” “Don’t you know what | want to do?” He couldn't help but get angry as well.
Her eyes turned red. “l.don’t know, and | don’t want to know!” “What don’t you want to know?” His eyes were too hot and deep. Jessie's heart suddenly jumped. From her face to her neck, it was extremely hot.
“Answer!” From tto time, there were people looking over from the hospital entrance. Jessie's heart was in a panic.
w She bit her lips tightly and let go, “I said before, | only want to live a quiet life alone.” “Then why did you take the initiative to callin the middle of the night?” She had already explained that she had called the wrong number, but he didn’t believe her.
“That's right, you explained tothat you like children. What about others? Everyone knows that I'm a single father. What do you think they'll think if you keep appearing in front of us?” Jessie felt that his words made her panic very easily. She forced herself to calm down, “I will b e careful in the future.” Alex frowned and did not say anything else.
Jessie opened the car door and got out of the car.
“My parents foundmany blind dates. The one you just met was also the same. I'm not interested in them.
I've only had sex with you before. We still...” He did not continue speaking. He picked up a cigarette and put it on his lips. He picked up the lighter and wanted to light it, but he took the cigarette and threw it outside the car, Jessie did not expect him to patiently explain to her. She could not help but turn her head. Alex leaned over and grabbed one of her hands. He stuffed the card back into her palm. “I will not take your money. | want you to owethis debt.” Jessie held the bank card and was stunned.
Alex kissed her again.
This tit was different. He was as gentle as a gentle breeze and drizzle.
Jessie's mind was blank from his kiss and she forgot to resist. She even had sstrange and vague expectations...
After the kiss, he let go of her and his long fingers awkwardly pulled a few strands of her messy hair to the back of her ears. His eyes were deep and gloomy. “In the future, if you have anything you want to know about me, just askdirectly. Don’t just hold it in and think blindly in your heart!” Before entering the elevator, Jessie could not help but turn her head and saw that the eye catching black car was still parked at the entrance of the hospital. She could vaguely see a bit of scarlet red light from the front window of the car.
Her heart was beating very fast. Her legs felt like they were stepping on cotton, and her whole body felt very weak.
That kiss just now made her feel that it was absurd and somewhat afraid. She did not know whether it was right or wrong for her to do this...
Jessie was still unable to let go of the intimate kiss with Alex. She was worried that it would b e more dangerous if this continued. While she was wondering if she should clear her relationship with him, she received a call from Fia’s teacher.
She had just gotten off work and was on the way to the hospital.
wa She estimated that she had held it in for a long time. Jessie had just picked up the call. But the teacher could not help but complain, “Miss Jessie, half of the semester has passed. Fia’s books were still the sas the new ones and did not have any notes. | arranged homework ten times and she did not do it. The only tshe did it was to copy from other classmates. It was better for her to copy homework than not writing a single word. The key was that she could copy wrong. | don’t know how you all view children’s studies. Although teaching is the teacher's responsibility, the parents have to bear the responsibility of accompanying and supervising them. She is still young. But this is the most important stage. How can you let her learn like this?” Jessie was stunned by the scolding. She had forgotten that this kind of problem was actually t o find the child's family. She took the initiative to admit her mistake and apologize, “I'm sorry, teacher. Don’t worry. | will definitely convey your words to the child's father and let him help the child learn properly.” “Miss Jessie, as parents, it is best that you do not shirk responsibility from each other. When i t is tto solve it, it must be solved. You are now pushing it to her father and her father will push it to you. In the end, the child's problem is still unsolved.” Jessie was speechless.
Actually, she really did not push the responsibility... “I left Fia in the classroom today. Cand pick her up.” Sloc Jessie said a lot of things to the teacher to admit her mistakes. After hanging up the phone, she prepared to call Alex Felix and Fia had told her more than once that he was busy. He basically left the child's matters to the maid and nanny. Moreover, the kindergarten teacher called her. It must be Fia who gave the teacher's number. She definitely did not want her family to know about this.
Thinking about this, Jessie called Rick When Rick heard about this matter, he said with a troubled tone, “Sorry, Miss ]Jessie. Boss Alex toldthat if Young Master Felix and Young Miss Fia are left in the classroom, no one i s allowed to pick them up. He said he wanted the children to understand that they have to bear the responsibility for what they did wrong...” Jessie finally understood why Fia left her number to the teacher.
When she rushed to the kindergarten, there was only one teacher and two students in the classroom. The two students were Felix and Fia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSI00 Felix was waiting for Fia.
When the teacher saw Jessie, he took Fia’s homework and showed it to her.
There was another one that belonged to Felix.
The teacher pointed at the two homework, “Miss Jessie, take a look at these two homework.” Felix’s answers were all correct, and Fia’s answer was only one wrong.
How many chickens were there in one chicken and seven chickens? Fia’s formula was correct. One plus seven, but the result was three.
Jessie squatted down and gently asked Fia, “How can one plus seven be equal to three?” Fia leaned close to Jessie's ear, “I only saw half of Felix’s answer. The correct answer is eight.” Jessie was speechless.
Felix was speechless, “Fia, you are too stupid!” “I told you to bring the book to my side, but you did not listen. Of course, | could only see half o f the answer!” Fia muttered.
The teacher angrily said, “Fia, it’s not right for you to copy homework!” Jessie quickly consoled, “Sorry, | will bring them back and educate them properly. Teacher, don’t be angry. It will hurt your body.” After picking up the two children, Jessie put on a serious face and said, “Fia, why don’t you d o your homework properly?” Fia’s small face fell, ‘I don't like it. | don’t like going to school and also don’t like to do homework.” “How can you not like to study?” “No one cares aboutanyway.” “Why wouldn't anyone care about you? Doesn't your father care about you?” Fia kicked the pebble under her feet. “He’s busy. He never checks our homework and never takes part in parent- child parent-teacher meetings. He's absent every time. The teacher doesn’t like us anymore.” Jessie could not say anything to reprimand her. Her heart ached a little. She was angry that Alex did not care about the child. She could not help but take out her phone and call him.
Alex had just heard Rick talk about the child staying in the classroom. He also said that Jessie had called him.
He was just about to call her when she called him.
He was in a good mood when he answered the phone. “You went to pick up the child?” “You know that the child was left in the classroom?” Jessie asked back.
“Rick told me.” Jessie heard his calm tone and beceven angrier. “Don’t you know that the children will b e very hurt like this? You didn’t attend the parent-teacher and parent-child meetings at the school. You didn’t even have an hour to attend? If you don’t come, the children will be very sad to see their families accompanying others!” When she was young, she didn’t have a father. Her mother was sick, and her grandparents were old. Therefore, she watched other people's family interact with each other enviously at the parent-child meeting. At this moment, she was empathizing with the children and facing Alex. She couldn't help but release all of her emotions at once.
Alex listened to her continuous questioning of grievance and anger and knew that Fia must have deliberately discredited him again. He did not explain the truth that he specially sent people to the kindergarten every time.
Instead, he admitted that she pointed out the mistakes. “It was indeed my negligence. But in the future, similar things will not happen again, with you around. They don’t have to envy others anymore.” “What do you mean?” What did this have to do with her? “Ill leave the family matters to you in the future.” Jessie was a little confused when she heard this.
His voice was even lower. “I will not let you manage everything alone. | will also take s tto help you manage it.”
