56. He Had Unknowingly Put Such a Woman in His Heart Initially, Alex thought he was only interested in Jessie's body.
Even if he knew that she was the mother of the children and the woman with such a deep relationship with him, he still thought that it was just that while he was interested in her, there was an additional layer of reason to take her as his own.
However, at this moment, he didn’t expect that his own daughter would treat her lightly. He actually minded it very much.
It was as if, in an invisible way, the importance of this woman in his heart was even higher than his own daughter and son...
This realization stunned him for a moment.
While he was in a daze, Jessie glared at him angrily because of him scolding Fia, “I made her vomit. The medicine is too bitter. If you don’t know anything, then don’t scold her!” Seeing the angry look on the little woman's face, Alex was speechless. He helped her vent her anger, but she shouted at him? She simply did not know what was good for her! He actually unknowingly put such a woman in his heart! Fia also reacted to what she had done wrong. She took a tissue to wipe Jessie’s hands and obediently apologized, “Sorry Aunt Jeje, | did wrong.” Jessie also gradually calmed down. She seemed to be pampering this child more and more.
Only biological mothers would treat their biological daughters like this, right? But just now, she really could not help it.
She was getting more and more confused. Why would she treat Felix and Fia like this...
“Then this medicine?” The nurse held the medicine and carefully said, “The doctor said that she must take it...” “Let her take it herself!” Alex walked over with a dark expression and took the medicine. If Fia did not eat it, he would force her to drink it.
Jessie immediately could not care about her relationship with the children anymore. She stood up and forcefully took the medicine bottle, “Letfeed it.” The nurse then left.
Alex went to the sofa with a dark expression and sat down. He turned on his laptop and focused on the screen.
He let Jessie busy herself in the ward.
Jessie went to wash her hands and took the clean spoon and chopsticks that were still there when she bought breakfast in the morning. She placed the medicinal pellets in the middle of the spoon and used the chopsticks to carefully crush them. She poured swarm water in and mixed it into a spoonful of medicine. She carefully put it to Fia’s mouth. “Come, Fia. You will be fine after drinking it like this.” Fia obediently opened her mouth and drank it all in one gulp. This time, the medicine was not left behind at all.

It was precisely the strawberry flavor that the little girl liked.
Fia’s small face instantly turned clear as she smiled brightly. “So sweet!” Felix could not bear to see this girl’s appearance. He also went to the other side of the sofa and sat down. He took a book and pretended to read it seriously.
Felix was in low spirits when Jessie handed over a Grapefruit flavored lollipop that had been peeled off in front of him. Further up was Jessie’s gentle smile. “The taste you like.” Felix looked at her in a daze, his bright black eyes blinking.
“Come, open your mouth.” Felix opened his mouth in a daze. Jessie fed the candy to his mouth and rubbed his head.
Her smile was very beautiful. The candy in his mouth was as sweet as Fia had said. Felix felt a s if his heart was suddenly filled with joy.
He closed the book and happily licked the lollipop.
He inadvertently turned his head and then discovered that the screen that his father had been staring at was actually black.
He suddenly felt that his father was the most pitiful person, because not only did Aunt Jeje not feed him lollipops, It was no wonder that his father’s face was so dark. But seeing his father who had always been insufferably arrogant, why was he so happy? His mood was really great! After eating the medicine, Jessie saw Alex staring at the computer and looking very busy.
After hesitating, she opened her mouth and said: “Why don’t you go back to R City first. When Fia’s injuries recover, | will send her back...” Alex closed the computer and made a soft sound.
He looked coldly at Felix who was beside him. Felix’s scalp instantly tightened. He sat up straight and said first, “Aunt Jeje, don’t worry about my studies, but Fia’s studies are not good. I will stay here to tutor her.” Fia glared at him.
This was too detestable. He exposed her shortcomings in order to stay. He was too dishonest! She swore that from now on, she would not speak to Felix anymore! Jessie had seen Felix’s intelligence before. She looked at him and smiled. “Alright, then let dad go back first. I will send the two of you back when the tcomes.” Alex stood up and stared at Jessie for a few seconds. He picked up the computer and walked out of the ward with his long legs.
Felix kindly reminded, “Dad, don’t worry. Aunt Jeje will take care of us!” Fia also bechappy and silently clapped her hands. “Have a safe journey, Dad!” Alex turned around and glared at the two little ones who did not have any conscience. His cold gaze finally landed on Jessie's face.
Under his cold gaze, Jessie’s smile froze, but she still continued to smile and waved at him.” Then take care!” It was fine if she did not speak, but once she said it, he was even more annoyed. He flung the door with a bang.
The three people in the ward were shocked at the stime. Then, they let out a breath together and laughed again.
When Alex heard the laughter inside, he was angry, but at the stime, his sexy thin lips curved into a beautiful arc.
Around eleven o'clock, Jouvita brought lunch over.
When he heard Jouvita’s voice at the door, Felix immediately ran over to open the door obediently. “Grandma, Dad? Why are you still here?” Jessie and Fia, who were having fun guessing puzzles, also turned their heads at the stime.
Coming in with Jouvita, who could it be other than Alex, who was carrying a lunchbox bag in his hand? They all thought that he went back to R City...
When Jessie looked at him, his deep gaze also happened to be looking at her.
Their eyes met and Jessie's heart could not help but beat wildly.
He was still here and it made her feel even more pressure.
She did not know what he was thinking in his heart. Why was he still here? She did not dare to think deeper, but she could not help it. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
She felt as if she had returned to that ambiguous state with him.
This kind of ambiguous feeling made her feel like she couldn't breathe.
“Why are you in a daze? Why aren’t you coming over to prepare the table?” The man’s deep and magnetic voice penetrated her confused mind.
She turned her head and saw that Alex had unknowingly walked in and was standing behind her.
In the light outside the window, his tall figure cast a faint shadow on her body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe could even feel his deep gaze on her face. When she realized that he seemed to be coming closer, she quickly got off the bed and went to pull the table over. She took the food bag from his hand, lowered her head, and took out the food inside.
A pair of chopsticks fell to the ground when it was taken out and Jessie picked it up to wash i After washing it, she turned around and saw Jouvita walking in.
“Why didn’t you tellthat Alex is a single parent?” Jessie's heart was slightly in a mess as she replied, “I don’t know ....."” “At that time, | really thought you were just getting along with the two children and did not think much about it.
You calledyesterday and said that you were going to the city to pick up the children. | was very surprised.
How did they know about our place?” “They only found out after asking Sally.” Jouvita stared at her and lowered her voice,” Tellthe truth. What is the relationship between you and Fia’s father?” Jessie's head hurt, “Mom, | have nothing to do with him.” “Then why did they call the way here? Why did he buy so many things forand your grandparents for no reason?” When Jouvita returned from the hospital yesterday, she was shocked when she saw the good stuff in the house.
When Alex cback in the morning, he helped bring lunch to the hospital. She asked about those things. Alex was a calm person. He only said that the two children cto disturb him, and it was just a small token of appreciation.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, this token of appreciation was too expensive and too heavy.
Jessie paused, “I only met them after Mike and | divorced.” Only then did Jouvita let out a light breath, “If that’s the case, then | won't ask anything. Although he had two children, | saw that he was not bad and was more composed than Mike. What was even more rare was that the two children treated you like their own mother...” The more Jessie heard, the more anxious she became. She hurriedly interrupted her, “Mom, you think too much.
Really.” “Mom is crazy and has a bad brain. But there are sthings that | can still tell how old you are. Could it be that you're not looking for anyone after leaving Mike ? Mom has always been alone because of this illness, but | still have your grandparents with me. When your grandfather and grandmother are no longer around, and | go crazy again, What are you going t o do by yourself?” Jessie felt sad when she heard this, but there were sthings that could not be fulfilled.
She was silent for a while before saying, “Mom, do you know about the Mumen Group?” Jouvita was so angry that she clenched her fist and lightly hit her. “Mom is talking about proper business with you, why did you change the topic?” “Alex is president of Mumen Group.” When Jessie finished speaking, Jouvita was completely dumbfounded.
The Mumen Group's businesses were all over the country. There were real estate companies, large-scale shopping squares, hotels, and so on in Hai City. Grandpa liked to watch sfinancial news. He often mentioned that Alex was one of the most influential people in the business world. As tpassed, Jouvita, who had stayed at hfor a long time, also knew about this person.
It was just that Alex's nonly show in the media and did not show his face. There were not many ordinary people who knew his real face.
When they heard Alex's nyesterday, Jessie's family members were stunned, but none of the three old men had thought about it.
Who would have thought that such a great figure would suddenly appear in a humble family like theirs? A high and mighty sect like the Laurent family. How could a family like theirs be able to get close to them? Jouvita’s shoulders collapsed all of a sudden, and she could not help but let out a long sigh.
Jessie forced a smile, “Go and eat. When Fia recovers, they will go back.” Jouvita looked outside and then looked at Jessie. Her tone was pained, “Why is he that Alex? Such a good person, but...”
