Chapter 17 Bedroom (2)
“All right, that''s because I feel bad about it. Since you don''t want it, then there''s no extra.”
“Wait. Extra is always better than none. No one would reject earning more money, right?” Johnny said
that with a bashful smile, looking like an idiot.
Jasmine couldn''t stand it whenever Johnny acted like a gold grubber. She just said, “All right, I''ve told
you before that money is not a problem. As long as you do it well, I''ll treat you properly. Keep him
Johnny nodded.
“Dad, I''ve washed my face. Let''s go out and y!” Samuel dashed out after washing his face and
grabbed Johnny''s hand.
“Where are you going to y when it''s sote now? Look at the time. It''s almost 8 o''clock. Did you
forget? You should go to bed when it''s 8 o''clock.” Jasmine spoke sternly.
“No, no, I want to go out and y! I want to go out and y with dad, just for a moment, okay?”
“No!”
“I... I''ll take him out and y for a while. It''s Friday, he doesn''t need to go to school tomorrow so he can
sleep a bitter!” Johnny smiled as he said. He sincerely felt sorry for that boy.
“You don''t understand. The most important thing for a child is to have enough sleep. Sleeping on the
right time is crucial for him.” Jasmine rolled her eyes at Johnny.
“Is that so? You don''t need to take everything so seriously, right? A child is also a person, who has his
own feelings and need. He''s not a machine that can fall sleep or wake up whenever you tell him to.
What''s wrong with giving him an appropriate amount of rxation?” Johnny really disagreed with
Jasmine''s way of educating Sam.
“You don''t need to teach me how to educate my son, alright?” Jasmine was fuming.
“Don''t forget that I''m his dad. Son, I''ve made the decision to bring you out to y tonight. But we''ll just
y for a while and then we''lle home to sleep, okay? What do you want to y?” Johnny was also
stubborn. No one could control him when he''s made up his mind. He then carried Samuel and walked
out the door.
“I want to y with the ball, I''ll take the ball!” Samuelughed as he rushed into the room and took a

small basketball.
“Johnny, please be aware of your status.” Jasmine looked awfully sullen. She gritted her teeth as she
said to Johnny.
“I know my status, but let me remind you. Although scientifically raising a child is the right thing to do,
don''t do everything exactly by the book. It''s best to give him a rxed environment and certain
freedom. If you keep on restraining him with so many rules, do you think he''ll be sessful in the
future? You don''t need to remind me here. If you''re unsatisfied then you can just fire me tomorrow.”
Johnny retorted in a bad mood.
“Dad, here''s the ball.”
“Okay, let''s go, dad will teach you how to y it. We''re not going far. Just y in the yard.” Johnny
carried Samuel again and walked into the yard.
Thus, Johnny yed ball with Samuel in the yard. The two of them yed happily.
Jasmine stood by the window and watched them. Her face was stiff at first and she stared at Johnny
coldly, but slowly, she was fascinated by the sight and started to smile. The scene in the yard was very
harmonious and sweet. It was nothing special but she was quite moved.
“It seems that Mr. Franco likes Sam very much. I think he really likes him and he''s not faking it.”
Hannah walked over and said to Jasmine.
“Yeah, he has a loving heart; otherwise I wouldn''t have chosen him.” Jasmine indifferently replied
quietly.
Johnny didn''t let Samuel y for a very long time, just 40 minutes before he told Samuel to go home
and sleep. He didn''t have a child and he didn''t understand how to raise one, but he just felt that every
child naturally loved to y and there''s no need to restrict a child''s nature. Some things just didn''t need
to be so serious. Of course, he also understood that he was just a fake dad and the child wasn''t his, so
he couldn''t go over the line either. He yed for a while before telling Samuel to stop. No one knew
what''s with that child. He wouldn''t listen to his mom nor Hannah, but he followed almost everything that
Johnny said. Johnny told him to go home and sleep, and he obeyed.
Hannah carried Samuel inside to take a bath because he was all sweaty when they got home.
“He''ll go to bed after taking a bath, and you can just leave after he fell sleep!” Jasmine said that to
Johnny.
“Yeah, okay!” Johnny nodded, he then walked to the window and lighted up a cigarette. He didn''t want
to say too much to the stubborn Jasmine. She always held an condescending attitude which Johnny
couldn''t bear with. For him, women should be tender and mild.
“Sorry, I was being too harsh on you. Please don''t take it to your heart.” Jasmine suddenly blurted out
to Johnny.
Johnny goggled at Jasmine. He couldn''t believe that Jasmine said those words.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Jasmine felt that Johnny''s gaze was so strange.
“Nothing, I just thought that hearing ''sorry'' from your mouth was such a miracle!” Johnnyughed as he
said.
“You!” Jasmine was pissed. She coldly said, “People like you always forget easily who you are when
others treat you well. Take anything you want to eat. There are drinks in the fridge and fruits on the
table. I''m going to shower.”
Jasmine really ignored Johnny after saying that. She just walked inside.
“I was really talking nonsense!” Johnny talked to himself. He didn’t take it too seriously. After he
finished smoking, he took a drink from the fridge, turned the TV on, and started drinking.
He was truly tired when he sat on the sofa and he was very sleepy because he had been working for
the whole day. He hadn''t even sat for long before rushing to Jasmine’s ce. He was not a robot, so
this was definitely tiresome for him.
Right when Johnny almost fell asleep on the sofa, he heard Samuel calling "dad". Johnny turned his
head and saw Jasmine in her sleepwear carrying Samuel and walking to the living room''s door.
Jasmine spoke to Samuel, “All right, say good night to dad. We''re going to sleep.”
Johnny smiled and spoke to Samuel, “Good night, sweet dreams.”
“No, no, dad! Don''t go, don''t go! I want to sleep with you.” Once Samuel heard Jasmine''s words, he
immediately sensed something wrong so he started making a fuss.
Jasmine frowned again as she said, “Dad hasn''t left and he won''t leave.”
“No, I want to sleep with dad, I want to sleep with dad and mom.”
“What?” Jasmine was dumbfounded, and so was Johnny. Sam''s request was really too shocking.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Jasmine''s face slightly blushed as she scolded her own son.
“I''m not talking nonsense. They all said to me that they sleep with their parents, why? Why can''t I sleep
with my parents? No, no, I want to sleep with dad and mom!” When Samuel made a fuss, it was really
eye-popping.
“Okay, all right, dad and mom will sleep with you. We''ll sleep together.” Jasmine couldn''t stand any
longer so she could onlypromise.
“What? That''s a yes?” Johnny opened his eyes widely. He looked at Jasmine in disbelief.
“I don''t even mind, so why do you mind? Come in!” Jasmine fiercely red at Johnny, and then she
carried Sam into her own bedroom.
“Holy shit, w-what is this?” Johnny couldn''t believe this was happening. But he had no other choice
than to follow Jasmine into her bedroom.
