Billionaire’s Reborn Baby Chapter 177
Jaquan scratched his head and said, “Nothing. I’m just asking. Didn’t it rain yesterday? It’s getting cold.
Dad and you should put on more clothes. Be careful to keep warm. Don’t catch a cold.”
Mrs. Cox was surprised. “Why is my son suddenly so sweet? Do you care about your parents now? I
have to tell your father this.”
Jaquan’s father was an old professor who didn’t speak much with his son. He was a nerd who only
liked reading. The father and son usually had few words when they met. Since Jaquan became a
lawyer, he had hardlye back to visit them. However, Mrs. Cox took the trouble to his home two or
three times a week to clean up and cook him a few meals, afraid that he was not able to take good care
of himself.
Jaquan thought of Stony’s earnest face. He suddenly felt that he, as an adult, was inferior to that child.
“Mom, I’m sorry. You and Dad have been worrying about me all these years, while I haven’t ever done
anything for you. When I think about it now, I’m very ashamed…”
Mrs. Cox fell silent.
Jaquan felt embarrassed, scratching his hair and saying, “A friend ising over, and I’ll hang up
now.”
He was wondering why he suddenly got so sentimental. Jaquan wiped his face and forced back the
tears in his eyes.
Arabe arrived half an hourter.
Behind her were two bodyguards carrying precious nourishing food like ginseng, bird’s nest and
ganoderma lucidum, all wrapped in golden packages. There were also quite a few high-end masks and
children’s toys.
The chef was a foreigner in white, following behind them. He carried his cutlery box in one hand and
the ingredients for dinner in the other. As soon as he entered, he went straight to the kitchen to work.
Arabe took her two bodyguards into the guest room with the gifts and put them on the floor. She
asked Emma, who was lying on the bed, with concern, “Sorry, I only found out today that you are
staying here. I should havee to see you earlier. How is your leg?”
Emma sat back on the bed. The room was heated, so she wore only a dark grey thick sweater without
pants under. When she saw Arabe bring the gifts, she was not surprised or excited. Instead, she
pursed her lips and smiled at Arabe. “Thank you, but I might not need those things. I saidst time
that it didn’t take a lot to save you. Don’t thank me again. You’ve already done that.”
Arabe was embarrassed. She had thought that she brought so many gifts and Emma would definitely
ept them. To her surprise, Emma refused to take them. Did she not like them or…?
Jaquan came to rescue Arabe. “Arabe invited a chef over and he will cook us a big dinner. Come
on, let’s go out and wait at the dining table.”
After he spoke, he walked to the bed and stooped to pick up Emma.
These days Collin had been telling him that Emma could not get out of bed and walk. Therefore, unless
he was not home, Jaquan would carry her to the bathroom or the dining table.
Arabe saw him carry Emma without any demur, and she had a strange feeling. However, she forced
a smile and followed them behind.
Emma took a wondering look at Jaquan, who carried her in front of the woman he liked. Was he
careless or was he using her to test Arabe?
Looking at Arabe’s awkward smile, Emma thought that this girl probably liked Jaquan. Since the two
of them had feelings for each other… No matter if Jaquan was using her or not, Emma felt she should
help him. After all, he treated her and Stony fairly well.
They sat down at the dining table. The bodyguard took out a bottle of red wine from behind him and
ced a few goblets on the table, pouring wine for each of them. Stony watched as the red wine was
being poured into his goblet. He looked at Emma, who nodded to beckon him to have a taste without
drinking a lot.
“I like to propose a toast to you. Thank you for saving my life. I know I’ve said it many times, but I am
very grateful to you.” Arabe took her goblet and shook it slightly. After waiting for seven or eight
seconds, she gently clinked Emma’s goblet and then raised her head to drink the wine.
It was cold, and the red wine felt cold in her throat. However, it was warm in the room. It was fine for
her to drink something cold after staying indoors for a long time.
Emma didn’t drink the red wine, exining, “The doctor says that I can’t eat spicy food, nor can I
smoke or drink. I’m sorry that I’m going to let you down.”
“No, it doesn’t matter. Forget it if you can’t drink. Just have some foodter. Can you eat steak?”
Arabe asked.
Jaquan was embarrassed. He knew that Arabe meant well and tried to get Emma something nice to
eat.
She thought that Emma came from the countryside and had never seen anything good, so she gave
her expensive nourishing food like bird’s nest and ginseng as well as red wine that cost 21,000 one
bottle. She even brought the foreign chef from a five-star hotel to make steak and foie gras.
Arabe seemed to show her gratitude, but in other people’s eyes, she was actually showing off.
Emma was perceptive, and she might find out.
He picked up his goblet and said to Stony, “Come on, Stony, let’s clink our goblets. You’re still small, so
just take a small sip.”
Stony nodded. He picked up the goblet and copied Arabe, shaking it slightly and clinking it against
Jaquan’s goblet. He was only a child, but he deliberately put his goblet one inch lower than that of
Jaquan. When Jaquan was taken aback, Stony put the goblet to his mouth and took a small sip.
Arabe couldn’t help praising him, “You’re so smart. Have you ever tasted red wine before?”

“No, I saw how you drank it.” Stony put down his goblet and sat upright. “Mom says that for things that I
don’t know, I just carefully watch how other people do it.”
Emma smiled and touched his head. “Put into practice the things you learn. You did a good job.”
“Thanks for yourpliment, Mom.” Stony pressed his head against Emma’s palm.
Emma smiled in amusement. She seldom smiled, but her smile was exceptionally beautiful and gentle.
Arabe was slightly dazed.
Jaquan took a sip of red wine and then said to Emma, “He has a good upbringing. He’s smart and
sensible.”
As they spoke, the bodyguards went to the kitchen and brought out the steak, foie gras, spaghetti,
sd, and fruit desserts, as well as a box of multicolored Macaroons.
As soon as the knives and forks were ced on the table, Arabe gave a demonstration and looked at
Stony, saying, “Watch how l do it.”
“Alright.” Stony nodded.
Stony and Emma were sitting across the table, while Arabe and Jaquan sat on the same side. In the
beginning, Jaquan watched Arabe show Stony how to cut steak. When he looked at Stony, he caught
a glimpse of Emma, who was putting into her mouth a small piece of steak that she had cut. She did it
with calm elegance, like a well-mannereddy eating the most ordinary dinner instead of flustering at
her first experience of cutting the steak.
It required particr manner to have steak. Each knife had different use, but Emma did not make a
single mistake.. Without any hesitation, she chose the right knife.
