Jasper Milton returned home to find that Bettany Hadley had been waiting for him.
He put Dante Milton on the bed and covered him the quilt.
Bettany followed him. “Jasper, I have something to tell you.”
“Okay,” Jasper responded and turned to leave. He closed the door and asked Bettany, “Has Ralph fallen asleep?”
“I waited for you in the living room after he had fallen asleep. I know that Ralph has quite a temper. He is stubborn, rebellious, and naughty, and is not as obedient as Dante. Today, he treated Miss Wheeler rudely, so I am afraid that she would be prejudiced against him.” Bettany said softly.
“What do you think we should do then?” Jasper asked, looking at Bettany with his eyes closed.
“Well, the reason why Ralph rejected Miss Wheeler so much is that he was afraid that she would rece me, so he put up a lot of resistance. If the tutor was selected by Ralph, I think he would not act this way.” Bettany suggested.
“Okay, let Ralph choose a tutor that he is satisfied with then. The tutor needs to be full-time, and you must be satisfied too. In this way, he can be more obedient.” Jasper agreed directly.
“Really?” Bettany was excited. “Do you think so too?”
“I’ll pay for the tutor. He should be more well-behaved when he lives with you in the future. After all, he listens to you more.” Jasper said in a low voice.
Bettany’s smile disappeared. “What, what do you mean?”
Jasper looked at Bettany deeply. “You were in poor health before, so you entrusted Ralph to me. I used to think about whether I should send someone to take care of Ralph and you. It just so happened that Dante was alone. I was worried that he would be lonely, so I took Ralph here.
But after bringing him over, I found that Ralph’s heart has never been here. In this case, I should respect his wishes and let him follow you. In the future, you can find a reliable person to take care of you. I will pay for it.”
Bettany’s eyes dimmed and she said calmly, “You brought Ralph over because you thought that Dante would be lonely? Is Ralph only Ste’s son’s ymate in your heart?”
“I don’t need to exin to you what Ralph is to me. If you think that way, I can’t do anything about it. However, it is clear as day that Ralph just wants to be with you. He would only listen to you too.” Jasper’s eyes became colder.
Bettany didn’t get the answer she wanted. She was angry. “Jasper, wake up. I know that Ste is still in your heart, but she’s dead. If Ste didn’t die, why didn’t shee back? I really don’t know what you’re thinking. Ralph is your child too, but just look at the way you’re treating him! Do you even love him?”
“What do you mean look at the way I’m treating him? Do you think that I don’t treat him well? If so, you can take him away,” Jasper said coldly.
“If you were sincere to him, you wouldn’t drive him away so easily!” she said furiously as she clenched her fists.
“Am I the one who drove him away? He only wants to live with you, and he keeps running away from home to your ce. Even here, he only listens to you. In that case, I should fulfill his wish.” Jasper frowned and said.
Bettany saw his determination. “Then ask him what he wants. Are you going to give him whatever he wants?”
“If he wants to stay, he must listen to me. If he wants to go with you, I will pay for all the expenses for the housekeeper or the tutor. That’s all I’m going to say. It’ste. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.” After that, Jasper turned back to the room and closed the door.
He was so annoyed that he threw his suit on the sofa.
All of them kept telling him that Ste was dead. How could they be so sure?
In an instant, he was in a bad mood. He took the red wine in the wine cab, opened it, and drank it as if it was water…
Natalie Wheeler came out from the bathroom after a shower. She opened the stic bag and took out the ointment then applied it onto her wounds and bruises.
Although she was injured, when she thought of Dante’s cute and handsome face, she felt warm in her heart. This little suffering was worthwhile.
The ointment on the waist felt particrly warm, and it seemed as if it didn’t ache anymore.
After she was done, shey on the bed, missing Dante. The corners of her mouth were lifted.
On Sunday, she had to take a lot of photos of Dante and save them on her mobile phone so that she could look at them whenever she wanted to.
At this moment, her mobile phone rang. She picked it up.
Although there were many numbers on her mobile phone, she still remembered Jasper’s number.
She took a deep breath, sat up, answered the phone and respectfully said, “Mr. Milton.”
“What Mr. Milton? Don’t you know who am I to you?” Jasper roared.
“Ah?” Natalie could notprehend what he said for a while, and there was a strange feeling in her heart.
“They all said that you’re dead. But you’re not dead, are you? You’re still alive. You’ll definitelye back to me, right?” Jasper asked.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
Natalie realized that he sounded different, and his speech was a little slurred. He was probably drunk.
“Speak, say something. Don’t keep quiet!” Jasper ordered.
“Mr. Milton, it’s veryte now. Your children should be asleep. You will disturb them if you speak so loudly,” Natalie said softly.
“I’m outside. They can’t hear it. They can’t hear it.” Thetter part of his sentence was very gentle and soft as if he was falling asleep.
Natalie asked worriedly, “Where are you now? Have you forgotten? You said that you should not let Dante be alone with Bettany since she is living with you now.”
The more Natalie thought about it, the more worried she became. She got up from the bed and rushed out with her bag.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha.” Jasper giggled with pain in hisughter. “Since you care about Dante so much,e see him in person. Didn’t you always want to find Dante? Dante is our child. Come back,e back alive to see him. Ste, Ste, I miss you so much. Come back.”
Every time Jasper called Ste, Natalie felt a little sad.
“Mr. Milton, you have mistaken me for the wrong person. I am not Ste. Where are you now?” Natalie entered the elevator.
“I’m at…” Jasper paused and did not speak.
Natalie was anxious and asked, “Where are you?”
There was no sound from Jasper’s side.
Natalie suspected if Jasper fell asleep.
She was even more anxious. With a “Ding”, the elevator reached the first floor.
Natalie rushed out from the inside, but then stopped and turned back.
