Ex-Husband’s Regret: Barren Mommy Has Quadruplets

Chapter 171 Only You Were Hidden 

Later, the three of them departed. Jason took Alta back home first.

When they arrived at the entrance of Spring Villa, Jason noticed that Alta didn’t invite Donovan in. He deliberately asked, “It’s the first time. Donovan has come. Shouldn’t you invite him in for a cup of tea at your place?”

After hearing this, Donovan became curious and looked over.

Alta didn’t expect Jason to suddenly come up with such a remark. She immediately froze and cursed in her heart, “You talk too much!”

However, she pretended to remain calm and said. “It’s late and

Donovan must be tired today, so I don’t invite him. Besides, there’s nothing to entertain him with at home. I think I’d wait until Cindy and Donovan come over.”

Donovan looked unconcerned.

He spoke. “You are too polite. We’re family, no need to be so formal. But…”

He pondered for a moment. Then, he changed the subject, “It is indeed late tonight, next time you can invite me again.”

Alta breathed a sigh of relief and smiled obediently. She replied, “Okay, next time I’ll prepare tea to entertain you, Donovan.”

Jason noticed every subtle expression on her face. He became convinced that this woman was hiding something!

He narrowed his eyes and looked at her. With a somewhat scrutinizing expression, he exposed her by asking, “Why are you so nervous?”

Jason unexpectedly kept pressing on.

Alta hesitated for a moment and put on a puzzled look. She replied, “What do you mean?”

In her heart, she was quite anxious.

Jason looked at the villa behind her and guessed, “Is there someone hidden at home? That’s why you’re acting so strange?”

Alta didn’t expect him to be so perceptive. She thought to herself, “Yes, there is indeed someone hidden, someone you can’t see!”

But she remained composed and said casually, “I’m perfectly fine. There is only the housekeeper, Daisy, at home. As for someone being hidden…”

Alta nonchalantly added, “I’m not like you. I don’t have the hobby of keeping a mistress in a golden love nest!”

Jason was caught off guard by her words. His thin lips tightly pursed. After a moment of silence, he said, “I don’t have that hobby either. If I have to say…”

He raised his eyes and looked at Alta. He said with an ambiguous tone, “It’s only you.”

There had never been any woman or girl living in his house.

Except for a few years ago, when it was only Alta!

Alta was slightly stunned, feeling that his words were a bit ambiguous.

But before she could react, Jason left.

She watched the car go far away and took a while to regain her senses.

Then, she laughed at herself and said, “What kind of mistress am I? I’m just a forgotten one…”

Inside the carriage.

Jason was still savoring Alta’s stunned expression just now. He felt a strong gaze beside him staring at him.

He restrained himself and reluctantly gave a glance to Donovan, asking, “Do you have something to say?”

Donovan furrowed his brows and asked, “What do you mean just now? Do you have any intentions to reconcile with Alta?”

Although he was getting old, his eyesight was still sharp.

This brat still cared about Alta.

However, his actions didn’t seem like he was trying to reconcile or pursue her. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Jason didn’t answer immediately. His gaze fixed on the night outside the window.

He didn’t know what he felt for Alta.

But whenever something related to her came up, his mood couldn’t help but be stirred.

Jason furrowed his brows. After a long time, he gave a vague answer, saying, “Children need a mother.”

When this statement came out, Donovan’s anger immediately surged.

He said, “The children do need her, but don’t you need her? If that’s the case, then let me advise you. It’s better not to provoke that girl! Do you have any idea what she went through because of you in the past? Don’t you know it in your heart?”

When it came to past events, Donovan’s anger couldn’t stop.

Jason pursed his lips and remained silent. This made Donovan’s anger surge even more.

He looked disdainful and said, “Forget it. With your icy demeanor, I don’t expect you to understand in this lifetime! The children have lived for so many years without a mother by their side. It’s not like they can’t do without her.”

“Alta is still so young, with her prime youth ahead of her. Why should she waste it on two children? If you don’t like her, I’ll introduce her to even better young talents!

She was so beautiful and outstanding. There will be many people fighting over her!”

Donovan finished speaking with a huff. Then, he turned his head and looked out the window. He didn’t intend to pay any more attention to Jason.

Jason furrowed his brows, feeling inexplicably annoyed.

After returning home, Alta was greeted warmly by Otto and Nina.

“Mommy!”

Otto and Nina cach hugged one of her legs. They resembled hanging ornaments, cute and well- behaved.

Alta’s heart melted. She crouched down and kissed them both.

Then, holding their hands, she led them to the sofa. She spoke in a consultative tone, “Otto, Nina, mommy has something to tell you.”

“Okay, what is it?”

They nodded, looking obediently at her.

Alta didn’t hide anything. She quickly told them about Edward and Cindy coming to live with them.

Otto and Nina became a little nervous upon hearing this.

They had seen Edward and Cindy before.

Edward and Cindy were also aware of their existence.

“Mommy, if that’s the case, won’t we be able to hide Lucas and Lyla anymore? Is that okay?”

If Jason’s side found out, and they ended up arguing with Alta, what should they do?

Otto and Nina exchanged glances, starting to worry.

They didn’t want to see Alta and Jason confronting each other!

Alta sensed their concerns. She immediately touched their tender little faces. She said, “It’s okay. Edward and Cindy are important family members to mommy, and you are mommy’s most cherished baby. So, mommy will introduce all four of you to them!”

“Of course, I will ask Edward and Cindy to help keep it a secret.”

Upon hearing Alta’s words, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, they nodded and said, “Okay. In that case, we have no problem. We will be good and filial to Edward and Cindy!”

“Good children.”

Alta smiled and kissed them again.

Otto and Nina couldn’t help but smile.

At the hospital.

After returning from Cindy’s ward, Bonnie’s face was pale.

When Gail woke up and saw her, she couldn’t help but ask with concern, “Mom, what’s wrong? Why do you look so bad?”

“What else could it be? It’s all because of Alta!”

Bonnie was still fuming. She quickly recounted the events that had just taken place to Gail.

After listening, Gail’s heart sank and she asked, “Do you see the video?”

Bonnie nodded and replied, “I do, and it is given by Jason!”

Rainy finally found an opportunity to speak and immediately said, “Director, I want to mention this earlier, but I couldn’t find a chance… At noon, the entire process of your conflict with Alta is posted in the employee group!”
