58. Mommy, Dad asked you to go upstairs
. Jessie gently pushed him away and also smiled as she replied, “You don’t live here anymore. Furthermore, you are so busy. It would be strange if we could meet.”
Tony’s family was the only neighbor in town who was friendly to Jessie’s family. However, many years ago, Tony’s family moved to the city. Currently, the only thing left of Tony’s family was an old house that was empty on the foundation.
Tony was a year younger than Jessie. It could be said that Jessie had watched him grow up. Both families only had one child. The two of them had a very close relationship.
“So it was Tony who came back?” Jouvita heard the voice and walked out with a smile on her face.
“Yes Aunt, how are you? I miss you.” Tony handed everything in his hands to Jessie and went over to hold Jouvita’s hand.
When Alex saw Jessie take the gifts, his thick eyebrows knitted even tighter. He stood up and walked into the front room.
The people in the yard seemed to remember him now.
Tony looked at Alex’s tall and straight back and smiled slightly. “Is there a guest at home?”
“Yes, there are some guests at home today.” Jouvita smiled and replied, “Tony, have you had dinner? You stay and eat with us.”
Jessie was about to say something when Tony smiled and answered, “Ok, Thank you Aunt!”
“Jessie, you two can chat for a while. I will continue to cook.” Jouvita took the spinach on the ground in
Tony asked Jessie, “Jes, where was the guest just now? Why haven’t I seen him before?”
Jessie could not help but look towards the main room and did not see anyone there before she replied, “He is a friend of mine in R City. He came here for some business, so he drops in a t my home.”
While she was talking, Alex was still on the stairs, so he heard what she said clearly. He used his leather shoes to step on the wooden stairs, making a creaking sound. Jessie did not think that he was still on the stairs. Thinking that he might have heard her words, she felt a little disappointed but quickly felt relieved. There was bound to be no result between them.
Alex entered the room and the two children each had a tablet computer. They watched with great interest

“Dad?” Felix frowned in confusion.
“You want Aunt Jeje to be your new mother?”
Fia turned off her tablet and looked at them.
Felix blinked his bright black eyes and nodded in embarrassment.
It would be great if Aunt Jeje would be a member of his family.
She was good-looking and knew how to make delicious cake and milk. She liked Felix and Fia.
Most importantly, Aunt Jeje could control her bad-tempered father.
Fia also ran over and her small face was full of expectation, “Dad, are you going to propose to Aunt Jeje?”
Alex looked at his son and daughter with satisfaction and went to sit on the sofa. “You guys are going to be disappointed. There is a man downstairs. He seems to like Aunt Jeje.”
Before he finished speaking, the two Little Guy ran away.
Aunt Jeje was clearly their new mother. No one could change this!
Fia ran down the stairs and saw a bamboo broom in the corner. She paused and ran over. She raised the broom with one hand and followed Felix out.
Two Little Guy rushed into the kitchen, one in front and the other behind. Jessie and Tony were arranging the bowls and chopsticks.
Fia was thinking whether she should smack that man’s butt or his face. But he was too tall. Furthermore, she was still injured.
So when she decided to hit his butt, Felix had already walked over and reached out to hold Jessie’s hand. “Mommy, dad asked you to go upstairs.”
Mom?
Jessie’s face turned red like a ripe tomato.
Tony‘s face, which had been warm just now, turned stiff. “Jessie, are they your children?” he asked. “But didn’t you just divorce Mike not long ago?”
Tony had a secret in his heart, and that secret was about Jessie.
He had a crush on her for many years. He wanted to confess to her after graduating from university, but Mike beat him to it.
After she married Mike, Tony thought that he would never have another chance in his life. He did not return to his hometown for a few years.
Until a while ago, when he saw that Mike was going to marry again on the news, the suppressed feelings were revived. He went around asking about Jessie’s current contact information, and finally found out from a fellow villager that Jessie had returned to Nanchuan. That day, he rushed back.
But now, this child’s words had shattered his dream once again. He did not dare to believe it a t all.
Jouvita’s actions of serving the dishes paused slightly and quickly returned to normal. There was even a slight smile on her lips.
wa
Jessie was embarrassed and was about to explain to Tony.
Fia had already thrown away the broom and hugged her injured arm as she screamed.
Jessie did not have time to explain and ran over. She squatted down and was very anxious,”
Are you in pain again? Don’t move. Let me
Seeing that there was no bleeding at the place where the bandage was bandaged, Jessie’s heart relaxed a little. “You can’t run away like you did just now. You have to be careful, okay?”
Felix saw that Jouvita had prepared a plate of dishes and he ran over. He eagerly extended two small hands to receive it. “Grandma, I’ll carry it!”
“Aye, alright. Felix, be careful.” Jouvita smiled and carefully handed it to him.
Felix glanced at Tony, who was still in a daze beside the table. When he approached him, he saw that Tony was still in a daze. He seemed to accidentally touch the corner of the table.
A plate of emerald-green spinach was sprinkled on Tony’s suit.
“I’m sorry! Uncle, it’s all my fault for being careless. Did you get burned?” Little Guy’s anxious look made people unable to blame him.
Jessie quickly ran over as well. “I’m really sorry, Tony. The child was too careless. I apologize t o you on his behalf. How about this, you change your suit and bring it over. I’ll help you wash i
t”
If it was just a moment ago, Tony would not have believed that she was really the mother of the children. Now, looking at Jessie’s appearance, he was completely clear-headed.
As he said that it was alright, he hurriedly said goodbye.
“You just came and left?” Jessie was full of apology, “Sorry, Tony…”
Tony had already left in a daze.
Only then did Felix sincerely apologize to Jessie and Jouvita, “I’m sorry, Grandma, Aunt Jeje. I was too careless.”
Jessie smiled and patted his head. “It’s fine. You just need to be careful in the future.”
Jouvita understood the two little smart kids’ idea and smiled. She did not mention the matter just now and only said, “The meal is ready. Go and call your father to come and eat.”
“Okay.”
Grandfather and grandmother did not come over to eat today. With many guests at home, Jouvita made many good dishes. Jouvita packed some dishes into the lunchbox and let Jessie send over to the two elders.
Jessie did not walk far when she heard footsteps behind her.
She turned her head and saw Alex following her.
He was wearing a black shirt and a dark brown windbreaker. A corner of the windbreaker rose with the wind, making him look even more unrestrained.
Jessie once again lowered her head and walked forward, ignoring him.
The autumn sky was dark early. After they left the town, the sky seemed to have been covered by a layer of black veil, leaving only a few cold stars flickering.
There were shadows of trees by the side of the road. Jessie had walked on this road for many years. She had already gotten used to it and did not feel that it was scary.
She did not know when Alex had already walked shoulder to shoulder with her. He reached out one hand and took the lunchboxes from her. He held her small hand with the other hand and wrapped it around his dry and warm palm. “Why did you run so fast? Grandfather and Grandmother ate late. There’s no hurry!”
Even though there was no one in this area, Jessie was still not used to holding hands with him like this.
Just as she was about to struggle, he tightened his grip, making it impossible for her to break free.
Jessie’s face was extremely red, and her heart was also beating fiercely. She quickened her pace and walked forward.
A man’s legs were long. No matter how fast she walked, it was also equivalent to taking a walk to Alex.
He only let go when he was almost at the entrance of Jessie’s grandfather’s and grandmother’s house.
Jessie did not stop for a moment as she pushed open the door and walked in.
Before Alex could follow her in, Jessie had already sent the lunchbox and came out. She turned around and walked back.
Alex only had time to greet the two elders in a hurry and smiled helplessly. “It’s late. I’m worried about her for being alone, so I’ll go over first.”
The two elders beamed with joy. “Go, come and play in the garden tomorrow.”
After walking for a while, Alex held Jessie’s hand again. His other hand even wrapped around her slender waist, almost bringing her into his arms.
Jessie felt powerless. She could not help but be angry, “What do you want to do?”
As soon as she finished speaking, her body turned and her back pressed against the hard tree trunk.
Alex pressed against her. There was some displeasure in his deep and magnetic voice. “What do you think I want to do?”
In the next second, he lowered his head and kissed her slightly raised red lips.
He kissed extremely greedily.
These days, he had endured it for a long time. After kissing her last night, he hadn’t had a good night.
His kiss was especially good at confusing people. Jessie could not help but feel her body soften.
Alex moved a step further. His slightly cold fingers touched her skin and she woke up immediately. Instinctively, she pushed him away and lowered her head to catch her breath.” Alex…”
Suddenly interrupted, the man’s temper rose. His voice was cold. “Remove the surname!”
Jessie bit her lips and looked up at him.
In the dim light from afar, the man’s eyes were so deep that they seemed to suck her in.
Jessie could understand the meaning of his eyes and a lot of words went through her mind. Biting her lips, she still opened her mouth. “I told you before that it was not a lie that I regretted it. That day was a special case. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to find you. I apologize to you again. You might have a good impression of me now. But that’s only temporary freshness, it won’t last long. Let’s stop there. It’s impossible for us to get married.”
