77. When Did I Say I Was Going to Give You the House?
Grandma Restall would never let go of such a great opportunity to find a daughter-in-law. She stuffed her wet jacket back into Jessie’s arms, “That won’t do. How would I dare to casually ask for your clothes? Go back and help me wash this coat. I will also wash yours clean. When the time comes, we’ll hand it over and exchange it back, so… Hurry up and take out your phone, we’ll leave a number for each other.”
“I said I want it. Come on, leave a number.”
Jessie had no choice but to take out her phone and exchange numbers with her.
Grandma Restall was extremely happy in her heart and even deliberately put on a stern face.” My dress is custom-made by French designers and is the only one in the world. You must return it to me!”
Her words made Jessie feel a lot of pressure, “I am afraid that I will spoil such a good dress.”
“It’s fine. You can wash it however you want. It doesn’t matter if you break them.”
So, are your clothes worth money or not?
Grandma Restall realized that she seemed to have said contradicting words and covered her mouth in embarrassment. She tightly packed the beautiful sweaters on her body and quickly walked out. As she walked, she turned her head. “Remember to call me! Definitely!”
Grandpa Rudolf arranged two cars.
At this moment, Felix and Fia were in the car in front of them. They told Grandpa Rudolf about the interesting things that had happened in Nanchuan during the past few days.
The driver of the car in the back had already opened the door of the back seat and let Grandma Restall sit in.
Grandma Restall passed by the car in front of her.
When Fia saw her, she leaned on the window and shouted, “Mommy! Mommy!”
Felix quickly covered her small mouth and dragged her back into the car.
Grandpa Rudolf said, “That’s your father’s mother, not your mother!”
Only then did Fia see clearly see the person on the car was her grandmother. She could not help but pout, “Why is my grandmother wearing the same clothes as my mother?”
Felix quickly said, “You are mistaken.”
Actually, he also saw the clothes on his grandmother. Although he did not know what was going on, in order to avoid being questioned again and again, he felt that silence was more
appropriate.
Grandpa Rudolf frowned. “Who asked you to call her mommy?”
“Father told me to call her mommy.”
“Felix, did your father ask you to call that person mommy?” Felix looked obedient. “Yes, grandpa.”
Grandpa Rudolf couldn’t tell whether he was happy or worried. His son had a wife. However, h e didn’t know much about this Miss Jessie. He didn’t know what kind of person she was.
Grandma Restall walked to the side of the car. Alex immediately recognized that Jessie was wearing that clothes on her today, but he pretended to be indifferent. “Mom, you changed your clothes?”
“Yes, it looks good, right?” Grandma Restall asked happily.
Alex showed no mercy. “The color is too tender. It is not suitable for you.”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Jessie was more compatible with this dress.
“Why is it so tender? This color is light and not very bright. Forget it, forget it. I don’t expect you to have good taste. You really are Straight Man.” Grandma Restall was dissatisfied.
Rick did not know either. He thought for a while and answered, “Direct man, right?”
“Direct?” Alex frowned and nodded. “Direct is pretty good!”
No wonder they were old bachelor!
After packing his luggage, Alex walked to the car in front of him. He put one hand on the roof of the car and bent down. “Felix, Fia, you guys go to grandpa and grandma’s house today. I will come and pick you up for school tomorrow morning.” Grandpa Rudolf could tell what he meant. He immediately flew into a rage. “Get in the car!”
“Dad, there is still something urgent to deal with in the company. They will accompany you for the night.” Alex turned around and instructed the driver in front of him, “Drive!”
Fia squeezed out from the innermost part, “Dad, I want to go with you!”
Alex’s face was stern. “I’m going to work. Why are you following me?”
Fia pursed her lips, but the car had already started.
Damn it, he was definitely going to find his mommy again!
That guy on the plane said that after her father got married, her father no longer cared about her. It seemed like all fathers in the world were the same.
No, the next time she saw Mommy, she had to ask her properly. If Mommy agreed to it, then it was still counted!
Rick also started the car and followed the car in front.
Grandma Restall was so anxious that she shouted, “Assistant Rick, why did you throw your superior behind you?!”
Rick carefully smiled and apologized. “Boss has to go back to the company urgently. He should not have time to go back to old residence today.”
“Only ghosts would believe him!” Grandma Restall snorted discontentedly. But thinking about the girl she met at the airport today, her mood became better again.
That girl had to meet Grandma Restall again and her son. If such a nimble woman were to become her daughter-in-law, then she would have fun company in the future.
After sending the car away, Alex was about to call Jessie.
But Jessie called first.

Looking at the number on the phone, Alex thought of an adjective, Telepathy. When he answered the phone, his tone was especially gentle. “Come out.” Jessie said apologetically, “You should go back with them too. I have already called a taxi and left.”
The tenderness on Alex’s handsome face disappeared in an instant. He said coldly, “Didn’t I tell you to wait?! Call the driver back. I will wait at the airport entrance.”
“I’ve already told Sally that I’m going to her house now. I’ll look for you tomorrow, okay?”

“You want me to follow you?”
Jessie pouted. “If you continue to be like this, I will be angry too!”
It was not just him who had a temper. Why did he always force people like this every time? Really!
He didn’t say anything.
Jessie said, “I did not tell Sally when I came back to R City this time. Before I find a new house, I still need to stay at her place for a period of time. You go home first today. I will call you tomorrow morning, okay?”.
The fire in Alex’s heart was finally brushed away by her soft tone. He said, “If you don’t want t o live with us in Mountain and River Residence so soon, I still have a few properties in R City. I’ll bring you to choose one tomorrow.”
In the past, when people saw celebrities or billionaires giving their lovers a house or a villa, the comments below were filled with envy and praise. Everyone thought that a woman who
could be so doted on would definitely be very happy, and her life would be perfect.
However, Jessie did not expect that when Alex said that he would let her live in his house, she did not feel the slightest happiness. Instead, she felt shabby and humble, and she was afraid of the gap between the two of them.
Her voice dropped. “Alex, can you not be like this? You give me money and the house and I’m not used to it. Just take it that I’m being hypocritical. Actually, I have money. I have two million. I might not be able to buy a big house in R City, but it would be enough to buy a villa i n my hometown. Besides, I don‘t have any plans to buy a house in R City for the time being. However, renting a house is not a problem.”
She was prepared to invest in opening a shop first, and it wouldn’t be too late to buy a house after she earned some money in the future.
She was still standing there, embarrassed and reserved. The man’s grumpy low magnetic voice sounded again. “When did I say I was going to give you the house?”
“Didn’t you say that you have several properties in R City that you want to take me to choose? “Her voice lowered.
The man continued, “Don’t overestimate yourself. I’ll rent them to you!” So, she was really overestimating herself?

When Jessie arrived at Sally’s house, she was already waiting at the entrance of the neighborhood.
Jessie saw her the moment she got off the car and her heart was instantly moved. She quickly ran over and said with a reproachful smile, “Why did you specially run down to pick me up? I will go up myself.”
“Who came to pick you up? I am here to pick up the specialties. Where are the specialties?” Sally circled around her and stared at her in disbelief, “Why didn’t you bring any specialties for me this time?”
“You came downstairs for the specialties?” Jessie raised her hand and hit her. “What else do you think? Don’t tell me you think you are more charming than the specialty products?”

“I hate you!” The two of them laughed and went upstairs together.
After entering, Sally went to make coffee for her.
Jessie followed her to the kitchen door and leaned against the door frame. Her fingers gently dug at the patterns on the wooden door. “I will settle down in R City in the future.”
“Okay.” Sally did not look surprised at all.
She took out two cups of brewed coffee and placed them on the coffee table. She pulled Jessie over and sat on the sofa. She sat cross-legged on the carpet in front of her and faced Jessie face to face. “Alright, from now on, tell me honestly, what happened?”
Jessie told her everything about Felix and Fia.
“What?!” Sally suddenly jumped up, “There is such a coincidence in this world?”
Actually, even until now, Jessie still felt that it was quite absurd.
But when she thought of Felix and Fia, she could not help but thank the heavens, giving her two endless hope of defeating all the darkness. With them, no matter how much suffering and sadness it was, it would not be important.
“Then what are you going to do now? Are you settling down in R City because of your children?” Sally sat down again and stared at her passionately. “Where’s Boss Alex? Since he told you that it was also his paternity test, what is his plan? Wait a minute. Are you guys already together?”
Jessie’s face turned hot and after a while, she nodded her head.
Sally suddenly threw herself onto her body and held her face until it was deformed. She looked left and right and her eyes lit up, “Your life is going to change drastically!”
