CHAPTER 97: CHAPTER 93: DAMN WOMAN!

Jasper Hawthorne spoke with extreme pain in his voice.

Jason Hawthorne responded with an "Oh," and then asked, "How do you know that man is her boyfriend?"

Jason took the opportunity to say, "I saw her having dinner with that man once when I was on a date with Serena, and she told me herself that he was her boyfriend. It seems he’s a lawyer! They really do make a good couple standing together."

He said it on purpose to test his uncle’s reaction.

Jason suppressed the displeasure deep within his heart. Whatever Jasper’s purpose was in saying these things, he wouldn’t let his scheme succeed!

Trying to test me?

Hmph! He’s still too inexperienced!

"A lawyer and a translator, indeed they make a good match!"

Hearing his uncle say that, Jasper got even more confused. Could it be an illusion that he saw a fleeting coldness in his uncle’s eyes just now?

"But isn’t she Young Master Thorne’s lover?"

"Who told you that?"

Jason slightly raised his eyebrows, asking as if it was only natural, with a face full of curiosity, as if saying: If you know any inside information, spill the gossip to me too.

Jasper choked for a moment, "It’s all over the company now, and Uncle, you just said that Young Master Thorne praised Laura Quincy for her talent in front of you."

Jason nodded, "That’s right! But it’s just a compliment on her talent, it doesn’t represent anything else."

He was playing Tai Chi with him too.

Jasper felt a sense of indignation, "Young Master Thorne comes from a family of diplomats and is fluent in seven languages. He never needs to bring a translator on business trips, usually only Lemon, but now he’s taken Laura Quincy to Gaulia twice. Doesn’t that say something?"

Jason’s expression was calm and detached, "Asher Thorne being fluent in seven languages is true, but for business trips, he surely doesn’t need to do everything personally. Having a translator by his side is more convenient."

These words left Jasper speechless, indeed! What kind of status does Asher have? Does he need to handle everything personally?

Bringing a translator along to help him with work is certainly better...

"I overthought it."

"Good that you understand."

"Uh..."

Jasper simply stopped speaking. Through this conversation with his uncle, he felt even more confused. Yet, he still didn’t fully believe that Laura Quincy was completely innocent...

Jason knew he probably wasn’t fully convinced either, and didn’t plan to explain further. He stood up, "Let’s go! You’ve worked hard today, let’s go eat."

Jasper humbly replied immediately, "Uncle entrusting this matter to me is also a sign of trust."

Jason didn’t say more and walked away with his long strides.

Unseen by Jasper, Jason’s expression instantly turned sinister and terrifying...

That damn woman! Didn’t I tell her to eat at the hotel? She went off to meet another man in just a short while!

And it’s a lawyer boyfriend?

Hmph!

He would make sure she realized her mistake tonight!

Laura Quincy, who was eating, suddenly sneezed twice. She rubbed her nose, did someone scold her? Moreover, she felt as if a pair of deep, cold black eyes were watching her...

She glanced around, finding nothing unusual.

Jonah Xavier noticed her condition and couldn’t help asking, "What’s wrong?"

Laura suddenly asked, "Nothing, the building opposite is a high-end office building, right?"

Jonah nodded, "Yes, do you know someone there?"

Laura shook her head, "No, just asking."

Jonah looked at the opposite office building puzzledly as well, everything seemed normal, nothing strange.

"Do you have anything in the afternoon?"

"I took on a part-time job over the weekend, tutoring a child in English."

Laura said apologetically. Actually, even if she wasn’t going to tutor Twinkle in English, she would find another excuse to refuse Counselor Xavier.

She wasn’t single anymore, so she certainly couldn’t get entangled with other men behind The Demon King’s back, especially when she had felt Jonah’s...special attention.

Yet she also found it comfortable being around him.

In such circumstances, things mustn’t develop further...

Jonah looked at her somewhat surprised, "You really don’t leave any personal space for yourself."

Laura smiled, "There’s nothing much to do on weekends anyway! Tutoring children in English isn’t hard, and having something to do every day feels more fulfilling."

Jonah’s impression of her instantly elevated again, this girl really was different from the usual women!

After parting ways with Jonah, Laura went to The Hawthorne Villa.

Justin Hawthorne always showed extreme joy at her arrival, "Sister, I’ve memorized all the words you taught me last week."

Laura affectionately patted his fluffy head, "Twinkle is so smart!"

Justin proudly lifted his chin, "Daddy said it’s because Sister teaches well."

Speaking of a certain man, Laura’s expression became slightly unnatural, "Your daddy hasn’t come back yet, has he?"

Justin shook his head, "Daddy called just now, said he’d have dinner with us tonight."

Laura looked somewhat embarrassed, wondering if Twinkle was quoting directly from The Demon King? He probably hadn’t told Twinkle about their relationship...

"Okay, let’s start the lesson now."

"Got it!"

At 6:40 PM, Jason Hawthorne walked into the house to find a big and small duo cozied up on the sofa playing video games, with his son Twinkle leaning against Laura Quincy.

Their intimate demeanor made him feel a twinge of jealousy...

Moreover, looking at Twinkle’s features, they surprisingly resembled Laura’s, especially when they laughed, their smiles almost identical...

Realizing this suddenly made him even more certain he was doing the right thing.

Since Twinkle liked Laura so much, and she happened to be his biological mother, nothing could be more perfect.

"Sis, help me take that guy down!"

"Sis, should I go left or right?"

"Sis, I finally defeated that annoying red-clothed swordsman."

Justin Hawthorne’s childish voice chirped through the living room, and anyone could hear the joy and excitement in his tone.

It seemed like the weekends were his happiest days...

Jason Hawthorne waited for quite a while, but no one noticed him, prompting him to clear his throat.

In the midst of the fun, Laura Quincy looked up to see The Demon King standing in front of her, and she sat up straight.

Before she could say anything, Twinkle had already happily jumped forward, "Daddy, you’re back!"

Jason Hawthorne tousled his son’s messy hair with a gentle gaze, "Did you absorb today’s lessons?"

Twinkle looked up with his little head, "Of course! If you don’t believe me, ask Sis! I’m a child prodigy."

Jason Hawthorne assumed the look of a strict father, "Who boasts like that?"

Twinkle pouted...

Laura stepped in at the right time, "Twinkle is indeed very smart! He learns and understands things quickly. I’m the one who called him a child prodigy, so don’t be too harsh on him, he’s just a five-year-old kid after all."

Twinkle quickly snuggled closer to Laura, as if to say: Hmph! Thankfully, I have Sis to back me up!

Jason Hawthorne shot a glance at Laura, that damn little woman! He hadn’t even confronted her yet! Meeting another man at lunch behind his back?

And now she acts so justifiably in front of him?

Who gave her the guts?

However, given that she’s Twinkle’s mother, he decided not to argue with her words...

He then instructed Butler Chadwick, "Tell the kitchen to serve dinner."

Butler Chadwick went to the kitchen, and no one mentioned the previous topic again.

Twinkle sneaked a glance at his daddy, noticing he wasn’t angry and looked relaxed, he couldn’t help but think: It seems daddy and Sis are getting along much better!

What a cause for celebration!

He thought joyfully, just hoping Laura would soon become his mother, so every day would be even more delightful!

Oh yay!

After dinner, Laura was about to leave, but Twinkle clung to her arm, not letting go, "Sis, what if you can’t get up tomorrow morning? You promised you’d stay over in the guest room on Saturday nights before, to save the trouble of going back and forth! Besides, it’s unsafe for a girl to go back at night, neither Daddy nor I would be at ease."

Saying this, Twinkle desperately gave his daddy a look.

Jason Hawthorne was rendered speechless by his son’s obvious matchmaking attempt!

Luckily, father and son shared the same opinion!

He then cleared his throat, "It’s rare that Twinkle sincerely wants you to stay. Coming over only once every Saturday night leaves more to be desired, don’t you think?"

Laura’s face turned dark, what did The Demon King mean!

He made it sound like she was being pretentious!

"Alright, I’ll stay in the downstairs guest room."

A servant nearby quickly said, "The guest room is cleaned daily; Ms. Quincy, you can stay without worry, the bed sheets have just been washed."

Laura: "Uh..."

So, Laura ended up staying in the guest room, and she couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination, but she kept feeling like The Demon King was looking at her in a dangerous way tonight...

As if she had done something wrong that he had discovered...

Yet all for nothing, she hadn’t done anything!

Twinkle, for some reason, wouldn’t go to bed tonight unless Laura told him stories, otherwise, he’d be stubborn and refuse to sleep.

Jason Hawthorne glared at his son, "Daddy will tell you a story."

Twinkle shook his head, "No! Daddy, your storytelling is so lacking in charm! It’s just like reading a book, not interesting at all! I want Sis to tell me stories!"

He stubbornly refused, and Jason Hawthorne’s face darkened, nearly losing his temper...

Laura quickly interjected, "Let me do it! You step out first."

Twinkle also chimed in, "Daddy, you leave! Let Sis stay with me!"

His voice was childish and adorable, inherently cute.

But Jason Hawthorne wasn’t in the mood because he could already foresee the future scenario of his son competing with him for Laura...

If Twinkle knew Laura was his biological mom, wouldn’t he cling to her every night to sleep together?

Thinking about this situation, he felt he couldn’t tell his son too early...

Otherwise, he’d have fewer chances of cuddling with his wife...

It took an hour for Laura to tell stories until Twinkle finally fell asleep, and after putting him to sleep, she was sore all over, having kept one position for too long.
