Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 147 - 139: This Family of Three Is So Good-Looking!
This kid really never forgets to bring up his bio-dad...
Jason Hawthorne secretly gave his son a thumbs up, truly worthy of being his son! With him in the middle to mediate, it seems nothing is impossible.
Since Twinkle had spoken up, Laura Quincy couldn’t say much more. Kids are innocent, and no matter the conflict between adults, you can’t show it in front of children.
She was well aware of this.
There was a medium-sized supermarket inside the community, and when Laura Quincy appeared there holding Twinkle’s hand, many neighbors gossipingly remarked, "So you’re the little boy’s mom! Your family really has good looks!"
Laura was exasperated, "You’ve misunderstood, we’re not a family."
The neighbors were taken aback, "Aren’t you? I think your son looks just like you!"
Laura: "..."
They say the eyes of the crowd are bright, and it’s really true!
Hearing this, Twinkle blinked in confusion, looking at his sister and then his dad. He was actually quite happy that others said he looked like his sister; this way, his sister would be his mom!
Jason hurriedly chimed in to smooth things over, "Sorry, my wife and I are having a disagreement."
Upon hearing this, the neighbors instantly understood.
So that’s what’s going on!
Laura gave Jason a fierce glare, bastard! Who’s his wife? Shameless! How could he talk so shamelessly!
On the way back after shopping, Laura barely glanced at Jason, treating him like air.
But there were plenty of interactions between her and Twinkle...
So much so, that when Laura went to the balcony to take a call, Twinkle quietly leaned in to dad’s ear and asked, "Daddy, did you do something bad to make sister unhappy?"
Jason’s forehead was covered in black lines, "Daddy did do something wrong that made sister unhappy, but daddy doesn’t regret it."
Twinkle blinked in confusion, "Daddy, admitting and fixing your mistakes is what makes a good man!"
Jason ruffled his son’s hair, "Does Twinkle want sister to be your mom?"
Twinkle nodded eagerly, "Of course!"
Jason then said, "Then Twinkle needs to help daddy, do you remember what daddy told you on the plane?"
Twinkle nodded solemnly, "I remember! But daddy, you have to apologize to sister first, and I’ve said it, girls need to be coaxed, you must be patient."
Jason: "..."
Is he being lectured by his son?
If this gets out, wouldn’t people laugh until their teeth fall out?
When Laura finished her call and walked into the living room, she saw the father and son whispering, and couldn’t help but say, "Twinkle, what do you want to eat tonight? Sister will take you out to eat."
Just as Twinkle was about to speak, his dad interrupted, "Let’s just cook at home!"
Laura shot him a look, "I can’t cook."
Jason immediately thought of Laura cooking for Jonah Xavier a couple of days ago and couldn’t help but feel jealous, "Didn’t you cook for Counselor Xavier?"
Laura looked at him incredulously, "You had someone follow me?"
What the hell! Has this guy been monitoring her every move?
Jason neither confirmed nor denied, getting up directly, "I’m going to see what’s in the fridge."
Watching his back, Laura was so angry she gnashed her teeth, bastard! No wonder he could find her residential community so precisely, he must have had someone follow her all along!
Being surveilled like this felt really awful!
Laura, filled with anger, walked over, lowered her voice, and said viciously, "Don’t think that just because Twinkle is here you can do whatever you want! This only makes me despise you more!"
Jason paused with his hand on the fridge, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Wasn’t what I said true?"
Laura’s eyes were cold, "So what if it was true? What does it have to do with you? Who are you to me?"
Jason was unfazed by her sarcastic remarks, "I’m your son’s father."
Laura was disdainful of his shamelessness, holding back for a long time before spitting out three words, "Shameless!"
Then, she simply turned around and ignored him.
She couldn’t lose her temper in front of Twinkle, but she could treat him like air!
Twinkle craned his little neck, curiously watching dad and sister...
Although he couldn’t see sister’s full face from his angle, from the side of her face that he could see, sister’s expression didn’t look very happy, on the contrary...
She looked quite angry.
Sigh...
He let out a long sigh, daddy was so weak! He couldn’t even manage the simple task of coaxing a girl...
An hour later.
Laura had prepared a simple meal of two dishes and one soup: stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and mushroom pork soup.
These are all dishes Twinkle likes, without any chili, just right for kids.
For a carnivore like Jason Hawthorne, these are way too bland, and throughout the meal, Laura Quincy didn’t glance at him even once.
She didn’t even serve him any rice...
"Twinkle, your sister’s cooking can’t compare to your pretty aunt’s. How about next time we go out to eat?"
"I think my sister’s cooking is getting tastier and tastier. Daddy, what do you think?"
Twinkle smiled and looked at Daddy, who hadn’t had a chance to speak, redirecting the conversation to him.
Jason Hawthorne quickly praised, "After eating so much meat outside, simple home-cooked dishes are really delicious. Twinkle’s right, the taste is great!"
Laura Quincy wasn’t receptive at all to his compliment, still treating him like air...
"Twinkle, be good and eat more."
"Oh..."
With a mouthful of rice, Justin nodded vaguely, then, while Laura was focused on her food, threw a helpless glance at Daddy, as if saying: Daddy, I’m powerless here...
Jason Hawthorne’s face sank like water, even though he had mentally prepared himself before coming, the feeling of being ignored was still pretty awful...
No matter what he said, it felt like talking to air, no matter what he did, it was wrong...
This feeling is terribly frustrating!
From childhood to now, he had never felt so pathetic.
He thought the only thing he could do now was to clear the table of the two dishes and soup, then Laura would cook more for him and Twinkle.
Laura Quincy still remained unmoved by his efforts, just when she was about to get up and clean the dishes, Twinkle stopped her, "Sister, you worked hard cooking, you definitely shouldn’t keep washing dishes! Let Daddy wash them! Let’s go to the living room and play games!"
Laura wanted to say something, but Jason had already taken the dishes...
In less than ten minutes, a clear ceramic crash sounded from the kitchen. Playing games, Laura and Twinkle both looked up, exchanging glances.
Laura hurriedly put on her shoes and headed to the kitchen, as she suspected, the sound was the breaking of a bowl...
"Are you going to tell me you can’t even wash dishes?"
Jason Hawthorne stood there with a grim face, deeply feeling the sorrow from the pile of broken bowls...
Imagine him as the mighty president of Aegis Group, his hands having always held only pens and documents, when did he ever wash dishes?
After adding some dish soap, the bowls were too slippery for him to hold...
And then they unexpectedly slid from his hands...
Completely uncontrollable!
To Laura’s question, he could only reply gruffly, "I’ve never washed dishes before."
Laura took a deep breath, "You’ve never washed dishes, yet you insist on doing it? I think you’re doing it on purpose!"
Jason nonchalantly pursed his lips, "No."
At this point, Justin also came "thud, thud, thud" running over, looked at the scattered broken bowls, and suddenly said with a cheerful smile, "Sister, don’t be upset! Blessings come with breakages! I think this meaning is pretty good! Since Daddy broke them, let Daddy clean up, and then make him go to the supermarket to buy a new set of dishes and chopsticks, okay?"
Justin’s clever response made Laura feel a lot better, the situation couldn’t be remedied by saying more, it was better to follow Twinkle’s suggestion.
"Since Twinkle said it, take care of it yourself!"
Counting this, it was the most normal sentence Laura had spoken to Jason since seeing him, it instantly made him incredibly happy, taking sons to chase wives is more reliable than going solo!
Seeing the matter resolved satisfactorily, Twinkle pulled Laura back to the living room to continue playing games, leaving Jason alone in the kitchen tidying up the shattered remnants...
Jason Hawthorne, who has never done housework, spent a long time cleaning the floor, not only that, he also cut his hand...
As a man, he didn’t care about these things, just rinsed it with water and left it be.
In the living room, Twinkle, just like before, leaning against Laura playing games, the mother-son duo occasionally frowned and burst into laughter. It was like an invisible hand strumming his heartstrings...
This is the family he hoped for!
Warm, harmonious, happy...
"Daddy, why is your hand bleeding?"
Eagle-eyed Twinkle suddenly noticed Daddy’s hand was dripping blood, couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
Laura’s gaze involuntarily shifted to Jason’s fingers, sure enough, his right index finger was bleeding...
Jason finally glanced at his finger, nonchalantly said, "It’s nothing, just cut by the bowl."
Saying that, he casually grabbed a tissue to wipe away the blood.
Justin jumped up quickly, "Sister, is there alcohol and cotton swabs for disinfecting at home? Won’t it get infected if not treated?"
Laura rubbed her forehead, "It won’t, just accidentally scraped by the bowl shards."
But Justin still looked very serious, tightly pursing his lips without saying a word, in a child’s mind, he believed this was a big deal.
Because whenever he accidentally cut his hand, Daddy and the servants at home would nervously disinfect him with alcohol and cover it with a patch...
