Chapter 172
The sadness I felt at that moment lifted quite a bit.
I took a deep breath and said with a choked voice, "You're so nosy, even managing when I cry."
Jason chuckled softly, "Of course, you're my woman, so I want you to be happy every day."
"You're so cheesy!"
I couldn't help it.
Jason asked back, "Don't you like it?"
My heart trembled slightly. No matter what, I couldn't ignore the sweetness surging in my heart because of Jason.
My nose was completely stuffed, and my voice sounded muffled, "I like it."
"Good. From now on, I'll make you happy and sweet every day, like you're living in a honey pot."
Oh my god, how is he getting more and more cheesy?
Most of the bad mood I had because of Tyler disappeared.
A smile curved at the corner of my lips as I teased him, "Jason, everyone out there says you're a cold and ruthless grim reaper. If they knew what you're really like in private, they'd be shocked."
Jason's eyes grew even softer, "My tenderness belongs only to you."
I held his hand back and shook it, "You said it yourself. If I find out you're like this with other women, I won't let you off."
"Don't worry, I value my life."
We chatted casually, and my mood improved a lot.
I suddenly thought of Tyler, who had the nerve to show up today, and looked at Jason seriously, "By the way, although Tyler is my biological father, he never raised me and I have no feelings for him. If he comes to you asking for things or wants you to invest in the Miller Group, don't pay attention to him and don't give him anything."
Jason nodded readily, "Don't worry, babe. Everything I have is yours. If you say no, then it's no."
I smiled lightly and didn't say much more.
I just took that as sweet talk.
In my heart, Jason's things were still his. I never considered them mine.
Some words are just meant to be heard, not taken seriously.
Besides, I have a place to live now and plenty of savings.
Last time I checked the bank card George gave me at the bank, there was actually twenty million dollars in it!
Now I'm a multimillionaire. Even if I never work again for the rest of my life, I can live well.
I'm not interested in luxury goods. Twenty million dollars is more than enough, enough to keep me comfortable for life.
So compared to Jason's fortune, I care more about Jason himself.
Because we were delayed by Tyler for a while, when we arrived at the kindergarten, there were no parents queuing at the entrance anymore.
I called the teacher, and a few minutes later, the teacher brought Jessica out.
After thanking the teacher, I lifted Jessica into the car. While buckling her seatbelt, I apologized, "I'm sorry, sweetie. Mommy had something come up today and got delayed, so you had to wait."
Jessica sat obediently in her car seat and shook her head, "It's okay, Mommy. I read books in the classroom for a while, and time passed quickly."
Jessica was so understanding, I couldn't help but smile.
Jason was right. I have people around me who love me now. I'm happy.
When we got home, I went to the kitchen to cook, and Jason naturally followed me in to help.
We hadn't seen each other for several days, and Jason was talking much more than usual.
With him there talking to me, even cooking time seemed to pass faster.
After dinner, Jason took out the trash and went upstairs to shower.
I sat at the head of the bed reading.
Seeing Jason walking toward me with burning eyes, I smiled, "Wait a minute."
Jason's eyes grew even hotter.
He strode closer to me, leaning down to kiss me.
I put my hand over his mouth, "You haven't been home for several days. Go read a picture book to Jessica and put her to bed tonight."
Jason looked at me resentfully.
I smiled, "Come on, Jessica hasn't seen her daddy for several days. She misses you too."
I patted Jason's shoulder, "Go on, go on."
Jason left, looking back every few steps.
I shook my head and went back to reading.
What I didn't know was that I thought Jason going to put Jessica to bed would be a heartwarming father-daughter scene.
But Jason walked into Jessica's room with the picture book.
Jessica looked at Jason expectantly.
Jason pushed the picture book in front of Jessica and said one word, "Read."
Jessica was obviously used to Jason's attitude. She obediently took the picture book and read it seriously in her soft voice.
Jason just sat by the bed, listening to Jessica read.
Anyone who didn't know better might think Jessica was putting him to bed.
When the picture book was finished, Jason nodded slightly, "Not bad. Time for bed."
Jessica nodded, lay down on the bed, and blinked her watery eyes at Jason.
"Good night, Daddy."
Jason paused for a moment, then leaned down to tuck the covers around Jessica, "Good night."
When Jason came back, I looked up at him, "Finished reading?"
"Yes."
I looked at him seriously, "Jason, you still need to spend more time with Jessica in the future. You need to be a good father. Jessica loves you very much."
Jason raised an eyebrow, "Am I not good enough?"
I asked back, "What do you think?"
Jason thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll work on it."
Only then was I satisfied. I moved toward the inside of the bed and patted the space beside me, "Come to bed."
Only then did Jason get into bed and turn off the bedside lamp.
In the darkness, I could feel the bed beside me sink down, then a large hand reached over to hold my waist, and I was pulled into a burning hot embrace.
"Sue..."
Jason called my name in a hoarse voice and lowered his head to kiss my lips tenderly.
We hadn't seen each other for several days, and I missed him too. I immediately reached up to hook my arms around his neck and responded actively.
The kiss was hot and lingering for a long time, and the temperature in the room gradually rose.
Jason's hot hand slipped under the hem of my pajamas.
I immediately pressed down on his hand.
"Sue?"
I blinked, "I got my period."
Jason on the bed froze.
After a moment, his voice was extremely frustrated, "How many more days?"
I thought about it, "Probably two or three days."
Jason brought his hand back up, cupped the back of my head with one hand, and his lips kissed me again.
Another lingering kiss.
Until I felt my lips were swollen, Jason reluctantly let go and got out of bed to go to the bathroom.
Hearing the sound of water from the bathroom, I couldn't help but laugh.
One day, I was lounging on the sofa looking at my phone with nothing to do.
Lily was messaging me for a chat.
When we talked about my biological father being Tyler, she was extremely shocked.
Lily: [So you and Chris and Flora are half-siblings?]
I had already come to terms with this.
Me: [It is pretty ridiculous. I never thought Cora would become someone's mistress.]
Lily: [Nothing else to say, but your mom is pretty good-looking. It's not surprising Tyler would fall for her.]
She had seen Cora once before.
Lily asked me: [Sue, are you okay? Are you very upset?]
Me: [I was a bit at first, but I'm fine now. This is Cora's stupid mistake. She's the one with no morals being a mistress. What does it have to do with me? I'm not going to be sad for her.]
