133. There was a Name for Chastity in Ancient Times but That’s Only Against Women
In the entire country, as long as it was a daughter of an aristocratic family with feelings, she would be introduced to the son by Old Madam of the Laurent family.
If Alex was not her son-in-law, Refina would also think that it was normal for him to pass down
the family line.
But Refina only needed to think about Alex and that woman getting married. Refina’s daughter risked her life to exchange for her son and daughter, but they hugged that woman tightly and called her mother. It was as if she was angry that her son-in-law had an affair.
Because of this, Refina also thought of the woman who was hugging Fia just now. For a moment, she was so angry that her teeth itched.
But Refina did not have any reason to stop such a thing from happening.
Alex did not plan to hide it from Refina. His expression was calm, “It should be before and after the New Year. At that time, I will announce this matter.”
Refina froze.
Refina originally still had hope in her heart, but Alex felt guilty towards her daughter. Even if Alex married again, it would at least give her some time to catch her breath.
Refina did not think that Alex would be so sure.
She immediately felt embarrassed.
The milk cup in Refina’s hand slanted and fell on the table because she unconsciously used too much strength. The fragrant milk and almonds were instantly scattered on the table.
“Grandma, you didn’t get burned, right?” Yosie, who had been quietly sitting by the side, quickly took a piece of cloth to wipe.
Refina’s face was pale as she sternly said, “Yosie, you go out!”
Yosie was suddenly startled by Refina’s shout and put down the cloth with somewhat aggrieved red eyes.
Alex looked coldly at the drops of milk dripping down from the edge of the table to the floor and still said unhurriedly, “I cannot be alone for the rest of my life. Felix and Fia also cannot have a mother. With her helping me take care of them, I am also at ease.”
Alex was at ease, but Horfoud family was not at ease!
Refina endured the anger that was about to explode in her heart and said sarcastically, “What you said is correct. There was a name for chastity in ancient times. But that was only targeted at women. After all, Gina has been gone for a few years. It is reasonable for a man in his prime to want a woman. No one would have any objections if you want to marry again.”
How could Alex not hear Refina’s ridicule and did not argue with her. He faintly curled his lips,”
Thank you Mother-in-law for understanding.”
With just one sentence, Refina was so angry that she almost spat out blood.
Refina suddenly stood up and gritted her teeth as she said, “Alright, you did the right thing. This should be the way. You can marry her. This time, I will bring Felix and Fia back to N City. Our Horfoud family’s grandson will be raised by us and we will not stop you from getting married and having children!”
“I still want to see who the children are willing to follow. Where are they willing to stay? As long a sit’s their wish, I, as a father, will do my best to fulfill their wish.” Alex played with the cup of almond milk in front of him with his fingers. After a pause, he added, “Compared to me. Felix and Fia prefer Jessie.”
The meaning of his words could not be clearer. It was impossible for the Horfoud family to take the child away.
Refina was extremely angry. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Because the two families were old friends, Refina knew very well what kind of bad temper Alex had when he was young. So when Gina had the idea of following him, she had said that Alex was outrageous. He had a bad temper and would not coax a woman to love her. No matter how good the conditions were, she was not willing to let Gina follow him, but Gina just did not listen.
During the time when Alex and Gina were married, Gina had said good things about Alex in the Horfoud family. Refina had only met this son-in-law a few times, so they were still safe.
If not for the many years of friendship between the two families and the fact that her daughter had given birth to a son and a daughter for her, Refina would have fallen out with the Laurent family the year Gina died.
Now, Gina was willing to sacrifice her life. In the end, Gina did not have any status in Alex’s heart.
Thinking about Fia calling that woman Mommy just now, Refina’s heart turned completely cold.
Refina’s daughter did not even hear the children calling her mother.
Alex put down the milk and looked at Refina lightly again, “You rest first. I will call Housekeeper t o come in and clean up.”
Refina’s heart was sour and painful. She was so angry that she laughed instead. “Alex, Horfoud family was blind and misjudged you!”
Alex’s eyes were cold. He looked at Refina a few times but did not say anything.
The dead were already gone and Jessie was unwilling to tell the truth of the matter. She was mostly thinking about the child but there was one more thing that made her feel guilty towards Gina in her heart. Although Jessie did not say it, Alex understood it all.
It would be fine if Horfoud family could settle things peacefully, but if there was really no end to it, Alex would not keep silent!
On the way to the hospital, Fia was quiet and did not oppose Jessie anymore. She also did not
argue about listening to her father sing Despicable Me Versions.
The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Fia got off the car and did not let Jessie carry her.
Fia was wearing a pink blue short down jacket with two large pockets on both sides.
The little girl’s two little hands were inserted into the big pockets of the down jacket as she silently walked towards the hospital.
Jessie was quite surprised but after looking at Fia’s back a few times, she felt that something was not right.
When the nurse inserted the needles, Fia was also quiet. Not to mention howling like yesterday, she did not even make a sound at this moment.
Coincidentally, it was the nurse from yesterday again.
The nurse inserted the needle and looked at Jessie a few times.
The nurse’s eyes were filled with doubt.
It was as if she suspected that Jessie had tortured the little girl to make her suddenly become so obedient.
When the infusion was done, Jessie pinched Fia’s cold little hands and placed them on the side of the bed, “Do you want to watch TV? I will play the cartoon that you like to watch?”
Fia shook her head and did not have any strength.
Jessie went in front of Fia, “Where do you feel uncomfortable?”
Fia shook her head and lowered her small face.
In just a few seconds, there were tears dripping down Fia’s face, all the way into the white blanket.
Jessie was shocked, “Fia, why are you crying?”
Fia lifted up her small red face and sobbed pitifully, “Mommy. Are you going to give me and brother to grandma? After you and dad get married, don’t you want us to go to N City to follow
grandma?”
That tone was as scary.
Jessie’s heart ached for Fia. Jessie took a tissue over and gently wiped the tears on Fia’s face,” Why do you think so? If you don’t want to go to Grandma’s house, your father and I will not send you there. It was your grandma who wanted to see you that specially came over to see you. You still have to go to school, how could you let her take you away?”
Fia’s eyes were completely red as she looked at Jessie.
Jessie’s heart was shattered by Fia’s gaze. She hugged Fia’s little shoulders and said, “You have already called me Mommy. As long as Fia does not hate me, I will definitely do my best to love you and Big Brother. As long as you are willing, we will always be together and no one can separate us.”
Today Fia only lost a small bottle of liquid and it would be over in half an hour.
Jessie threw away the cotton on the back of Fia’s hand and pulled her out of the hospital.
Along the way, Fia was expressionless but she was very obedient.
When they walked out of the door, Fia pulled Jessie’s hand. “Where are you taking me to?”
Jessie could tell that Fia was worried that Jessie would send her to kindergarten.
Jessie also did not know what Fia was thinking. Once Fia went to school, it was as if Fia wanted her life.
Jessie looked at Fia’s blinking big eyes and wanted to tease her, “Go to kindergarten. Don’t you still have half a day of class?”
Fia suddenly fell into Jessie’s embrace, “I feel dizzy!”
Seeing Jessie still smiling, it was as if she did not agree.
Fia even went closer to Jessie’s embrace, “My legs are soft.”
Jessie laughed and picked Fia up. “I will let you rest for another day. Shall we go to the coffee shop?”
“Then I want to eat strawberry cake.”
“Okay.”
“I still want to hear Dad sing the yellow Mount Tais.”
Alex drove an Audi over and changed the car with Driver Bart. He opened the door of the Bentley and let Jessie carry the child inside.
When Jessie entered, she looked up at Alex, who was holding the door.
Alex did not say anything. He pinched Jessie’s shoulder and said, “Get in the car.”
“Let’s go to the coffee shop. Mommy wants me to go to the coffee shop to help.” Fia was afraid that
Jessie would change her mind and spoke first.
In order to avoid Alex saying that she spoiled the child, Jessie took the small schoolbag that he brought and quickly said, “I will help her make up for the past two days of homework.”
Fia stared at Jessie.
Jessie smiled and pretended not to see.
After sending Fia and Jessie to the coffee shop, Alex rolled down the window.
Jessie tacitly let go of Fia’s hand and ran over.
Alex turned his head and looked at Jessie, “Go out for dinner tonight and wait for me in the shop.”
Jessie thought of the sweet mother in Mountain and River Residence and could not help but ask, “I s Grandma not happy that you are happy with me?”
“You don’t need to care.”
Alex’s words made Jessie feel at ease. In the current situation, Jessie actually wanted to help him share some of the burden, but she also knew that her ability was limited and could not help him at all.
Alex seemed to feel Jessie’s depression and his eyes softened, “Put your head in.”
Jessie thought that Alex wanted to say something that did not let Fia hear, so she followed Alex’s instructions and laid her hands on the window frame. She stuck her head in and stared at him with her eyes wide open.
Alex bent his head and pecked Jessie’s lips lightly. His voice was even lower and softer, “You just need to look at me. Leave the rest to me, understand?”
Jessie was kissed by Alex until her face turned red. She retreated and did not answer his words.
Sally and Rafael were both in the store.
Rafael brought two boxes of freshly made cake for Fia.
Sally ran over, picked Fia up, and kissed her a few times. “You’re skipping class again, right?”
“She just went to the hospital for infusion. Fia had a high fever last night. I just called her to take a leave of absence. I will take her there to tutor her.” Jessie entered the store.
When Fia heard that she wanted to tutor, she shouted. “I am here to help!”
“Really? Alright, help me tidy up the fridge with fruits.” Sally smiled and carried Fia to the kitchen.
When Fia heard that the fridge was filled with fruits, her expression changed when she smelled it. She asked Jessie for help, “Mommy, save me!”
Previously, Sally had also asked Fia to tidy up the fridge. Sally was like a witch compared to her mommy. Sally did not treat her as a five-year-old child at all and mercilessly ordered Fia.
Jessie laughed out loud. “If you don’t want to tidy up the fridge, then what about the tuition?” Fia hastily replied. She nodded. “I will go and do my homework now!”
