62. He’s Gone Through so Much Trouble to Help Us
His tone was too ambiguous and Jessie did not want to answer. She pretended not to hear him clearly, “Your clothes are not clean. Go and change your clothes.”
Alex’s phone rang. He shook her hand, “There is no hurry. Let’s finish dealing with the Orange Garden first.”
Jessie looked up at him in disbelief. “Do you want to help me pick the orange?”
Alex pinched her small chin. He picked up the phone and followed Jouvita and the others towards the fruit garden.
“Aunt Jeje, I think you should not hold too much hope.” Felix held his hands in his pockets and looked at his father’s back as if he was a little adult.
“I think so too.” Fia also came over and held Jessie’s hand. “My father has never done anything like peeling an orange!”
Jessie was amused by the two of them, “Really? Your dad doesn’t even know how to peel an orange?”
“Anyway, I‘ve never seen him peel an orange.” Fia nodded.
“Then let’s go and take a look?” Jessie was very curious. Alex had always given people the feeling that he was too powerful, as if he was omnipotent in this world. The more perfect a person was, the more she wanted to see his embarrassing side.
“Alright.” The three of them reached an agreement.
Each of them ate a persimmon and ran back to the fruit garden. What surprised them was that Alex really disappointed them.
They did not think that Alex would embarrass himself at all.
Instead, Alex was rolling up his sleeves and commanding the workers in the food processing factory in an orderly manner in the fruit garden. He was tall and straight, had a calm and handsome face, and looked like a general who guided the country.
The setting sun shone on his body and seemed to have covered him with a thin layer of golden light.
Jessie could not help but be somewhat dazzled by it.
Was she really qualified to have such a man?
One basket after another, baskets of orange were transported out, weighed, and loaded. It was highly efficient and basically did not have any losses.
Having planted fruits for so many years, the fruits in the past had never been sold so easily
and at such a high price. Jessie’s grandfather and grandmother were so happy that they could not close their mouths.
Jouvita stood beside Jessie and said meaningfully, “Alex is really good to you. To him, this little bit of money is nothing. He went through so much trouble to help us all because of you.” Jessie looked at the extraordinary man in the crowd without moving at all. Her heart felt sweet and astringent.
With so many things going on, anyone would be touched.
However, Jessie had just walked out of a sweet and painful relationship. It was said that a snake would be afraid of a rope that was bitten by a snake for ten years. Furthermore, Jessie had not fully recovered from the injuries she had suffered from Mike.
The wind would pass without a trace, and people’s hearts would change easily.
It was probably because Alex was sincere that he was willing to lower his body and do these things for her. But who could guarantee that he would not change after. He was in such a high place. He would come into contact with many different kinds of women. Even Yoferyna, a woman whom he had only met once, would easily covet such a man. What right did Jessie have to think that she could make him be loyal to her?
She was not afraid of losing him, but she was afraid that her heart would turn cold and fall into despair…
After putting away the orange and eating dinner, Jessie went back home to give the two little fellows a bath. After they looked at their tablets or played games, she started to get busy again.
She started to pack Felix and Fia’s clothes.
Jessie saw that they liked persimmon, so she packed up a box of fresh persimmon and went t o the store in town that specialized in making persimmon cakes to buy it. In addition, she also packed some of the Nanchuan specialty products that they liked for the two little guys.
Looking at the increasing number of boxes in the room, Felix vaguely felt that they were really going to leave.
Although he hadn’t received an official notice from his father, his mood had already started t o deteriorate.
After Jessie went out to buy things again, Felix walked to the backyard and saw that his father was smoking while answering the work call,
He walked around in the backyard and picked up a peach tree branch to play with. After Alex finished talking, he saw that Felix was still walking around. He did not make a sound and continued smoking his own cigarette.
Felix saw that his father did not talk on the phone. He grabbed the peach and ran over. He looked up at his father and said, “Dad, are we going back?”
Alex cast a sidelong glance at him and nodded. “Yes.”
The glimmer of hope that Felix still had was completely shattered. The little guy’s pretty face collapsed. “So fast.”
“You don’t want to leave?”
Felix scratched his head, “I don’t want to, but…”
Alex was impatient. “Be a man and be straightforward!”
Felix stood up straight and mustered up his courage to say, “I want Aunt Jeje to go back with us! I don’t want Dad to go on blind dates with other aunties! I want Dad to marry Aunt Jeje! I want her to be our new mommy!”
After a pause, he added another sentence. “Fia has the same opinion as me!”
Therefore, if they were to vote, they would also have two votes!
Alex frowned and flicked the cigarette butt out. He stared at him for a few seconds. “Who said she is your new mommy?”
Felix’s heart sank. “Do you really not like Aunt Jeje?” “She is your mother!” Alex said and turned around to enter the house.
Use
Felix was stunned. After thinking for a while, he smiled happily and flew into the house.” Dad, do you mean Aunt Jeje will also leave with us?”
Alex tidied his luggage in the room and smiled meaningfully. “Before that, help me do something first.”
“Okay! No problem!” Felix was so excited that his face lit up. “Dad, just say it.”

Actually, he did not understand why he was so excited. He had always been a rational child. But this time, he was excited. He couldn’t control it at all!
Furthermore, he did not think that Jessie, this woman, was very outstanding and smart. On the contrary, sometimes her IQ was on par with Fia’s. They were all silly, but he just liked her.
It was only later on that he finally understood why he was especially happy when he found out that he wanted to become family with her. So, that was the feeling of being blood related… Even after being separated for so many years, the bloodline relationship would never disappear because of this…
—
Jessie only stopped when she was busy until midnight.
Felix and Fia were already asleep. She took a shower and laid down beside them. She used her elbow to support her chin and looked at their small faces for a long time.
When she looked at them, her heart ached.
In the future, she would never see them again, right?
Just thinking about this, Jessie felt her heart being pulled by something heavy. It kept dragging her heart into the bottomless abyss…
The door opened and her eyes met the tall figure who walked in. She hurriedly lowered her head and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Alex walked to the desk and opened the drawer. When he saw the unopened envelope, he frowned slightly and asked her in a low voice, “Haven’t you seen it yet?”
Jessie did not say anything.
When she heard him say he wanted to give her something, she remembered the first time she met him. That day, he gave her a huge cheque.
She guessed that this time, he might think that she saved Fia, so he would give her another cheque.
She would not cash such a cheque, so she did not even think about opening it to take a look.
Alex took out the document bag, “Come to the room downstairs!”
Jessie remembered last night and felt embarrassed and shy in her heart. She pretended not t o hear him and closed her eyes, not moving.
Alex walked to the door and did not hear her getting up. He turned his head and said in a deep voice, “You want me to carry you?”
Jessie raised her head and stared at him.
Alex ignored Jessie’s temper and started to walk over.
Jessie bit her lips tightly and could only get up to put on her shoes. She gently helped the two children cover themselves before walking out lightly.
When she reached the room downstairs, she had just walked in when Alex’s good-looking big hand held the file bag in front of her and handed it to her. “Open it!”
Jessie did not take it. She pursed her lips and stared at him.
He had just taken a shower and only wore a light gray V-collar T-shirt and dark pants. His eyes were as deep as the sea, making her inexplicably flustered.
Suddenly, she had a feeling… This document bag might not be a cheque.
But if it wasn’t a check, what could it be?
Under his gaze, she felt even more pressured. She turned her head and looked elsewhere. “No matter what’s inside, I won’t take it. I’ll go up.”
Just as she turned around, the man suddenly grabbed her slender shoulder and pressed her against the door. “You said you don’t need it without even looking. What do you think is inside?”
His actions instead made Jessie afraid. Her almond eyes flickered with panic. “I said I don’t want it. Let me go upstairs.”
“I put down a bunch of things and came here. Do you really think I am just here to pick up the child?” Not only did Alex not let go, but he also pressed on her hand tighter. “Listen to me. Take a look first!”
“I said, I don’t want to and I don’t want to look!” Jessie’s heart was beating very fast. She could not help but push him with her hands.
“Okay, if you don’t look, I will tell you.” Alex threw the document on the table at the side and put his hand on the door behind her. His tall and mighty body bent slightly and he pinched her dodging chin. He forced
her to look at him and said in a low voice, “Six years ago, you had an agreement with someone…”
There was a loud bang.
Jessie’s brain suddenly exploded.
A few seconds later, her face turned pale and her apricot-like eyes seemed to have forgottent o blink. She continued to stare at his dark and deep eyes.
Alex did not plan to let her go. “Have you ever thought about why you happen to match Fia’s blood type, and it is such a rare blood type?”
Jessie’s body began to tremble violently. She raised her hand to cover her ears and shouted i na trembling voice, “Shut up! Shut up! Don’t say anymore…”
“The two of them never get close to strangers. They feel especially close to you when they see you. Do you know why?” On the contrary, Alex was getting tighter and harder.

Jessie immediately squatted down in front of him and begged with a pale face, “Please, don’t say it again…”
“You only think of that money and never thought that those sold by you would one day become living lives?”
Felix, Fia! They could be…
She did not dare to think any further and forcefully pushed him away. She snatched the door
and fled.
She ran to the second floor and only calmed down a little when she entered the room and saw
the two sleeping children.
Her legs felt weak. She threw herself by the bed and looked at the two little fellows who were immersed in their dreams. Her heart seemed to be gripped by something, and the pain was difficult to suppress.
