97. At Most You Have a Bad Temper
After making breakfast, Jessie went to the children’s room to call for the children.
Felix had already dressed and went to Fia’s room to call her.
“Fia, wake up.” Jessie knelt on one leg on the bed and picked up the little girl with long hair that was hanging loosely under the blanket.
A sound suddenly sounded in the air.
Fia woke up and her little face turned red as she randomly pointed at Felix who was by the bedside. “I wasn’t me! It was him!”
Felix was speechless and laughed, “No one disliked your fart.”
“Felix, if you say it again, I will ignore you!”
Jessie smiled and carried the little girl into her arms. “It’s okay. You are very cute.”
Fia covered her small face that was like a red apple, “How embarrassing.”
After breakfast, Alex sent them off.
Felix and Fia were very excited when they heard Jessie was going to open a coffee shop. They asked for help.
Jessie pinched their tender hands. “Okay. I have a task for you guys now. Help me think of a shop name. Tell me everything you have thought of. When the time comes, we will choose one of them.”
Alex glanced at her from the rearview mirror.
She really dared to ask two five-year-old children to come up with a shop name. Fia was very excited, “Can you really use the name I gave you?” She had grown up and had always been treated as a child who did not know anything. She did not have the right to speak.
However, Felix was the same age as her, but her grandparents were willing to listen to his opinion.
Jessie actually let her participate in the matter of naming the shop. This feeling of being valued was really great!
Jessie smiled and nodded. “Yes, all of you think about it together. But you are not allowed to think about it in class. Think about it when you are free. We will decide on this Sunday.”
“Okay, Mommy.” He picked up his short arms and put his short legs back into the chair. He leaned against the back of the chair and looked like he was seriously thinking about it.
Fia mimicked him and raised a small hand to hit her chin. She seemed to think for a few seconds and her big eyes lit up. “Mommy, how about using my name?”
Felix sneered at her. “Childish!”
Jessie also smiled and shook her head. “Of course your name sounds good. But I don’t want to let too many strangers know my baby’s name.”
Fia thought for a few more seconds and quickly thought of another one, “How about ‘Fragrant coffee shop’? How is it?”
Felix mercilessly scoffed. She said, “Vulgar!”
Fia was so angry that she kept shouting. “You are the one who is vulgar!”
But they were clearly a family!
After sending the children to school, Alex opened the passenger door and let Jessie sit in.
He started the car and casually said, “I’ll get the Planning Department to give you a name.”
“No need.” Jessie fastened her seatbelt and shook her head to refuse, “Felix and Fia will help
me get it.”
Alex stretched out his hand to hold her soft hand. He did not mention the name of the store anymore and pretended not to know the address. He casually asked her, “Where is the address? I’ll send you there.”
Jessie looked up at him and smiled. “I want to surprise you. I won’t tell you for now. Just stop at the intersection in front. I’ll go by myself.”
Alex reached out a big hand and pinched her pink cheeks. He stopped the car at the intersection and turned his hand behind her head. He lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Jessie subconsciously looked outside the car. The last time she was knocked on the window b y the volunteer auntie, she still had lingering fear as long as she kissed in the car.
Seeing her nervous look, Alex could not help but laugh. “You are still young. You always shy even when kissing.”
“I am younger than you!” Jessie blushed and whispered. She pushed open the car door and walked quickly
After taking a few steps, she could not help but take another step. She turned around and shyly bit her lower lip and waved at him in the car.
She was wearing a white, loose high-collar sweater, blue jeans, white shoes, and a simple bun. In the morning sun of the early winter, she looked like a little warm sun.
When she waved a slender, white hand at him, her expression was so shy that it was cute and
seductive.
Alex did not respond to her wave of a hand. He started the car and sped past her.
When he brushed past her, the thin lips of the man in the car obviously showed a happy smile.
Jessie curled her lips and turned around to run to the bus station.
Alex saw her back through the rearview mirror. He slowed down the car and watched her get on the bus before speeding up again.
His phone rang. It was a call from Sammy.
He answered the call, and his lips were still slightly curled up.
“You took the shop from me and rented it to two beautiful women? What’s your relationship with them?” When Sammy heard the news, he immediately called to express his gratitude.
“What relationship do you think it is?” Alex asked with a smile. He did not wait for him to answer and continued, “When you come back, I will introduce you to each other.”
Sammy was stunned for a few seconds. Soon, the smile on his face became bigger and bigger. “My future sister-in-law? That’s what you mean, right?”
“Yes.” Alex was in a good mood. He did not complain about his exaggerated reaction and calmly gave him an affirmative answer.
“It wasn’t easy. I’ll book the nearest flight and come back now. I want to be the first to see my new sister- in-law among my brothers!”
x laughed. “She’s my wife, not your wife. Come back after
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Al you’ve finished your vacation!”
“It’s even rarer for you to find a wife than to bump into a planet on Mars. Of course, I’m in a hurry to meet her. I want to see who exactly she is. She can actually take down a man as difficult as you.”
“I’m very difficult to deal with?” Alex’s smile was cold.
“Did I say that? I didn’t say it. You must have misheard me. At most, you have a bad temper and cruel means. Everything else is pretty good.”
“I think you don’t want to come back from Jiya Island?”
“Don’t be so petty. Let me tell you, you must be thick-skinned enough. This way, your wife will definitely love you more than now.”
“Go to the side!”
“No matter what, you can take the initiative to suggest that we introduce your woman. Spending money to set up a shop for her, you are worried that she will feel pressured. If you don’t let her know, it proves that you really like her. We‘re very pleased. Congratulations!”
Sammy said in a rare serious tone, “Do you remember? The last time you married that lady from the Horfoud family. You didn’t introduce her to us. It was her who told us about the two o f you.”
Alex thought of Gina and fell silent.
When Jessie arrived at the store, Sally had already arrived.
There were several trucks parked at the entrance of the store. One Deliveryman after another moved the equipment, electrical appliances, and tables into the store.
Jessie had only discussed with Sally yesterday about how to arrange the specific arrangements. They had not decided what kind of tables, chairs, and bar counters they wanted to buy
Just as she was surprised, Sally was instructing the Deliveryman how to arrange it as she walked out of the shop.
Seeing Jessie walk over, she smiled and asked loudly: “Hurry up! Look at how I set it up. I’m sorry, I didn’t get your permission, so I brought all of these here.”
Jessie looked at the decorations in the store that had already started to take shape and really liked it. There were all kinds of professional coffee machines, food processing equipment, water system equipment, and other auxiliary equipment, including many consumables.
The marble material table, the wooden tables and chairs. Jessie especially liked every one of them. “It’s been hard on you, Sally. You didn’t sleep last night to choose these, right?”
She thought that all of these were things that Sally chose online last night and settled the bill. That was why there were Deliverymans sent over today.
“It’s not hard. Actually, it’s a friend of mine.” Sally’s eyes flickered as she chuckled. “He once opened a coffee shop before. Later, he had other matters to attend to, so he didn’t open it. The things were all piled up in his warehouse. When he heard that we were going to open a shop, I brought all those things over. He also wanted to get rid of these things a long time ago, so the price he gave us was very cheap.”
“Is that so? Is there such a good thing?” Jessie was also happy when she heard that. “But why have I never heard you talk about such a friend before?”
“Ah? Is that so? Then I might have forgotten.” Sally scratched her head.
“Luckily you have such a good friend.” Jessie hugged her very gratefully, “How much did he charge? I will give the money to you.”
“Okay.” Sally secretly let out a sigh of relief and reported the price she had thought of beforehand
The price was much lower than Jessie had expected and Jessie suggested to wait for the
store to open and let Sally invite that friend over for a meal.
“I will listen to you. We will talk about it when the time comes.”
“This store will definitely bring us luck!” Jessie was in a very good mood. She took a pair of gloves and an old shirt, put them on, and prepared to tidy up the store.
“Hello, may I ask who is Miss Jessie?” A middle-aged man walked in and asked respectfully. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Jessie did not know him and walked over with a smile, “I am. Who are you?”
“Our Chairman and madam want to see you. They are outside.” The middle-aged man bowed slightly and said to the outside.
Jessie and Sally looked at each other. She subconsciously thought of the grandparents of the two children.
“Go quickly. Leave the store to me.” Sally urged her.
Jessie nodded and her heart was once again filled with nervousness. Even though her child’s grandmother had already accepted her. But she had yet to see her child’s grandfather.
A black Mercedes-Benz stopped at the side of the road a few meters away. When Jessie walked over, the car door was quickly pushed open and a woman with an elegant and graceful appearance walked out. She was not the grandmother of the children and Jessie did not know her.
