Chapter 296 Jealous Cynthia noticed the bruise at the corner of Jaksonâs mouth and frowned. âAre you okay? The bar yesterday... Your injury looks quite serious.â
Jakson touched the wound at the corner of his mouth and shook his head. âThe person has been controlled. He should be specially sent to make trouble. Fortunately, no big problems. I was busy until this morning and didnât have time to deal with the bruise.â
He smiled as she said, but his big smile pulled his injury, making him canât help gasping with pain. Keller heard it, ran over worriedly, and asked, âUncle Jakson, are you okay? Does it hurt? Let me blow your wound.â
Jakson squatted down, touched her head, and said softly, âNo. It doesnât hurt at all.â
But when Keller saw the bruise, she leaned her face forward and blew twice at the wound. Alston, on the side, saw this scene and felt jealous.
Knowing that Alston sent someone to do what happened last night, Cynthia felt guilty and a little embarrassed about Jaksonâs wound, so she quickly asked Mrs. Lewis to bring the medicine box.
âFortunately, there are all kinds of medicine at home. Deal with your wound. After all, you are the owner of the bar. Itâs not good to go out with the wound.â
Hearing what she said, Jakson agreed. Greg applied the medicine and stuck two band-aids for him. He looked in the mirror and said to Cynthia, âDoes it look a bit ugly?â
Cynthia was amused because she didnât expect him to care about appearance so much. Then she quickly said, âNo, no. Very handsome!â
Only then did Jakson laugh. The band-aids made him look wildly handsome.
Keller and Desmond stared at him with sparkling eyes and exclaimed, âUncle Jakson, you are so handsome!â
Alston hit the table with his fist with a bang.
The four looked over at the same time. âWhatâs wrong?â
âNothing.â
Alston retracted his hand, walked over with a smile, picked up his chubby daughter, pulled Cynthia in his arms, and looked at Jakson. âMr. Carter, thank you for taking care of my two children during these three years. I donât know how to repay you. If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to me. I will try my best to help you as long as possible.â
He said politely, but he swore crazily in his heart. âHurry up and get out. Donât come to our home again. Donât visit my wife and my children!â
Jakson met his defensive eyes and smiled. âNever mind. Cynthia saved me before. Thatâs what I should do. Keller and Desmond are very cute, and I like them.â
âSince you like children so much, you should get married early and have your own child. You are not too young!â Alston held Cynthia a little tighter.
Jakson bit his lower lip and then chuckled lightly. âI better not. Iâm not sure if my child will be as cute as Keller and Desmond in the future, and I also hope to find a wife like Cynthia, maybe to give birth to such a lovely child.â
The meaning of Jaksonâs words was evident. Alston clenched his fist tightly, and Cynthia was also a little embarrassed. The atmosphere was tense.
At this time, Gigi came out of the room and paused when she saw Jakson. She stood at the door and observed for a while. âThis tall man looks handsome and dresses well. He should be rich. A possessiveness in his eyes couldnât be ignored when he looked at Cynthia.â
âHe likes Cynthia?â
âAlthough the affection in his eyes has been deliberately concealed, it will still be revealed inadvertently,â Gigi thought.
A trace of jealousy flashed in Gigiâs eyes. She didnât expect such an excellent man would like Cynthia. Thinking of Alston also doting on her so much, Gigi felt so jealous. She thought Cynthia had nothing but a relatively handsome face and a not-bad background. âWhat qualifies her to be liked by so many people?â Gigi couldnât help but ask furiously in her heart.
Thinking of this, Gigi forgot Alston and Cynthiaâs warnings to her, walked over, and pretended to look at Jakson curiously. âAh, I was in the room just now and didnât even know there was a guest.â
Jakson heard the voice and looked over. He thought it should be the woman Alston brought back. He looked down at the womanâs belly, and a smile touched the corner of his mouth.
âInteresting. Bring back a pregnant woman after being missing for three years,â he thought.
Seeing Gigi coming out, Alston frowned. âWhat are you doing?â
âI... I heard someone talking outside. I was alone in the room... I...â She said as she touched her pregnant belly with an aggrieved expression.
Seeing this, Cynthia looked at Gigi and smiled meaningfully. âIt just so happens that Alston and I have also considered this issue.
After all, you are pregnant, and it is not good for you to stay in the room all the time, so that we will send you to another place.
That community has a beautiful environment and fresh air, suitable for recuperation during pregnancy. It is inconvenient for you to live alone there, so I will pick a few servants and send them to take care of you.â
âYou! You want to drive me away!â Gigi immediately lost her composure when she heard what Cynthia said.
Although she deliberately stimulated and angered Cynthia before, Cynthia just let her stay in the room and didnât drive her out. She initially thought it was Alston who put pressure on Cynthia, which made Cynthiaâs plan fail.
Although people in the Smith family didnât like her, she didnât take it seriously. She believed that as long as she stayed by Alstonâs side, he would truly notice her existence one day. If she were brought away from the Smith family and couldnât see Alston for a long time, according to his personality, he would forget her name when he saw her in the future.
âI... I wonât leave. Donât imagine that it is possible to drive me away!â Gigiâs eyes suddenly turned red, and she stared at Cynthia.
Alston pulled Cynthia behind him without any trace and said to Gigi, âThis is my decision.â
âImpossible!â Gigi didnât believe it was Alstonâs decision. She felt Alston must be defending Cynthia. In her opinion, even if Alston didnât like her, he wouldnât drive her out, so it must be that Cynthia said something to him.
âGigi, pack it in! This is the Smith family. My wife and children live here. You are pregnant. So many people live here, and the environment is not quite enough to let you recuperate during your pregnancy. Both the environment and the scenery are suitable there.â Alston saw her unwillingness, and a trace of irritability and impatience flashed between his brows.
Gigi noticed this trace of emotion. She knew she should restrain her feelings at this time. If she continued to oppose, the results might be even worse.
She closed her mouth and clenched her hem tightly. She lowered her head, looking aggrieved and helpless.
Jakson witnessed all this, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes. He didnât expect Gigi to be quite sensible. After all, she looked like a fool at first glance. However, sometimes fools would do something unexpected.
He sneered in his heart. He had a premonition that as long as the matter between Gigi and Alston didnât be solved, there would be lots of problems between Alston and Cynthia. They might separate without his intervention.
After Alston pulled behind Cynthia, she didnât say anything else. Alston brought Gigi back and placed her there. What should be done was his own business, so it would be better for him to deal with it himself. If she intervened, she would be involved in unnecessary troubles, which was not worth it.
After Alston finished speaking, he told Greg to ask someone to pack Gigiâs things and move there in the afternoon.
Greg nodded and said to Gigi, âMiss Gigi, I will send someone to clean up the house over there immediately, and then I will help you move there when you pack up. If you need anything, please let me know, and I will buy all the goods.â
Gigi bit her lower lip and nearly pierced it. She didnât expect they couldnât wait to drive her out, which didnât give her any buffer time.
She glanced at Cynthia with hatred, and when people looked over, she quickly restrained her emotions and acted obediently.
âOkay, I see. Thank you!â
Seeing that she had no objection, Greg took her to the room and asked her to make a list so that he could send someone to buy in the afternoon.
Seeing her leave, Alston glanced at Jakson. âThere was something like that at your bar night, and you must be swamped today.â
As soon as these words came out of Alstonâs mouth, Jakson knew Alston wanted him to leave for fear of letting him see a joke, so he smiled immediately and got to his feet. âYes. I still have to finish the thing, so I must go now.â
Keller hugged the toy with a look of reluctance. âUncle Jakson, can you go later?â
Desmond said, âUncle Jakson, you havenât taught me the next move...â
â
Alston bent down, touched the heads of the two children, and said in an unquestionable tone, âBe good. Uncle Jakson has something else to do, so donât bother him. I will buy you whatever you want later. If Desmond wants to learn kung fu, I will arrange for someone to teach you and tailor a learning plan so that you can better protect your sister and mother...â
Jakson frowned when he heard Alstonâs words. Alstonâs intentions were too evident.
Alston didnât want these two children to come into contact with him again!
