Billionaire's Sweetheart

Chapter 787

Felicity stayed in the bedroom until the children returned from school. The two little fellows opened the door and ran in.

"Mummy, there's an uncle downstairs. He just gave us toys!" Arya said with a happy expression.

Felicity frowned: "What gift did he give you?"

"He gave us a lot of toys and some good food. Grandmother said he was our uncle, but didn't we only have one uncle?" Arya blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.

Abraham pouted at the side. "He's Father's younger cousin, of course we'll call him uncle!"

Felicity really did not think that this Jack Hughes would actually think of even a gift from two children.

"Arya, Abraham, listen to Mummy carefully. If that uncle asks you any questions, you must not spout nonsense, okay? Whatever he wants to ask about your father, do not say it!" Felicity was really afraid that the children would be naive, she said everything out of curiosity.

Abraham crossed his arms in front of his chest and said indifferently: "Mummy, this uncle isn't here to steal from dad, right?"

Felicity was shocked by her son's mature words. After that, she shook her head: "I don't know what he's doing, but in the future, don't take the initiative to get close to him."

"Alright, since Mummy has said so, we will definitely ignore him." Abraham answered as if he was a small adult.

Arya also nodded her head: "Mummy, don't worry, I won't speak with him."

Felicity realized that the two children had grown up a lot. Not only were they taller, they also had smart little brains.

Around five in the evening, Jack felt bored and went for a walk alone in the garden.

He knew that Edward had constructed a green colored corridor in his villa, with quite a few nice things inside. He wanted to take a look by himself, but just as he walked to the side of the corridor, he heard a few gardeners chatting on the ground.

Just in time Jack heard Claire's name.

He immediately dodged to the side and hid behind a green plant.

"Did you see that man from last time?" I heard Miss Felicity call him father, but how did her father appear together with Mr. Hughes's mother? "

"I'm not sure. They seem very close."

"Isn't this relationship too messy? Mr. Hughes wants to marry Miss Claire, but his mother is together with Miss Claire's father. Alas this doesn't seem too moral."

"Don't talk nonsense and be careful not to let the butler hear it. Otherwise your salary will be deducted." NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

When the gardeners heard that their wages were to be deducted, they quickly stopped talking, drank their tea, and went back to work.

Jack walked out from behind the plants, looking at the scattered gardeners, his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"Looks like this trip was worth it, as expected, the Hughes Family had all sorts of secrets."

"Which man would Lareina appear with?" Even though Jack was still young, he could still clearly remember what had happened back then.

Edward's mother abandoned her children and resolutely married into the White's Family, becoming Wayne White's lover.

But when the gardener mentioned Felicity calling that man his father, was that man Wayne White?

Jack frowned, he was extremely confused. Claire's surname was Smith. How could she be related to Wayne White?

It seemed that he needed to investigate this matter further.

When Edward returned to the Hughes Family, it was already seven o'clock. When he stepped in the house, he made Jack, who was sitting on the sofa, feel a sense of pressure.

Jack, who had been hanging in Hughes Family all day, had always been in a relaxed state of mind. He had always wanted to find a few more opportunities to chat with Claire, but this woman had always been hiding in her room, not coming out.

But now, with Edward here, Jack's nerves immediately tensed up, and did not dare to relax for even a moment.

"Cousin, you're back!" Jack immediately stood up and greeted with a smile.

"Eh, why didn't you inform me in advance when you returned to your hometown so that I could get someone to pick you up at the airport?" However, Edward's face was indifferent, neither cold nor hot, and it was hard to tell what his expression was.

Jack immediately shook his head and laughed: "No need, I'm just here to visit my grandparents. I've been busy with work recently and have come to see them for some time, if I don't return, my grandparents will blame me for not being filial."

The old lady sat beside him and scolded him jokingly, "I really want to scold you. You haven't come to see us for so long. All you care about is work."

"Why didn't Uncle come back with you?" Edward lazily sat on the sofa and asked with an indifferent voice.

Jack immediately laughed awkwardly: "My dad just came out and isn't used to the environment outside, after a while, he will return to his country. Actually, my dad told me to apologize to Cousin, l'm really sorry about what happened that year."

When he mentioned that year, the old lady's expression changed.

Edward snorted. "Was just an apology enough to write off all harm your father did to me?"

Jack's expression froze, he did not know how to reply.

The old lady saw that the atmosphere had become tense and quickly said, "Alright, let's not talk about the past today. Let's have a good family reunion."

Seeing that his grandmother was not willing to talk about what had happened many years ago, Edward did not dare to bring it up again and could see that his grandfather and grandmother still loved Jack a lot.

Although in that year, because of John, Jack had given up his company's shares,

Edward knew that his grandfather had invested more than five billion into him, and now, hearing that he had even made a company that was listed, Edward could tell that he was pretty capable, and after not seeing him for a few years, he realized that Jack had become more tactful, and was even more reserved. He was John's most capable assistant, so he definitely could not underestimate him.

During the banquet, Felicity was responsible for taking care of the two little fellows.

Edward had also become silent, and only the old man would occasionally ask Jack.

After dinner, Jack took the initiative to go to the old man's room and play chess with him to relieve his boredom. The old man was naturally very happy.

Felicity told the two children to go to Toy Room to play for an hour before they took a bath, and the two little fellows ran off.

Edward untied the suit jacket and tugged at its tie with a gloomy face. He only became slightly gentler after Felicity entered the bedroom.

"During the meal, he seemed to have been secretly watching you!" The man's voice carried a hint of jealousy.

In the next second, he wrapped his arm around the woman and gently hugged her to his chest. His thin lips pressed against her shoulder. "Don't look at him!"
