Ex-Husband’s Regret: Barren Mommy Has Quadruplets

Chapter 175 Pretend Drunk and Deceive Others, Isn’t He Good at It? 

Jason saw the expression on her face and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted. He deliberately asked, “What’s wrong?”

He was doing it on purpose!

Don’t think she didn’t notice him smirking!

Alta felt inexplicably anxious and gritted her teeth, replying, “Nothing!”

Jason nodded like he hadn’t noticed her emotions and said, “Water.”

But he didn’t reach out to take it. Instead, he looked at Alta. His gaze was like signaling her to feed him.

Alta was extremely speechless. She could only assume that he was extremely drunk to behave so shamelessly.

With great patience, she brought the cup close to his lips and fed him the water.

After Jason finished drinking, he licked his lips with a pleased expression. He said, “This medicine is quite sweet.”

Those words without context left Alta stunned.

If she remembered correctly, medicine was supposed to taste bitter, right?

It seemed that this man was truly drunk and started to talk nonsense.

“Rest well.”

Alta casually dropped this sentence and couldn’t be bothered to pay any more attention to him. She turned around and walked away

Donovan, who had been playing chess all this while, had been keeping an eye on their interactions. When he saw Alta walking away, he chuckled and said, “Good for nothing.”

Jason heard it but didn’t retort. His thin lips curled up imperceptibly!

Later, Cindy couldn’t hold up her spirits anymore and started feeling sleepy. She wanted to take a nap. Donovan had finished playing chess with Edward and got up to return home.

Jason left together with them.

As soon as they got into the car, he leaned against the seat and closed his eyes to rest. However, he was scolded by Donovan.

“Don’t pretend. You’re pretending to be drunk now, and Alta can’t see it.”

Jason slowly opened his eyes and his gaze was quite calm. There was no hint of drunkenness in his deep and cold eyes.

Donovan confirmed his thoughts and looked at Jason with some disdain. He said, “Pretending to be drunk and deceiving her into feeding you medicine, aren’t you good at it? If you had realized it earlier, your wife wouldn’t have left!”

“I was indeed drunk just now.”

Jason said, his face neither blushing nor breathless.

Donovan heard him still being stubborn. He snorted and said, “Alright then. After I go back, I’ll have someone gather information about the talented young men in the capital. Then, make a photo album for her to choose from!”

Upon hearing this, Jason narrowed his eyes. He glanced at Donovan and remained silent.

Twenty minutes later.

He dropped off Donovan at the ancestral home and went directly to the company.

By three in the afternoon.

Two figures appeared at the entrance of the Hill’s ancestral home.

It was Eaton.

He was accompanied by a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, walking inside.

At that moment, Donovan was sitting in the hall and listening to a musical drama. When he saw the visitors, he raised an eyebrow in confusion and asked, “Who is this person?”

He looked somewhat unfamiliar.

Eaton led the man to approach Donovan. He smiled and replied, “Well, it’s like this. Mr. Hill thinks you need someone to take care of your health, so he especially finds a fitness trainer for you.”

He pointed to the middle-aged man beside him and continued, “This is Master Jeff. He’s a shadow boxing master. He used to be a martial arts champion and a national-level boxing artist in his youth. Mr. Hill means you could practice shadow boxing in your spare time to stay fit.”

Practice shadow boxing?

Seeing Master Jeff in his shadow boxing suit, Donovan’s face was filled with confusion. He was bewildered for a while.

Finally, he remembered what happened at noon. He couldn’t help but burst into laughter. He asked, “So, this is his way of retaliating against me, finding a blind date partner for Alta, right?”

Eaton smiled and remained silent. He looked like “You can interpret it as you wish.”

Donovan snorted and spoke in an annoyed tone, “Your owner, Jason, requires discipline! Do you think finding someone can stop me? You’re thinking too simple!”

Then, he waved his hand in a shooting gesture. He continued, “Go, go, go back and relay the message to that brat. Tell him that even if he finds ten more masters like this, I will still collect photo albums for Alta! Let’s see how anxious he gets!”

When these two sides clashed, no one can afford to provoke them!

Eaton naturally didn’t say much and immediately returned to the company. He relayed Donovan’s words to Jason.

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the office noticeably became tense.

After pondering for a moment, Jason took out his phone and made a call.

Soon, the call was connected.

A voice full of age and curiosity came from the other side, “Why do you have time to call me lately?”

Jason’s tone was unusually gentle as he said, “Teacher, I have a favor to ask.”

The other person immediately laughed. He sounded a bit excited, like he found Jason’s plea for help amusing. “Rare! Do you even have a day when you need my help?”

The person on the other end spoke concisely, “Alright, go ahead.” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Seeing that he agreed, Jason spoke directly, “Donovan has been a bit out of sorts lately. Your chess skills are superb, so I would like to ask you to visit the ancestral house every day… Of course, just to hang out with him, no need to play chess!”

Eaton pricked up his ears and listened, feeling a bit sympathetic towards Donovan.

As a chess enthusiast, Donovan was being arranged very well…

Spring Villa.

After Jason and the others left, the closed door upstairs finally opened.

Otto and Nina walked out stealthily. They peeked their heads out at the staircase, looking downstairs cautiously.

Alta found it amusing to watch and smiled. Her lips curved as she said. “Come down, they’re left.”

Otto and Nina nodded and hurriedly rushed downstairs like they had been suffocating.

Otto patted his chest. He was still trembling a little and exclaimed, “That’s scary! Why do daddy and great-grandpa suddenly come over like that?”

Alta also nodded and agreed, “Yes.”

She was quite scared when she saw those two people.

Edward looked at them and spoke thoughtfully, “Alta, I think this situation can’t go on like this.”

If they suddenly visited again and had to hide in such a hurry, it would be exposed sooner or later.

“I think you should find an opportunity to explain everything to Jason.”

Alta nodded, agreeing to some extent.

Sneaking around like this was indeed not a long-term solution. She should find an opportunity to explain things clearly.

However, she didn’t know how Jason would react when the time came, whether he would be reasonable or not…

Watching this scene, Cindy spoke up at the right moment, “I think you can tell Donovan about this matter.”

Alta felt a bit puzzled at the words and looked over.

Cindy pondered for a moment and explained, “Today, Donovan misunderstood that you have two other children with someone else. But it seems that he doesn’t mind that.”

“So, if we inform him about the existence of the children, he will stand on your side.”

She paused for a moment. Her tone softened as she said, “To be honest, he has resented Jason in these years because of you! He’s also angry and regrets not stopping Jason from divorcing you. For the sake of the children’s future, we need allies. Donovan is a good candidate.”

“Think about it. If this matter is exposed in the future, we have his support in the Hills, who dares to take the children away from you?”
