Ex-Husband’s Regret: Barren Mommy Has Quadruplets

Chapter 185 Can’t be Soft-hearted Towards Him 

After Gail entered, she put on that gentle and sensible demeanor again. She approached Jenny and showed her concern.

“Jenny, I haven’t seen you in a while, you’ve lost quite some weight. Have you not been resting well lately?”

Seeing Gail’s appearance, Jenny seemed to have found someone to confide in. Suppressing her anger, she said, “Being watched every day, learning various social etiquette. It’s like being a prisoner, How can I not lose weight?”

Gail listened and a touch of sadness appeared on her face. Her tone showed a hint of sympathy.

“It seems like you and I are the same, enduring each day in such agony…”

She deliberately lowered her voice, making it sound like she was feeling wronged.

Seeing her like this, Jenny couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

Gail shook her head and smiled. She pretended to have a look of not wanting to bring up those bothersome matters. She replied, “Jenny, you already have enough headaches here. I won’t bother you with those troubles.”

The more she acted this way, the more curious Jenny became. After a moment’s thought, she roughly guessed what was going on.

She said coldly, “Just tell me honestly, did Alta do something outrageous again?”

Gail contemplated for a moment. She nodded and told Jenny about recent events at the company.

Naturally, her words were embellished with exaggeration.

As she continued, Gail’s eyes welled up with tears, looking particularly wronged. She said, “Now, everyone thinks that Alta is about to become the young mistress of the Hills. Not. only does Jason treat her differently, but even Donovan protects her. Otto and Nina are so obedient to her…”

“What a joke!”

Jenny was furious. She slammed the table and said, “How can Alta have the audacity to claim my two precious. grandchildren! What qualifications does she have to be the young mistress of the Hills? This is simply outrageous…”

Gail quietly observed Jenny’s emotions, feigning a sad expression. She replied, “Jenny, it’s all because of my incompetence. I couldn’t win Jason’s favor, nor could I win the children’s affection. I’m afraid I will disappoint your expectations all these years…”

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. Her acting skills were excellent.

Jenny was completely deceived by her. Seeing her crying so sorrowfully, Jenny hurriedly comforted her, “Don’t cry, it’s not your fault. It’s just that Alta is too cunning. I underestimate her!”

Towards the end of her words, she was grinding her teeth in anger.

Alta had no idea that Gail had gone to the Hills mansion to put on a show. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

At this moment, as she and Jason arrived at the restaurant, she suddenly shivered inexplicably.

Jason noticed this subtle movement and asked, “Are you cold?”

“Yeah, maybe the air conditioning in the private room is too low.” Alta explained.

Next to them, Lucas immediately took the remote control. He considerately said to Alta, “Alta, I’ll raise the temperature for you!”

“Thank you.”

Alta touched his little face.

Jason handed her the menu and said, “Take a look at what you want to eat.”

Alta nodded and began to order.

She naturally ordered dishes that her son and daughter liked.

Chapter 185 Can’t be Soft hearted Towards Him

Jason glanced at it briefly and became puzzled.

Why would Alta know the children’s preferences?

Jason started to doubt. His scrutinizing gaze focused on the woman next to him, like seeking an answer from her.

Lucas noticed that his father was looking at his mother. He glanced at the dishes his mother ordered. Suddenly, he felt a jolt in his heart and quickly remembered, “Alta, how did you know that we like to eat these? You’re amazing!”

Upon hearing Lucas’s words, Alta was startled and realized something…

She quickly explained, “Sorry, my two little ones have the same preferences. I instinctively ordered what they liked. Should I change it?”

As she said this, her gaze was directed at Jason.

She felt anxious, worried that she would be discovered.

Jason nodded in realization and said, “No need, it just so happens that they also like it… but it’s quite a coincidence.”

His eyes met Alta’s gaze. His sharp gaze seemed like he wanted to see through her.

Alta couldn’t help but clench her hand quietly.

Lucas quickly spoke up to defuse the situation, “It’s such a coincidence. I don’t expect that the children of Alta like the same things as us!”

Alta forced a smile and said, “Maybe children’s tastes are generally similar.”

“Alta makes sense!” Lucas nodded.

The mother and her son managed to get through this with their coordinated responses.

Soon, the dishes were served. To avoid revealing anything, Alta quietly ate and tried to refrain from speaking.

Jason didn’t eat much either and focused on peeling shrimp for Lucas. He didn’t neglect Lyla either. He occasionally removed fish bones and put the meat in his daughter’s bowl.

Alta knew that Nina couldn’t eat seafood, but her allergy was only to shellfish. Fish and similar foods were fine for her.

Having this meal together, Alta discovered some of Jason’s thoughtful actions.

But she also felt resentful.

This man, now playing the role of a responsible father. However, he used to be so disgusted!

He took the children away from her despite everything.

This matter couldn’t be easily overlooked!

Alta reminded herself not to sympathize with him just because he showed a bit of tenderness.

Jason was unaware of Alta’s thoughts. After peeling shrimp for his son, he also peeled a crab for Alta.

When the complete crab meat appeared in her bowl, Alta’s mind went blank for a moment.

“I… I can do it myself.”

She said, at a loss.

However, the man ignored her and coldly said, “Eat more.

The two little ones beside them saw their interaction and noticed everything. They imitated them and eagerly served food to Alta.

“Alta, eat more. You work so hard.”

“You can’t skip the meat. Eating meat gives you strength to work.”

“Health is the cornerstone of revolution. What do you want to eat? I’ll serve it to you!”

The two little ones were particularly enthusiastic. Lyla couldn’t speak, so Lucas spoke for both of them.

Alta couldn’t help but chuckle.

They had a joyful meal together.

After dinner, Jason originally planned to take the children. back home.

However, he suddenly received a call from his mother.

Alta didn’t know who called, but she saw the man respond coldly. He said, “I’m busy.”

Then, he hung up the phone.

After leaving the restaurant, Jason didn’t intend to go back. He bent down and asked the two little ones, “Do you want to take a walk and aid digestion?”

“Yes!”

Lucas replied without hesitation. Lyla beside him also looked eager.

After they agreed, the two little ones turned back and held Alta’s hand. They said, “Alta, let’s go for a walk together!”

“Okay,” Alta naturally didn’t refuse.

Soon, Eaton drove and took them to the riverside.

The gentle breeze from the river felt particularly refreshing.

When they got out of the car, there were quite a few people around.

Eaton had checked this place before coming and said, “On this side of the riverbank, there is a firework display every week. It happens to be tonight. Mr. Hill and Ms. Rogers can find a high spot to accompany Lucas and Lyla to enjoy the show.”
