Chapter 42 Did You Love Her?
Tim and Tom glanced at each other and then looked at Jasper somewhat embarrassedly. "Mr. Foster, it's already past eight in the evening now. He is just a kid. He should be resting at this time."
Jasper glanced coldly at Tim. "Didn't you say he was chatting with you online just now?"
The two glanced at each other again, helpless. They then called Bennett and explained that Jasper wanted to see him.
"Sure."
Sitting on the balcony at Violet's house, Bennett smirked coldly.
He had just received a call from his sister saying that the scumbag and mommy had a fight. Now, the scumbag wanted to see him.
Let's see how he would settle the score for mommy!
The little guy hung up the phone, ran to the kitchen, and took out chilled Sprite and pineapple.
He squeezed the pineapple, mixed it with Sprite, and added a special ingredient. He then poured it into a cup and carried it downstairs.
He didn't have to wait long before a black Maserati drove up.
The back door swung open to reveal the man's stern visage, etched with coldness.
Jasper glanced at him lightly. "Get in."
Sitting in the back seat, Bennett smiled and said, "Uncle, why did you want to see me so late?"
The man stared straight ahead, his gaze cold. "Do I need a reason to see you?"
"No, no at all."
The little guy's eyes darted around. He opened the thermos cup, pretending to take a sip.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he handed the cup to Jasper. "Uncle, do you want to taste? I made this fruit juice myself. It's really delicious!"
Ryan, who was driving, furrowed his brow slightly.
This kid really had no sense of propriety!
How could their CEO casually drink from the same cup as an unfamiliar child?
But in the next moment, Jasper's actions left Ryan speechless. He almost dropped his jaw to the ground.
The cold and aloof president, who has a cleanliness obsession, took the drink and finished it in one gulp. Not a single drop remained.
Ryan was shocked.
Bennett was also shocked. He only wanted to teach Jasper a lesson, and there was no need for him to drink so much.
The little guy was starting to get a headache. He would definitely end up in the hospital tonight!
Are all these scumbags nowadays so careless about their own health?
"Tastes good." Jasper glanced at Bennett with indifference. "Do you have more?"
Just this one cup is enough to give you a stomachache and diarrhea, and you still want to continue drinking!
"No," replied Bennett.
"What a pity." Jasper returned the cup to Bennett and turned his gaze toward the window.
"Uncle, are you feeling bad?"
"Kind of." His mind was a mess. One moment was the happy face of Adeline when she married him, and the next moment was her cold indifference, slapping him in the face.
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
Ever since Lauren returned to his side, everything had become chaotic.
The previous him would not have such an impulse toward a maid he had just met, and he certainly wouldn't confide in a six-year-old child when feeling troubled.
The trajectory of his life seemed to have shifted with Lauren's arrival.
And Adeline, the woman he had been longing for for six years, where was she?
"Why?" Bennett was confused. According to what Lauren just said, it was clear that this man had bullied mommy. So why was he so worried now?
"Do you want to hear my story?" He turned his head and looked at Bennett's face.
For some reason, he always felt that this little guy was trustworthy. Perhaps it was because he saved Lauren's life? He always unconsciously wanted to get close to him.
Jasper felt like he was going crazy.
"Is Uncle going to tell me a story?" Bennett blinked innocently, putting on a cute face.
Jasper forced a bitter smile and had Ryan stop the car on the bridge.
There weren't many people on the bridge at night. He opened the car door and stood on the bridge, quietly looking at the calm sea below.
"This is the place where my wife had a car accident. When I arrived, there was nothing left except a chaotic scene and a broken railing.
"I don't know where she went. I couldn't find her.
"Everyone says she's dead, but I've been unable to accept it.
"I don't believe it. As long as there is no body found, there is still hope that she is alive.
"Half a month ago, my guess was confirmed. She is indeed still alive.
"Not only is she alive, but she also gave birth to our daughter.
"She is the one you saved at the amusement park."
Bennett pursed his lips. He stood next to Jasper and looked at the intact railing in front of them. "Did she fall from here?"
"Yeah," Jasper smiled bitterly. "Can you tell at all?"
"It has been six years. Time changes a lot of things and causes many things to be forgotten."
Jasper let out a long sigh.
It has already been such a long time.
So long that many people have forgotten about Adeline. Even Adeline's biological parents were urging him to marry Molly.
It's as if the whole world has forgotten about that woman, but she stubbornly and firmly resides in his heart.
Unjustifiably, Adeline's face reappeared in his mind.
The man became annoyed.
Was he, too, unable to wait for her any longer?
He waited for six years and got close to any other woman.
But that woman, Adeline... She made him break that rule time and time again.
Standing at the place where mommy fell, Bennett also felt a myriad of emotions.
After a while, he turned his head and looked seriously at Jasper's face. "Uncle, did you love her?"
He really wanted to know the answer to this.
If Jasper truly loved mommy, why did he treat her that way?
If he didn't love her, why did he let mommy get pregnant with the three of them?
After being rescued at sea, mommy couldn't undergo many surgeries because she was carrying the three of them.
She stubbornly carried them until they were born before starting to treat her body and undergo painful surgeries.
Sometimes, Bennett would feel that the three of them were burdens to mommy.
If it wasn't for them, Mommy might have never come back to this sad place in her lifetime, and she wouldn't have entangled herself with this scumbag again.
"How could there be..."
How could there be no love?
Before Jasper could finish his sentence, a sharp pain suddenly emanated from his stomach.
Instinctively, he reached out to cover his stomach, unable to speak due to the pain.
"Sir!"
Ryan quickly rushed out of the car and supported the man's bent body. "What's wrong?"
His forehead was covered in a fine sweat from the pain. "Home."
Go home?
Bennett's internal alarm bells rang loudly.
If Jasper went home, mommy would definitely know that this was his prank!
She would be angry!
The little guy blocked Ryan. "Since uncle is in so much pain, let's go to the hospital."
