Ex-Husband’s Regret: Barren Mommy Has Quadruplets

Chapter 183 Suspicious Intimacy 

Upon hearing “someone else” from Lotus’s mouth, Alta guessed it was Gail.

She felt a sudden discomfort and turned her head to ask, “In previous years, did he always dance with Gail?”

Lotus had already considered Alta as a couple with their CEO, they just hadn’t made it public yet.

She was certain that Alta would care about this.

Quickly, Lotus smiled and said, “Of course not! Although it’s true that Gail had the quota in previous years, the CEO had to decline because of other matters these past few years.

“But if you don’t come this year, without a doubt, it will fall on Gail again!”

After listening, Alta looked thoughtful.

If Jason really accepted dancing with Gail this year…

As soon as she thought of Gail’s smug face, her thoughts came to a halt.

She really didn’t want to see that woman’s victorious demeanor.

Hence, Alta said, “Let’s see when the time comes.”

In the CEO’s office.

Amidst his busy schedule, Jason was confirming the guest list for the annual meeting with Eaton.

“We have invited those who should be invited, and the notifications have been sent out. It’s just these few quotas that are not quite certain. Mr. Hill, please have a look.”

Jason took the paper and saw three names written on it.

Eaton also looked and said, “One is Ms. Rogers, and the other two are the owners of ZL Company.”

Regarding these three individuals, he had been in a dilemma for quite some time.

Ms. Rogers had such a good relationship with Mr. Hill. If she wasn’t invited and Mr. Hill blamed him, he would be the one to suffer…

As for inviting the assistants from ZL Company but not the two owners, it was really hard to justify!

Logically speaking, considering ZL Company’s current position in the business world, they didn’t actually qualify for this invitation.

However, they had such close collaboration.

Because of this, Eaton was almost tearing his hair out in distress.

Before Jason could respond, a childish voice came from outside the door, “Why are you hesitating? Of course, invite them all.”

Jason looked over and saw that the two little ones had come, carrying their small backpacks.

He immediately asked them, “Why are you at the company instead of going home after school?”

Lucas walked in and sat on the sofa. He confidently said, “We received help from Alta at the hospital earlier. Out of courtesy, we think we should show our gratitude, and that’s why we come here to invite her for a meal.”

After finishing, he added, “It is Lyla’s request.”

Jason couldn’t help but look at his daughter. He saw the little girl nodding her head, and her face was full of pleading.

He frowned, clearly showing his reluctance.

He had suspected for a while that these two little ones had a different attitude towards Alta.

Suspiciously affectionate!

And now they had come specifically to invite her for a meal. This meant that they wanted to further close the relationship, right?

This was exactly what Jason didn’t want to see.

Hence, he spoke up, “She’s working, don’t disturb her. If you want to express gratitude, I will take care of it.”

Lucas shook his head vigorously in strong disagreement. He said, “Expressing gratitude requires sincerity and action. If it’s just giving gifts or spending money, then it’s better not to do it, so as not to make the person feel uncomfortable.”

After lecturing, he added another comment.

“And besides, if daddy doesn’t even invite her to the annual meeting, how sincere can you be?”

Beside him, Lyla nodded vigorously in agreement.

Even without speaking, those lively big eyes were telling “You really don’t understand!”

Being criticized by his son and daughter, Jason found it amusing. He couldn’t help but ask back, “Does inviting her to attend show sincerity?” From NôvelDrama.Org.

Upon hearing that, Lucas also asked, “Why not? Alta works in our company, she is part of us. It’s not good that you don’t even invite your own employees. Besides…”

The little one paused for a moment and continued, “The schedule for the annual meeting includes a dance party. Rather than seeing daddy dance with someone else, we would much rather see you dance with Alta!”

“That’s right!”

Lyla spoke up with her tiny voice in support and nodded her head.

Then, she ran over, grabbed onto her daddy’s clothes. She shook her little hand while acting cute, saying, “Daddy, invite Alta…”

Jason, who had always been calm and composed, couldn’t resist the consecutive sweet voices.

Looking at the little girl by his leg, his heart softened.

Since his daughter started going to kindergarten, she had started speaking, just as they had agreed before.

Although she didn’t say much, Jason could hardly resist whenever she opened her mouth.

Whatever request she made, he would ultimately agree, and it never failed.

Indeed, this time was no exception.

It didn’t take long for Jason to hold his daughter’s swaying, little hand and say, “Alright then.”

Yay!

The two little ones immediately showed satisfied smiles.

“Can we invite Alta to have dinner with us tonight?”

Jason made a sound of agreement, indicating his approval.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lucas asked, “Can we go to where she works to find her?”

“It’s almost closing time. What if the Alta leaves and we don’t make it in time?”

Upon hearing this, Jason clearly didn’t want them to go.

After all, it was in the company, with many people and prying eyes.

He didn’t want any unnecessary gossip, so he said, “I can call her and let her know.”

Lucas pouted and complained in his mind.

Daddy was really indecisive. He knew that she was their mommy. Children naturally relied on their mother, so it was normal to want to see her.

However, in order to have the opportunity to spend time with their mommy, the little one had to go the extra mile. He said, “That’s insincere. If you invite someone for a meal, you should do it face-to-face.”

Jason felt their persistence to see Alta. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “Why are you so obsessed with her?”

“You… only met her once!”

The latter half of the sentence was clearly emphasized.

In that instant, the office fell suddenly quiet.

Lucas just merely paused when facing the oppressive gaze. He calmly said, “Didn’t we say before that we felt a connection with that lady?”

“And besides, she’s really pretty! Like a fairy. I’ve never seen such a pretty lady before!”

This flattery came effortlessly.

After listening, Jason’s expression loosened. He felt somewhat helpless and amused.

So, these two little ones had a favorable impression of Alta just because she was good-looking?

Thinking of this, her exquisitely beautiful face flashed in his mind.

Indeed, it was unforgettable.

Jason had thought that the children had discovered something, but it seemed he was worried for no reason. He immediately granted their request and said, “You can go,

but don’t disturb her work.”

The two little ones patted their chests and assured him, “We definitely won’t!”

“Then take them to find Alta.”

Jason instructed Eaton.

“Okay.”

Eaton responded and led the two little ones out.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Research Lab 2.

Meanwhile, Alta was discussing a set of data with Lotus. Suddenly she heard the exclamations from her colleagues and respectful voices calling out, “Lyla, Lucas.”
