Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 182 - 165: She Still Refuses to Come Back (2)

With Justin Hawthorne, the charming king, present, even if the three of them are alone, it won’t be awkward. Most of the time it’s just him and Laura Quincy chatting, while Jason Hawthorne quietly sits on the sofa, watching his stocks and handling some company emails...

Even so, Laura’s peripheral vision would occasionally drift towards him, completely unconsciously.

Fortunately, he left after ten minutes...

Originally she thought he wouldn’t come back, but he returned ten minutes later.

"I talked to John, and we’ve agreed to pick you up tomorrow to stay at my place. My backyard is more suitable for rest and relaxation."

"No need! I’m quite comfortable living here!"

Laura refused without a second thought; she definitely didn’t want to live at his place!

Jason seemed to have expected her refusal, and said in a deep voice, "The day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and Twinkle and I certainly won’t let you eat New Year’s dinner alone in the hospital. Although the medical equipment at my place isn’t complete, John has promised me confidently that there won’t be any aftereffects."

Laura replied irritably, "Who knows!"

Laura was still resentful about John hypnotizing her.

Jason could only secretly give his son a look; at this time, only he could take action. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Justin instantly understood his dad’s look, dashed over to Laura’s bedside, and looked at her with his big, bright eyes flickering, "Sis, why don’t you spend New Year’s with Twinkle? Every year, it’s just me and Dad at home during New Year, so lonely! Plus, Dad has to be busy with work, and can’t even watch TV or play with fireworks with Twinkle..."

He looked pitiful beyond words...

Anyone watching would feel sympathetic; Laura bit her lip, that bastard of a man could only think of this trick! Knowing full well she had no resistance to Twinkle and still doing this...

"Okay."

Hearing her agree, Justin cheered with joy.

Kids! They’re easily satisfied...

Laura was infected by his happy mood too; spending more time with her son was her wish, wasn’t it?

After Jason left, Laura received his text message: Thank you. Twinkle has always longed for a mother’s company, every New Year has been quite lonely for him, I’m an incompetent father.

Seeing this, Laura felt a mix of emotions, feeling sorry for her son while also realizing that this time Jason wasn’t solely thinking about himself...

Early morning.

Jason had just finished breakfast and was about to go to the company when his mother, Eleanor Ford, suddenly appeared. She took off her coat and handed it to the servant, then pulled her son to sit on the sofa.

Concerned, she asked, "I’ve heard that Twinkle has been frequently visiting Sunstone Hospital these days. What’s going on?"

Jason adjusted his tie, "It’s nothing. John and Mary are Twinkle’s godparents. I don’t have time to accompany Twinkle, sending him to his godparents is quite normal."

Eleanor suspiciously glanced at her son, "Don’t lie to Mom, if Mom really wants to know, you won’t be able to fool me."

Jason had a slightly helpless expression, "Mom, could you please just enjoy life peacefully with Dad? I can handle my own affairs, and regarding my elder brothers, I already have strategies in place."

Eleanor knew her son was capable, but as a mother, she still worried...

"You won’t put my mind at ease until you settle down! If you agree to get engaged to Stella by New Year, I won’t interfere with whatever you want to do afterwards."

Eleanor tried to use this reason to persuade her son by retreating to advance.

Jason looked extremely impatient, "Mom, I’ve said it many times, I won’t marry Stella Jennings! The person I want to marry is someone else."

Eleanor feigned anger, "Is it that vixen named Laura Quincy again? I’ve also said many times, our Hawthorne Family won’t accept a woman of unknown background into our doors!"

Jason’s face turned gloomy, "Mom, the person I want to marry is Twinkle’s biological mother, besides her, I won’t marry anyone else!"

His tone was firm, seemingly leaving no room for negotiation.

Eleanor looked at her son in disbelief, "What? Twinkle’s biological mother? That woman found you?"

Jason corrected his mother’s wording, "It’s not that she found me, but I encountered her again. This is fate decided by heaven, I don’t want to defy it."

Eleanor was furious, "Fate decided by heaven! Don’t give me that nonsense! That woman must have ulterior motives coming back to find you after so many years! I definitely won’t accept a woman like her!"

Jason’s attitude remained firm, "Mom, I will only marry her! Besides, Twinkle really likes her, don’t you want us to be reunited as a family of three? Twinkle is your most beloved grandson, will you even break this simple wish?"
