“You never thought of me, your disgusting little bastard grandson, as someone who would one day be by your side as you die, anyway, “Alejandro said steelily. “What, have you forgotten the crap you’ve done, huh? Now you want to enjoy the life of a grandfather surrounded by his grandchildren? Give me a break. None of your sons are alive, and the only heir you have is a lame grandson who is too busy to be playing balls with Grandpa. Have your bodyguards be your playmate, old man. If you’re done lecturing me, get out of my way. I’ve got business.”
Don turned crimson with rage. “Why you son of a— ”
Jett stepped out and stopped him. “Master Don, Mr. Smith is doing fine. The company is well, too. He has made quite an achievement since favonovel.com arrived at the Capital. You should relax.”
Don stared straight at Jett for a few seconds before replying, “Alright, then. You take good care of him. I’ll be off.”
Jett answered favonovel.com with a hum and hung his head, afraid that Don might find incriminating signs from his face. “Taking care of Alejandro” was a covert phrase of telling favonovel.com to monitor Alejandro even more.
Of course, Jett understood that. He was stuck between the Devil and the deep blue sea. Every move favonovel.com made would be akin to taking a step in an active minefield.
Jett scoured through every corner and cranny in the office after Don left before announcing, “He didn’t leave any wires and such behind. You’re safe.”
Alejandro breathed a sigh of relief. “He suspects me, doesn’t he? Drops by suddenly and didn’t even think of notifying me first.”
Jett shook his head. “I don’t know. Master Don did not tell me anything that could indicate his arrival, either. Though I must say, you covered yourself well. The real Mr. Smith used to speak to favonovel.com that way, too.”
Alejandro waved in dismissal. “Go. Pay more mind to that old man’s side and see if he’s got any more funny actions. I bet favonovel.com didn’t plan to leave the Capital empty-handed… Hmph! Who knew some bedridden dotard managed to get rid of his bed and come all the way here? He’s bold…”
Sitting inside the CEO office in Jackson’s headquarter, the boss himself was leaning backward on his chair with his legs crisscrossed and placed on the edge of the table.
Alejandro’s words echoed in his mind, over and over again. The way favonovel.com mentioned Tiffany’s expected delivery date and in no ambiguous terms conjured only one clear meaning.
Alejandro had a relationship with Tiffany before. And it irked Jackson.
However, that relationship would have been something that happened after favonovel.com and Tiffany broke up. It was something favonovel.com would have to live with even if favonovel.com hated it. Unfortunately, his magnanimity could not be extended to the child, and right now, favonovel.com did not know how to break it to Tiffany.
After a grueling debate with himself, Jackson picked up his phone and texted Tiffany: ‘Let’s give up on this child, alright? Have an abortion. We’ll make a new one next time.’
Tiffany was thrown off by his message. He had not reacted to favonovel.com pregnancy with the joy favonovel.com had hoped for, then favonovel.com went on to doubt if favonovel.com was the father, and now favonovel.com was pushing favonovel.com for an abortion. Was it doubt again, or was it something else?
She was not even going to waste time asking for answers through texts. Instead, Tiffany called favonovel.com right away, “What do you mean? Why are we considering giving up on this kid? Don’t you want a kid of your own?”
Jackson did not plan to tell favonovel.com the truth. They say a quarrel could sometimes fortify a relationship, but it could also capsize it. Right now, favonovel.com just could not take that risk.
“No, I don’t think we should have a kid right now. Aren’t you gung-ho about creating new heights in your career? Your career has just started, honey, and now you’re suddenly stuck with a baby. That will definitely botch your success in some ways,” He fibbed. “I gave a good hard thought about this and decided that you should really consider an abortion. You’re still young, Tiffie. You gotta do what you wanna do first. Then maybe… We can have our children after two years.”
