Chapter 75 Jessica Roth’s Approach
Noah put down the file in his hand, closed it, walked to the couch, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, “What’s up? Say it.” Ava had been back at school for some time. Although he had sent detectives to give him occasional reports on her condition, but Jessica said it should be more genuine, what’s more, she said she had brought news about Ava, he couldn’t help but be a little curious, what…
Jessica really just wants to meet Noah, but other than the Ava thing, it seems like no one else can get anywhere near Noah.
Jessica could only bring up the relationship between herself and Ava: “The chairman probably doesn’t know the relationship between Ava and me, right?”
Noah shook his head and flicked the ashes of his cigarette, and even the act of flicking the ashes drove Jessica crazy inside, so she resisted her panic of trying to hold Noah down and cleared her throat and said, “Ava is my half-sister.”
Sure enough, this statement aroused Noah’s interest, and Noah narrowed his eyes slightly: “Oh?”
Jessica nodded and continued, “My mother followed Ava’s father when she was sixteen and gave birth to Ava at the age of eighteen, and then, because Ava’s father was too poor, my mother followed my father and had me, but we never knew each other until my mother inadvertently ran into Ava’s father at the hospital in the front, and we Only then could we recognize each other…”
Jessica cleverly makes Mayas visit to the hospital look unintentional.
“Why haven’t I heard Ava say that?”
Jessica shrugged her shoulders, “I don’t know, but I’ve always called her sister, and the last time she had an accident, you heard me call her sister, didn’t you?”
Noah put out the rest of the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray after a fierce. Noah asked lightly, “So what do you want now?” Noah suddenly questioned Jessica’s statement about her relationship with Ava.
Jessica has come over to see him several times, but he always blocked him and did not want to see him. This time, it was because of the mention of Ava that he was willing to meet with her.
Jessica is still smiling slightly: “I think, my sister left you here this time to go to school, there must be a reason, as to what reason, I am certainly not appropriate to ask, but I am willing to sister side of anything, I can tell you.”
Noah heard this suggestion, thought for a moment and nodded: “Yes, next time you come, you don’t need to ask the receptionist, just take my exclusive elevator up.”
Jessica heard this amnesty, the psychological immediately heart blossom look, but on the surface, still bashful look: “I will not disturb your work like this?
Noah shook his head: “It’s okay, There’s nothing going on, so you can go first, I have to work late tonight.”
Jessica originally thought that at this hour, Noah would invite herself to dinner, but Noah did not seem to think about it at all, she only said cheekily: “That… is also a little late now, it’s time to eat dinner, why don’t I invite you to dinner, a new restaurant has opened nearby, how about I treat you to dinner? The restaurant, I treat you to eat, how?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Noah originally wanted to refuse, if he was hungry in the company, naturally a secretary would bring food, the company also has staff meals.
But since Jessica had already said that she was Ava’s sister, he couldn’t bear to refuse, so he nodded, took his trench coat and went downstairs with Jessica.
Noah didn’t say anything on the way, but listened to Jessica’s stories about Ava’s school life. She didn’t have any friends or friends around her.
“There are boys writing love letters to Ava, it’s so funny!” Jessica pretended to cover her mouth and snicker.
Noah’s hand stopped when he was cutting the steak… someone wrote a love letter to Ava? So what would Ava do? Would she accept it? Would she go out with another boy?
Jessica saw that Noah was not smiling at all, it seemed that nothing could attract Noah’s interest, but hearing this end, he stopped the movement of his hands.
Jessica immediately continued, “But then, my sister just look at the love letter, and I do not know if she returned the love letter it? The best boy in our class, the best basketball performer, even asked my sister to go watch him play basketball.”
Noah’s hand is getting harder and harder to cut the steak… returning love letters? Go watch another man play basketball? Oh, really think they got freedom…
Noah’s heart was a little uncomfortable, he casually ate two bites of steak, then got up and said, “You take your time, I have to get back to work.” After saying that, he bought the bill and left.
Jessica elegantly sipped her glass of red wine, she couldn’t help but smile, she had gotten the privilege to go to the chairman’s office anytime she wanted, what was left was to work on herself, how to make Noah’s eyes move from Ava’s body to her own.
The life of the rich is good, although their own father is rich, but when such a squander of money, here such a casual meal consumption, I’m afraid it is her two months of pocket money, she aspires to such a life, she must live the life of a man! And all of this, only the man sitting across from him just now can give himself!
Jessica’s cell phone rang, and when she picked it up, she saw that it was Maya calling, and Jessica picked up the phone, “Hey, Mom, I’m outside. ”
“No… me and Noah… uh, yeah, Ava went back to school, the two should be separated… no no, don’t worry. He had to leave first… I’m going back soon, don’t worry, I’ll be home soon, don’t worry don’t worry! “Jessica hung up the phone and continued to finish the steak on her plate.
Noah suddenly wanted to see Ava, so he drove his car as fast as he could until he reached Ava’s building, which he had purchased, and he knew which floor she lived on.
Noah got out of the car and looked up at the lights on the seventh floor, orange lights, very gentle, very warm, what is Ava doing at this time? Is she just taking a shower and studying now? She is so serious about her studies…
Just as he looked up and concentrated on Ava’s room, suddenly Ava came out and stood on the balcony, he seemed very afraid of being discovered and immediately hid under a tree, suddenly he felt a little ridiculous, he would have such a day, afraid to hide?
The night was late, he could not see Ava’s appearance, but he could imagine Ava’s appearance, hair slightly wet, wearing a cotton pajamas, this moment, must be tired of studying, only to go to the balcony to look in the distance and see the night view.
Ava stood on the balcony for a short time before she entered the room and all the lights went out.
Noah then drove away.
On the way back, Noah did not understand when he suddenly changed, afraid to let Ava see himself, afraid that she would panic, afraid that she would choose to shut up on her own…
Jessica returned home slowly, the only person in the house was Maya, Jessica had long been used to the life of a large home, only the two of them left.
Before Jessica could sit down, Maya eagerly asked, “Did you and Noah go to dinner together? How did it go? What was Noah’s attitude?”
Jessica threw her bag on the couch across the room and said lazily, “Starting tomorrow, I’ll be able to use his private elevator to go directly to his office.”
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Mayas eyes: “Really? How could it be so sudden? Isn’t Noah with Ava?”
Jessica gave Maya a blank look: “Mom, did I not tell you? Ava has left Noah, now every day in school to study, that woman, as if born to live for learning, so long with Noah, mixed up to now, actually still jeans t-shirt dress! She’s still your daughter, how come she doesn’t look like you at all?”
Maya bit her lip and asked cautiously, “How do you see her body recovering? How is her father now?”
Jessica picked up her phone and said while playing, “Oh, she’s fine, but her dad died, so they seem to have broken up, so Ava went back to school.”
Dead? Maya froze, the man she was deeply infatuated with when she was sixteen, had actually left the world?
Maya lost in thought, memory back to the year she was sixteen, a group of young boys did not allow her to cross the road, she must take off her clothes before you can go, that time, is Jack saved himself, since then he fell deeply in love with the man who played for his life… he has actually died?
Jessica noticed that Maya suddenly stopped talking, looked up at Maya, found Maya lost in thought, sitting on the sofa, not saying anything, she frowned and said: “To what? You have been separated for so many years? Still thinking about it? ”
Maya shook her head, “I want to go rest by myself for a while, you stay here and watch TV.” Said hurriedly back to the bedroom.
Yes, after so many years of separation, I shouldn’t be heartbroken, but why would I be so sad when I think of that young Jack? That was the first man I loved in my life, so maybe that’s why I’m losing it in front of Jessica right now?
Mayas two lines of tears slowly slipped down, Jack ah Jack, you are the first man I love, but you finally left.
Only when Jessica knocked on the door did Maya dry her tears and let Jessica in. Jessica looked at Mayas somewhat red and swollen eyes and said in shock, “Mom, you’re not crying because of Ava’s father, are you? You’re not going to stop supporting me in my pursuit of Noah, are you? You’re not going soft, are you?”
Maya stroked Jessica’s head and said, “Mommy is counting on you to make her life better, so how could she not support you?”
Jessica then nodded indifferently, “Oh… that’s good, you better not be soft, you can’t forget that I’m your dearest daughter, Ava is Jacks daughter.”
