Billionaire's Reborn Baby novel Chapter 177

Jaquan scratched his head and said, "Nothing. I'm just asking. Didn't it rain yesterday? It's getting cold. Dad and you should put on more clothes. Be careful to keep warm. Don't catch a cold."

Mrs. Cox was surprised. "Why is my son suddenly so sweet? Do you care about your parents now? I have to tell your father this."

Jaquan's father was an old professor who didn't speak much with his son. He was a nerd who only liked reading. The father and son usually had few words when they met. Since Jaquan became a lawyer, he had hardly come back to visit them. However, Mrs. Cox took the trouble to his home two or three times a week to clean up and cook him a few meals, afraid that he was not able to take good care of himself.

Jaquan thought of Stony's earnest face. He suddenly felt that he, as an adult, was inferior to that child.

"Mom, I'm sorry. You and Dad have been worrying about me all these years, while I haven't ever done anything for you. When I think about it now, I'm very ashamed..."

Mrs. Cox fell silent.

Jaquan felt embarrassed, scratching his hair and saying, "A friend is coming over, and I'll hang up now."

He was wondering why he suddenly got so sentimental. Jaquan wiped his face and forced back the tears in his eyes.

Arabella arrived half an hour later.

Behind her were two bodyguards carrying precious nourishing food like ginseng, bird's nest and ganoderma lucidum, all wrapped in golden packages. There were also quite a few high-end masks and children's toys.

The chef was a foreigner in white, following behind them. He carried his cutlery box in one hand and the ingredients for dinner in the other. As soon as he entered, he went straight to the kitchen to work.

Arabella took her two bodyguards into the guest room with the gifts and put them on the floor. She asked Emma, who was lying on the bed, with concern, "Sorry, I only found out today that you are staying here. I should have come to see you earlier. How is your leg?"

Emma sat back on the bed. The room was heated, so she wore only a dark grey thick sweater without pants under. When she saw Arabella bring the gifts, she was not surprised or excited. Instead, she pursed her lips and smiled at Arabella. "Thank you, but I might not need those things. I said last time that it didn't take a lot to save you. Don't thank me again. You've already done that."

Arabella was embarrassed. She had thought that she brought so many gifts and Emma would definitely accept them. To her surprise, Emma refused to take them. Did she not like them or...?

Jaquan came to rescue Arabella. "Arabella invited a chef over and he will cook us a big dinner. Come on, let's go out and wait at the dining table."

After he spoke, he walked to the bed and stooped to pick up Emma.

These days Collin had been telling him that Emma could not get out of bed and walk. Therefore, unless he was not home, Jaquan would carry her to the bathroom or the dining table.

Arabella saw him carry Emma without any demur, and she had a strange feeling. However, she forced a smile and followed them behind.

Emma took a wondering look at Jaquan, who carried her in front of the woman he liked. Was he careless or was he using her to test Arabella?

Looking at Arabella's awkward smile, Emma thought that this girl probably liked Jaquan. Since the two of them had feelings for each other... No matter if Jaquan was using her or not, Emma felt she should help him. After all, he treated her and Stony fairly well.

They sat down at the dining table. The bodyguard took out a bottle of red wine from behind him and placed a few goblets on the table, pouring wine for each of them. Stony watched as the red wine was being poured into his goblet. He looked at Emma, who nodded to beckon him to have a taste without drinking a lot.
