Billionaire's Reborn Baby novel Chapter 242

Jaquan nodded. Just as he was about to drive in, he smelled the aroma of the pancakes and said to her, "Give me one, please."

The old lady nodded happily, "Alright!"

A moment later, she handed him two servings. "You've worked hard. Take care of yourself."

With a smile, Jaquan took the pancakes and handed her the money. "Thank you."

When she came back to give him the change, he had left. She stood there and sighed, "Why did his wife and child leave him?"

When Jaquan got home, the lights in the hall were on. He thought that Felice had come, but after he changed his shoes in the vestibule walked into the living room, he saw Collin sitting on the sofa, watching TV, as if he were in his own home.

Jaquan stuffed the pancakes into his briefcase and said, "You got off work early today."

"I was on day shift." Collin stood up and walked to him. As a doctor, he had a keen sense of smell. "Did you buy vegetable pancakes?"

Jaquan placed the pancakes on the dining table.

"It's late, and there was nothing else I wanted to eat. I bought this at the entrance to the community. Do you want some? Here's one for you."

"Why are you explaining? I didn't say anything." Collin grinned. "You didn't buy it because you missed Emma, did you?"

"What's wrong with you? Why would I miss her?" Jaquan snorted, then averted his eyes to the TV awkwardly. "What are you watching?"

"Tom and Jerry."

Jaquan didn't comment on that.

He put down his briefcase and took off his jacket. "What are you doing here so late?"

Collin pushed his glasses and said, "I came to check up on you."

Jaquan loosened his tie impatiently.

"Now that you have, get out."

Collin mischievously observed his expression. "Actually, Emma came to the hospital today."

Jaquan's movements paused for a moment. Then he calmly washed his hands and picked up the pancakes. While eating, he eagerly waited for Collin to continue.

Collin poured himself a glass of water in the kitchen. Jaquan had thought that he would tell him more about Emma, but Collin said a lot more without mentioning anything about Emma, as if that one single sentence was all he had to say about her.

Jaquan couldn't help asking, "Why did she go to the hospital?"

"Who?" Collin feigned puzzlement.

Jaquan glared at him. "Get out if you don't want to talk."

Collin suppressed his laughter and said, "Oh, you mean Emma? She came for a recheck-up. Her leg recovered."

"Oh."

Collin patted his shoulder and said, "I'm leaving."

Jaquan pried his hand away. "Why exactly did you come here tonight?"

"I told you I came to check up on you."

"Bullshit."

Collin walked to the vestibule and abruptly turned around. "I'm taking next week off."

"So?" Jaquan looked at him impatiently.

Collin smiled mysteriously. "I plan to travel. Do you want to join me?"

Jaquan waved his hand dismissively without even looking at him. "I'm very busy. Goodbye."

Before leaving, Collin reminded him, "I hope you won't regret it."

Jaquan ignored him.
