Exclusive Memory novel Chapter 67

The next day was a cloudy day. After Jasper got up, he took his son to the grass and jogged for a while. After that, he went back to the bathroom and took a shower. When he went downstairs, it was almost 7 o'clock in the morning.

There were already many people sitting at the long table of the dining room. Abbott was serving the food on the table with two other servant. Seeing he came forward, they greeted to him immediately.

"Good morning, young master!"

"Good morning, boss!"

Jasper nodded and sat on the farthest side of the table. Then Nelson jumped into his arms with joy and innocence and said, "Daddy, hold me."

Hearing his words, Jasper couldn't help but smile. He put his son on his lap and handed him a glass of milk. The little boy wriggled in his arms. He held the milk cup with both hands and sent it to his mouth. "Daddy, drink it."

"Help yourself. I'll drink it later."

The kid took the milk and drank it at a gulp. When it was seven o'clock, everyone else in the villa slowly came and began to eat breakfast with chopsticks. It was quiet when Jasper was at the table. No one talked. Only the slight sound of bowl colliding with chopsticks could be heard.

After breakfast, Nelson changed his clothes and began to sort out his schoolbag. Although he was short, he still didn't behave himself. He leaned on the sofa and hung his schoolbag from the couch. As Jasper was browsing the news on his phone, he held his hands to wrap the little boy up to protect him from falling to the ground. The boy asked as he sorted his schoolbag, "Dad, is aunt Ashley not at home these two days? I haven't seen her."

"She is at home. Your aunt has been in a bad mood these days, so she didn't come out of her room."

"Okay."

After Nelson left, Jasper waited for a while, but Ashley still didn't come out. He then looked towards the direction of the third floor, wondering whether she was still awake or she had forgotten about riding a horse. After looking at the sky and the clock, Jasper stood up and went to the study.

At nine o'clock, a gust of wind blew outside. The window of the study was open, and the papers on the table had been blown away. Jasper stood up and lowered the window a little.

"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Bradley opened the door, "Young master, horses have arrived."

"Have you cleaned the rein?"

"Yes, I have."

"Put the horses on the ground first, let them have a walk there."

"Yes, Master." After listening to the order, Bradley was going to unlock the bridle.

"Wait!" Jasper stopped him, "Is Ashley still in the room?"

"Yes, Ashley didn't come out yesterday. I was worried about her, so I sent a maid to check her room. Then I knew that she had woken up for a long time. Do you want me to send the maid to check? Maybe Ashley has already got up. "

"Okay," Jasper stood up, "Go and ask the maid to take a look. I'll go to see the horses. If Ashley wakes up, you come to find me on the lawn in the back."

"Yes, Master."

After Jasper put away his book, Bradley followed him downstairs. As soon as they went down a few steps, they heard someone whispering.

"I was wondering why Ashley didn't go out the past few days. I didn't know until now that something like this had happened."

"How shameful for her to be exposed such scandal by others? If I were her, I would directly hit the wall and kill myself, let alone stay at home."

Another man laughed in a low voice, "if she really died, where can she make money? Although other stars like her look gorgeous, all of them are like bitches. How could you get married while she was pregnant with other's child? It's disgusting. "

"Yes, her baby's father wasn't his husbands. The baby really suffered a lot in her belly."

Then they laughed in a low voice.

Standing next to Jasper, Bradley's face turned pale with fear. How could these two people be so bold to gossip like this here? Did they want to die?

"Shut up!" Bradley walked downstairs and reprimanded the two maids. "Here isn't a right place where you can gossip randomly. Am I too tolerant to you so you don't know what rules are?"

The two maids who were gossiping downstairs were scared to death when they saw the man.

"I'm sorry, Steward Bradley. We dare not do it again. Please forgive us."

"You have worked here so many years. How can you not know what you are doing? How can you gossip Ashley like this?"

Jasper went downstairs with a dark face. Nobody knew how much Ashley had heard of such words. As an outsider, he could feel his heart broken. She would probably be even more Heart-pierced.

The two maids were stunned at the sight of Jasper. They would have collapsed on the ground if they were not supported by the furniture.

"Uncle Bradley, pay them the salary." Jasper's face looked as cold as ice.

The two maids clearly understood what he meant. They ran in front of Jasper in a panic. "Mr. Jasper, I know I was wrong. I can't lose this job. I need to support my family."

The other one was also pleading. If they were in the old society, she would kneel down. "Mr. Jasper, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive us this time. For the sake of my service for this family for so many years, please forgive us."

"That's right, Mr. Jasper. If you fire us now, we can't get such a high salary at our age."

Jasper was expressionless.
