Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 140

At that moment Jimmy ran toward the man with an excited expression.
He recognized the man who had driven him to the police station the day he had lost his way at the airport, or Jane could not have found him.
Well, though Jimmy was not at all happy when he was found by Jane, he was grateful.
Jimmy thought that now that fate had brought the man to him again, he would certainly ask for his number, so that Martha could repay the man.
Yet Jimmy noticed that the man seemed to be in a different mood this time.
He looked haggard and his eyes were bloodshot. His suit jacket was rumpled. On the whole, he ha lost the air of arrogance he had at the airport.
Stefan frowned imperceptibly at the boy's happy face.
Jimmy looked up at the man who stood before him. He tugged at the man's sleeve, feeling kind of sorry for the man.
"Sir, are you alright? You don't look very well."
"I am fine."
Stefan's voice had grown unconsciously tender, without even his own consciousness of it.
Finally, he frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm waiting for Jane to go home."
Jimmy smiled, not at all afraid of Stefan's indifference.
"Thank you, sir, for sending me to the police station the other day. My mommy brought me home afterward."
"Nice," Stefan replied lightly, not wanting to waste time on Jimmy.
He was there for Martha.
Yet Jimmy followed, his little face beaming with delight. He was overjoyed to meet Stefan again.
"What are you doing here, sir? Are you here for work too?"
Just after the words left Jimmy's mouth, Jane came out of the elevator and met Jimmy and Stefan, and walked into the company together.
Jane was shocked when she saw Jimmy was following Stefan. Her brain went blank for a moment.
Why were they together?
Did they know each other?
Before she could understand the reason, Jimmy walked toward her happily, held her hand, and said seriously, "Jane, this is the gentleman who helped me at the airport."
Stefan paused at this, raised his eyes in doubt, looked at Jane, who stood before him, and frowned.
When Jimmy mentioned Jane just now, he did not think much about it.
He did not realize that Jimmy was talking about Martha's assistant. What a small world!
Jane panicked at this glance. She lowered his head, trying to hide her uneasiness and nervousness.
She did not know that Jimmy knew Stefan. What should she do now?
She could not tell that Jimmy was Martha's child. But what if Stefan asked?
Stefan noticed Jane's unnatural expression. So he asked, "Do you know this child?"
After Jane had regained her composure, she nodded slightly.
Though she did not know much about what Stefan had done in the past, she knew that Jimmy's identity must be kept from Stefan.
Otherwise, Martha would fire her.
Jane grabbed Jimmy and protected him behind her, then smiled awkwardly.
"He is my friend's child... My friend got something to do today, so I am helping my friend out."
Stefan frowned, and there was some doubt in his eyes.
He looked deep into the eyes of Jimmy, who stood behind Jane, as if to ask Jimmy if Jane was telling the truth.
Jimmy nodded, smiling all the time.
He could see that Stefan was a good man, though he treated him coldly.
Seeing Jimmy nod, Stefan thought no more. He said lightly, "Tell your friend to be more careful. Don't let the boy go out alone."
Saying that, Stefan thought of what happened at the airport and said impatiently, "I can't send him to the police station every time."
At this, Jane was speechless.
If Stefan knew that the friend she was talking about was Martha and Jimmy was his son, she was sure that he would be pissed off.
Who would have thought that Jimmy would come to C Country by himself and was sent to the police station by his father!
That was a bit dramatic. Jane nodded her head as she muttered something in silence.
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Harrison. I will tell his mother to be careful."
Stefan compressed his thin lips, glanced sideways at Jimmy again, and entered the company.
Jimmy, who was standing behind Jane, waved his hand at Stefan's back. He did not want Stefan to go.
"See you, Sir."
When Jane heard this, her body stiffened again.
She thought that Jimmy would better never see Stefan again.
How should she explain to Martha if Stefan found out Jimmy was his child?
Thinking of this, Jane unconsciously clenched her hand at her side.
She stared after Stefan and only breathed a sigh of relief when he entered the elevator.
At this moment, Jimmy, who was standing behind her, suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked for Stefan's number yet.
He tried to chase Stefan but was stopped by Jane in time.
"Where are you going?" Jane asked, gripping Jimmy's arm.
"I haven't thanked him properly yet. I can't let him go just like this." Jane was even more speechless when she heard this.
She blocked Jimmy's way, and patiently explained, "That gentleman has known your gratitude."
Jimmy pursed his lips, and looked hesitatingly at Jane.
"But... I want my mother to know him. She will like him as I do."
Jane was taken aback and utterly speechless.
Jimmy almost got Martha into trouble.
Jane knew that Martha did not want Stefan to know about Jimmy's existence and would not fall for Stefan again.
Jimmy's intentions were good. But things were not as simple as he thought.
She sighed helplessly and said indifferently. "That's what he should do. Your mother doesn't have to repay him."
As a father, Stefan had failed to protect his child.
Sending his child to a police station was nothing to be grateful for.
Jimmy blinked suspiciously and looked at Jane as if he were a grown-up.
"Jane, my mother told me that I should be grateful. You are teaching me the wrong worldview."
Jane was speechless.
She held her forehead and looked at Jimmy, upset.
Jimmy knew nothing.
There was nothing wrong with what she said. People should be grateful to those who once did them a favor. Yet Stefan had made so many mistakes, which was unforgivable to Martha.
Seeing this, Jimmy tugged at the corners of Jane's dress with his little hand, and stared at her gravely.
"Jane, we must return the favor even if it is a small one."
Jane could not help laughing at this.
She rubbed the hair on the little guy's head, and said earnestly, "Jimmy, you are too young to understand everything. Something is not what you think it is."
Jimmy tilted his head with a puzzled expression. "What is it like then?"
Jane glanced at the time, and said, "Ask your mommy tonight."
She was not in a position to tell Jimmy about Stefan.
Jimmy looked adorable as he scratched his head, obedient and confused.
He looked up again and asked, "Does my mommy know that gentleman?"
