A short separation was better than being newlyweds.
Perhaps Jasper was gone for too long, so on this night, Wendy was behaving extremely wild.
Since Dawson was still at home, the two of them still had to control themselves while they were having fun. There was always a kind of excitement of doing bad things while other adults were around.
In any case, Wendy was mostly cured of her cold after sweating for most of the night.
The next morning, Jasper snuck out of bed to take his shirt and coat before leaving the room. He was scared of waking Wendy, who was still sleeping among the blankets in the messy bed.
Jasper even woke up slightly earlier to prevent running into Dawson. However, the moment he opened the door, he saw Dawson walk out of his room.
The old man and the young man looked at each other.
“…”
Jasper wanted so badly to turn around and lock himself in the room.
“Go have breakfast.”
Dawson understood Jasper’s embarrassment. After he said that insipidly, he walked downstairs with his hands behind his back.
Jasper quickly put on his shirt and coat before he cleaned himself up. When he went to the dining room downstairs, Dawson was already done and was reading the newspaper.
A glass of warm milk, a bowl of noodles, two hotdog buns, and a sunny side up were Jasper’s very interesting breakfast.
“What are you going to do next?”
Dawson broke the silence.
Jasper swallowed his milk and said, “I need to go to Suesville in the afternoon.”
Dawson nodded and did not say anything.
When Jasper saw that Dawson had no intention of continuing to speak, he picked up the bowl to drink some soup. He used this opportunity to lower his head and hide his embarrassment.
After all, he had worked Dawson’s daughter hard last night.
When Dawson saw that Jasper was almost done, he finally spoke again.
