Chapter 714
Johanna merely grunted.
Seeing how unenthused she was about entertaining him, Timothy fell silent briefly before he fished out a gift box from his pocket. “I had been too busy to come when Asel celebrated her full moon, so this is my gift for her.”
“I've already seen for myself exactly how “busy” you were, Mr. Jensen.” Your schedule must be awfully tight if you have had to make time for lunch dates with women alongside everything else you have to do in the office.
While Timothy watched her lower her head to open up the gift box, he placed a hand on the back of the chair's backrest. “Is it just me, or do you sound a wee bit jealous?”
“When will you ever stop being so narcissistic, Timothy Jensen?” Raising her head, Johanna looked the man right in the eye. “Even if you are a slab of gold, you're way too heavy for anyone to enjoy holding on to indefinitely.”
Whatever hopefulness Timothy might have harbored was dashed to pieces by her words.
Never one to mince her words. That's my Johanna.
From the gift box, Johanna took out an exquisite silver bracelet. “I'd put it on Asel when I get back in the afternoon.”
When Timothy noticed her shifting the focus onto their daughter, he took out his own phone. “Have you taken any photos or videos of Asel these past few days? Send me a copy, will you?”
“Sure.” Selecting all of the media from her own photo album, Johanna then sent them all to the man.
Timothy went through them one by one to appraise the little girl's rosy visage. The inside of those black-colored eyes of hers was bright and dazzling like stars.
The sight of her simply made his heart melt. Resisting the urge to kiss the photo, he went on to designate it as his phone's screensaver.
“Have you gotten used to the new place?” Timothy asked Johanna.
"Yeah.”
“Has Asel been good?”
“I guess so. The nanny is the one who takes care of her most of the time.” According to the nanny who was taking care of Asel, the kid did not fuss, slept after meals, and was also consistently in a good mood. That, in her own experience, placed Asel among one of the easiest children to take care of.
Fiddling with his own phone, Timothy said, “I'd come by to see Asel the day after.”
