My Sexy Wife novel Chapter 17

“All right, that's because I feel bad about it. Since you don't want it, then there's no extra.”

“Wait. Extra is always better than none. No one would reject earning more money, right?” Johnny said that with a bashful smile, looking like an idiot.

Jasmine couldn't stand it whenever Johnny acted like a gold grubber. She just said, “All right, I've told you before that money is not a problem. As long as you do it well, I'll treat you properly. Keep him company. He... he relies on you very much in his heart.”

Johnny nodded.

“Dad, I've washed my face. Let's go out and play!” Samuel dashed out after washing his face and grabbed Johnny's hand.

“Where are you going to play when it's so late now? Look at the time. It's almost 8 o'clock. Did you forget? You should go to bed when it's 8 o'clock.” Jasmine spoke sternly.

“No, no, I want to go out and play! I want to go out and play with dad, just for a moment, okay?”

“No!”

“I... I'll take him out and play for a while. It's Friday, he doesn't need to go to school tomorrow so he can sleep a bit later!” Johnny smiled as he said. He sincerely felt sorry for that boy.

“You don't understand. The most important thing for a child is to have enough sleep. Sleeping on the right time is crucial for him.” Jasmine rolled her eyes at Johnny.

“Is that so? You don't need to take everything so seriously, right? A child is also a person, who has his own feelings and need. He's not a machine that can fall sleep or wake up whenever you tell him to. What's wrong with giving him an appropriate amount of relaxation?” Johnny really disagreed with Jasmine's way of educating Sam.

“You don't need to teach me how to educate my son, alright?” Jasmine was fuming.

“Don't forget that I'm his dad. Son, I've made the decision to bring you out to play tonight. But we'll just play for a while and then we'll come home to sleep, okay? What do you want to play?” Johnny was also stubborn. No one could control him when he's made up his mind. He then carried Samuel and walked out the door.

“I want to play with the ball, I'll take the ball!” Samuel laughed as he rushed into the room and took a small basketball.

“Johnny, please be aware of your status.” Jasmine looked awfully sullen. She gritted her teeth as she said to Johnny.

“I know my status, but let me remind you. Although scientifically raising a child is the right thing to do, don't do everything exactly by the book. It's best to give him a relaxed environment and certain freedom. If you keep on restraining him with so many rules, do you think he'll be successful in the future? You don't need to remind me here. If you're unsatisfied then you can just fire me tomorrow.” Johnny retorted in a bad mood.

“Dad, here's the ball.”

“Okay, let's go, dad will teach you how to play it. We're not going far. Just play in the yard.” Johnny carried Samuel again and walked into the yard.

Thus, Johnny played ball with Samuel in the yard. The two of them played happily.

Jasmine stood by the window and watched them. Her face was stiff at first and she stared at Johnny coldly, but slowly, she was fascinated by the sight and started to smile. The scene in the yard was very harmonious and sweet. It was nothing special but she was quite moved.

“It seems that Mr. Franco likes Sam very much. I think he really likes him and he's not faking it.” Hannah walked over and said to Jasmine.

“Yeah, he has a loving heart; otherwise I wouldn't have chosen him.” Jasmine indifferently replied quietly.

Johnny didn't let Samuel play for a very long time, just 40 minutes before he told Samuel to go home and sleep. He didn't have a child and he didn't understand how to raise one, but he just felt that every child naturally loved to play and there's no need to restrict a child's nature. Some things just didn't need to be so serious. Of course, he also understood that he was just a fake dad and the child wasn't his, so he couldn't go over the line either. He played for a while before telling Samuel to stop. No one knew what's with that child. He wouldn't listen to his mom nor Hannah, but he followed almost everything that Johnny said. Johnny told him to go home and sleep, and he obeyed.
