The next morning,
The sun had just risen.
Jack got up early and went out for exercise with Brent.
Because of the injury, Jack temporarily stopped the hell-like training, but only carried out basic physical training.
But, Jack was still sweating at the end of the exercise.
Looking at Brent, whose upper body was naked, Jack wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Brent, you are too strict with yourself."
Although Brent didn’t exercise as hard as Jack had done before,
But Brent had kept exercising for many years.
It was hard to stick to one thing for many years.
If it wasn’t for George’s presence that made Jack feel the threat of death, Jack would not have been so strict with himself.
Brent’s skin was bronze, and now there was sweat on it, shining in the sunlight.
Brent wiped the sweat from his chest and said with a smile, "Exercising is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. Therefore, I can’t slack off in it."
The two men came home talking and laughing.
Daisy was cleaning the living room.
As soon as she saw Brent’s upper body naked, Daisy’s face turned red. She screamed and lowered her head.
"What’s the matter?"
Brent was puzzled.
Jack raised his eyebrows, slapped Brent on the chest and whispered, "Daisy is a girl. Pay attention to what you wear."
Brent understood, then quickly covered his chest with his clothes and explained, "Daisy, I’m sorry. I, I didn’t mean it."
Daisy took a deep breath and said calmly, "I’m OK. Brent, your chest muscles are so great..."
Brent raised his eyebrows, scratched his head, and grinned, "Well, so are you."
Jack was speechless.
Brent was such a fool. Men’s and women’s chest muscles, of course, were different.
Seeing Daisy was shy, Jack kicked Brent’s ass and said, "Take a bath and change clothes, quickly!"
Brent was startled and didn’t understand what Jack meant. But he didn’t dare to disobey Jack and went back to his room.
Jack walked to Daisy and reassured her, "Daisy, don’t blame Brent. He is silly, not understanding these things."
"Well, I see, Mr. Hughes."
Daisy answered in a low voice, with her head down.
Seeing Jack leaving, Daisy suddenly said, "Mr. Hughes, can I take a day off today?"
"Take a day off? Do you have something important today? "
Jack frowned slightly. He didn’t want Daisy to ask for leave because his mother had just left the hospital and needed careful care.
As soon as Daisy left, he had to go to work, and his mother was left unattended.
As for Brent, he was not very smart. Jack couldn’t expect Brent to take good care of his mother.
"Yes, I have something important to do today."
Daisy also knew the current condition of Jack’s mother. Her hands were tightly intertwined. She bit her lip, "If not, it doesn’t matter."
It was difficult for her to get this job. Her treatment was better than that of her peers, and Sophie was very nice to her.
So Daisy valued this job very much.
Jack took a look at Daisy’s hands, to be exact, the calluses on her hands.
Jack smiled and said, "OK. Go early and come back early. Remember to call me if you need help."
"Thank you, Mr. Hughes." Daisy felt very happy.
.....
It was more than ten o’clock.
Outside TM Villa District, a taxi stopped.
And it was impossible for her to contact Jack in person, because her phone number had been placed on Jack’s blacklist.
But how could she keep her good son-in-law if she couldn’t see Jack and give him her presents?
Thinking of this, Elissa threw everything in her hands on the floor.
Then, unexpectedly,
"Pa!"
Elissa slapped the security guard in the face and yelled, "Who are you? You’re just a watchdog. How dare you stop me? Open the door, or don’t blame me for beating you."
How harsh her voice was! What a rude woman she was!
The sudden slap made Kieran shiver.
The security guard was stunned.
Another security guard quickly informed the property office with a walkie-talkie, and then quickly ran to the security guard who was slapped.
Before he could speak,
Elissa became ferocious and slapped the security guard who just came to them.
"Ouch! The watchdog has helper! Do you want to kill me?"
The security guard covered his face in pain. Facing Elissa’s rude behavior, the security guard was extremely angry.
But neither of them dared to beat Elissa. They needed to wait for a response from the property office.
In the face of the two security guards’ non response, Elissa became more aggressive.
With one hand on her waist and one hand pointing at the two security guards, she cursed, "I tell you my son-in-law is Jack, the most distinguished resident in your villa area. I’m going to visit my son-in-law today. Get out of here, or my son-in-law will give you two no chance to be a watchdog!"
The two security guards were silent and did not dare to scold her.
But the walkie-talkie of the security guard had been connected to the property office.
Elissa’s words were heard by the property manager.
The property manager didn’t dare to delay this matter, so he called Jack to confirm it.
