Chapter 69 Wild Man
Actually, he was afraid to show up in front of his mom with Jason at the same time.
There were so many facts proving that he and Jason must be twins.
But he didn't enjoy any love from his dad these five years, and he enjoyed being spoiled and loved by his mom. Matthew was so scared that he wasn't the son of Jessica.
Jessica went back home and took a nap for an hour. And she felt better.
When she woke up, it was already at dust.
She called her son and was informed that he was on his way home.
Then she remembered that there was no food in the fridge.
Since Martha moved out, she had to do all the thing on her own.
Then Jessica took her purse and put on her flipflop.
She went out hurriedly and did a grocery shopping nearby...
Night fell and the lights were on.
Louis drove to the address which was given by Keith. And he came to the old town Jessica was living in.
Chicago was big but he hardly went to the old town.
He worried about Jessica when thinking of her pale face so that he drove his car to here.
The old town still kept its history. The alley was mixed and complex, and it was really hard for a car to get in or out...
Jason was dragging Matthew at the beginning, but now Matthew was dragging him.
"... Matthew Carter, can we call a cab? I am too exhausted..." It would take them tens of minutes walking from Linda's clinic to their home.
Jason didn't often walk and he got used to taking a school bus to home. The only time that he walked home was when he got a really bad mark on exams and he didn't dare to go home to see his mom. And then he was mistaken as Matthew and was taken to the house of the Carters.
Matthew peaked at him, "we missed the school bus. And we don't have enough money to take a cab."
"I should have asked uncle Johnny to give me some money..." Jason was complaining. "Matthew Carters, why are you so poor as a rich?"
Matthew's eyebrows were tightened and acted like an adult. "Living in the house of the Carters, you don't have to worry about money and anything since they would prepare and do anything for you."
"... You're right..." Thinking of the lives in the house of the Carters, he felt the same.
"Though mom will leave me some money at home, I will just use it when I need to."
"It's so hard for mom to make money." Jason felt the same.
Both of them were caring about their mom which was their common ground.
"So, Jason Wilson, don't act like a toff. Let's go."
Jason almost spit blood with anger when he heard what Matthew said.
"Hey, just be clear, you are born a toff, how dare you mock at me?"
"Fine, but I am the prince but you are the frog."
"What?" Jason was mad and shouted, "Enough! Matthew Carter, if you dare to mock at me, I will ask mom to throw you out..."
Matthew was speechless.
"I knew that you are scared that mom doesn't want you."
Since Jason was born, he was hugged and fed by his mom. He was a child who grew up with mother's love. He had been living with mom for five years, how could Matthew, such a gloomy and boring kid take place of him? Jason was thinking in mind proudly.
Then he was dragging Matthew who looked so upset in the front and strove proudly.
Jessica went out of the market carrying bags of food.
When she was passing through an alley, she saw a black limousine which blocked the road was parking at the entrance of the alley.
Her heart was tightened when she saw the car which she was so familiar with.
Especially when she saw the license plate, she was sure who he was.
Louis Carter!
Why he was here?
She was carrying the food tightly and she found that she didn't take a phone with her since she was too hurry.
Then she walked up...
Louis was sitting in the car, smoking.
Even though he was in the car, it was attracted people's attention in the old town.
He didn't care about that. He adjusted his tie and called Jessica.
But she still didn't answer.
"Damn it!" He cursed in a low voice and began annoyed.
Though he didn't want to admit that, he was scared when he saw Jessica was pale and sweating.
He took a deep breath.
He had always been composed and calm. But since he met Jessica, he changed a lot.
Quietly, even he himself didn't know where he was different.
When he was pondering over it, someone was knocking his window.
He looked at the window and he saw Jessica's fair-skinned face.
His heart was pounding fast and gazed at her quietly. Then pressed the button to roll down the window.
Jessica said in a slightly disdainful voice, "Louis Carter, I don't care if you are showing off. But do you know that you are blocking the road? Besides, this is old town, why are you coming here? Do you want to flirt with those aunties and let them suffer from high pressure? How cruel are you!"
Louis frowned and peeked at those people who were looking and gossiping him. He finally noticed that they were all aunties.
And they were all blushed when they looked at him.
Louis was so embarrassed and his blue veins stood out on his face. How dare she said that he was flirting with the aunties!
He was the CEO of the Carters Group! He was wealthy and powerful!
Louis gave a fierce glance at Jessica and said, "get in!"
Jessica shook her head and replied. "No, I am going home to make dinner."
He peeked at the bags of food in her hands and glanced at what she was wearing.
His eyes were softened.
He had to admit that he felt it so warm when he saw her dressing like that.
Louis was silent for a while. After a battle of his mind, he said to Jessica.
"I haven't had dinner yet. Nice."
Jessica was shocked.
What he meant was that he would go to her home and had dinner with her.
"What do you mean?" She pouted her lips.
"Just literally." He answered like a haghty peacock. From his expression, Jessica could feel that he was like saying, "I think highly of you so that I go to your home and have dinner with you. You must be grateful." She wished she could tear his face. Jessica was having a battle in her mind since her son might be at home now.
If Louis went up to her home, how would he react?
She wasn't afraid that Louis knew that she had a son, she was fear that Jason couldn't accept that she brought a stranger man home.
Because the absence of father's love made Jason felt deeply that no one could take place of his dad.
Louis saw that she seemed in a dilemma then he was a bit angry.
"Why? Are you hiding a wide man in your home?" He blurted out and he didn't notice that he was jealous. He always dressed so decently and properly. But now he was pulling open his collar unconsciously.
With angry, Louis stared at Jessica and gave her a cold look and he seemed like a cuckold suddenly.
Jessica peeked at him feeling him so boring. "Louis Carter, you are so mean. Can you just stop overthinking? Do I need to hide a man?" And she chimed, "If I do hide a man, you are the wild man I am hiding!"
"Me?" Louis was angry and stared at her, "Damn it? You said I am a wild man?"
Obviously, he wasn't happy about what she said.
"Yes, totally! I don't want to talk to you." Jessica peeked at him then picked up the bags of food and turned around, walked out of the alley...
"Wait!" Louis snapped at her and opened the car door immediately. He got out from the car and those aunties were looking at him with love... Jessica frowned, "what do you want?"
"I told you. I haven't eaten yet!" It seemed that he might still park the car here and followed her to her home.
Jessica glanced around and she saw those aunties were gossiping about him.
She was so embarrassed that she didn't want to be watched by them. She gnashed her teeth and stared at him, "go and park your car somewhere else."
Louis smiled secretly but his smile was gone in a second. "There are so many alleys here and I am not familiar with. So, you need to guide me."
"No one would be more shameless than you. You've got too much time on your hands, haven't you? No one asked you to come here!" Jessica rolled her eyes and complained. But she still showed him the way and asked him to park the car in the broader alley. Just then, Matthew and Jason almost arrive home and they were so tired.
"Wow, we almost arrive..." Jason saw the old building and the complex and mixed roads in the front, he was so excited.
It seemed that they had walked for ages.
Matthew nodded his head and he looked tired as well.
Obviously, they were both exhausted.
Just then, Jason's phone was ringing.
He let go Matthew's hand and whipped his wave hair then answered the phone.
"Hello, uncle Johnny..."
Jason just spoke out these two words then he was scolded by Johnny on the phone. 0000
