Billionaire's Reborn Baby
Chapter 176 Be Considerate

Only after Randy told her did Arabella know that Emma stayed at Jaquan's. In the evening, she called Jaquan and said that she would come to visit Emma at night. After all, the wound on Emma's leg was aggravated because of the efforts to save Arabella.

Before hanging up, she asked hesitantly, "Why do you let her stay at your home?"

Jaquan had just won a lawsuit for a client, and he was in a good mood. The law firm had planned to celebrate for him tonight, and he was thinking of ordering vegetable pancakes for the two people at home. When he heard that Arabella was coming over, he cancelled the celebration party. He tidied up his desk and came out of the office. His car had been repaired, and it was not raining tonight. Everything went smoothly.

He was delighted with Arabella's question, directly asking, "Are you jealous?"

Arabella snorted on the other end of the phone, "You are thinking too much. She's married and has a child. Why would I be jealous of her? Besides, I don't like you. Why would I get jealous? I'm just curious. Why are you willing to take her in? I heard that she lives in the countryside. Is it because she can't afford to stay in a hotel?"

Jaquan was feeling depressed because she said she didn't like him, but when he heard her last sentence, he frowned slightly. "She can afford that, but there's a reason."

Arabella asked, "What's the reason?"

"I don't know the exact reason, but she... Well, she has a strong personality." This was how Jaquan thought of Emma, who directly denied when she was mistaken as his girlfriend by Mrs. Cox. She didn't pretend like those affected women. The next day after she refused Mrs. Cox, he received a call from Mrs. Cox, telling him Emma was honest and frank, much better than those scheming women. She also asked him to treasure Emma instead of chasing after Arabella, who would not ever love him...

This was the first time Arabella had seen Jaquan praise another woman in front of her, and she felt upset. "Strong personality? Because she chooses to stay at your home?"

"Arabella, aren't you jealous of her for staying at my home?" Jaquan walked to the garage and put on Bluetooth, tossing his phone to the car seat.

Arabella snorted, "I'm hanging up."

"Alright. I'll tell you. Because she saved you." Jaquan smiled and solemnly repeated, "Because she saved you. I am very grateful to her, so I want to repay the debt that I owe her." "Because of this?" Arabella sounded a little happier.

Jaquan nodded. He knew she could not see him, but he looked at the road ahead with deep affection in his eyes. "Yes, it is because of this." "Jaquan, thank you," Arabella said happily, "I'll come over tonight and take her to my home so I can look after her. After all, she saved me." Jaquan said, "She'll leave in two days. Don't bother."

"Okay. That's good." Arabella thought for a while and then said, "I'll ask a chef to make her a feast as my thanks to her for saving my life." "Okay."

When Jaquan was about to drive into his compound, he passed by the pancake eatery at the gate. The woman standing at the gate was the owner who had been delivering vegetable pancakes to his home these days. She greeted him from afar, "Mr. Cox, are you ordering pancakes tonight?"

Jaquan shook his head and was about to say no, but he changed his mind as he was worried that the chef Arabella chose would not arrive in a short time. It was better to buy some food for Emma and Stony to eat and ease their hunger. When the chef came, they could taste the dishes later.

He flashed two fingers. "Two."

"Alright!" The owner went in the eatery.

Not long after, she took out two freshly made pancakes and said to Jaquan, "Mr. Cox, your son looks like you. He is very polite, sweet and sensible. Most importantly, he looks handsome."

The mother and son had been eating vegetable pancakes from the eatery these two days. Jaquan placed the orders on his phone every time. As Emma was confined to bed, Stony opened the door every time the eatery owner went to deliver the pancakes. In the beginning, the owner was worried that he had encountered some bad guys, so she chatted with him. As they met quite often, they got familiar with each other.

Jaquan smiled and waved his hand. "You are mistaken. He's not my son. He's the child of my friend. They are staying at my home for a couple of days. I'm not married yet."

"He's not your son?" The owner didn't believe him. "But you two look exactly alike."

There was a car honking behind him, so Jaquan had to drive inside. He handed over the money and waved at the eatery owner. "Thank you."

"Hey, your change." She looked at the one-hundred note in her hand and thought for a moment. 'Forget it. He will place the order again, and I'll give him the change then.'

Just as Jaquan was about to enter the password of the lock, the door clicked open from inside. Stony looked at him with a smile, "Mr. Jaquan, you are back!"

"How do you know it's me?" Jaquan entered to change his shoes, casually stroking the boy's head.

"Because you are the only one who will enter the password when you come. I heard the noise when you pressed the keys." Stony eagerly brought him his slippers, took the pancakes in his hand, and put his bag on the shorter table.

Jaquan saw that although Stony was such a small child, he did all this neatly. He thought that the child was used to doing things for adults like this at home. Suddenly, he liked this child more. "Are you abused at home? Why would you do everything?"

Stony said solemnly with a childish yet clear voice, "Mom says that children are the happiest because they don't have to worry about anything, while adults are the hardest. Therefore, we have to be considerate and share their burden. Even though they are tired from work, they will be happy if we children behave well."

Amused, Jaquan squatted down and faced Stony. He smiled and asked, "You actually understand what your mother teaches you?"

Stony said seriously, "Mom works very hard to bring me up. As her son, I can't share her burden. I can only behave well every day and make her happy."

The smile suddenly froze on Jaquan's lips. The child was so sensible, while he, as an adult, did not understand this truth.

He touched Stony's head and said, "Thank you for teaching me a lesson." He stood up and pointed at the two pancakes on the table. "Take them and eat with your mother."

Stony tilted his head. Although he did not understand why Jaquan suddenly thanked him, he docilely took the pancakes into the room.

Jaquan stood alone in the living room. A moment later, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"It's rare that you take the initiative to call me. What's up? What do you want to eat?" Jaquan knew from her voice that his mother was smiling.

He suddenly felt a little guilty. He paused, as he didn't know what to say. He managed to utter, "Where's Dad?"

"Have you got into trouble outside? Why do you suddenly look for your father? What's wrong?" Mrs. Cox stopped smiling.
