Chapter 524 Never Let Her Down in This Lifetime
Early the next day.
After Aletta finished breakfast with her grandparents and the four children, they suddenly heard somecommotion outside the door.
Lyla quickly ran to the French window, pulled back the
curtains, and exclaimed, “Wow, there are so many cars parked outside!”
These cars belonged to the Hills, all neatly lined up at the entrance.
Soon, several black-clad bodyguards got out of the cars, with Jason among them.
Seeing this, Lyla immediately rushed to open the door and exclaimed, “Mommy, Daddy is here!”
Today, Jason was dressed in a well-fitted dark suit, looking exceptionally formal. He even wore a tie,appearing composed and dignified. Every move he made exuded an aura of nobility and charm. Hewas incredibly handsome!
He emitted the allure of a mature man, giving a sense of security just by looking at him.
After he got out of the car, Eaton instructed the bodyguards to start moving things inside the house.
Aletta, with the four children, instinctively made way at the entrance.
Watching this scene, she couldn’t help but be surprised and asked, “Are you moving in?”
At that moment, Jason also walked over.
He chuckled and explained clearly, “No, these are betrothal gifts.”
“???”
All these big and small boxes were betrothal gifts?
Isn’t this… too much?
Aletta was completely stunned, unable to utter a word.
Old Mr. Hill also came down from the car, seeing her expression, he smiled and said, “Girl, is itnecessary to be so surprised? I think it’s still not enough!”
Aletta glanced at the crowded living room, which had become a bit cluttered in such a short time, andcouldn’t help but laugh, “Still not enough?”
Mr. Rogers and his wife arrived after hearing the news.
Seeing the scene, the old gentleman exclaimed, “These are all good things!”
“Yes!”
Old Mr. Hill replied with a smile, “Of course, the things given to my daughter-in-law must be good!”
While speaking, the items were quickly moved inside, and both parties took a seat in the house.
Old Mr. Hill took a sip of tea, as if brewing something.
Then, he looked serious, with a slightly solemn tone, and said, “After so many years, sitting down againto discuss the marriage, I feel a bit ashamed. Back then, I personally promised both of you that I wouldtreat Aletta well, but in the end… I didn’t live up to it. She suffered so much, and I’m truly sorry!”
Upon hearing this, before the elderly couple could speak, Jason spoke sincerely, “It was my fault backthen. I treated Aletta poorly.”
Old Mr. Hill immediately echoed, “Yes, this kid was indeed unreliable.”
“But, the Hills also have their share of responsibility… However, this young couple has reconciledagainst all odds. It’s not easy, so, with a humble face. I’ve come to propose again, hoping that both ofyou would agree to this marriage.”
After hearing this, the elderly couple, the Rogers Family, exchanged glances and instantly understoodtheir intentions.
Past matters were not brought up again, but the attitude in seeking their approval was indeedcommendable!
With a smile on Mr. Rogers’ face, he spoke first, “We definitely agree to the marriage. Jason is anoutstanding young man, and we can see the current situation between him and Aletta. We know thathe genuinely cares for her… We don’t have many concerns.”
The old lady nodded in agreement.
However, she had more concerns. “I have a few things to say to Jason,” she said, grabbing hergranddaughter’s hand and affectionately patting it. She spoke gently to him, “Once your two settledown, make sure to take good care of our little girl. She has suffered since she was young, and afterbeing. recognized as part of the Rogers Family, she has endured so much. The Rogers Family owesher an apology too! Now that we, the two old folks, are getting older and have fewer desires, we justhope that she will have a peaceful and happy future, filled with well-being. So, after you two getmarried, you must not let her down again!”
Jason heard these words and couldn’t help but look at Aletta, and earnestly said, “I will, absolutely!Never again will I let her down!” In this lifetime, he would never disappoint her again!
The old lady nodded with reassurance, reluctantly letting go of Aletta’s hand and handing it over toJason. Sensing his firm. grip. Aletta smiled and looked into his eyes. In their gaze, there was nothingbut deep affection for each other. The elders watched this scene of deep love and felt content.
At this moment, the four children spoke up, saying, “Grandpa and Grandma, rest assured! If Dadmistreats Mom, we won’t allow it.”
“Yeah, if Dad makes Mom angry, we’ll make him kneel and wash clothes on the washboard!”
Old Mr. Hill was the first to stand up and enthusiastically agreed, “That’s right! We’ll count on you tokeep an eye on him!”

“No problem!” The four kids patted their chests and promised with adorable earnestness.
With the matter settled, Old Mr. Hill took the opportunity to mention, “I’ve invited Jay and his wife tohave dinner together tonight.”
The two old folks of the Rogers Family glanced at each other. Although they didn’t particularly want tosee Jenny, the Hills had already made the suggestion, so they didn’t want to make things difficult either.
Mr. Rogers nodded and said, “Alright, you can make the arrangements.”
Seeing that everything went so smoothly, Old Mr. Hill was in a great mood. “Let Jason handle it. I don’thave much to do today. It’s been a while since we played chess together. How about a couple ofgames?”
“Sure!” The two old gentlemen became enthusiastic when it came to playing chess and eagerly set upthe chessboard.
As Old Mr. Hill made his moves, he urged Jason, “You don’t have anything to do here. Go back to thecompany and make more money for your family!”
Jason looked at his grandfather’s urging attitude and responded somewhat helplessly, “Alright.” Evenwithout Old Mr. Hill’s reminder, he was already planning to return to the company. Tomorrow, he wouldaccompany Aletta on their trip abroad, so he needed to take care of his current tasks.
After Aletta finished brewing tea for the two old gentlemen, she got up together with Jason and said,“Let me go with you.
There are some data adjustments that need to be made in the R&D department. It’s best to resolvethem today, so we can have peace of mind tomorrow.””
“Okay,” Jason agreed.
The two of them then left together. Jason went to his office at Hill Group, while Aletta headed to theR&D department. Everything was going smoothly.
However, in the afternoon, Eaton received a phone call. The caller was Robin. Urgent and anxious, hisvoice rushed through the line, “Eaton, I have an emergency to inform you… Here’s the situation. A fewdays ago, after I brought my daughter back, I arranged for her to receive treatment, including seeing apsychologist. Initially, she seemed fine, but today, she managed to sneak away… I don’t know if shewent back to Los Angeles again, so I wanted to ask Eaton or Mr. Hill to let me know if you come acrossher… Please don’t hurt her.”
Upon hearing this, Eaton furrowed his brow and couldn’t help but say, “Can’t you even keep an injuredperson under control?” The memory of Joe’s unreasonable behavior was giving him a headache.
Robin also had his grievances, “I’ve arranged for people to watch her as much as possible. I evenassigned several bodyguards to her residence, but I never expected her to replace a way to escape…”
After listening to his words, Eaton felt deeply speechless. After hanging up the phone, he realized thathe needed to inform their master about this matter. He turned around and went to replace Jason to report.
Jason’s previously good mood started to fade upon hearing the news, and his face grew serious. Heinstructed Eaton,
“Keep an eye on her and don’t let her get near Hill Group. Alette and I are doing well now, and I don’twant any disturbances.”
Eaton nodded in agreement.
