Chapter 523Chapter 523 Melting in His Gentleness
Jason smiled, adjusted his position, and embraced her fully. With his free hand, he gently tidied her
disheveled hair.
Aletta leaned against him and looked up, asking, “Is work keeping you busy?”
He had arrived a bit later than usual to pick her up today, and Aletta said, “Otherwise, you wouldn’t
have to accompany me on this overseas trip. I can handle it myself.”
Jason shook his head and replied, “No problem. I’ve nearly finished my work, and I can accompany
you.”
In this matter, he couldn’t possibly let her face it alone.
Then he added, “Tomorrow night, I’ve arranged a dinner. Both our families will formally dine together!”
Aletta, surprised, raised her gaze and asked, “Both families? What do you mean?”
Jason’s gaze was gentle as he explained, “My grandfather and my parents.”
Upon hearing this, Aletta’s expression froze.
The car’s heater turned on.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookSoon, she felt warmth spreading through her body, and her complexion regained some rosy color. Her
watery eyes focused intently on Jason as she asked, “Why… so suddenly?”
Jason lifted his hand, lightly caressing her soft, dark hair, and slowly said, “It’s not sudden. I’ve already
proposed marriage, so it’s natural for both families to meet and formally confirm our relationship…”He paused, his distinct fingertips gently brushing Aletta’s cheek. With a serious tone, he continued,
“Although our child is on the way, and our relationship is stable now, it’s almost like being a family.
However…”
He paused again, his fingers tenderly stroking Aletta’s face. His words carried an indescribable
earnestness as he said, “I don’t want to withhold anything from you that you deserve. I will strive for
perfection and make up for what I lacked in the past.”
In Jason’s heart, there had always been regrets for what he owed her.
Now, he wanted to make up for everything he owed her.
Feeling the man’s sincerity, Aletta naturally felt happy in her heart. She nodded and replied, “Okay.”
However, she had some concerns in her mind.
After contemplating for a moment, she asked, “Your mother probably won’t agree to this, right?”
After all, Jenny didn’t like her, and that was well-known.
Thinking back to the times when she married into the Hills and faced constant criticism and
disparagement, Aletta couldn’t help but hesitate about this matter.
She loved Jason, but she also didn’t want their future life to be a mess again!
Sensing her worries, Jason lowered his voice and reassured. her, “You don’t need to worry about that.
Whether she agrees or not is not important.”
He continued firmly, “In my heart, I only want you, and I only want to marry you. That’s enough for me!”
And he added, “Furthermore, when you enter the family, you don’t have to regard her as your mother-
in-law until she accepts you. You can feel comfortable at home and tell me if there’s anything. I’ll takecare of it for you.”
Aletta remained stunned for a while, blinked her eyes, and looked at him uncertainly as she asked,
“Can it really be like this?”
She truly didn’t have much affection for Jenny, and she couldn’t just ignore everything Jenny had done
in the past.
But she also didn’t want Jason to be in a difficult position.
Jason remained composed and said, “Yes, it can be. As long as you’re happy. I can ignore my mother’s
unreasonable actions and behaviors from the past.”
Aletta stared at him, seeing his sincere and gentle gaze. The tight strings in her heart suddenly
loosened, and her whole. heart gradually melted in his gentleness.
She nodded, feeling a rare and precious sensation in her chest.
Finally, she felt the feeling of being favored by this man, and she could now be at ease with him in the
future…
Taking a deep breath, Aletta spoke up, “Alright then. I’ll inform my grandparents when we get back
later.”
“Okay.”
Jason replied and then took Aletta out for dinner.
Afterwards, he drove her back to Spring Villa and took the opportunity to inform the elderly Mr. and Mrs.
Rogers about the meal.Upon hearing this, the Rogers family naturally had no objections and eagerly agreed, saying, “Great,
we’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time!”
Although happy, the old lady still had some concerns and hesitated before asking, “Jason, your mother
won’t give Aletta a hard time, will she?”
They were well aware of the mistreatment Aletta had endured during her years with the Hills.
As a result, the old lady naturally held a great deal of dissatisfaction towards Jenny.
She remembered vividly how that woman used to bully her granddaughter.
Now that Aletta was marrying into their family, if she were to face more cold looks and unwelcome
treatment, they might have to reconsider this marriage…
Upon hearing these words, Jason was not surprised.
His expression became more serious, and he earnestly said, “No, I promise! My grandfather has
already warned her, and if she does anything again, Aletta can stand up for herself, and I won’t object
in any way!”
With Jason’s words, the Rogers family immediately felt relieved.
“That’s good!”
After discussing the matter, Jason prepared to leave and said, “Then I’ll take my leave and not disturb
you two from resting.”
Upon hearing this, Aletta went to get an umbrella and said, “I’ll walk you out.”
“We want to see Daddy off too!”The four children gathered around and followed behind their mother.
They walked together to the doorstep.
Aletta handed the umbrella over and in a gentle voice, tinged with sweetness, said, “Be careful on your
way back.””
Looking at the small woman standing on the porch, with a few strands of hair falling on her shoulders,
bathed in the warm yellow glow of the lighting, she appeared incredibly gentle.
Jason couldn’t help but lean down and kiss her forehead before taking the umbrella.
“Wait for me, I’ll come over tomorrow morning!”
Aletta smiled and nodded.
Lyla, who was watching nearby, felt jealous and said with a hint of bitterness, “Ever since Dad
reconciled with Mommy, he can’t even see our existence anymore! He doesn’t even give us kisses!”
Lucas chimed in, “This must be the legendary case of having a wife and forgetting about one’s son and
daughter!”
Nina whispered, “It seems that in Dad’s eyes, there’s only Mommy! We really went through so much
trouble trying to match them up back then.”
Listening to her daughters’ childish complaints, Aletta couldn’t help but laugh.
Jason also found it amusing and crouched down, looking at them with a playful tone, “Alright, I’ll give
you kisses too.”
Saying that, he gave their two darling daughters a kiss each.Lucas and Otto, however, took a step back and immediately declared, “We don’t need it; Mommy’s
kisses are sweeter!”
Ignoring their protests, Jason grabbed the two and kissed them as well.
Watching her handsome son reluctantly react to the kisses, Aletta couldn’t help but be amused.
Why was he so petulant?
Though he said no, his lips were practically reaching for the sky; he seemed quite happy!
Soon, Jason left, and Aletta entered the house with her four little ones.
