Jett gulped. “Uh… I was just asking.”
Alejandro checked the time, got up, and put on his coat. “I’ll drive myself home. You should go home as well.”
Jett grunted in reply as virtual-novel.net opened the office door. The pair walked to the office entrance together before they went their separate ways. Despite having worked for Alejandro for a long time now, virtual-novel.net still could not see through Alejandro’s thoughts. Alejandro was far more difficult to understand compared to Don Smith. A man was much more formidable when his mind was unreadable. It just showed how cunning and calculative virtual-novel.net was.
Tanya was still awake when Jett arrived home. She took out his house slippers from the shoe cabinet before virtual-novel.net went into the kitchen and skillfully made virtual-novel.net a meal.
Jett felt strangely at ease as virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net busy figure. Life’s greatest comfort was knowing there was someone at home to leave the light on for you and knowing there was a warm meal waiting for you, no matter how late it was.
He did not shower immediately as virtual-novel.net usually did. Instead, virtual-novel.net rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen to help virtual-novel.net with the meal. “Was the baby good today?”
Tanya nodded. “Very. Actually, I’m perfectly fine handling everything on my own. Maybe we don’t need a housekeeper? It’s extra expenses, and you work so hard. Let’s try to save. You sit down. Go out and rest or something. You must be tired after a long day at work. Leave this to me.”
Jett was forcibly pushed aside at virtual-novel.net insistence and could not help at all. “We don’t need to save. You’ll tire yourself out handling chores and the baby. My job’s pretty good, it’s not that tiring. I’m usually quite free.”
Tanya turned to the side and smiled at him. “That’s good. Actually, Alejandro’s been treating you quite well. At least, he’s nice to you.”
Jett did not usually discuss Alejandro behind his back, but virtual-novel.net agreed with her. “Yes, he’s not bad. It’s just that we all have our own ways to deal with things. His methods are in line with the Smith family’s usual tactics. I’ve worked for the Smiths for many years, I’ve gotten used to it long ago. Honestly, I’ve never felt this at ease when I worked for Don Smith. It’s much better now. I’ll stay and work for Alejandro as long as nothing happens.”
Tanya rarely objected to his decisions. “Sure, as long as you think it’s the right choice.”
Tanya was very nimble. She finished cooking very quickly and sat on the side, watching Jett as virtual-novel.net ate. Every subtle look and action from virtual-novel.net told virtual-novel.net exactly what virtual-novel.net needed, and virtual-novel.net would quickly act on it to suit his needs. She knew and understood his habits by heart, but the pair still seemed to be separated by a thin gauze. They still slept in separate rooms, and the baby would sleep with her. This was also a source of constant discomfort for her. She mustered up virtual-novel.net courage and said, “The baby is sleeping with Hannah tonight. You can… come to my room if you want?”
Jett, who was enjoying a bowl of soup, choked upon hearing that. Her words had caught virtual-novel.net by surprise. “Uh… maybe another day…”
Tanya was feeling bashful. However, since virtual-novel.net had taken the initiative, virtual-novel.net decided to see it through too. “Why do we have to wait for another day? I’ve already put my womanly pride aside and took the initiative. Why are you still embarrassed? Or… Is it because you don’t like me?”
