Billionaire's Reborn Baby novel Chapter 284

After Harold left, Emily could not calm down. So, she took out a brush and continued to paint.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated. She took it and checked the text message. It was from Vincent. There were only two words.

"I'm fine."

She was finally relieved.

On the other side, Rex put down Vincent's phone and looked up at the tightly closed operating room. His face was rigid, but he still remembered that when Vincent was sober, he grabbed his arm and said to him.

"Tell them I'm fine."

Rex knew Vincent wanted both Rolando and Emily to not worry.

"Rex, why are you here?" A female voice suddenly came from behind him.

With a worried expression, Rex turned around and saw Irene. She was wearing a trench coat, black culottes, and a bright red sweater. She looked cool and neat.

As Irene walked over and noticed Rex's worried look, her smile faded. She pointed to the operating room and asked in disbelief, "Is Vincent inside?"

Ever since she knew that Jaquan was with Arabella, Felice had hardly come to his apartment. However, in the past half a month, Jaquan didn't call her at all. Although she felt disappointed, she cooked dinner and brought it to him.

Jaquan got off work early these two days. Arabella couldn't leave home recently, so they kind of fell out of touch. After work, he would read the customer information or run on the treadmill for an hour.

Felice arrived at 4 p. m. and saw Jaquan running on the treadmill on the balcony. The window was open. He was wearing only a short shirt, but his face was covered in sweat since he had been running on the treadmill for more than an hour.

"Mom," Jaquan turned off the treadmill and wiped the sweat off his face with a towel. "Why are you here?"

"You don't go to see me. Can't I come to see you?" Felice put the dinner in the kitchen. Then she washed the fruit and put it on the tray.

"Of course, you can." Jaquan walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

Felice asked, "I cooked dinner for you. Why did you get off work so early?"

"OK," Jaquan nodded.

Felice said tentatively, "Jaquan."

Jaquan had just walked to the bathroom door. Hearing that, he turned around and said, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I..." Felice looked at Jaquan's expression in confusion. "I just feel that you don't look very happy. Do you have some problem at work?"

Jaquan felt as though he was being X-rayed, so he frowned and retorted, "No."

"Then what happened?" Felice asked. "You don't get along well with Arabella?"

"No, don't worry about it. We're fine." Jaquan entered the bathroom with a frown and said impatiently, "I'm going shower." As he said that, he closed the door.

"Oh, do you know where Emma lives?" Felice asked.

Jaquan immediately opened the door and looked at her nervously, "Why are you asking me that?"

"Your father has caught a lot of fish. I'm going to give her some. She likes the fish I cook." Felice sighed, "She didn't come. Perhaps because you're with Arabella, she feels embarrassed here."

Jaquan's back stiffened as he said impatiently, "I don't know." Then he slammed the door.

Felice murmured, "It's OK that you don't know. I won't blame you. Why are you so angry...?"

Jaquan took off his clothes and stood under the shower. In a fury, he closed his eyes. The warm water flowed down from his head. He suddenly remembered Emma's long white legs when she was bathing in Mount Phoenix and the big...

"Damn it!" Jaquan shouted as he washed his face casually. Then he took a towel and wiped himself carelessly. After getting changed, he went out.

Felice was cleaning the living room when she saw Jaquan coming out. She held up a bag and asked, "Are you hurt? Why did you buy so many bandages and medicines?"

Jaquan was wiping his head with a dry towel. Hearing that, he paused. Then he walked up to Felice and took it over. "No, I bought it for a rainy day."

Felice stared at him in confusion.

When they arrived at the Cox's, Jaquan didn't get off. Felice asked him to come down to see his father Allen. "Since you have come, go see your father."

Jaquan waved his hand and said, "Mom, hurry up and bring the fishes over."

Allen, who had just arrived at the door heard their conversation. He was cut to the heart.

Only then did Felice realize that Jaquan sent her back was purely for the fishes. However, on second thought, she found he was in such a hurry to give the fish to Emma.

Wasn't he with Arabella?

When Felice returned with the fishes, she looked solemn.

Jaquan placed the fish in the trunk and got in the car to leave. Noticing Felice's expression, he asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to give it to Emma?"

"..."

Felice was cross. "Jaquan, I'm telling you, you must do what your conscience tells you."

"Ah?" Jaquan looked at her confusedly.

Felice was worried that Jaquan didn't understand, so she put it bluntly. "I mean, you can't keep a foot in both camps. Do you understand?"

Jaquan got that and tightened his hold on the steering wheel. "Mom, I know."

Felice was relieved.

After Jaquan drove away, she covered her heart and said, "Why did I persuade him? It will be great if he and Emma get back together, but I feel sorry for Arabella."

Allen came out with his glasses on. "What are you whispering alone?"

"You won't understand." Felice looked at him with disdain, turned around, and went in.

Allen was cut to the heart again.
