Chapter 67 Rage For Beauty (1/2)
The next day was a cloudy day. After Jasper got up, he took his son to the grass and jogged for a while. After that, he went back to the bathroom and took a shower. When he went downstairs, it was almost 7 o'clock in the morning.
There were already many people sitting at the long table of the dining room. Abbott was serving the food on the table with two other servant. Seeing he came forward, they greeted to him immediately.
”Good morning, young master!”
”Good morning, boss!”
Jasper nodded and sat on the farthest side of the table. Then Nelson jumped into his arms with joy and innocence and said, ”Daddy, hold me.”
Hearing his words, Jasper couldn't help but smile. He put his son on his lap and handed him a glass of milk. The little boy wriggled in his arms. He held the milk cup with both hands and sent it to his mouth. ”Daddy, drink it.”
”Help yourself. I'll drink it later.”
The kid took the milk and drank it at a gulp. When it was seven o'clock, everyone else in the villa slowly came and began to eat breakfast with chopsticks. It was quiet when Jasper was at the table. No one talked. Only the slight sound of bowl colliding with chopsticks could be heard.
After breakfast, Nelson changed his clothes and began to sort out his schoolbag. Although he was short, he still didn't behave himself. He leaned on the sofa and hung his schoolbag from the couch. As Jasper was browsing the news on his phone, he held his hands to wrap the little boy up to protect him from falling to the ground. The boy asked as he sorted his schoolbag, ”Dad, is aunt Ashley not at home these two days? I haven't seen her.”
”She is at home. Your aunt has been in a bad mood these days, so she didn't come out of her room.”
”Okay.”
After Nelson left, Jasper waited for a while, but Ashley still didn't come out. He then looked towards the direction of the third floor, wondering whether she was still awake or she had forgotten about riding a horse. After looking at the sky and the clock, Jasper stood up and went to the study.
At nine o'clock, a gust of wind blew outside. The window of the study was open, and the papers on the table had been blown away. Jasper stood up and lowered the window a little.
”Knock, knock, knock!” There was a knock on the door.
”Come in!”
Bradley opened the door, ”Young master, horses have arrived.”
”Have you cleaned the rein?”
”Yes, I have.”
”Put the horses on the ground first, let them have a walk there.”
”Yes, Master.” After listening to the order, Bradley was going to unlock the bridle.
”Wait!” Jasper stopped him, ”Is Ashley still in the room?”
”Yes, Ashley didn't come out yesterday. I was worried about her, so I sent a maid to check her room. Then I knew that she had woken up for a long time. Do you want me to send the maid to check? Maybe Ashley has already got up. ”
”Okay,” Jasper stood up, ”Go and ask the maid to take a look. I'll go to see the horses. If Ashley wakes up, you come to find me on the lawn in the back.”
