Second Marriage novel Chapter 353

Alice wanted to tease Yanis for her shy expression. At this time, her phone rang.

At first, they looked at each other in confusion. After a moment, Yanis suddenly said, “We have a customer to meet today. I guess it’s called by that customer.”

Thinking of this, Yanis’ face changed. Then she turned to rush upstairs immediately.

Alice checked the time and found there was still an hour before they met the customer.

It was said that the actress would come to S City today. It would take them about 20 minutes to get there.

‘They still had enough time.’

Alice said in her heart. Five minutes later, Yanis got all dressed up and came down from upstairs. She handed her phone to Alice and ran to the shoe cabinet to put on her shoes.

“Help me call a taxi. We don’t have much time.”

Alice took her phone help her call a taxi.

She said, “Got it.”

Yanis took the phone and rushed out. She said, “It’s all your fault. You didn’t remind me last night when you knew you had an appointment today. And I got drunk.”

She closed the door.

Then Yanis continued to say with a depressed expression, “I lost face in front of Zain. Now I’m gonna be late.”

After she left, Alice went upstairs to wake up Jack.

He was still asleep when she entered the room. He was holding a big pillow in his hands, which looked very funny.

“Jack, it’s time to get up.” Alice sat down on the edge of the bed while calling his name.

“Well...” Jack replied to her but he didn’t move. He was still sleeping soundly.

Alice said, “It’s almost noon. You should get up.”

Then Jack looked at her with his sleepy eyes.

She was stunned by his eyes for a while.

His eyes were very similar to Kennedy’s.

Since Jack was born, she watched him grow up. When he was very young, Alice felt that his facial features were similar to Kennedy’s. At that time, she laughed at herself in mind for thinking of this.

She still remembered Kennedy in her heart, so she thought of Kennedy when she saw Jack.

But Yanis also mentioned the similarities between them, Alice felt scared because of her words.

She thought that Kennedy and Manfred were brothers so Jack looked like Kennedy.

Otherwise, how can they be so similar?

The boy grew up and he looked exactly like Kennedy now.

However, Jack was younger than Kennedy.

Alice didn’t figure out this question. Now she didn’t want to think about it. It was useless.

She just wanted to raise Jack and give him a happy life.

“Do you still want to sleep?” Alice was not angry and asked him gently.

Jack found it was his mother. Then he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, sat up, and said, “Well, Mommy, I seem to have overslept today.”

“You know you’ve overslept. What did you do last night?”

Jack was confused and said, “Mommy, I couldn’t sleep last night. Zain read me a long bedtime story.”

Alice thought of Zain after hearing his words. When she was talking to Zain last night, he seemed to be in good spirits. She didn’t expect that he slept so late.

He was good at hiding his emotions.

He didn’t take his body seriously especially in front of her.

Then she patted Jack on the cheek and said, “Okay, get up. Yanis had gone to work. Mommy will take you out to have breakfast later. Then we will go to the nearby supermarket to buy something we need.”

When Jack heard this, he immediately got up from the bed and said. “Okay, mommy. Please wait for me for ten minutes.”

He got up very quickly.

Alice went back to her room to change clothes and make up.

When she was all dressed up, she gazed at herself in the mirror.

She had become the person who couldn’t go out without makeup.

Sure enough, time changes things. She had changed a lot these years.

“Why do you suddenly move to S City from B City?”

A man stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back. His slender figure cast a long shadow on the floor. He was in a dark suit, which made him mature and charming. He has a good shape.

He overlooked the whole city with his deep eyes. Then he said, “Why do you like living in a high-rise building now?”

A middle-aged woman in a housecoat came out of the kitchen. She looked like a middle-aged woman with her hair tied casually. However, if you looked closely at her eyes, you could see wrinkles around her eyes. She was aged.

The woman put a dish of fruit on the table and took a bite of a grape.

She said, “Why do you suddenly come to find me? S City is a wonderful place with fresh air. I like it very much.”

He did not reply and still stood there motionless.

The woman looked at his back, ate a grape, and said, “Maybe you’re too lonely, so you came to find your aunt? But I can’t give you warmth. I also live alone.”

“Really?”

He said, “Why do you still live alone now? You are so old.”

“What are you talking about?” The woman said, “Do you think I want to be alone? I’m influenced by your mother. I witnessed that thing with my own eyes. Besides, I have already examined my body. I’m infertile. I choose to live alone. Your mother entrusted me with you. I’ll treat you as my son.”

Hearing this, the man turned around and frowned.

“You?”

“Yes?” The woman was so angry that she struck the table.

She was the little sister of Kennedy’s mother, Annie.

Annie went to pull his ear, but he kept away.

“Anyway, you must take care of me in the future.”

Kennedy glanced at her and took the key to the car. Then he started to leave.

“What are you going to do? I want you to buy something for me from the nearby supermarket.”
