Chapter 914
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
âI⦠Iâm not crying,â Felix replied, turning his head away a little awkwardly.
âYour eyes are clearly so red.â Jennifer moved in the direction of where Felixâs face turned to, then directly reached out toward his eyes with one hand and ran a finger under his eye.
In an instant, there was a touch of moisture on Jenniferâs small finger.
Jenniferâs movement was so abrupt that Felix couldnât guard against it at all.
âLook, your tears!â While speaking, Jennifer even stretched out her little tongue and licked the teardrop on her finger. âItâs salty!â
Felixâs face instantly turned redder, tinged with helplessness.
âWhy are you crying?â Jennifer leaned her tiny head forward. âIs it because your mommy is gone, Felix?â She had heard from her parents that Yvette had died in prison.
Jennifer thought, âFelixâs mommy died⦠which means heâll never see her anymore, right?
Itâs the same as shown on TV!â
Felix clenched his jaw and said nothing.
âIf my mommy is gone, I will definitely cry too, and I will cry for many, many days!â Jennifer added seriously. âIf you want to cry, I wonât laugh at you!â
It took a long time before Felix answered, âI wonât cry.â
Jennifer blinked and took out two pieces of chocolate from her pocket. âThis chocolate is delicious.
Every time I eat it, I wonât be sad anymore. Here, have one!â
Felix looked at the chocolates in Jenniferâs hand with slight confusion, musing, âDid Jen come to my room this late at night just to give me chocolate?â
Since Rosalie came back, Rosalie had ordered the housekeepers to arrange an independent bedroom for Felix, so recently, he had been sleeping alone in his new bedroom.
âI know you must be very sad.â Jennifer peeled off the chocolate wrapper as she spoke and brought the chocolate to Felixâs mouth. âOpen up!â
Jennifer even made a demonstration of widening her mouth to signal Felix to eat it.
Still, his tiny mouth was pursed tightly.
âTry it! Itâs delicious!â Jennifer urged, seemingly confused as to why Felix wasnât complying.
Felix continued to compress his lips while Jennifer maintained the posture of holding out the chocolate.
For a while, the two seemed to be in a stalemate.
A long time later, Felix suddenly asked, âWhy are you giving me chocolate? What does it matter whether Iâm sad or not?â
âWell, weâre friends! Youâre my very, very important friend, Felix!â answered Jennifer unhesitatingly.
Felix bit his lip and thought, âFriends? We are not friends at all, nor will we ever be friends! Iâm merely a toy that pleases her now!
If Jenâs unhappy, I will likely be punished by Mr. Youngblood!â Recalling those warnings from Jonathan, Felix couldnât help trembling again âFelix, donât you like chocolate?â Jennifer frowned, looking at a loss.
After hesitating for a bit, Felix ultimately opened his mouth and ate that piece of chocolate in Jenniferâs hand.
In an instant, the sweet taste spread in Felixâs mouth, but he didnât feel any better.
âIâm merely a toy, so I canât make Jen unhappy. If sheâs unhappy, I will suffer!â Felix reflected.
Felix lowered his head and chewed the chocolate in silence. All of a sudden, a sob sounded in his ears.
He raised his head rather perplexedly, only to see that Jennifer was now crying her eyes out.
This stunned Felix, for he couldnât understand why Jennifer would cry after he had already eaten the chocolate she ordered.
09:36 Felix swallowed the chocolate, then asked, âWhy⦠are you crying, Jen?â
âBecause⦠Because youâve lost your mommy, Felix,â Jennifer wept. âYou must be⦠must be very sad, but⦠but the chocolate I brought didnât make you happy⦠What on Earth should I do to make you happy? Boohooâ¦â
Felix was quite taken aback, thinking, âJen⦠wants to make me happy so badly?â
âItâs not like it matters⦠whether Iâm happy or not. Anyway, Iâm alone from now on,â Felix murmured.
âWho says it doesnât matter? It matters! It matters a lot!â Jennifer cried. âAlso, youâre not alone, Felix. I will be with you forever⦠You still have me⦠Waah!â
The more Jennifer cried, the louder she got. Without warning, Jennifer pounced on Felix and embraced him as she continued to wail.
Felix felt utterly strange. He was clearly the one who should be sorrowful right now, yet Jennifer was the one turning on the waterworks.
Nevertheless, somehow, the way Jennifer hugged Felix and cried made him feel warmer than when he was alone in the quilt earlier.
Thus, as if it was contagious, Felix couldnât resist crying either.
The tears Felix had been suppressing before finally rolled down his cheeks because of Jenniferâs cries.
Just like this, Felix and Jennifer held each other and sobbed together.
Only after a long time did their cries eventually come to a stop.
Despite Jenniferâs face being full of tears and snot, she raised the chocolate in her hand and said to Felix, âChocolate! I⦠I still have a piece here. Eat it, Felix!â
Felix looked at the chocolate in Jenniferâs hand. On the wrapper were some of her tears.
Felix took it, and when his fingertips touched the tears on the wrapper, he felt like he had been scalded.
Peeling off the wrapper, Felix divided the chocolate into two halves and brought one to Jenniferâs lips.
Jennifer blinked her tearful eyes. âFelix, this⦠this is for you!â
âWeâll share it,â Felix insisted.
Therefore, Jennifer opened her mouth and ate half of the chocolate while Felix put the other half into his mouth.
It was obviously the same chocolate as the one before, but this time, Felix found it so sweet and delicious. Felix took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the tears and snot on Jenniferâs face. âDonât cry like this in the future.â
Although Jenniferâs crying so hard for him made Felix feel warm as if he was not alone in this world and there was still someone who cared about him, Jenniferâs tears actually made Felix feel distressed. Felix still preferred to see Rosalieâs smile.
âOkay. If you donât cry anymore, I wonât cry either!â Jennifer answered. âFelix, we have to be together forever, okay?â
Felixâs eyelashes trembled mildly. âForever?
But I might leave here at any time. As long as Jen no longer likes being with me as much anymore, Mr.
Youngblood will make me leave the Youngblood residence.
So, we canât be together foreverâ¦
