Chapter 256 Jimmy Has Been Living in Pain
With a little more time, their relationship might be able to go further as well.
At this time, Jane and Joel, also sitting in the conference room, could not help but look at each otherand resignedly shrugged their shoulders for what just happened.
Martha saw this look of Stefan and felt slightly helpless.
In the end, she just had to change the subject with business matters.
"About this cooperation case, Louis will have further deployment plan for us. Jane will be in chargeof negotiating with them, and we will talk about other matters in detail then."
When Jane and Joel heard this, they nodded and answered "yes".
Martha turned over the documents in her hand and looked at the two people in front of her with asmile. "Okay, that's it for today's meeting."
Jane and Joel nodded, got up and left the conference room.
Martha, on the other hand, after packing up the documents, glanced at Stefan.
Stefan still looked at her with a lot of affection as if he didn't want to leave.
Seeing this, Martha didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and left the office.
Apart from the demands of her job, she didn't want to deal too much with Stefan.
After she left the conference room, she raised her hand and glanced at the watch on her wrist. Itwas already eleven o'clock. She curled her lips into a smile.
It was almost lunchtime for Bianca to ask what Jimmy wanted to eat and then call her.
Since Jimmy returned to the Doyle Manor, she would return home every day at noon to have lunchwith them. The food was decided by Jimmy, and she then went to buy ingredients to cook.
Just as she thought of this, a pleasant ringing tone came from her cell phone the next second.
Martha became softer and picked up the phone with a smile when she saw Bianca's name on thephone.novelbin
"Have you finished your work today?" Bianca's gentle voice rang out.
"Sure yeah." Martha answered softly, then smiled and asked, "What does Jimmy want to eat?"
"He said he wanted to eat crispy pork knuckles and fish soup."
Bianca said over the phone with laughter; obviously she just talked to Jimmy.
Martha thought of that scene and her voice became more tender.
"Okay, I'll go to the supermarket now."
After hanging up the phone, Martha thought it was just right to go to the supermarket from work nowand buy something to cook back home.
But the next moment, the person she didn't want to see appeared beside her, walking with her sideby side. It seemed that he also wanted to leave the company.
Martha frowned slightly and looked unhappily at the man.
"The meeting is over. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Can't I leave the office with you if there's no business work?" Stefan raised his eyebrows andasked a question back freely.
Hearing this, Martha looked at him unpleasantly, and her answer was very cold, "Does Mr. Harrisonhave any work-related matters for me?"
"No." Stefan frowned, and his cold voice sounded beside Martha.
No sooner had his words words come out than Martha's cold voice followed, "I'm off duty, and nowit's my private time."
"Coincidentally, I'm looking for you not for business matters either, but for personal matters," Stefansaid in a light tone.
Martha frowned more, but Stefan offered to "help" before she could react.
"Didn't Jimmy say he wanted to eat something? Let's go buy it for him together."
Martha became gloomy hearing the word "we", and she looked at the man at her side moredistantly.
She was not used to such a change of Stefan, and didn't want to get used to it.
There was little affection for each other between them, and a divorce was only a matter of time.
Thinking of this, she indifferently rejected him.
"I won't trouble you with that. I can go alone."
Stefan smiled lightly to ease the tense atmosphere despite his changed look in his eyes.
"I haven't visited Jimmy since he was discharged from the hospital, and I want to take thisopportunity to go see him."
Martha walking next to him could hear his meaning that he wanted to see their child, but did hehave to go to the Doyle Manor?
"I'm just afraid that you will be evicted by the maids of the Doyle family before you could step in."Martha glanced at the man beside her and said mockingly.
Stefan's mouth twitched. He understood that the Doyles did not welcome him, so he would onlyinvite troubles for himself if he did go there.
However, he was just unwilling to give up like this.
"Then let me give you a ride, will you?" He pursed his lips for a long time and then said gently.
"No need."
Martha replied indifferently, and left more quickly.
She walked fast, and Stefan also followed more quickly. He said something different this time yet.
"Jimmy is also my child, I wasn't there for him as a father for four years, so I really want to make itup to him. Please let me go shopping with you today."
His begging made Martha who was decisive hesitant.
"Jimmy loves dessert, so you can send me to a fun cake store." After a long time, she agreed.
Stefan froze, then softly responded with a smile hanging on his face.
Soon, he drove Martha to the nearest fun cake store.
Stefan saw a chocolate cake in the cake store and immediately called the waiter to pack thechocolate cake.
"Jimmy does not like chocolate flavor." Martha frowned slightly and said faintly.
"Aren't all boys supposed to like the flavor?" Stefan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
Yet the question was coldly retorted by Martha.
"He likes the mango flavor, not the chocolate flavor."
"Then he can try the chocolate flavor."
In Stefan's opinion, Jimmy used to spend most of his time in the hospital and may not have eatenmuch chocolate flavored stuff, so he should try it.
But Martha was a little annoyed hearing that.
She had already told Stefan that Jimmy did not like chocolate flavor, and why did this man alwaysargue with her?
"I want this mango-flavored cake, please." She looked coldly at Stefan and turned to look at theclerk.
The clerk looked at them with some difficulty, not knowing which one she should listen to.
Just at this time, Stefan's said coldly, "Take that chocolate flavored cake too, in case Jimmy likes it."
"Do you know the kid? What makes you think he likes that flavor?" Martha frowned, looking atStefan coldly.
Stefan stiffened, pursing his lips without saying a word.
And Martha looked at him coldly and sternly, and the words that came out were like a sharp bladestabbed straight into Stefan's heart. "I'm telling you that he hates chocolate the most because ittastes too bitter, and Jimmy hates it because he lives in pain all the time."
Stefan was silenced and only felt a pain at his heart hearing this - "Jimmy has been living in pain..."
