"Dante, come here." Jasper Milton called out. Dante Milton stopped and smiled uncomfortably, but his hands were twisted together from nervousness. "Dad, what's wrong?" "Ralph's mother is living here today. You can sleep with me tonight." Jasper said softly. "Oh, then I'll go eat some meatballs first." After Dante finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen without waiting for Jasper to speak. Jasper sighed helplessly. In the kitchen. Natalie Wheeler scooped up some meatballs for Dante and put in a couple more on the skillet. Dante looked at the meatballs with sparkling eyes and licked his lips. "Natalie, can I eat now?" "You can, but be careful not to burn yourself. Do you want some ketchup with it?" Natalie asked softly. "Yes, please." Natalie gave some ketchup to Dante, which he then dipped the meatball into it and took a big bite happily. His cheeks were bulging. "It's delicious. It's so good. This is the best meatball I've ev
In the car. The light from the street lamps filtered through the window and lit up one side of Jasper's face, hiding the other half of his face in the darkness. Dante Milton leaned against Natalie Wheeler and said, "Auntie Natalie, didn't you say that you would tell me a story?" "Once upon a time, there was a little lion. When he was born, his father was killed by a hunter, and his mother was also taken away by the hunter. He and his sister were adopted by an elephant mother. When he was young, he was often bullied by tigers, hungry wolves, and wild dogs. Every time after being bullied, he told himself that he had to become stronger so that he would not be bullied. He ran faster than any animal, and his claws grew sharper than other animals. He also trained to avoid the trap of hunters. Finally, one day, he became the King of the Forest. He married a beautiful wife, gave birth to two children, and had his own family. From then on, they were happy tog
Jasper Milton returned home to find that Bettany Hadley had been waiting for him. He put Dante Milton on the bed and covered him the quilt. Bettany followed him. "Jasper, I have something to tell you." "Okay," Jasper responded and turned to leave. He closed the door and asked Bettany, "Has Ralph fallen asleep?" "I waited for you in the living room after he had fallen asleep. I know that Ralph has quite a temper. He is stubborn, rebellious, and naughty, and is not as obedient as Dante. Today, he treated Miss Wheeler rudely, so I am afraid that she would be prejudiced against him." Bettany said softly. "What do you think we should do then?" Jasper asked, looking at Bettany with his eyes closed. "Well, the reason why Ralph rejected Miss Wheeler so much is that he was afraid that she would replace me, so he put up a lot of resistance. If the tutor was selected by Ralph, I think he would not act this way." Bettany suggested. "Okay, let Ralph choose
Frederick Addington suddenly felt that someone was looking at him. He raised his head and saw a slightly chubby figure running outside. He was not interested in anyone who wasn't slim. Natalie Wheeler got on the taxi, told the driver Jasper's home address, and called Eli Wayne. " Eli, you're not going to sleep soon, are you?" "No, the baby is still playing with his gun. I'm so dizzy. I suddenly thought of a joke: little girls play with dolls and little boys play with guns, but when they grow up, it's the opposite! Hahahaha!" Eli laughed at her own joke. Natalie heard the deep meaning of this joke, but she was not in the mood to engage in small talk. "Eli, could you help me pinpoint the location of a mobile phone now?" "I think so. I'll need to ask Sean. Send me the phone number," she replied frankly. "Thank you, Eli." Natalie was touched. "Stop that. Aren't we friends?" Eli hung up the phone. Natalie sent the phone number to her. Th
Natalie Wheeler couldn't sleep for the whole night, only managing to fall asleep at 4 a.m. and wake up at 7:15 a.m. When she woke up, she remembered Jasper's words, "Since you care about Dante so much, come see him in person. Didn't you always want to find Dante? He is our child. Come back, come back alive to see him. Stella, Stella, I miss you so much." She closed her eyes and felt her heart aching terribly. It was like a flood that was about to break out of the dam. Since she couldn't fall asleep, she simply got up, changed into her sportswear, and went to the park behind the hotel to run. After running for two laps, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest. She squatted down, her hands covering her heart to relieve the pain. She felt like an awl had pierced into her heart. "Miss, are you alright?" A familiar voice sounded. Natalie looked at the man with a pale face. It was Frederick Addington. In the back of her mind, she didn't want to h
Natalie Wheeler caught the surprise in Jasper's eyes. His gaze shifted from Natalie to Eli Wayne. It shocked him even more and he frowned slightly. Natalie lowered her eyes guiltily. Eli smirked and quickly covered her mouth. She lowered her voice and said to Natalie, "It must have been fate for you and Jasper to meet here." "This place has been very popular over the past year. Many rich and powerful people come and spend their time here. Since it's the weekend, it's very likely to bump into him," Natalie's lips did not move, and she said it through her teeth. "So are you going to greet him?" Eli was worried. "They are all his friends. I might come off as opportunistic if I were to greet him now. It's better not to go there. Let's get something to eat and sit as far as possible away from them." Natalie said. Seeing Jasper was still looking at her, she grabbed Eli and walked away, and sat in the far right corner. "I'm sure he's very curious righ
Natalie's heart skipped a beat when she heard Jasper's voice. She was so engrossed in talking that she didn't notice him coming over. She glanced at Jasper Milton and nodded respectfully. "The children in the orphanage might have such psychological problems, but I wasn't proficient in it. Hence, I took up this course when I was in college. " "Ha ha ha, Jasper, don't you think that she's just like Stella?" Eli Wayne laughed first to burst the bubble. Jasper looked at Eli. "She does sound like Stella. Her voice is similar, and her experience is similar. Stella was also in the orphanage when she was a child. She also learned psychology. They have similar personalities too. However, you have already ruined one of my closest friends. Don't you dare ruin another," Eli's eyes darkened as she warned him coldly. "Eli." Natalie shouted and stood up. She smiled apologetically at Jasper and said to Eli, "I am now Mr. Milton's children's tutor." "Quit your job, I
She tried hard to control her emotions. However, when she saw his tears rolling down his cheeks, she could feel herself losing her calm. "Who says we won't see each other anymore? You see, we didn't make an appointment today, but we still met, which shows that we are fated. Since we are fated, God will definitely let us meet again, right?" Natalie Wheeler persuaded. Dante Milton sniffled, his tears still flowing. He seemed to have lost control of his emotions. He cried out. "I don't like Dad. He took me away. My parents were very sad. Now he wants to drive Auntie Natalie away. He wants to drive all the people whom I like away. I hate him." "If you don't like your father, why don't you live with Auntie Natalie in the future? Auntie Natalie stays in the Oasis Hotel. The hotel has an amusement park." Eli Wayne said directly. "Eli." Natalie stopped her. "Don't talk nonsense. He is Jasper's child." "Jasper has gone too far," Eli grumbled. "This child must've su
