Chapter 174 Shameful Way of Taking Medicine
Alta exchanged glances with Jason, maintaining a calm expression on her face. She answered, “The
children are not at home during the day. They go to school and only come back in the evening.”
Jason nodded noncommittally, choosing not to say anything further.
At this moment, Edward and Cindy also understood what was going
1.
Jason knew that Alta had children. But apparently, he didn’t know that the children were his…
Upon realizing this, noncommittally inexplicably became angry.
Back then, their granddaughter had suffered quite a lot when she was with him.
Cindy took a bottle of wine from the side and poured a full glass for Jason. She said, “Jason, my health
hasn’t fully recovered, so I can’t drink. Edward and Donovan are both old and can’t drink either. Alta is
a girl and doesn’t drink… Today, I’m discharged from the hospital and moved here. I’m so happy in my
heart. Can you drink a bit more on our behalf?”
Jason took the wine glass and downed it in one gulp, not refusing.
Whoever knew, Cindy kept pouring him more wine one after another throughout the meal.
Jason gradually sensed that Cindy was targeting him.
He was somewhat confused but didn’t expose it.

During this time, Donovan finally accepted reality.
He sighed inwardly and didn’t mention anything about the children. Instead, he asked Alta, “These
years, being alone outside must have been difficult, right?”
Back then, when she went abroad, she was still so young and already had two children at home.
Later, she had two more children, all without being married…
Donovan immediately thought that Alta had encountered a situation where she had met a ‘bad man’
again!
Thinking about Alta being bullied by other men in a foreign land, Donovan felt heartbroken.
Alta had gone through so much in these years!
He quickly comforted her, saying. “The past is in the past. Let’s look ahead! If we encounter someone
bad, we’ll stay away from them! There are plenty of good men in this world. In the future, I will introduce
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou to outstanding young talents!”
Alta didn’t know what Donovan was imagining. She smiled and cooperated, replying, “Alright, then I’ll
trouble you.”
Jason narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat displeased.
This old man, saying such nonsense out of nowhere?
Was he drunk even though he didn’t drink at all?
He furrowed his brows and forcefully scooped vegetables for Donovan.
In a moment, he filled a whole bowl, overflowing with vegetables.

Donovan saw this. He couldn’t help but turn his head and stared at him. He asked, “What are you
doing?”
Alta barely cooked the meat he liked. However, this brat served him a bowl full of vegetables!
Jason added another spoon full of vegetables. He calmly replied, “You talk too much. Hurry up and eat
more to keep your mouth shut!”
He concealed his emotions well, but Donovan could see through it.
This brat was just like an overflowing vinegar jar, so sour!
The more he forbade him from speaking, the more he wanted to speak!
Donovan turned his head and enthusiastically asked Alta, “Alta, what kind of man do you like? Gentle
ones, how do you feel about them? Those who know how to take care of others! Let me tell you, when
finding a man, don’t go for the cold and stubborn ones. They’re not good and don’t know how to treat
their wives. Being with such a person, you’ll get annoyed sooner or later…”.
Jason was speechless.
With this last sentence, it was evident that Donovan was indirectly referring to himself.
Alta also noticed something. She couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth. She suppressed her
laughter as she replied, “Donovan is right, gentle ones are good in my opinion.”
Edward and Cindy sitting at the same table saw this and enthusiastically joined the discussion.
“Finding someone who is a few years older than you is also possible. That kind of person is more
stable, reliable, and warm-hearted.”

“Being too much older is not good either. They don’t know romance! Younger ones are more
understanding of romance, but they may be fickle… Of course, if they are obedient and well-behaved,
it’s not a problem. With my granddaughter being so outstanding, she will be able to control them!”
Upon hearing Cindy’s words, Donovan seemed to have thought of something and excitedly slammed
the table.
“I have an old friend’s grandson. He just graduated from a prestigious university this year. Recently, he
joined their family company to learn management. I’ve seen that child before, he’s handsome. Even
though he’s not that old, he handles things calmly. He is organized and filial. His name sounds good
too, called Cody.”
Donovan kept on talking incessantly.
Jason, sitting next to him, frowned deeply as he listened.
He reminded Donovan with some annoyance, “Cody already has a fiancée!”
Donovan glanced at him and said, “So what if he has a fiancée? Even married people can get divorced.
Engagement can be broken too! I think he and Alta are a perfect match!”
Saying that, he looked at Alta again and said, “Alta, let me find some time to arrange a meeting with
him. You can meet him, and if you like him, I will talk to him about marriage!”
Jason’s face turned as dark as ink.
He pressed his cheek. He couldn’t help but retort against Donovan, “Are the Hills no longer supporting
you? Are you not enjoying your retirement and now turning to be a matchmaker?”
Donovan, unperturbed by his sarcasm, replied directly, “What I do is

none of your business. I’m introducing a potential partner to Alta. What does it have to do with you?
You, a thing of the past, a loser, are not qualified to butt in!”
Jason’s face grew even darker…
Alta watched the two of them bickering. She couldn’t help but feel amused.
It was the first time she had seen Jason being so defeated!
However, she held back her laughter, afraid that Jason would turn his face directly. She mediated,
“Donovan, please stop teasing. I’m too busy with work right now. I don’t have the energy to go on blind
dates.”
Donovan was completely unconcerned. He said, “That’s alright. We can take our time. I’ll send you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsome photos later, and your grandparents can also have a look. If there’s someone you’re interested in,
we can go meet him when you’re not busy! We have to plan for the future, right?”
Seeing that Donovan was determined, Alta couldn’t resist and urged him to eat more quickly.
Finally, she managed to suppress his idea.
Later, Jason was already a little tipsy after dinner.
He leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
Donovan showed no intention of leaving. He pulled Edward to play chess together.
Taking advantage of their inattention, Cindy approached with at worried expression. She asked Alta,
“Alta, Otto and Nina haven’t eaten anything yet. What if they get hungry later?”

Alta glanced at the living room, seeing that no one noticed them. She whispered, “Don’t worry, Daisy
has already taken the food up.”
Upon hearing this, Cindy finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good, that’s good.”
Alta nodded and helped the grandmother to sit down nearby. She said, “Let me brew you a cup of
health tea. Drinking it after a meal helps with digestion and is good for your health.”
“Okay.”
The grandmother agreed gladly.
While pouring water, Alta also poured a cup for Jason and brought him a sobering medicine.
Unaware of it all, Jason still had his eyes closed.
Alta gently touched him and said, “Wake up.”
Jason opened his deep eyes and stared at her. xo.com fast update
“Eat one. It will wake you up in half an hour.”
Alta opened her palm and handed him the medicine.
Jason looked at it for a few seconds. Then, he suddenly leaned over. With the tip of his tongue, he took
the pill from her palm.
His warm lips unexpectedly kissed the palm of Alta’s hand. His soft tongue flicked against it like a
feather…
Alta’s eyes widened like she had been electrocuted.
At the same time, a rush of heat surged to her ears, staining her delicate ears crimson.
She felt both embarrassed and shy.
This man… took the medicine in such a shameless way
