Chapter 714

Johanna merely grunted.

Seeing how unenthused she was about entertaining him, Timothy fell silent briefly before he fished out

a gift box from his pocket. “I had been too busy to come when Asel celebrated her full moon, so this is

my gift for her.”

“I've already seen for myself exactly how “busy” you were, Mr. Jensen.” Your schedule must be awfully

tight if you have had to make time for lunch dates with women alongside everything else you have to

do in the office.

While Timothy watched her lower her head to open up the gift box, he placed a hand on the back of the

chair's backrest. “Is it just me, or do you sound a wee bit jealous?”

“When will you ever stop being so narcissistic, Timothy Jensen?” Raising her head, Johanna looked

the man right in the eye. “Even if you are a slab of gold, you're way too heavy for anyone to enjoy

holding on to indefinitely.”

Whatever hopefulness Timothy might have harbored was dashed to pieces by her words.

Never one to mince her words. That's my Johanna.

From the gift box, Johanna took out an exquisite silver bracelet. “I'd put it on Asel when I get back in

the afternoon.”

When Timothy noticed her shifting the focus onto their daughter, he took out his own phone. “Have you

taken any photos or videos of Asel these past few days? Send me a copy, will you?”

“Sure.” Selecting all of the media from her own photo album, Johanna then sent them all to the man.

Timothy went through them one by one to appraise the little girl's rosy visage. The inside of those

black-colored eyes of hers was bright and dazzling like stars.

The sight of her simply made his heart melt. Resisting the urge to kiss the photo, he went on to

designate it as his phone's screensaver.

“Have you gotten used to the new place?” Timothy asked Johanna.

"Yeah.”

“Has Asel been good?”

“I guess so. The nanny is the one who takes care of her most of the time.” According to the nanny who

was taking care of Asel, the kid did not fuss, slept after meals, and was also consistently in a good

mood. That, in her own experience, placed Asel among one of the easiest children to take care of.

Fiddling with his own phone, Timothy said, “I'd come by to see Asel the day after.”

“Well, sure. Just send me a WhatsApp message ahead of time.”

Casting a glance at the woman, Timothy wondered if she had changed, or if it was only him that she

treated that way.

Aside from the child they conceived together, it was as though they were previously unacquainted.

Recalling what he overheard Johanna tell Genevieve outside of the ward that night had him clenching

his jaw. Moments later, he said, “Let me know if there is anything else that you need.”

That yielded another grunt from Johanna who went on to pick up the cup of hot chocolate which had

mostly cooled off by then and took a sip from it.

Declining to pester her further, Timothy got up and left.

On his way out from the rooftop garden, he bumped into Genevieve and Charlotte who were coming

back in the other way. “Let's go. I'll send you to the mall.”

With that, he went ahead and made his own way out.

Charlotte rolled her eyes in the direction the man exited, then blandly told Genevieve, “See how

detestable that dog Timothy is? When Johanna is no longer looking, he couldn't be bothered to keep up

the charade anymore. Didn't even have the decency to fetch my coat for me.”

After she was done griping, Charlotte returned to the rooftop garden to grab her coat and bag.

But before she left, she recalled something and ran back inside to tell Genevieve about it. “Hey,

Genevieve. Remember to send me the address of that tailor!”

“No problem.” Genevieve flashed her an “okay” sign.

Failing to hold her cup firmly, Johanna spilled some of the hot chocolate onto her beige woolen

sweater. Very quickly, she grabbed a paper towel to try and soak up the spillage from it.

Coincidentally, Genevieve caught sight of that.

She guessed that Johanna's emotional state must have been affected by her own false assumption in

thinking that Charlotte wanted to have suits made for Timothy. Meaning to clarify it with Johanna at first,

she thought the better of it and eventually decided to keep mum.

These two obviously still care for each other, and yet, they chose to part ways and also purposefully do

things to make each other uncomfortable.

She thought that they needed to sort out their own feelings on their own, and an outsider like herself

ought to stay out of it.

After lunch, Genevieve took Johanna to the mall to chill out. Either owing to fate or ill fortune, it so

happened that Charlotte and Timothy turned out to be at the exact same place at precisely the same

time.
