Chapter 418 Bath Together
After visiting the school, Aletta took Jason and the children to many different places.
One of them was the restaurant where she used to work.
As she looked at the scene, memories flashed rapidly in her mind.
Unable to contain herself, Aletta began to reminisce, "When I worked at the restaurant, the boss was very kind to me. Although it was busy and tiring, I gained a lot of friendliness and happiness here. And every month end, the boss would give me a bonus."
Later, she took Jason to the place where she used to live.
The surrounding environment there was poor, with all sorts of unsavoury characters coming and going. It was undoubtedly dangerous.
However, Aletta spoke with a smile, "The owner was a kind person. She would bake some small cakes and pastries every day and give me a portion. After the children were born, she would often buy them toys. She particularly liked Lucas and Lyla, and sometimes when I was busy, she would help to take care of them. But later, she moved abroad and started living with her daughter! It's been a long time since I last saw her.”
Hearing this, Lucas and Lyla couldn't help but say, "We really miss her!"
Aletta patted their heads and said, "We'll have a chance to visit her in the future."

Lucas and Lyla nodded obediently, feeling a sense of anticipation, and began sharing stories with Otto and Nina.
Jason looked up at the old, dilapidated house and felt a pang of
sorry.
Although Aletta spoke of beautiful memories, he knew that her experiences were surely more than just that.
She simply chose not to mention the unpleasant ones.
They didn't stay there for long. The family of six went to other places and finally arrived at Frenchtown.
Aletta, Lucas, and Lyla became visibly excited upon their arrival.
Lyla eagerly told Otto and Nina, "There's so much delicious food here!"
Lucas added, "And there is a lot of fun here!"
Otto and Nina, filled with curiosity, couldn't wait to go inside and explore.
Aletta and Jason walked side by side behind them.
Jason surveyed the street and found nothing particularly special about it except for the architectural style, which leaned towards traditional French aesthetics, exuding an antique charm.
Aletta noticed his perplexed expression and explained, "Lucas and Lyla were born abroad, so this kind of architecture is different for them. Everything inside is novel and exciting to them, which is why they like it so much. As for me... it reminds me of home. I love coming here to eat, and it's also quite affordable."
Upon hearing her words, Jason felt as if an arrow had pierced his

heart.
A sense of overwhelming heartache enveloped him.
Yet, more than anything, he blamed himself.
He looked around and couldn't help but think that if it weren't for their divorce, Aletta wouldn't have come to such a distant place and endured so much hardship and suffering.
Aletta noticed Jason's change in expression and realized that speaking about these things might not make him feel good.
Gradually, she stopped talking and focused on accompanying the children in their play.
Later in the evening, Aletta took them to several nearby famous attractions.
During that time, the children clung to their parents and many photos were taken.
After a full day of touring, they had expended a lot of energy, and by the time they returned home, the children were completely exhausted.
"We're so tired!" they exclaimed as they entered the house, immediately flopping down on the couch without any intention of moving.
"Me too, my legs aren't listening to me anymore!"
Lyla attempted to move her feet, but they quickly fell back down.
Aletta smiled at their antics. Having spent the whole day playing with them, she too felt weary.

Jason noticed this and got up to urge the children, "If you're tired, take a bath and rest."
Although they didn't want to move, upon seeing Aletta's tiredness, they obediently followed the instruction.
After seeing the children off to their room, Jason returned to the master bedroom only to find Aletta asleep on the couch inside
the
room.
He approached her, intending to carry her to the bed.
However, his action startled Aletta unintentionally.
She opened her eyes in confusion and upon seeing Jason, she instinctively reached out to hold his neck.
When Jason reached the bedside, Aletta murmured, "I haven't taken a bath yet..."
Jason lowered his gaze, smiling, "You can take it tomorrow, rest since you're tired."
Aletta shook her head, "No, I feel dirty."
She had been running around all day outside.
She patted Jason's shoulder, signalling him to put her down.
Jason, feeling helpless, had no choice but to let her down.
"Wait here, I'll fill the tub for you," he said before turning and entering the bathroom.
Aletta was truly exhausted and didn't want to move a single finger. When Jason came out after filling the water, she playfully reached out and coquettishly said, "Carry me inside."

hers
Jason raised an eyebrow, smiling as he asked, "Are you inviting me to join you for a bath?"
Upon hearing his words, Aletta blushed, quickly denying, "I didn't mean that at all. You're overthinking it! Never mind, don't carry me..."
As she spoke, she intended to walk in by herself.
However, in the next moment, Jason had already lifted her.
"Did I say I won't carry you? Why are you in such a hurry?" Jason responded with a chuckle.
Aletta fell silent and obediently let him carry her.
Once they entered the bathroom, Jason put her down. The bathtub was already filled with water, and he asked, "Do you need help with undressing?"
Aletta playfully glared at him and retorted, "That won't be necessary. I'm considering your well-being!"
She refused with an air of righteousness.
Jason chuckled, "So ungrateful!"
He pinched Aletta's cheek, not lingering for long, and then turned and left.
After he left, Aletta closed the door and quickly got into the bathtub.
After soaking for almost half an hour, she got up and planned to dry her hair.
However, as soon as she held the hairdryer, a sense of weakness

overcame her once again.
With a loud 'bang,' the hairdryer fell to the ground.
The noise in the bathroom had caught the attention of Jason, who approached and asked from outside, "Aletta, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing him coming, Aletta panicked and quickly replied, "Nothing!"
She hurried to pick up the hairdryer from the floor, but
unexpectedly, in the next moment, another "bang" sound followed, and the hairdryer fell to the ground once again.
Aletta's hand was trembling, and she realized that she couldn't pick it up.
The effect of the medicine had worn off...
Aletta began to panic.
No, she couldn't let Jason find out.
She wanted to struggle, but at that moment, Jason had already turned the doorknob and walked straight in.
As soon as he entered, he saw Aletta trembling, and his expression changed rapidly. Aletta's expression became even more panicked, resembling a child who had done something wrong.
