Chapter 428 Stop Doing Dumb Feel-Good Things

Mia was stunned, "Mr. Kooper is visiting? For what?”

Jensen shook his head, "He never tells me any of his plans."

"Then again, he's never treated me like I was his son. So why would he tell me about his big plans?" he continued in a self- deprecating tone. Mia pursed her lips. She promptly reached out to grip his cold hand and said lowly, "Don't say that. Mr. Kooper still cares about you a lot."

Jensen snorted and retracted his hand. He asked sarcastically, " Since when did you start defending him? Did you forget how he treated you back then?”

Mia thought of their past and smiled bitterly, "You can't put the entire blame on Mr. Kooper. After all, I did it voluntarily. I can sacrifice myself as long as it helps you.”

Jensen tightened his grip on the steering wheel out of reflex. Then, he said coldly, "I'm Jensen Kooper. I haven't fallen to the extent where I need a woman to sacrifice herself in exchange for power and status. In the future, stop doing dumb feel-good things.”

The smile Mia tried to keep on her face eventually stiffened.

She pinched the cigarette that was almost burned out. Then, she said monotonously, "How heartless of you. Even though things didn't work out, my feelings for you were genuine. Was there a need for you to scorn at me?"

Jensen did not respond.

Mia gazed at his perfect side profile and smiled lightly. She continued watching him, but tears started welling up in her eyes.

She hurriedly turned away and looked out the window.

‘In the end, the heartless man still has a heart that’s as cold as ice. I don't think I'll ever be able to melt his heart of ice,’ thought Mia.

"Kids! I bought you all lots of clothes. Come and see if you like them."

After hearing Kisa’s words, the children quickly came over to look at their clothes.

Andrew took out an ochre-colored leather jacket from a paper bag. He unfurled the jacket and was momentarily stunned,

"Ma’am, you bought this too?”

Kisa glanced at Gilbert, who was standing aside. She smiled, "Your daddy bought it. How is it? Do you like it?”

Andrew frowned and said disdainfully, "Daddy has bad taste. I was wondering why Ma'am would buy such a color. It doesn’t look good at all. It's unfashionable!"

Then, he set the leather jacket aside.

Gilbert was speechless, "When did you ever like the clothes I bought you in the past? You're so young, yet you're so picky. Who did you inherit such a trait from?"

Kisa looked at them from head to toe.

‘He inherited such trait from you, of course. Who else is as picky as you?’ she thought.

Blake stared at the leather jacket for a long time. Then, he suddenly went over and hugged the jacket to his chest.

"Uncle Gilbert, I really like this jacket. Could I please have it?" he said to Gilbert.

Gilbert perked up, "You like it?"

Blake nodded furiously, "I like it. I think it looks really nice.”

The child put on the leather jacket as he spoke.

Blake had fair, clear skin and deep-set facial features. When all this was coupled with his short, neat bob, the ochre-colored leather jacket did not look unfashionable on him at all. On the contrary, it was inexplicably fashionable.

Kisa could not help but lament to herself, ‘This goes to show that all apparels need to be tried on to see if they look good when worn.’

When Gilbert saw how good the leather jacket looked on Blake, he immediately felt cocky, "Are you still going to call the jacket ugly?"

"It's ugly. It's awfully ugly. But Blake’s handsome; that's why the jacket looks good on him.”
