They were in a secret relationship, but the flame of love was wildly growing.
Soon, it was Jasper and Ruby's birthday. This day was very meaningful to Jasper. He knew that Ruby liked to play number games. Whether it was their time together or the payment of suits they made, it was a meaningful number.
Naturally, the opening of the new company also needed to be meaningful. The birthday was also the opening day of Jasper's clothing company.
Jasper's clothing company was named OnLy. He announced to the public that the name was borrowed from the designer's name, the winner of a men's clothing design competition last year. But no one had seen this designer before.
The clothing company was huge. There was only one office building covering a wide range of areas. The live-stream platform and clothing processing factory were also established in the same building to make it easier to manage.
On the day of the new company's opening, the Roberts family, the Landor family, the Blackwell family, the Yamin family, and the Turner family were all present. The news hit the headlines and everyone in Athana knew that Jasper had bought a building and spent a huge sum of money to build a new brand, OnLy.
After the opening ceremony in the morning, the Turner family people returned to Sapphire City. It could be said that they came and went in a hurry.
At 11:00 at night, a group of passengers carried their bags to Athana Airport and made their way to the aircraft.
Sherri pushed Hackett upstairs and urged, "Hackett, hurry up. It's getting late. Time is running out. It will have been midnight when we get there. Let's go."
Half an hour ago, they were still at Grand Manor. Today was Jasper and Ruby's birthday. Trevon held a birthday party for the two of them. After cutting the cake and leaving the kids in the hotel, they came to the airport.
Rose held Edward's hand and urged, "Dawdler, what are you doing? Are you going or not? Hurry up. Move your legs.
"We were left behind in last year's trip. It's rare for Harper to get a high score this year. That's why we have the chance to travel with Trevon. Hurry up."
Edward laughed and guessed Hackett's thoughts. He said, "If you're worried about Ruby, it's not too late for you to get off the plane now."
Hackett was indeed concerned with his daughter. Every year after her birthday, he would be more worried. Although Ruby would get married one day, he was still reluctant to part with her.
Suddenly, Trevon said, "Get out. That saves my money."
Then, he held Natalie's hand and walked past Hackett. He suddenly stopped and said unhurriedly, "My son has been in a relationship for a long time. He might get married next year. Don't forget to come to the wedding."
Natalie glanced sideways at the man beside him who was telling the truth in all honesty. When she saw him raise his eyebrows and smile, she even gloated a little. She felt a sense of victory. If Hackett knew that Jasper and Ruby had already been together for so long, he might have died of anger right now.
Rose, who had already entered the cabin, sensed that there was a gossip. She immediately turned around and asked, "What? Jasper is in a relationship? When did this happen? Why didn't we know about it at all?"
Trevon held Natalie's hand and walked forward. He said, "My son keeps a low profile and doesn't like to be watched."
When Sherri heard that Jasper had a girlfriend, she felt even worse than if she lost her job. "Natalie, what's wrong with you? When did Jasper have a girlfriend? Why don't you tell me?"
No wonder Jasper didn't respond when she encouraged him to be with Ruby last year. It turned out that he had someone in his heart. So it seemed she had lost an excellent future son-in-law.
Sherri had a look of doubt and shock on her face. Originally holding Hackett's hand, she let go of it and walked into the cabin in a huff. Hackett was skeptical of Trevon's words. When he saw that Sherri was angry, he immediately chased after.
The plane took off.
On the plane, Sherri still could not accept the fact that Jasper had a girlfriend and had been dating for so long. From Trevon's tone, he was very satisfied with his future daughter-in-law. She leaned against the sofa listlessly and sighed.
Rose smiled when she saw Sherri's pale face. She knew what she was sighing about. Natalie automatically blocked Sherri's words and was too embarrassed to talk to her. Hackett did not let Natalie off. "Natalie, is Jasper really in a relationship?"
"Ah, yes." This was not a lie.
Hackett felt a little complicated. He had an indescribable feeling and somehow felt a little pity. "What does his girlfriend do?"
Edward's legs were wide open. He sat on the sofa and helped Rose crack walnuts. He smiled and raised his chin. He said to Trevon, "Tell us."
Rose leaned on Edward's shoulder and rubbed Edward's ears from time to time. Her gossipy genes made her echo, "Yes, tell us something. I'm also curious what kind of girl she is."
Edward indulged in Rose's behavior. No matter how restless her hands were, he did not stop her.
Trevon did not plan to go into detail. He was being sloppy and picky. He was very careful with his words. Trevon crossed his legs and looked like an old man with candy in his mouth. "I've never seen her before, but that doesn't matter as long as Jasper loves her. I'm rich enough. I don't need my son's marriage to serve for my family."
'Was that an answer?' All the other people felt unsatisfied.
'Why did he not answer the question correctly? Wasn't the point about what kind of girlfriend Jasper would find? Why did he answer that his family was rich and did not need a marriage alliance?'
Trevon was digressing.
Sherri had completely believed that Jasper had a girlfriend and that his son-in-law had already been stolen by someone else. "Natalie, you are an incompetent mother. Jasper has been dating for so long. But you don't even know where that girl is from. What if Jasper brings you a very domineering daughter-in-law? Let's see what you'll do then."
'How could she be as gentle as my Ruby? If Ruby was with Jasper, Natalie would not be wronged by her daughter-in-law.' Sherri thought in her heart and felt resentful.
Natalie smiled. How could Ruby be domineering? If someone had to be like that, that person must be Jasper. "If you're afraid that I can't cope with her, I still have your help, right? If one day I'm bullied by my future daughter-in-law, you'll come and help me with a gun on her head."
Rose laughed and shrugged her shoulders. "Alright, I promise I'll do it. But Sherri, you might be thinking too much. There is a madman to protect his wife, how could you get bullied? Am I right, Old Trevon?"
"I'm very far in age from Edward. Do you have poor eyesight?"
