Jasper was also reluctant to leave this studio. This was where they started, but he had already thought of how to deal with it. "Renovate it. We'll treat this studio as the first shop and buy the few shops next door. Let's make a big one."
There was a sofa, a bar, and a storage room in the studio. They were all just what the shop needed. They just needed to adjust the layout slightly. In addition, the decoration of the studio was in a luxurious style, like in a palace.
Most importantly, when the customers looked up, they would see Only RB.
"I'll listen to you. I'll go back and talk to Dad."
"Yeah."
One hour passed just like this. After an hour, Jasper stood up and helped turn off the lights and close the door of the studio. He held Ruby's hand and got into the car.
"I'll do it myself." Ruby pressed down on Jasper's hand. He was bent over to help her buckle her seatbelt. She wanted to weather the storm together and not just accept his kindness.
Although he said that, Jasper still helped to fasten her seatbelt. Then, he quickly leaned forward and kissed the corner of her lips. "You can reward me."
Ruby, who was caught off guard by the kiss, instantly blushed. The blush spread to her ears. She reached out to cover one side of her face in an attempt to calm down. The corner of her mouth was still warm from his kiss. Her heart was still beating happily.
After getting into the driver's seat and starting the car, Jasper turned the steering wheel with one hand and held Ruby's hand tightly with the other. Ruby was still blushing. From the corner of his eye, he saw that she was shy. He smiled and tightened his grip.
They were halfway through the drive.
Ruby tilted her body and stared at Jasper's handsome face. She said awkwardly, "Jasper, if..."
She said a few words, but she seemed to feel that the words in her mind were not suitable. She wanted to think carefully again, but at the traffic light, Jasper caught her hesitating to speak. He activated his mind-reading ability. "It doesn't matter when your father completely relents. I've told you. I will only marry you in my lifetime."
It was already very good now. At least her father did not ask them to break up. Jasper was only temporarily demoted for further review by her father. Jasper believed that one day he would make her father agree to let her marry him.
A warm feeling flowed through her heart. She was so touched that she felt apologetic. "Thank you. I will only be your wife in this lifetime."
The two of them made a promise to each other and looked at each other with a smile. If not for the green light, Jasper wanted to hold the back of her head and kiss her. In the end, he touched her soft little hand and kissed the back of her hand.
His lips were also very soft. The sensation of his warm lips touching the back of her hand was magnified. The blush that had dissipated from her apology instantly spread again.
An hour later.
When the car arrived at the villa of the Blackwell family, it was time for Hackett to go home for dinner.
When he wasn't having dinner with Trevon, Frank, and Chris, he always went home to have dinner with his wife and children. When he saw Ruby and Jasper coming out of the car holding hands, Hackett stared at their intertwined hands.
Ruby thought that her father did not like it, so she pulled it back. Jasper's hand was empty, and his heart was also empty. However, he quickly adjusted his emotions and called out politely, "Uncle Hackett."
Hackett put on a stance, stuck one hand in his pocket, and replied faintly, "Hello."
He could see what happened between them clearly and his daughter's nervousness. "Holding hands is a normal couple's act," he said to them. "I'm not from ancient times."
Hearing this, both of them looked at Hackett. Hackett was expressing his attitude in this way. Jasper said, "Okay."
Hackett sighed in his heart. Jasper was good in all aspects, but he was too cold. Hackett did not know if his daughter would be bored in the future. Jasper would not say a word a day. How could they chat? At this moment, Hackett felt like he was separating a couple in love. "Alright, do you want to go in for dinner?"
After thinking for a while, Jasper still refused. He did not take any gifts with him. "I'll come in a few days."
Hackett was so angry that he laughed. Jasper still needed to choose a date? Hackett changed the topic. "Go back and tell your father that we'll have some late-night snacks together tonight. Tell him to bring something good over."
Jasper said, "Yes." With that, he got into the car.
When Jasper's car could no longer be seen, Ruby held her father's hand and turned to walk back to the villa. Hackett could see that his daughter's face was no longer cautious. She looked relaxed now.
After walking a few steps, Ruby gently asked Hackett, "Dad, Jasper asked me to go to the company to work. Is that okay?"
Hackett's emotions instantly became complicated when he met his daughter's gaze. For some reason, he recalled Edward's words. Edward asked him to let Ruby go sometimes and relax. He reflected on himself and said, "Ruby, did I watch you too closely?"
Therefore, she did not dare to communicate with him or tell him the truth.
Ruby shook her head and turned around with a smile. "Dad, I'll tell you everything in the future."
The tip of Hackett's tongue pressed against his molars. His eyes were a little hot. He raised his hand and wrapped it around his daughter's shoulder, touching the back of her head lovingly.
After a while, Hackett said, "I respect you. If you want to go, go. You can discuss it with the brat yourself. What about the studio?"
Ruby did not expect her father to be so easy to talk to. She felt relieved and said truthfully, "The studio has been bought by Jasper. We plan to slightly modify the studio and make it the first shop."
Hearing this Hackett was even more satisfied with Jasper. The brat was quite thoughtful. He no longer doubted the brat's sincerity towards his daughter. "That's a good idea."
The father and daughter chatted and laughed as they walked into the villa. When the door opened, Joy walked over quickly and said anxiously, "Son, Sherri seems to be quite seriously ill. I just went to take a look. She covered herself up tightly and said that she was so tired that she didn't want to get up for dinner. She's already slept for a day. Why is she still sleepy? Take her to see if she's pregnant again. You're too insensible. You're already so old and don't pay attention at all."
After saying that, Joy felt that her daughter-in-law might be pregnant. She was so angry that she hit her son's arm a few times and even glared at him.
