Stepping Stone

When Juliet brought JJ back to the mountain villa, she saw Justin and Jacob in the living room as the sun turned to heavy rain.

"Yo! Juliet Estelle, we meet again!" Jacob actively greeted her.

Justin just raised his eyelids and pretended that nothing had happened. The servant immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare food when he got up.

Juliet was a little embarrassed to see that they were actually waiting for them to come back to have dinner. However, she nodded and said in a rare polite manner, "You eat first. I'll take a bath."

After that, she felt a little weird again, but she didn't explain and went straight upstairs.

Justin didn't say much, just retracted his gaze and walked towards the restaurant.

JJ seemed to be in a good mood and walked to the restaurant obediently.

Jacob, who was completely ignored, repeatedly brushed his sense of existence. "Stinky boy, now you don't even greet me when you see me? So because you have Juliet, you don't need me anymore?"

"Yeah," JJ responds bluntly without disguising.

Jacob's face turned dark, "Hey, how can you be so arrogant?"

....

When Juliet took a shower and went downstairs, three men in the restaurant were dining.

Justin and Jacob sat on one side of the dining table, and JJ sat on the other side, leaving a place beside him for Juliet.

Juliet took a seat, and the servant brought her cutlery and water glasses.

"Thank you." The restaurant-level treatment made her instinctively thank him, and her manner was slightly restrained.

The appearance of Juliet filled the air with an elegant floral scent, which was the smell of shower gel and shampoo on her body.

The hair has not yet been completely dried, and the water drips from the ends of the hair are slowly falling down to her white neck. Her outstanding appearance makes her especially pleasing to the eye at this moment.

Even Jacob, who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, couldn't help but look at her more.

"Tsk... tsk." Jacob stopped and smashed his mouth twice, with deep emotion in his tone. "With the presence of women in this house, the atmosphere feels different. But, hey, even the atmosphere during dinner has changed."

Because of his words, Juliet slows down the movement of eating.

Jacob glanced at her, continued to smile at her humbly. "Miss Juliet, I heard that you have changed boyfriends every month in the past few years. However, only the current one has been dating for a year, so are you ready to live with it?"

Jacob's voice fell, and JJ immediately looked at her nervously.

Even Justin, who had never reacted, raised his eyelids and looked at her opposite, only to realize that her eyes were a little red and swollen as if they had been crying for a long time.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Juliet was laughed at by Jacob's words.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is indeed a watery image, but it doesn't matter. First, she has a clear conscience.

Juliet looked down, rather indifferent. "We have broken up."

"Huh?" Jacob was shocked and muttered, "Seriously? I'm very enthusiastic about this news. How can you just break up when you want to break up?"

"...." Juliet did not answer, just put down her cutlery. " I am full. Enjoy your meal."

When she finished, she moved away as if reluctant to talk.

"Hey! Juliet, you..." Jacob still wanted to gossip, but she didn't give him a chance.

Justin's gaze stretched away following Juliet's departure, and there was a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.

Jacob speculated in darkness. "Brother, maybe he wants to make you the next stepping stone? That's why..."

Thinking of this, Jacob swallowed, without saying the whole thing.

Justin disagreed and continued to eat without rushing, and the atmosphere surrounding him turned milder.

On the opposite side, JJ complained with dissatisfaction, "Uncle! You chase Juju away! I don't like you anymore! Hmph!"

"Hey? You little monster! I'm helping you figure out the details!" Seeing JJ's appearance of having enemies with him, Jacob was not angry. "What is so good about Juliet? The stepmothers I introduced to you were not worse than her and..."

JJ cut him off excitedly, "I just like Juju! I like her at first sight!"

"You are still young, don't judge people by their appearance," Jacob said, preparing to give JJ a good lesson.

JJ didn't even think he would give Jacob a chance, put down the tableware and get down from the chair.

"Because Juju won't eat, I won't eat anymore. I'm going to find her." JJ muttered, without even looking at Jacob. He left the restaurant and walked directly to the stairs.

"Hey..." Jacob was unwilling to be treated differently. He turned to face Justin. "Brother, your son is about to be abducted, don't you care?"

"Justin's face was calm and calm. No matter how they made trouble, he just continued to eat calmly.

In the deep eyes, the smile was hidden deeply.

....

The next day, Juliet started her errands. First, she went back to her rented house to prepare some information and then rushed between various clothing companies to promote her design.

The result was nothing and repeated rejections.

Juliet felt frustrated but did not give up.

When she was about to go to the next company before she got off work, her mobile phone rang again with an unfamiliar number.

With the lessons learned, she answered the phone directly this time, "Hello?"

"Juju!" JJ called her intimately on the other end of the phone, with an element of expectation in his tone. "I'm at school. Can you come to pick me up?"

"..." Juliet glanced at the time, and said frankly to him after hesitating, "I'm afraid it won't work, Little Baby. My work task today has not been completed. You should go home with your uncles first, okay? After I go home, I will cook you some good food at night, okay?" She patiently negotiated with JJ.

The little milk bag on the other end was excited by Juliet's word 'Little Baby.' He smiled sweetly and agreed happily, "Okay, Juju. I will go home obediently and wait for you, goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, JJ looked satisfied, feeling the whole world was dreaming bubbles.

It just so happened that his classmate DD and his mother passed him by at this moment. Seeing that JJ was alone again, he went forward and continued to laugh at JJ. "JJ, you're lying, right? You don't have a mom to pick you up."

"No! Juju came to pick me up yesterday!" After that, JJ's good mood was destroyed. "I just called Juju. Well, she said she will cook me some food for the evening."

DD was unwilling to lose out seeing his righteous remarks. "Really? Then do you use the family number with her? My dad, I, and mommy use the family number to contact each other. Do you have it? Humph, you definitely can't recite her mobile phone number," DD said, making a face at him.

"DD, it's impolite." DD's mother said, smiling apologetically to JJ and then leaving with DD.

JJ stood there, watching the mother and son leaving hand in hand. But then, his mood changed from sunny to heavy rain.
