Regression - Second Chance At Life

If his peers or rivals got a brand new car, he would buy a better one. If his peers got into a new hobby, Jack would try to gain as much knowledge about that particular hobby to boast about before his peers.

Julia doesn’t know this, but the only reason Jack married her was because one of his peers actually found himself a young wife as well.

Of course, Julia doesn’t need to know that. Jack knew Julia’s intention from the very start, but he didn’t care. It’s not like he would hand over all of his wealth to her, right?

So when Jack heard his peers talk proudly about their sons and daughters, Jack felt a sting in his chest because his son was a loser who was too shy to talk to a girl, was always locked inside his room playing games, and watching animated series.

It pissed Jack off.

But seeing that Adam is fixing his behavior, becoming better, Jack feels great. Now he no longer has to lie about his son. He can boast to his peers about how his son works a normal, low-level job to understand what hard work looks like, and how working such a job builds character and discipline.

”By the way, where is this restaurant you are working in?” Jack asks.

Adam looks at his father and wonders what this old man is thinking. ’Whatever it is, I hope he doesn’t pull something stupid,’ Adam thinks, and gives his father the address of the restaurant.

Done with his breakfast, Jack leaves for work, leaving Adam alone with Julia.

Now that they are alone and Xu Lin is busy working somewhere else, they stare into each other’s eyes.

Adam with his usual smugness, and Julia with her usual cold arrogance.

”Last night was eventful, wasn’t it?” Adam says, taking a bite of his breakfast.

”Hmph, I was drunk, that’s all,” Julia says.

”It still doesn’t change what you did. Who would have thought? My hot sexy step mother is so starved for sex that she would beg her step son to fuck her,” Adam says with the biggest smug smile on his face.

Julia closes her eyes and takes a deep breath to calm herself down. No matter how attracted she is to Adam physically, his attitude pisses her off. She just wants to walk up to him and claw at his face, but when her eyes fall on his lips, the kiss they had starts to replay in her head again, pissing her off even more.

”Last night, you got lucky. I was drunk enough to entertain you a little and give you a taste of what you want, but no more. I wouldn’t even let you touch me in my dreams,” Julia says.

”Whoa, stop right there. Don’t go promising something you cannot keep. I can see it in your eyes. The way you look at me, like a hungry cougar, waiting to seduce your young stepson to fulfill your slutty desires,” Adam continues to tease her.

”You think too highly of yourself. Do you think I really need you to fulfil my sexual desires? Just one word from me and a hundred men will line up to just spend five minutes with me,” Julia says, full of arrogance.

Adam smirks. He doesn’t doubt Julia. He is sure that many men from her past would leave whatever they are doing right now and rush to her if she said she needed them.

”Oh, are you just admitting to me that you are planning to cheat on my father?” Adam suddenly brings Jack into the mix.

Julia grits her teeth in anger. She slipped a little, and Adam took advantage. If not for them being alone, Julia would be in big trouble right now.

”Shut up, eat your breakfast, and get out of the house. Stop bothering me!” Julia says and gets off the dining table and leaves.

She did the smart thing, getting away from Adam, as he has too much ammo right now. She needs things to calm down a little so that the battlefield gets even again.

But Julia doesn’t know that Adam doesn’t plan to give her even a single advantage. This battle between them will continue to lean in his favor over the course, and once he has victory in his reach. He is going to take her all for himself.

Adam then finishes up his breakfast and takes the plate with him to the kitchen.

Inside, he finds Xu Lin cleaning the counter, looking like the perfect sexy housemaid whom Adam hired her to be.

”Xu Lin,” Adam calls her.

Xu Lin stops and turns around, hearing Adam’s voice.

”Master Adam.” Xu Lin acknowledges his presence with a light blush on her cheeks, seeing him standing before her handsomely.
