Chapter 185
You cooked
Lucas looked at Commor, the young man in front of him, in disbelief.
He remembered the chicken chowder that Commor made last time. At that time, Connor’s cooking skills were much worse, but Tu as almost thought that today’s dishes were made by Darrell,
How long had it been? Why did Connor make such great progress so quickly?
…
Lucas smile faded, and he began to find faults. The meatballs are too round. The uneven ones will look better, understand? And the fried fish… Although you have to fry it until it begins to crisp, it’s obvious that you did it too long…”
He gave a lot of “suggestions“, which were completely nitpicking. When he met Pearl’s cold gaze, he finally shut his mouth.
Pearl looked at Lucas coldly. Do you know what the principle has been for customers like you?”
Lucas was confused.
Pearl continued, “If you like the food, then stay and enjoy. If you don’t, get lost.”
Lucas was utterly speechless,
He wondered, “Is that how you treat your customers?”
Of course, Lucas didn’t want to get lost, so he could only cat in silence. Connor served another two dishes.
Pearl said calmly. These dishes are enough. Don’t cook more. You have been busy for a whole. Go back home early and have a good rest.”
Connor wanted to tell Pearl that he wasn’t tired, but seeing her determined attitude, he thought it was better not to refuse her. He replied obediently. “Okay.”
When he left, he said goodbye to Marc and Lucas politely. “Please enjoy, Mr. Males and Mr. Parker.”
Lucas had been respected by others for more than twenty years. However, when he was called “Mr. Parker” by Connor, for some reason, he felt himself much older than before. He was both angry and a little sad.
After Connor left, Lucas had nowhere to vent the anger he had been holding in for the entire night. He said angrily. “That kid did it on purpose, right? Was he showing off his youth?”
“Enough” Pearl also flared up. Her eyes were filled with coldness and impatience as if she was going to end the dinner in the next second
Marc rotated the glass table and stopped when the meatballs were right in front of Pearl. “He is going through menopause. Don’t bother with him. Eat more. You look too thin.”
Pearl frowned and did not say anything. In her opinion, Mare and Lucas were trying to spoil her appetite deliberately today. Lucas raised his eyebrow and stared at Mare with narrowed eyes for a while. He thought, “The bastard even knew how to degrade his love rivals and curry favor with Pearl. I was actually defeated by him. What a mistake”
A day later, it was Tina’s wedding.
At d
dawn, Pearl’s phone rang and woke her up.
Tina started to urge Pearl and Lindsay with phone calls early in the morning, afraid that they would not attend her wedding. In fact, Pearl indeed did not intend to go.
“Give me a reason to go.
Pearl was sleepy and did not even open her eyes. Her voice was impatient and cold as she said, “Don’t talk to me about family ties and don’t ask me to witness your happiness. Your happiness has nothing to do with me. I don’t care.”
On the other end of the line, Tina shouted anxiously, “Grandpa will be coming to my wedding too! Don’t you want to see
AM
Pearl opened her eyes wide when she heard ‘Grandpa” “Grandpa will attend your wedding? Who said that?”
Seeing that Pearl’s interest was aroused, Tina became arrogant and snorted. “I’m Grandpa’s biological granddaughter, and he will certainly attend my wedding. I’ve sent the wedding invitation to our hometown. Since Grandpa accepted it, he would naturally come to witness my happiness.”
Pearl was about to ask more questions when Tina said anxiously, “I’m busy. I’m not talking to you anymore. Hurry up and bring Lindsay over. If l’in happy, I might give the bouquet to you.”
Tina felt complacent and hung up after saying that.
Pearl sat up on the bed.
She had revealed her identity as Master Marlene for more than half a month, but her grandfather seemed to have done nothing. Would he really attend Tina’s wedding today?
After all, he had never liked that kind of occasion.
Pearl called Mason and asked him to investigate her grandfather’s whereabouts. Mason agreed and reported another thing to
her.
After hearing that, Pearl narrowed her eyes and could not help but laugh.
“Looks like I have to attend Tina’s wedding. I can’t miss the upcoming show.”
Although she had to go to the wedding, Pearl was not in a hurry. She knew that she might not be able to eat well at the wedding banquet, so she decided to eat her fill at home. She and Lindsay enjoyed their breakfast leisurely.
During it, Pearl received a call from Ralph..
On the other end of the line, Ralph was clearly suppressing his anger. “Where are you guys?”
Pearl replied calmly, “At home. We are having breakfast.”
“Breakfast?”
Ralph’s sharp voice sounded. “What time is it now? Others and I are so busy at the wedding venue. Why don’t you come and help entertain the guests? Why are you still in the mood to eat at home? Do you forget we are family? Come here before I get angry!”
“Go ahead. No one’s stopping you.”
Pearl bit the soft, milk–flavored bread and said calmly, “Uncle Ralph, your waist has not fully recovered. To avoid paralysis, you’d better not walk on your own and remember to stay in a wheelchair
Ralph was indeed sitting in a wheelchair.
It would take long to recover from his injuries. Anyway, he was not young anymore. After he was beaten up and his waist was broken, he had been lying in bed for more than a week. Originally, he did not plan to attend Tina’s wedding, but Tina refused and forced the nursing worker to carry him into the wheelchair.
Tina even threatened Ralph, “Dad, think carefully. I’m your daughter, and there’s only one chance for you to attend my wedding in this life. If you miss it, you won’t be able to have another chance. It’s such an important moment for me. If you don’t come, I won’t support you in your later years. You can only rely on me and Manfred now, don’t you?”
Thus, Ralphs had no choice but to withstand his waist injury.
Initially, he was hoping that Pearl and Lindsay would come to help. However, he did not expect that they would be so late. Now, only a few people from the Woolery family appeared. Wasn’t it a joke for others!
Pearl surered. “Haven’t the Woolery family been laughed at before? Our family members fight and even kill each other. Such a big joke has long been spread after all.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Ralph was silent for a while. “What are you talking about? I don’t know what you
Hurry up and come over quickly!”
Then, he hung up the phone angrily.
Sitting beade Pearl, Lirulsay heard Ralph’s words clearly. Soon, she received a call from Errol. Like Ralph, Errol also scolded Lindsay and Pearl and urged them to hurry over. It was as if they had owed him a lot of money.
Pearl wiped her hands and stood up, her lips curling up slightly.
“Let’s go. Since we have eaten our fill, let’s go watch the show.”
