Bettany Levine came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and furrowed her brow, asking, "What's this about the president's little darling taking the lead?"
Bettany Levine stared at Anthony Crawford and exclaimed, "What nonsense did you show Lilly Crawford again?"
Anthony Crawford:“……”
He glanced at Josh Crawford and said, "It wasn't me."
Josh Crawford stood frozen in surprise.
Goodness, his father actually made him take the blame?
Although it was indeed him who said it, he didn't tell Lilly Crawford these melodramatic stories!
When Granny gave a dangerous look, Josh Crawford immediately raised his hand and said, "Granny, I didn't say a word! It was Jack playing an audiobook in the car, and we just listened!"
Jack:“......?”
Josh Crawford looked at him pleadingly.
There was no way around it. If he said it was his father who played the audiobook and listened to the novel, Granny wouldn't believe him!
He had no choice but to put the blame on Jack, feeling sorry for him.
Jack's mouth twitched, and he quietly said, "Old Mrs. Crawford, it was me who listened to it. I'll be more careful next time."
Bettany Levine nagged, "You're almost forty or fifty years old, a grown man, and yet you're reading romance novels?"
Bettany Levine also knew these romance novels.
Jean secretly read every novel she had while hospitalized and sick...
Jack chuckled innocently and said, "I got used to listening before, and suddenly I found them quite enjoyable."
Bettany Levine's gaze dimmed slightly. Yes, during Jean's illness, she couldn't pick up her phone to read her favorite novels.
But she would let it play and listen.
Everyone had become accustomed to listening.
Bettany Levine didn't say anything further, she just called everyone to eat.
"Lilly, go wash your hands and let's eat. The weather has turned cold today, so we'll have hot pot."
"Zachary Crawford stayed in the hospital for so long, his taste buds should have become bland... I made a few braised pig's trotters for him."
Zachary Crawford nodded and obediently washed his hands.
He had never realized how comfortable it felt to be back home.
While Zachary Crawford ate, he contemplated his visit to the Palace of the King of Hell.
