Gilbert was not pleased with Donna for stirring things up like this and was about to glare at her, but when he heard his baby grandson crying out for food, he suddenly forgot all about it, "Hurry up, waiter, hurry up and bring the dishes to the table!"
Madge and Linda looked at each other and both frowned.
"That's right, eating is more important! Don't worry, Donna. Today we hold the reception for you!" Kim said with a smile.
Linda saw this and tugged at her husband's sleeve in displeasure under the table.
When the last dish was served, Charlie also happened to come in after answering the phone.
Realizing that Kim was about to pour him a drink, he declined politely. "Uncle Gray, I can't drink. I'm driving here!"
"Then let the two old men drink. Charlie, don't drink then!" Linda saidd. She immediately took out a thermos flask from her bag. "Here's some chrysanthemum tea I brought from home, it's good for relieving heat and relieving fire, it's been dry lately, you youngsters should drink more of it! And these chrysanthemums were picked especially by Madge last month when she went to the manor. When she returned, she thought of making tea and gave it to you!"
After receiving the hint, Madge took the tea. "Charlie, I'll get you a cup of tea!"
As Madge said this, she filled the cup and gently handed it to Charlie.
Charlie twitched his lips and said, "Thank you."
Seeing that he had no intention of picking it up and was afraid that the Gray family would be unhappy, Gilbert frowned and coughed, then said in a deep voice, "Madge specially picked it and personally poured it for you. Hurry up and drink it!"
Charlie frowned and brought it to the corner of his mouth.
Afraid that Gilbert would say something unpleasant again, Charlie was just thirsty and drank half a cup of it.
Madge's eyes did not leave Charlie. After seeing him drink it, she was nervous, but more than a little excited, and with a hint of anticipation, she filled his glass again.
Donna raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "What's that? Pour some for me?"
Hearing this, Madge's hand, which was holding the thermos flask, was a little stiff.
"Donna, if you like it, I'll ask someone to send you some when we get back!" Linda smiled and said. She picked up the red wine on the table and took the initiative to get up, "But don't drink tea today, because I know you can drink. They drink white wine, you have to drink red with me!"
"OK!" Donna shrugged her shoulders.
Madge's expression secretly relaxed. After the meal, they stood up and left one after another. Donna mentioned that she would ask Larry to accompany her after the meal. Gilbert was not happy to hear that. On weekend, he wanted his grandson to come to Hogg's Mansion. Considering that his sister's number of visits to the country was limited, he didn't fight for it.
When they walked out of the room, Madge said softly while Gilbert was right behind her, "Charlie, I have a classmate party next. Can you go with me? A few of them came back from abroad and want to see you. All you need to do is to show up!"
"0 fcourse he can go!" As expected, Gilbert had already answered for Charlie.
The car ran at a constant speed on the road. There's a lot of cars overtaking them on the right, but the driver still maintained a moderate speed.
About ten minutes later, the driver turned back and reported, "Ms. Hogg, Mr. Hogg's car is parked in front of us!"
Donna, who had her arms crossed in front of her, opened her eyes, lowered the window, and looked out, "Didn't you say something about a school reunion, why did you go to the hotel?"
But what a coincidence! The hotel happened to be the one where she stayed after she returned to the country.
Therefore, it's not stalking!
