"I made a pot of seafood soup this morning. It tastes pretty good. I brought some for you guys to try."
Presley started laughing, "Since when did you become such a wife material?"
Wendy blushed, "Grandpa Presley, stop messing around... I'll go get the bowls! By the way, where are Damon and Nathan? Do they want to join us?"
Just as she finished speaking, Nathan walked in with a gloomy look on his face. Wendy immediately went to greet him, "Nathan, I brought soup. Do you want some?"
Nathan gave her a cold glance, "Doesn't the Harper family have a cook? Why do we have to wait for you to make soup?"
The living room suddenly fell silent. Nobody expected the usually easygoing Nathan to lose his temper like this.
Wendy was taken aback and her face turned pale. She was at a loss for words, feeling completely embarrassed, and didn't know what to say.
Presley, watching Nathan's sour face, said coldly: "Throwing a tantrum first thing in the morning? Wendy is just being kind. If you want to drink, then drink; if not, just decline politely. What's with the attitude?!"
Nathan frowned deeply, his cold anger making everyone uncomfortable. He glanced around the living room, sat on the couch, and looked very annoyed.
Presley gave Wendy an out, and she didn't miss it. She awkwardly smiled and said,
"It's okay, Grandpa Presley. Nathan seems to be in a bad mood... Let him be, I won't mind."
Nathan suddenly sneered, and raised his eyes, "Are all the women so indecisive like you? Willing to accept whatever anyone says."
Wendy frowned, her mood getting a little annoyed after being berated by Nathan in the morning.
"How can I make you happy then?" she retorted.
Nathan closed his lips tightly, frowning deeply. He remembered the message from Yulia last night, telling him she decided to follow his advice and get company shares.
His advice to her was to seduce Ronald Shaw! So she said she'd think about it, and now she'd really decided to listen to him and seduce Ronald?
How could the executive of the subsidiary of a listed company be so indecisive?
"Wendy, don't mind him! This brat needs a lesson, I'll let Damon teach him when he comes back!"
Presley couldn't stand seeing his grandson throwing a tantrum early in the morning, so he spoke up.
Wendy smiled, remembering how Nathan used to bully her when she was a kid because she was the only girl, and Damon often stood up for her.
She always cherished those memories; thinking back, she was always protected by Damon.
Nathan, with a mocking smile, said, "Yeah, always crying at the first sign of trouble. If Damon doesn't find you annoying, I think even if you cried down the Great Wall, he wouldn't lift a finger."
Wendy's expression shifted a bit, and she whispered, "I'll go get the bowls."
"I'm not drinking it, lest Damon comes back and hits me, forcing me to throw it all up."
Nathan's words successfully made Wendy stop in her tracks.
"Do you mean, Damon's not at home?"
Nathan laughed, his eyes full of mockery.
"He didn't come back after going out last night. Your carefully prepared seafood soup, what a waste."
Wendy's face turned pale, "Where did he go?"
