Chapter 787
Downstairs.
The children had already woken up.
They went to bed too late last night, so they slept until almost ten o’clock today.
Gael, the housekeeper, was also sending gifts to the servants.
The servants were also sending gifts to each other.
Greyport was different from Mossbourne. Those who lived in Greyport would send give to others. It was just that the gift might not be generous, as it was just a symbol of blessing.
Although they were servants of the Everett family, they also sent gifts to the four little fellows as blessings.
“Merry Christmas.”
Davian and Irvin said to the servants. They were so happy to receive gifts that they didn’t even have time to have breakfast.
Of course.
The children just wanted to have fun and did not really need the gifts. Moreover, Bruce was quite generous in giving gifts to
the servants.
Therefore, the servants scrambled to give the children the gifts.
In the dining room.
The children had all gone to ask for gifts.
Only Bruce and Joanna were left for breakfast.
Joanna was not in the mood to eat breakfast at all. After thinking for a while, she could not help but say carefully, “Bruce, I… I want to discuss something with you.”
Seeing that Joanna was hemming and hawing, Bruce rolled his eyes at her and asked, “What is it?”
“Well, did you see the news yesterday?”
“What news?” Bruce took a sip of the milk and ate some oatmeal. He pretended not to know anything.
It was Christmas.
However, the Internet was filled with news of Tim’s death. How could he not have known about it? Joanna looked at him uneasily. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Oh, um… Jay’s father died of illness. Have you seen this news?”
“Uh, what’s wrong?”
Joanna fiddled with the milk and oatmeal in the bowl and said hesitantly, “I want to call Jay. Is that okay?” When he heard about this, Bruce’s expression clearly froze, and his chewing slowed down.
He knew that Joanna wanted to tell him about Jaydon.
Seeing his uncertain expression, Joanna quickly explained, “Don’t misunderstand and don’t get angry.
“As
you know,
v, Jay is my best friend. Now that his father has passed away, I should call and express my condolences to him.”
“Like you said before, my feelings for Jay are the same as yours for Aria.
“I do this out of concern for a friend!”
When Bruce heard this, he looked unhappy.
However, he still endured it.
Since Joanna had taken the initiative to tell Bruce, it meant that she was starting to care about his feelings.
Then Bruce might agree.
If she secretly called Jaydon behind his back, Bruce would definitely fly into a rage again.
“Sure! If you want to call him, just call him.”
“You agree?”
“Yes.”
“Aus tou cure that you won’t be angry?” Joanna asked worriedly.
This damn guy loved to say one thing and mean another.
Joanna had to make sure that Bruce would not get angry, lest he would get jealous again.
“Look at what you’re saying. Am I that petty?
“However, you have to call him in front of me, and you can’t talk to him about anything other than asking him about his father.”
When Joanna heard this, she could only bite the bullet and agree. “Alright.”
Then, Joanna took out her phone.
And she looked for Jaydon’s number
Then she called him.
It was Christmas.
Actually, she shouldn’t have called Jaydon.
However, there was no need to deliberately avoid anything with their close relationship.
The phone rang for a long time.
Jaydon slowly picked up the phone and said hoarsely, “Hello!”
When she heard Jaydon’s voice, Joanna’s heart suddenly tightened. From his voice, she could tell that he was extremely sad.
“Jay, it’s me.”
Jaydon paused for a few seconds before replying sadly, “I know, What’s wrong?”
Joanna choked, not knowing what to say.
“Well, I saw news about your father online. I was especially worried about you, so I called you.
“Are you alright? What’s your father’s illness? Why did he pass away so suddenly?”
“Joann, I really want to see you!” Jaydon said in pain. His voice instantly choked.
At this moment.
He felt disheartened and wanted to see Joanna even more.
When Joanna heard this, she subconsciously glanced at Bruce.
The phone was on speaker, so Bruce was also listening attentively.
“Jay, L…”
Bruce’s face darkened, and he let out a muffled cough.
Joanna frowned. “Jay, I’m sorry to hear that. The dead can’t be revived, and you have to take care of yourself.”
Jaydon could tell that Joanna was in a difficult position. He said disappointedly, “Lunderstand. You too.”
“Alright!”
“That’s all. I have to go.” With that, Jaydon hung up.
He knew that Bruce was right next
to Joanna.
He knew what kind of person Bruce was like.
Jaydon did not want the two of them to have another quarrel because of him.
As long as Bruce could make Joanna happy, Jaydon was really willing to let her go.
