Chapter 251
Meanwhile, Natalie. Sherri, and Ava were all ready. They were just waiting for the barbecur takroot to arrive
After the girls left. Trevon instructed fun to buy barbecue carefully and asked him to buy everything that Hackett had said during dinner
Seeing that the barbeque and drinks had yet to arrive. Natalie went to the window and called Lena to ask about her health When she heard from Lens that Mel had been taking great care of her she was relieved and hung up
After she hung up. Sherri asked with concern. “How’s Lena doing? Is she feeling unwel
Natale sat down beside her crossed her legs, and sighed. “She has been used to doing chores all her life She can’t relax and do nothing. Her body has recovered, and now, she’s cleaning the kitchen already. Mel said that the kitchen is actually quite clean, but Lena desperately wants to find something to do.”
In fact. Natalie could understand Lena Once a person that had always been busy suddenly had nothing to do, he or she would feel that every part of his or her body was rusting On the contrary, young people these days simply enjoyed laying around on the weekends. They wouldn’t even want to get up for their meals, and would mostly just have one meal a day, in addition to a late-night supper
Sherri suggested, “Let Lena do whatever she likes then. It can also help her pass the time”
Natalie was about to say something when she was interrupted by the doorbell. She stood up, put on her slippers, and ran to open the door. Outside the door, Jim was carrying three large bags of snacks, drinks, and barbecue. He looked strained.
Natalie was a little apologetic and forced a smile Mr Hawk, thank you. Im really sorry”
Jim did not hand the bags over to Natalie Instead, he insisted on bringing them into the room for her Even though the bags had already lett deep marks on his arms, he still refused her help “Mrs Wilson, Ill do it”
As he spoke, he had already carried the bags into the room Natalie did not argue anymore. Thinking that it must have been instructed by Trevon, she said. “Put them on the coffee table. Thank you for your hard work”
Jim scratched his head in embarrassment Natalie had always been polite She must have attracted Trevon with her many valuable attributes. “You’re welcome. It’s my job. I’m leaving now. Mrs. Wilson If you need anything, let me know” Natalie reassured him with an “Okay”.
After Jim left. Ava came out of the toilet. “Are the things here? Wow, there are so many. The food and drinks arrived just when I was in the toilet. It is too fast.”
Sherri smiled and said. “They’re from Mr. Hawk. Your warm-hearted brother-in-law is now so considerate. He has arranged for everything
“I really want to know who was it that taught Trevon to see better. He must have paid a lot for his lessons”
When Natalie heard this, she shook her head helplessly and pursed her lips without saying anything In fact, she was also
curious
Ava, on the other hand, was generous with her praise “Good for him.”
As they spoke, they sat down on the carpet and moved the coffee table that was in the way to the side, and put the barbecues on it. They also opened all the bags of snacks.
If not for the fact that Jasper and Ruby could not eat these snacks, Natalie really wanted to call them over to have some too. Sherri held the cards in her hands and kept shuffling them. “We can only play poker with only the three of us here. If Rose is here too, we can play bridge”
Natalie felt that this was a good idea and suggested, “Ava, why don’t you ask Rose if she would like to come?”
After saying that, Natalie took a packet of chips from the bag and opened it. She shared it with Sherri. It tasted just as good as when they were still young
Sherri took one and sighed. “Natalie, do you still remember who first shared something so good with u
Natalie sruled “I do. We bumped into a boy being bullied after school and stood up for him for the sake of justice. Then, he gave us a bag of chips as a thank-you gift
Sherri nodded. “Yes At that time, I didn’t dare to eat it. Later on, I became addicted to it as soon as I tried it out. I even hid the bag and went looking for it at the shop. I visited many shops to find the same brand*
Recalling the interesting things that happened when the two of them were young, they laughed at the same time. The chips still tasted the same as when they were young, but they were already mothers.
Ava had never eaten this before. She stared at the bag of chips and asked tentatively. “Is this delicious? Let me try it
Natalie handed the bag to her. Ava took a chip and stuffed it into her mouth. Sherri asked expectantly, “How is it! Is it
delicious?”
Ava nodded. She took a tissue to wipe her fingers and chewed a few times. “It tastes pretty good”
Sherri slapped her thigh and said, “I knew it. Natalie and I definitely have delicious snacks. We’ve tried them all. Next time, I’ll take you to eat durian and tacos. I guarantee you’ll like them.”
Speaking of durian, Natalie couldn’t help but think of Trevon’s disdainful expression. She remembered what he had said two years ago “Ask her if she thinks eating this is like standing in a toilet?”
He really didn’t know what was good for him. If he made a mistake in the future, she would eat durian in front of him. No, she had to eat it with him.
As she thought about it, she couldn’t help smiling. Even she did not notice it.
Sherri bumped her shoulder. “What are you thinking about? Look at your expression. Don’t tell me Trevon is bad at it. Is he really limp like a
She would probably never get over this joke about a loach. Fortunately, Sherri didn’t know that Trevon was once disguised as a woman. Otherwise, Natalie suspected that Sherri would laugh so hard that she might die from laughter.
She reached a hand out to turn her face away. “Eat your food. Is the food not good enough to shut you up?”
After Ava wiped her hands, she took her phone from the coffee table immediately and made a video call to Rose. The call. rang for a long time before it was connected. However, the scene shocked the three women there.
Rose was weaving through a pile of parcels as if looking for something. There were cardboard boxes all over the floor. The three women in front of the screen looked at each other. They were dumbfounded.
What was Rose doing? It was very messy. They were cardboard boxes everywhere. She was probably at a warehouse.
Ava asked the question on everyone’s minds out loud. She narrowed her beautiful eyes, blinked, and stared at the screen. “Rose, what are you doing? Are you tidying up the warehouse?”
On the screen. Rose was sweating profusely. She was so tired that she was panting. As she gave up looking for whatever she was looking for, she walked to the sofa and smashed into it hard. She said to the camera, “I bought a bag, but there are too many parcels I don’t know which one it is. I have been searching for a long time but still couldn’t find it. Forget it. I will stop looking for it. I’ll just open them all.”
Ava couldn’t hide her surprise. “So these are all parcels that you have bought. Aren’t you at the warehouse?”
Rose glanced at the living room filled with cardboard boxes. It indeed looked a little like a warehouse. No wonder Ava misunderstood. She smiled and said, “It’s the living room of Cranky Franky’s house. I bought a little too many things, and I never had the chance to open them all in time, so they were all piled up. I’m so tired.”
Sherri was already shocked. Rose had gone way overboard with online shopping. How much did she spend? She wondered. and asked weakly. “Rose, can I ask how much you spent on online shopping for everything in this living room?”
Rose thought about it. She didn’t seem to know either. She had paid for all these with Frank’s supplementary card, and she wasn’t the one receiving the billing information. It shouldn’t be much. “I don’t know the exact amount. It shouldn’t be much. It’s mainly because the billing information wasn’t sent to me.”
Natalie had been listening to their conversation the entire time. She sat quietly at the side and listened on. However, she was. still shocked by the extent of Rose’s online shopping. She did not know if Rose was doing so to torture Frank or herself.
Ava was a little envious. “Rose, your brother treats you so well.”
Rose did not deny that Frank indeed treated her well, but she had a sharp tongue. However, she did not want to continue the topic. “What are you guys doing? Are you partying?”
Ava nodded and smiled. “That’s right. Are you coming or not? We’ve already showered and are planning to play cards and eat supper.”
How could Rose miss out on something like this? She was planning to open all her parcels tonight, but now that she thought about it, she should leave it for Frank to open them tomorrow. “Wait for me for half an hour. I’ll take a shower and come over quickly. Which floor are you guys staying on?”
Ava told her the floor and room number.
As the three of them were about to remind Rose to drive carefully, she had already hung up the phone in a hurry. After hanging up. Rose called Frank. Her tone was neither good nor bad, and it was a little pretentious. “My dear brother, can I ask where you put your car keys?”
On the other end of the line, Frank had goosebumps all over his body. “Speak normally. Don’t use a voice changer.”
Rose cursed him in her heart and said directly. “I’m going to Grand Manor.”
Frank raised his arm and glanced at his watch. “It’s almost ten o’clock. Why are you going there at night instead of sleeping at home? Be good and stay at home. If you’re bored, please sort out your parcels.”
Rose put a hand on her chest to calm herself down. “Cranky Franky, oh no, my dear brother, they’re having a party at Grand Manor. It’s very boring for me to be alone at home. I’ll be afraid. Just tell me where the car keys are.”
