Chapter 264
Lunch was very plentiful. Every dish on the table showed how good the Wilson family was to Natalie. They were basically her favorite dishes.
The entire dining room was filled with smiles. Even the servants were smiling. With the old and the young around, it was hard not to be happy
As the saying went, having an old man at home was like having a treasure.
Theo occasionally made a joke and teased Trevon and Jasper. Jasper couldn’t eat so well independently yet and could always perform a few clumsy movements, causing everyone to laugh. They all felt that he was very cute, not clumsy
However, the beautiful painting would always be disturbed by tactless people, such as those who came uninvited or those who felt good about themselves.
“There are so many people. Why didn’t you call us when it’s so lively?” A sharp voice with a strange tone came from the door.
Hearing this, no one turned around. However, everyone’s hand that was holding tableware paused for a moment before returning to normal. The playfulness stopped.
After all, they did not welcome the owner of the voice in their hearts, so there was no way to fake a welcome. Today’s lunch could be said to be hard-won. It was interrupted not long after it started. Even Theo was dissatisfied.
As expected, Theo’s face darkened and he put down tableware heavily. There was no hint of welcome in his tone. “Didn’t we agree to cancel the gathering in the future?”
“Cancel the gathering?”
Natalie turned her head and looked at Trevon inquiringly. The man who caught her gaze held her soft little hand under the table tightly and tapped his palm twice to indicate that Theo was right.
After Max was disabled last time. Theo felt that the fake gathering was no longer meaningful. In addition, Jasper would go to the Wilson’s residence. It was better to live separately
However, he did not expect the others to suddenly come today.
Peggy’s family felt that what happened last time was not as Trevon had said. It was just that there was no evidence, so they gritted their teeth and swallowed. When they went to look for the female celebrity from last time, she was unconscious and they could not ask her at all. The next day, Peggy went back and said that she had already been discharged. In the end, she seemed to have disappeared. Many people they sent out could not find this female celebrity.
The matter was very fishy, but there was no evidence
Even if she was unhappy, she could not flare up at Trevon This kind of loss made Peggy feel suffocated.
Peggy’s tone was strange and did not find herself disturbing at all “Uncle, isn’t Max getting engaged? I brought Emily here to get to know him. No matter what, we’re family Besides, Trevon is May’s savior
Everyone knew what the words ‘savior meant. Only Natalie did not know. She calculated in her heart and felt that there were many things she
did not know
However, now was not the time to ask. He would talk about it tonight
From Peggy’s tone, she had a feeling that Max’s disability was more or less related to Trevon. She did not know if it was her imagination.
“Emily?” Even with his back facing her, he knew that Emily was here. If he didn’t want to see her, he would still meet her. Things that he didn’t want to see often happened the next second.
This was a terrifying law. It was just like when you were in primary school. One day, you would slack off and not memorize. When the teacher in class said that he would test everyone’s self-discipline today, you would say in your heart, “Don’t pick me. Don’t pick me. Don’t pick me.”
However, this kind of thing was so mysterious. In the next second, the teacher would definitely call you out. You would wondered if the teacher had divination skills.
Trevon kept rubbing Natalie’s soft fingers under the table, as if to reassure her. Everyone at the table had already stopped eating. Only Jasper continued to eat innocently, and the sound of his slurping was heard.
He was eating happily and mouthful after mouthful. He would also laugh and say that the food was delicious.
Rachel sat at the side and did not feel awkward at all. She even smiled. She liked her grandson’s calmness
Jasper would ignore everything that had nothing to do with him.
Natalie looked at his son and thought of Trevon in a second. Could this calm and annoying look be inherited?
Trevon was silent for a moment before answering. “So Peggy, are you here to thank me today?”
He turned around and added annoyingly. “You’re quite sincere. Why are your hands empty? Are you thanking me verbally?”
Carlos sat down on the sofa and vented his anger on Jim who was sitting on the sofa “Since when is it your turn to sit? You’re quite bold.”
Trevon had already stood up. He was filled with anger and dissatisfaction. He took a tissue and wiped it before casually throwing it on the table “Grandpa Carlos, why do I feel that you’re not here to thank me? You look like you’re here to find trouble”
How could Theo not see the coldness on his grandson’s body? Today was the first time he had officially brought Natalie back for dinner. It was also the first time a man and woman in love met their parents. The beautiful painting was definitely unhappy that it was interrupted. In addition, this grandson did not know how to read people’s expressions. Other than Natalie, he probably would not restrain this hostility from him.
Theo quickly stopped Trevon, afraid that he would show bad behavior in front of Jasper. “Trevon, sit down” Then, he signaled Natalie with his
eyes.
Natalie was a little embarrassed after receiving the order, but she still held Trevon’s hand. When she couldn’t remove her hand, she simply stood up whilst holding his hand.
He didn’t turn his head, but the dissatisfaction on his face clearly decreased. He reached out and took her hand off his arm, interlocking their fingers.
This action was very eye catching. It pierced Emily, who had been standing in front of them and was being hugged by Max. She was jealous, but she still pretended to congratulate her. “Congratulations, Sis, for stepping into the Wilson family again.”
Upon hearing this, Theo’s expression darkened, but he still had a kind smile on his face. “Miss, you’re an adult. It’s better to think before you speak. After all, trouble comes from the mouth.”
Emily was wearing a limited edition dress and carrying a limited edition bag. She was very confident. “Grandpa Theo, I’m just congratulating Natalie. I don’t mean anything else.”
Although she said that she was congratulating Natalie, there was no hint of congratulations in her words.
Theo did not reply. He only turned around and instructed Gage, “Serve coffee.”
Emily stood in the living room and felt that something was wrong, but there was no evidence.
Natalie: Why do I feel like the green coffee is stuck?
Trevon pulled Natalie to sit down beside Theo, ignoring the gazes of others. Then, he said to Jim, who was still standing, “Sit, why are you standing? Do you still want to grow taller?”
Jim understood what Mr. Wilson meant. He immediately sat down in an armchair at the side. To him, all he cared about was Natalie and Trevon. The others didn’t pay him so he didn’t care.
No, he had to listen to Theo. After all, Mr. Wilson couldn’t beat Theo.
This move was undoubtedly an embarrassment to Carlos face. A few minutes ago, Carlos had asked Jim to stand up.
Carlos said to Trevon with a sullen expression, “When did the Wilson family become indiscriminate?”
Trevon crossed his legs and replied casually, “Grandpa Carlos, that’s not right. Jim is my assistant and also my subordinate. Why is there no distinction between the top and bottom? The Wilson family is not the palace, and this sofa is not a throne with gold trimmings. How is he not
allowed to sit on it?”
Carlos was rendered speechless
They had come with a purpose today, so Carlos no longer bothered about Jim. He originally just wanted to establish the prestige of the host.
Peggy pulled Max and Emily to the side and sat down. He picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip. He said to Emily beside him, “Emily, you’re about to marry over. The two of you are fated to be married into the Wilson family. You have to learn from your sister in the future. If you don’t understand, ask”
Emily immediately pretended to be a good student. ‘Sis, please guide me in the future.”
Just as Natalie was about to speak, Rachel came over with Jasper in his arms. She walked towards the sofa at the side and started talking before he even sat down. “Peggy, your future daughter in law’s memory isn’t very good. I remember Natalie saying two years ago that her mother only gave birth to one child. Why is she calling Natalie her sister? This shows that her IQ isn’t high. If you have nothing to do, spend more time teaching her. How can she address Natalie wrongly?”
“They’re half sisters What else can she call her?” wondered Peggy.
“I can’t really just call her by name here, can I?” Emily complained inwardly
Ted did not come today. These words evoked a scene from two years ago. It was also the scene of Rachel arguing with Emily. It was still Carlos who suppressed his anger and suggested, “Just call her Natalie.”
*Things are so complicated in affluent families. I’d prefer things when they were simple, thought Jim
Emily gripped her bag lightly. Her nails dug into the leather bag. She gritted her teeth and called out, “Natalie.”
Natalie didn’t stand on ceremony and replied very naturally, “Yes?”
Since Rachel was helping her, she could not act shyly. She had to act confidently.
Max’s eyes never left Natalie’s. He had completely forgotten that he had the lost ability to erect
It was not that Rachel did not notice that Max was looking at Natalie. She reminded Emily. “Don’t address Natalie wrongly in the future. If you can’t remember it, you can write it on your palm. Jotting things down always helps.”
Emily thought to himself, “I’m not a fool.”
As soon as Rachel finished speaking, she turned to Max and said, ‘Didn’t your mother teach you basic manners? It’s a disease to stare at others when they’re not talking to you. Don’t let me see it a second time.”
Only then did Max look away Carlos glared at his good-for-nothing grandson. They didn’t get any advantages today, so why were they here?
Carlos went straight to the point. “Theo, look, Max is about to start a family. Get Trevon to arrange a position for him in the Wilson Group Look..
Carlos’s eyes were filled with anticipation. He hoped that Trevon would agree. Now, the Wilson Group was under Trevor’s control. Theo had completely let go.
Therefore, he was asking Trevon. However, he was asking Theo because he hoped that he could persuade Trevon to relent
Natalie cursed in her heart. Max and Emily were really compatible. They were both unemployed.
After a while, Trevon said, “Alright, the Wilson Group has been recruiting a large number of salesmen recently. Why don’t we let Max try? I wonder if Grandpa Carlos will be willing”
Carlos was rendered speechless
Peggy was definitely unwilling. How could her son be a salesperson? This would definitely not be good if word got out. They would definitely be laughed at if Max became a salesman.
