Chapter 443
At the same time, compared to the Roberts family’s calmness, the Landor family had exploded.
When they heard that Edward was coming back tonight. Sherri and her family stayed in the Larulor family’s residence. Their main focus was to wait to hear the gossip.
When Edward walked in and saw the familiar lineup, he felt a headache coming. However, he still braced himself and carried his luggage in
The people in the living room had not changed much. Only his niece was missing from the lineup. She was most likely asleep at this time, Otherwise, there would still be the same number of people as before.
Edward was not in a hurry to go upstairs. He placed his suitcase at the top of the stairs. He proceeded to unbutton his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his tanned skin. Under the gaze of Sherri, Hackett, and the Landor family, he sat down in the armchair.
People who were in the know knew he was in a relationship. Those who did not would have thought he had committed a crime.
He spread his feet and rested his arms on his knees. He pushed his spectacles and mentally prepared himself. “You didn’t go to bed because you wanted to wait for me to come back? Also, why are you home?”
The last sentence was directed at Sherri.
Sherri spoke very sincerely. She leaned against Hackett’s body, looking very intimate with him. “I just wanted to learn about your progress with Rose.”
He knew that this was the reason. When he met. Hackett’s complicated gaze, Edward did not understand for a moment. Hackett pursed his lips and didn’t say anything. Frank actually didn’t beat Edward up. It was fine if he didn’t beat him up, but how could he even let Edward and Rose proceed with their relationship unimpeded? What was he thinking? Frank must be crazy after he was in a relationship.
Juana clasped her hands nervously and excitedly. “Edward, how did it go? Was Dr. Roberts satisfied with you? Did Dr. Roberts despise you for being much older?”
Sherri’s eyes widened. She never expected her mother to say aloud that her precious son was old.
Hackett, who was eating oranges, choked at his mother–in–law’s words. He tried to rescue his image in Juana’s eyes to gain a favorable impression. “Juana, Edward is actually not old either. It’s just that he’s a little slow. Isn’t he already catching up to us? Right, Edward? Good luck. I wish you all the best.”
Edward fell silent. Back then, he had hit Hackett a little too lightly and let him go too easily.
“Speaking of old age, Frank is the one who is dating a far younger woman. At the very least, Rose is already 26. Ava is only 22. However, Frank is faster than his brother–in–law in terms of speed,” Hackett thought inwardly.
Hackett was dissatisfied with the fact that Frank did not beat Edward up.
Edward pinched the space between his eyebrows. He did not know what to say about this meaningless interrogation. When he met the expectant gazes of the entire family, he replied in exasperation, “Mom, she doesn’t think that I’m old. We’re getting along quite well at the moment. It’s not the time for the subsequent questions you’re thinking about,” Upon hearing this, Juana felt much more at ease. “Alright. It is good that she is satisfied and that both of you get along well. Go to bed early then. Remember to say goodnight to Dr. Roberts before you go to bed. Sweet talk more when you are with her. Don’t keep everything to yourself. If you behave that way, she won’t understand what you are thinking. If you really don’t know how to verbalize things directly, you can talk to Hackett.
Hackett stared at Juana. Was she degrading him or praising him?
Richard did not say a word throughout the entire process. He was here to make up the numbers. He did not want to participate in such a meeting at all.
However, he had to appear every time. It was also mentally tiring for him.
It was not easy to be an absent figure. Silence was gold in his eyes
Sherri encouraged him enthusiastically. “Edward, you have to say what you feel out loud. If you don’t say it, how can others understand? I believe in you! Do your best!”
Edward eyed his sister. It turned out that Rose’s idea of dating in secret was really good.
Before going upstairs, Edward reminded Hackett, “Don’t bring Sherri around for no reason. Focus more on her pregnancy She’s pregnant.”
He was really afraid that Sherri would give birth to a baby who loved to gossip.
Hackett shrugged and did not feel embarrassed at all. “It’s not like you don’t know my status in the family. Do you have
some misunderstanding about what say I have?”
Edward couldn’t respond to this at all. Before he went upstairs, he sympathized with Hackett for a few seconds.
The living room at the Wilson’s residence was filled with harmony and laughter. For Theo, he had finally experienced the joy of having his family with him.
When Natalie’s children were burn, he would have no regrets even if he died right then. He smiled lovingly and placed his hands on his walking stick. His eyes were filled with love as he sat opposite Natalie and said to her, “Natalie, you didn’t come to the Wilson’s residence when you all went out to play on Children’s Day I have prepared gifts and they didn’t get sent out”
Trevon placed his hands on the back of the sofa. He crossed his legs and did not speak.
It was impossible for his grandfather to prepare a gift for him.
He lazily played with his wife’s curly hair. Her hair was smooth as silk and soft to the touch. Playing with it made a part of his heart feel fuzzy.
Ile automatically ignored Theo’s disdainful gaze.
With a tacit understanding between them. Natalie did not stop the man from playing with her hair. Fortunately, it was just playing with her hair. It was nothing. She smiled and replied, “Grandpa, do I have a present too?”
There was a hint of playfulness in her tone.
Theo’s eyes were filled with joy. His wrinkles were squeezed together, and his eyes were amiable. He really doted on Natalie as if she was his biological granddaughter. “Of course. You’ll always be a child in Grandpa’s eyes, no matter how old you are.”
“Gage, bring the presents here.”
Natalie’s heart warmed when she heard that. It was as if her grandfather was right before her. Back then, her grandfather had also said this to her. “Natalie, no matter how old you are, you will always be a child to your grandfather.”
Her heart felt bitter and sweet at the same time, and her lips curled into a blissful smile.
At this moment, Rachel stood up and signaled Gage not to take it. “I’ll go”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
While talking, Rachel had already gotten up and gone upstairs. Jasper naturally climbed onto Caleb’s lap. After his legs recovered, Caleb would always carry Jasper on his lap from time to time.
Natalie liked this family atmosphere very much. It was warm and distant. Everyone’s faces were filled with smiles.
