385 Getting Over You
Five years passed quickly. Spring had just come, and the weather was chilly. The maids were so busy that they were walking around the house.
Henry stood in the kitchen and asked them, "Why are you in such a rush? Take it easy!"
He then noticed Jennie washing vegetables in the yard and asked, frowning, "Why are you cooking again, Jennie? You don't have to do that. There are plenty of servants here."
Jennie raised her head, smiled softly, and said, "It's fine, I have nothing else to do, anyway. Ryan is coming back, so I'm going to make him his favorite dish."
Henry sighed and explained, "I get lonely at times. Ryan lives on the army base, and Wayne frequently goes on business trips with Matthew. Natalie is studying abroad, and Peter hardly ever walks around. You're the only one I can meet every day here."
Jennie smiled sweetly and said, "The kids have grown up and have their own lives. Besides, they're all returning today. Ryan mentioned that he's bringing Emily back. If Peter knows about this, he will be delighted."
Henry's eyes shone brightly. He asked, "Is Ryan bringing Miss Lewis back? That's fantastic! Peter has been looking forward to him getting married because Wayne is unlikely to marry again. I'm going to tell him right now!"
With that, Henry dashed off to Peter's yard to break the good news to '384 Getting Over You him. Jennie smiled and continued to cook. She knew her children's lives were in their own hands, and she wouldn't meddle in their lives. However, Peter was getting older and needed something to hold onto, so he always cared too much about their lives.
Ryan and Emily had been dating for a long time. However, they were both living in the army and rarely returned home at the same time. Although they had never mentioned that they would get married the Wrights had already regarded Emily as Ryan's fiancée.
At night, the family gathered for dinner, which had been a long time since they had done so last time. As for Natalie, she was still abroad and did not show up. Peter was so delighted that he had the maid fill his wine glass.
Seeing that, Ryan frowned and said, "Grandpa, the doctor said you can't drink. Maybe you can have some tea."
"I'll just drink a little, it's no big deal." Peter had always been adamant about his decisions. There was nothing anyone could do to stop him from drinking.
Ryan gave Matthew, who sat across from him, a wink. Getting his hint, Matthew said, "Great-grandpa, if you have one drink today and one drink tomorrow, our cellar will be empty."
Everyone laughed when they heard that.
Matthew was eleven, and he looked quite handsome in his Burberry plaid vest. He was still a child, but his gaze was determined as if he had been through a lot. He resembled his father in appearance.
Peter froze and exclaimed, "Why are you so worried about the wine? You should be as concerned about my health as Ryan is."
"You know your health better than anyone else. I don't need to remind you that you're still waiting for Ryan to marry and have children!" '384 Getting Over You
Ryan immediately glared at Matthew. Matthew, on the other hand, pretended not to notice his gaze. He thought, Ryan, you're the one who gave me the wink and asked me to persuade my great-grandfather. You gave me this hot potato, so I'm giving it back to you.
Peter paused for a long moment before setting his glass down. He told Ryan, "You and Emily should definitely get married. You've been busy recently, but you'll be busy after you get married, So, you should get married right away."
