Chapter 190 As soon as she heard that there was going to be a feast, Ava knew that her sister was definitely going to cook it herself, so she cheerfully answered yes. Chris made up for his mistake and stayed behind. Hailey, perhaps in a good mood, was being gracious to Chris. “If you can make the old man take a bath and change into clean clothes,
you’ll get your quarterly bonus back this month.” “Got it!” Chris thought to himself that there was nothing difficult about this. He had helped the old people take baths at home many times, and he had plenty of tricks to deal with them. The Garden of Rose had everything, a hot spring, for example, and a sauna. Chris was such a genius. He successfully coaxed Jason to not only take a bath but go to the spa and the sauna. When Jason came out of the sauna, he was dressed in shirt and grey trousers, and he looked fresh and clean. Still, he held the tobacco pipe tight in his hand. “Grandpa.” Ava was serving dishes, and when she saw Jason approaching from afar, she called to him with a smile. “That’s right, how nice it looks to
dress like this.”
Jason hummed lightly and pointed at Chris next to him. “This is the boy who had been pestering me to the spa and sauna, I have never
taken a bath for so long in my life, I almost got soaked.” Chris smiled, saying in his heart, “I’ll get my quarterly bonus if I can get you into baths, I have no choice but to save money for the marriage in the future.” Hailey came out of the kitchen and carried two dishes. When she saw Jason, the corners of her lips curved up. “Feel so nice after the bath, right?” Jason grunted and cooed, “I’m quite comfortable even if I don’t shower.” Not eating anything delicious at the wedding banquet, being hungry all day, and soaking in the bath for half a day, the old man had long
been starving, and he was already drooling at the delicious food he saw. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had the dishes made by my eldest granddaughter, come on, hurry up, where are the forks?” The three young people accompanied the old man to have a few sips of wine after the meal. Austere white wine, which tasted like a knife cutting through the throat, made them blush and their bodies burned up. Ava was a lightweight drinker; she couldn’t hold her liquor and collapsed after drinking half a glass of white wine. Chris asked for Hailey’s permission before he dared to carry her upstairs. Once in the room, Chris put Ava on the bed and just as he was about to take off her shoes, he almost got kicked in the face by Ava. “Phew, don’t kick back.” Ava was lying on the bed, looking drunk and silly. Her face was red, blushing like a flame, looking particularly delightful, and Chris was kind of attracted by her look and couldn’t help but go up and pinch her face. It felt smooth and soft in his hand. But he didn’t expect Ava to be this drunk and still her hands were quite strong. When he pinched her face, she felt a bit of pain and frowned, and then dragged Chris to her front. He was caught off guard and lunged forward, his body pressed down, and his mouth …… just collided with hers like this. Who took advantage of whom exactly?
The only two people left at the dinner table were Hailey and Jason. Hailey was also a lightweight drinker like Ava, and after a few glasses of the white wine, her face also blushed, becoming like a flaming
fire. Jason looked at Hailey, took out an almandine garnet and a carving knife from his smoking bag, and he was able to carve a small figure with the help of the light. A lifelike figurine was done within a few moments. The old man held the carved almandine garnet in his hand and handed it to Hailey. “Ms. Newman, this is a gift from grandpa.” Hailey was just watching her grandfather carving with rapt attention, and her thoughts drifted away for a while, as if she was back in her childhood, sitting on her grandfather’s lap in the dim yellow light, watching him with a carving knife. Pieces of jades were engraved with figurines, landscapes, flowers, birds, fish and so on. That was some fine handiwork. At that time, she felt that jade carving was the most interesting thing in the world, and grandpa was the most powerful jade carving master The old man’s palm, very wide and with thick calluses, made the small figurine in his palm look more and more crystal clear and small. Hailey reached out and took the little statue from his hand, loving it so much that her eyes were hooked on it and couldn’t look away. “Thank you, grandpa.” Jason grinned and laughed. “You little girl, you finally show a smile in front of grandpa.” Hailey held the small statue in her hand and played with it lovingly, but she hummed softly at his words, “Who told you to avoid me and
