Chapter 740
There were more than 20 tables of dishes organized on the huge and wide lawn of the Hopkins family, where maids were busy carrying sea urchin, lobster, and roasted whole lambs. A few chefs were cooking on the spot beside them
“You must be starving. Sit down and eat,” Nanny Faang greeted them with a smile.
Although they ate meat every day on the island, they had no seasoning to make the meat tastier. Chewing meat back then was just like chewing dried firewood. Gary and Crabbie were dumbfounded as they were received with such generous hospitality. It was obvious that this was planned in advance. Even umbrellas were prepared at the table.
“Thank you.”
“Then we will enjoy ourselves.”
Charles and Gary grabbed the best seats. As soon as they sat down, they forgot all about the dining etiquette and poked lobsters hard with forks. The sauce was fresh and it tasted delicious.
Since they were entertained by Patrick, they naturally didn’t have to worry about being poisoned or anything. Alan and others all ate happily.
Lucy felt that she had eaten too much meat on the island before. She thus finished three large bowls of ramen and burped heavily. Only then did she finally feel that she had returned to a civilized society.
Nanny Faang and the servants in the Hopkins family were all dumbfounded at the way these people ate. The way they took food seemed as if they were barbarians who had never eaten in their previous lives. They even
grabbed food with their hands with such passion and temperament. Those who were watching them eating could not help feeling nervous.
Instead of eating and drinking like crazy, Christina poked the spaghetti on the plate and had no appetite. She turned her head from time to time and always looked in the same direction.
“Junior Mrs. Hopkins, are you feeling unwell?” Nanny Faang quickly walked over.
“Several medical teams have been called to come over. When you are full, they will check you one by one.”
Before Christina could speak, Lucy who was sitting at the table next door immediately raised her head. Her eyes were as bright as the eyes of a wild beast, and she smiled strangely, “Senior Mr. Hopkins is seriously ill. Are you still in the mood to drag us over and treat us to delicious food? Even the medical team is prepared? How thoughtful.”
Nanny Faang seemed to be guilty. She couldn’t verbally fight with Lucy at all and stammered, “I, our Senior Mr. Hopkins told us to treat you well.”
“Grandpa is sick. Should I go to see him?” Christina had just been scolded, and her heart was full of guilt.
Nanny Faang quickly shook her head and said, “No, no. Please just sit down and eat.”
“Young Master Hopkins has already visited him. I think he will recover soon.”
As soon as she finished speaking, they heard an old man in the distance scolding like a loud bell. From Christina’s place, she happened to be able to see the lotus pond in the Hopkins family. Senior Mr. Hopkins flew his crutch made of phoebe zhennan S. Lee furiously, which hit Patrick on his forehead.
Lucy and Gary were both alert and they immediately turned to look over there in unison.
Their eyes widened as they found their boss’ forehead was bleeding.
Senior Mr. Hopkins’s face was as dark as the bottom of the pot. He was full of anger and scolded Patrick as an evil and unfilial grandson!
“Senior Mr. Hopkins is sick but still looks so energetic.”
Everyone looked at Nanny Faang with suspicion. It was obvious that Nanny Faang lied.
Nanny Faang looked very embarrassed. She could not directly say that it was all Senior Mr. Hopkins’s idea. They could only obey his orders.
Senior Mr. Hopkins was really angry now. His grandson and granddaughter-in-law had left him for over six months. How could he not be angry?
As early as a week ago, the Hopkins family had heard about the return of their cruise ship and immediately made plans meticulously. As soon as their ship docked, the Hopkins family caught them back, afraid that they would run away again.
“Junior Mrs. Hopkins, we didn’t mean to make you feel sorry, but… We are really worried about you.”
Nanny Faang tried her best to explain. Seeing that Young Master Hopkins was also striding over there, Nanny Faang felt great pressure.
Young Master Patrick grew a little stronger, his skin tanned, and he strode towards them elegantly and naturally To them, his temperament grew a little more dominating and a little strange.
Gary and Scott stared at Patrick’s injured forehead, which was bleeding. Their playful expressions were added with a sense of seriousness.
Christina felt the atmosphere seemed to be more oppressive. She quickly stood up, waved her hand, and said, “It’s just a small injury, not a big deal.”
She walked over and handed Patrick a piece of wet tissue, asking in a low voice, “Did you apologize to grandpa?”
Patrick took the tissue and wiped his forehead casually. After cleaning the blood on his forehead, a wound that was neither serious nor minor was revealed. Seeing this wound, Nanny Faang ran to the doctor in a panic. It was terrible. Senior Mr. Hopkins hurt Patrick badly. The wound might need stitches.
Compared to the suffering on the island, the wound on Patrick’s forehead was minor. He casually took a few tissues and pressed them on his forehead. He estimated that it would stop bleeding in a few minutes, and he didn’t care too much.
Seeing that Gary and the others all stopped moving their knives, forks, and chopsticks, Patrick looked up and said casually, “Hurry up and eat. After eating, please leave if you have nothing to handle.”
When Gary heard this, he felt the atmosphere start to be lightened again.
Seeing that Patrick’s forehead gradually stopped bleeding, Christina was relieved. She then drank two large bowls of chicken soup and felt her stomach was warmed. In an instant, she felt that living in modern society was so happy
Patrick was sitting beside her. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and ate seriously.
Watching from a distance, they were all dressed in rags and pants and they all looked tanned. “A large group of wild monkeys. What kind of table manners are these? How decent is it?” Near the lotus pond, Senior Mr. Hopkins, who had been secretly watching them, cursed and muttered to himself angrily.
The old butler accompanied Senior Mr. Hopkins and smiled bitterly. He looked at Patrick with great relief and satisfaction.
Lucy, Gary, and others all did things quickly. After filling bellies with enough food, they all left and did not stay longer.
When heard about their return a week ago, everyone in the Hopkins family was excited, expectant, and worried. They had been nervous and anxious during that week. After preparing them with enough food and drinks, they hoped that they could sit down and tell them what they had experienced during the past over six months.
Unexpectedly, after Patrick and Christina had enough to eat, they had a tacit understanding and went back to their original bedroom quietly. They fell asleep quickly.
“They ran to bed when they were full. Didn’t they say anything?” Senior Mr. Hopkins was very dissatisfied.
Nanny Faang ran over to report, shaking her head, “They didn’t say anything. I have put hot water in the bathtub, but they didn’t even take a bath. They just lay on the bed and fell asleep.”
Originally, people should be cautious as not to intrude into the bedroom of a young couple. But Senior Mr. Hopkins was furious. Holding back his anger, he held his crutch and came to the master bedroom of Eastern Garden. He originally wanted to kick the door rudely, but he got hesitated again and chose to unscrew the door handle secretly
“Senior Mr. Hopkins, this is not proper.” Nanny Faang and the butler followed behind and reminded him carefully
“What’s wrong with it? I’ve seen everything. If they are so diligent in having a baby, I’ll withdraw immediately
