Chapter 1833
After accepting the gift, Mr. Riddle Sr. led Mr. Johnston Sr. and Jared to the dining hall. At that moment, the chef and servants had already prepared a lavish feast.
Seeing that, Mr. Johnston Sr. could not help but say, ’Oh, you didn't have to do this, Mr. Riddle Sr."
Mr. Riddle Sr. smiled genially. "Think nothing of it. You've prepared such a big gift for us. This is only natural."
The two elderly men politely bowed to each other and took their seats. Mrs. Wallace Sr. was arranged by Daniel to sit beside Mr. Riddle Sr.
Mr. Johnston Sr. gave Mrs. Wallace Sr. a glance. "Is this... your missus?"
After some hesitation, this was the guess Mr. Johnston Sr. made.
However, Mr. Riddle Sr.'s wife had passed away a long time ago. When did he take a new wife?
Mrs. Wallace Sr. suddenly found herself in an awkward spot. She had never encountered such a situation before and did not know what to say.
Yet, Mr. Riddle Sr. smiled. ’She isn't my wife, but this is Mrs. Wallace Sr. who had raised Nicole since young, so she's naturally a part of our family."
Mr. Johnston Sr immediately knew that he had misunderstood things and laughed. "Ah, so she's the lady who raised Nicole. My bad, my bad."
Mrs. Wallace Sr. smiled embarrassedly, looking a little bashful.
Mr. Johnston Sr. looked at Mrs. Wallace Sr.'s graceful and gentle face and could not help but glance at Mr. Riddle Sr. "However, Mrs. Wallace Sr.'s face is indeed extraordinary. It's easy to cause a misunderstanding like this. It
Mrs. Wallace Sr. found it even harder to respond and so Nicole grabbed onto her arm and said, "Of course. Grandma has always been taking good care of herself, so she looks very young."
Mr. Johnston Sr. smiled. "Indeed. With such a temperament, Mrs. Wallace Sr. must've been a beauty during her younger days."
"Mr. Johnston Sr. you flatter me..." After receiving one praise after another, Mrs. Wallace Sr. could only respond shyly.
Mr. Johnston Sr. then took his seat and the rest of the family also sat down.
