Chapter 534 I’m a Divorced Man
There was an elderly woman about the age of his grandmother and a middle–aged couple sitting in the living room. Sharon was coming out of the kitchen with some dishes. They were those people whom Gilbert least wanted to meet.
As he turned around to leave, Madalyn stepped in front of him. “Since you are back, sit down, and have a good meal with the elders.”
“Hi, Gilbert. I cooked this meal myself,” Sharon said as she walked up to him.
Gilbert did not even glance at her but sat down silently on the couch.
Standing outside, Davian glanced at the scene inside the house and thought, ‘This is a freaking trap. Just as he was deep in thought, George came out and said, “Davian, your boss asked you to stay for dinner.”
Davian quickly shook his head. “No, no, no, no. I have something to do. I’m leaving. Please tell Mr. Kooper for me,” Davian said and got into the car in a flash.
George looked at the car speed away and shook his head in amusement. ‘Why are they all afraid to have dinner with the elders?‘
“Gilbert, Emma talks about you a lot at home.” A middle–aged woman smiled at Gilbert as a middle–aged man sat next to her. Gilbert looked at them and knew they must be Emma’s parents, while the elderly woman sitting with Gilbert’s grandmother should be Emma’s grandmother.
Gilbert leaned back, looking apathetic. “I’m a divorced man. What is there to talk about?”
The middle–aged man could not help but frown, but he said nothing. The middle–aged woman chortled. “Gilbert, no need to be so humble. You are divorced but still excellent.”
Gilbert sneered, his attitude making them uncomfortable, and Emma looked embarrassed and awkward.
By now, Sharon had already brought all the food to the table. Even though she had done so many things, Madalyn did not look pleased with her. She ignored Sharon and invited the Thompson family to take their seats. Sharon narrowed her eyes quietly, and after everyone had taken their seats, she found a seat to sit down.
