Chapter 423 - Francis Walter (1)

"It's too late. Stony hasn't had dinner yet. Why not have a meal and take a rest at our house before we set off?" Jaquan asked with a smile.

Bernice and Emma had got in the car. Deon snorted and closed the car door. Then, he lost his temper with the driver, "Hurry up! I would kill you if I lost them!"

The driver dared not say anything.

Just as they were about to drive, the door was knocked on twice and then opened. Allen's punctilious face showed up.

"Well, I'm afraid that you get lost. I'll lead the way." After he finished speaking, he noticed the awkward atmosphere in the car and didn't move. A moment later, just as he was about to turn around, Deon nodded and pointed to the front, "Take the passenger seat."

"Alright." Allen heaved a sigh of relief.

Deon always spoke in a commanding way. However, considering that Allen looked honest and was also the grandfather of Stony, Deon coughed lightly and decided to keep a low profile when talking with him.

"What do you want to eat?" The silence in the car forced Allen, who usually never took the initiative to speak, to find a topic. He wished to show his friendliness to this in-law who always kept a long face.

"Whatever. Some simple dishes will do." Deon rubbed his eyebrows sleepily and said, "Three fried scallops with foie gras, one pesto pasta, two milk polenta, one conger soup, and one black rice."

Allen froze.

Deon, who was trying to keep a low profile, noticed this strange silence and said after thinking, "There's no need to bother. Some steak and red wine will be enough."

Allen got speechless.

Deon looked unbelievably at Allen's face in the rearview mirror and wondered that there was no steak or wine?

He paused for a moment and added reluctantly, "Forget it. We can just eat whatever you have."

Allen finally felt relieved and answered, "Okay."

Deon was quite sleepy before but felt awake after this. Perhaps Stony's appearance excited him. Now that he was in the same car with Stony's grandfather, he planned to ask him about Stony's preferences first, to get along with Stony in the future.

Neither of them was good at chatting. Allen was an old scholar and did not like to talk about household affairs. But Felice was an exception. This scholar would respond to whatever she said when being with her, who was everything to him.

Deon was another exception. He was like the landlord, and Allen was like a peasant. How could the peasant ignore the landlord's question?

Definitely no.

Allen replied one by one. Though he only spent two days with Stony and knew almost nothing, except Stony's sizes as he bought two sets of clothes. Also, he played chess with the child.

Allen told him everything, and the car had not arrived. Deon started a new topic, "How many girlfriends have your son had?"

Allen was beginning to sweat when he heard this. As an honest person, he hesitated for a long time and then forced himself to lie. "No, he did not have a girlfriend before."

When Deon heard this, he raised his eyebrows. "Not a single one?"

Allen shook his head.

He wondered, "With this, you couldn't have any reason to doubt the loyalty of my son to your daughter, can you?"

However, he was wrong.

Deon got excited. "What the fuck is wrong with him? Hasn't he ever been in a relationship? How can he be called a man with no old flame?"

Allen got shocked.

"It's normal if you have told me that he had seven or eight girls," Deon said with a frown.

Allen was dumbfounded.

He swore for the first time in his heart, 'What the hell were you talking about? How could you say that!'

Meanwhile, Jaquan was driving his car in a comparably harmonious atmosphere.

Emma and Stony sat in the back seat, next to Felice.

Felice felt guilty and uneasy when she saw Emma again. She used to like Emma very much. However, when she heard from Jaquan that Emma had a kid, she made up her mind not to let her son see her again. It turned out that Stony was Jaquan's kid and her grandson. All this happened so fast that she had not even digested that and was already sitting beside Emma.

"Well, honey, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Although Stony has been found safe, I still feel sorry for you. If it wasn't for me..." Felice stretched out her hand to hold Emma.

Emma grasped her instead. "It's my fault. It has nothing to do with you. Even if those people had failed at this market, they might have kidnapped him elsewhere."

Jaquan looked into the rearview mirror with his eyes narrowed and his lips pursed. He did not like what Emma had said.

Felice stubbornly said, "No, if I took good care of him, this would never happen. I should be to blame."

Emma didn't know how to persuade her, so she looked at Stony and said, "Explain yourself."

Stony grabbed Felice's hand and said, "Grandma, I am sorry. Don't be angry or sad. I won't run around in the future, I promise."

When Felice heard this, her heart softened. She hugged him and said, "How can I blame you? It's Grandma's fault."

Stony insisted, "No, it's my fault."

After more than ten rounds, Felice finally gave up, "Alright, it's our fault, okay?"
