Chapter 853 - Fireworks (1)

Ferne had just returned to City Y from Happisland City.

Before he could make a trip to the Dalton Hotel, he was called back home by Lisa. He asked Noah to take care of the Dalton Hotel, bought some New Year's goods, and accompanied his parents to visit his relatives. He went back to the Dalton Hotel with a tired body on New Year's Eve.

"Come with me for the New Year's Eve dinner." Ferne was lying on the sofa. He was so exhausted that he looked toward Noah even without turning his head. Noah was sitting in front of the computer.

"No." Noah refused.

"Trevor will be going home this year. Are you going to spend the New Year with your sister in the Peck's?" Ferne turned over and lay face down on the sofa.

"No," Noah said as he took out a cigarette and lit it up.

Ferne nodded. "So, come home with me," he said.

Again, Noah said no.

"Damn. What's the matter with you? Are you planning to spend the New Year alone?" asked Ferne as he got up from the sofa and looked at Noah with a frown.

After Noah checked all the accounts and bills on the computer, he held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at Ferne from a distance, "Do I have to spend the New Year with a group of people?"

"Anyway, I told my mom to prepare dinner and a room for you. You know her well. She always repays people for their kindness. She has been thinking about the watermelons you gave her for more than half a year. She tried to persuade me to take you home for dinner. And today happens to be a good day." Ferne took out the buzzing cell phone from his pocket and showed it to Noah, "My mother is urging me. Or you can tell her that you don't want to have dinner at my house because her cooking is too bad."

Noah didn't know what to say.

When the Dalton Hotel was closed, the waiters were all whispering to each other and they could not help laughing.

"Mr. Ferne is taking his girlfriend home for the New Year!"

"What a joke! It's Mr. Ferne and his boyfriend!"

"Is there a difference?"

"A big difference!"

This was the first time Noah went to Ferne's home, and also the first time he spent the New Year in someone else's house.

Noah went to the supermarket to buy some nutrition products as presents for Lisa. Ferne kept nagging that nothing was needed. But Noah still bought a lot of them and carried them in his hands.

When the two got out of the car, Lisa was already waiting at the door. When she saw Noah coming down, she welcomed him as if he were her own son. "You are getting more and more handsome."

"Mom, I've never heard you praise me for being handsome." Ferne rubbed his nose in annoyance.

"Just look at yourself in the mirror." Lisa rolled her eyes.

Ferne was speechless.

Seeing that Noah had bought a lot of things, Lisa was happy but complained, "Just bring yourself. Why did you buy so many things? It's a waste of money. I am so happy that you come."

"That's it! The famous line from the Spring Festival Gala! In the show, the host said he hated presents but was unpleased to find the guest did come empty-handed. It's so funny!" Ferne exclaimed.

After laughing for a long time, he found that both Lisa and Noah were expressionless, so he ceased to laugh and walked in with a slight cough, "Forget it, it's not funny."

A maid was cooking. The fragrance came from far away. There were many dishes on the table, at least a dozen.

Jonny went downstairs and greeted Noah, and then went upstairs again to call his friends. He had many business dealings so he needed to contact his partners during festivals to maintain relations.

Ferne took out his favorite bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet. Just as he was about to show off his wine to Noah, he saw that there was no one in the living room. He looked around and heard laughter from the kitchen.

Noah was wearing an apron in the kitchen, helping to cut the vegetables. He was very good at it and his movements were clean and smooth. He seemed to be shinning as a tall, competent, and perfect man.

"I didn't believe you when you said you knew how to cook the other day. But now, I believe it." Lisa kept praising Noah.

Noah slightly smiled.

"I heard from Ferne that you have been taking care of him for the past few days. I was looking for an opportunity to invite you for a meal. But you were so busy. It was not easy to see you until the new year."

"I was just helping, not really taking care of him," Noah said in a clear voice while cutting some vegetables.

Lisa laughed when she heard this. "He is always like a king and needs someone to serve him. He doesn't cook or sweep. So he must have caused you a lot of trouble," Lisa said.

Noah felt her words a little strange, but he focused on cutting and did not think much.

"Noah, tell me the truth," Lisa whispered as the kitchen maid walked out.

When Noah heard this, he subconsciously put down the knife in his hand and looked up.

"Does Ferne have a girlfriend?" Lisa asked.

"I don't know," said Noah, lowering his head to continue to cut.

"Haven't you always been together? Are there any girls who are close to him?" Lisa asked.

"Maybe. But I don't know," Noah said, looking at her.

Ferne stepped in from the door with a bottle of red wine in his hand. He looked indifferent but a little annoyed. "Can't you just ask me about it? Why did you ask him?"

Lisa did not say anything else and asked directly, "Then do you have a girlfriend?"

Ferne glanced at Noah and said, "No."

"Alright. A guest will come later. A good-looking girl. Remember to have a good chat with her later." Lisa said.

Ferne was instantly stunned. He looked at Lisa in disbelief and asked in surprise, "You arranged a blind date for me on New Year's Eve? Are you crazy?"
