Chapter26
Chelsea thought that Texas was too annoying, ‘Fall in love? We were just deceived by the Millers family!”
Only fools would choose this ugly woman, but Chelsea naturally knew that her words just wanted them to lose face.
The atmosphere was filled with awkwardness.
Benson walked forward and delivered his own congratulatory gift, “This is a high-foot silver cup from 500 years ago. I wish you a long life.”
A high-foot silver cup from 500 years ago? Hearing this, everyone was stunned. This cup was a very expensive and rare item. It was indeed an extraordinary gift presented by Benson. It was undoubtedly the most valuable gift at this birthday banquet.
Lynn stealthily glanced at Benson. His actions just now had the meaning of helping Lynn out. The old lady smiled and took the two gifts as if she did not care what the aunt said just now.
“That’s great. Each of you even prepares a gift for me. It’s too much.”
“No, Lynn, did the master of W. T personally roast this cookie? This is the famous Chinese zodiac of W. T.”
The old lady opened the pancake box and found that the biscuits were quite special. Not only it was soft and lovely, but each biscuit also had a delicate animal pattern and looked very interesting.
Lynn nodded, “Yes, grandma. I know the boss of W. T. He helped me cook these biscuits for me after he knew that I will present the biscuits to you.”
This box of biscuits wasn’t easy to get by at all. It wasn’t as easy as Lynn said. After she learned about the old lady’s birthday, she begged the boss of W. T for a long time to get the biscuits.
Aunt’s face turned ugly as she refused to believe it.
“W. T closed a long time ago. How could you get W. T’s biscuits? Who do you think you are? We all know that the boss of W. T has a strange temper, and even if one pays him very much, he won’t cook biscuits for him. You must have found someone to imitate these biscuits at the roadside stall.”
The old lady glanced at Texas, “You can’t get it doesn’t mean others can’t. W. T’s biscuits have a unique flavor. When you smelled it, you knew that it could not be fake. You talked too much tonight.”
The old lady had criticized her, and aunt did not dare to stir up trouble again. She stood there with a dirty look.
After criticizing her, the old lady gave a kind smile to Lynn and Benson.
“The two children have already prepared their gifts thoughtfully. My wish for my eighty is that I wish you two are happy in the future and give birth to a child as soon as possible.”
What? The birthday wish of the eightieth birthday was to wish Lynn and Benson a harmonious union that lasted for a hundred years. People all knew that the birthday wish of the old lady was to wish the Warner family prosperous in the past.
Why was she so casual this year? Not only had she not made a wish, but she also said the wish casually and only blessed the two people.
Benson and Lynn were more embarrassed. Be happy and give birth to a child… Lynn felt quite awkward and started sweating. How was that possible to give birth to a child? It would never occur to her and Benson.
Benson was also taken aback for a moment, but when he saw Lynn’s red earlobe, he found it strange that this woman could be shy.
Housekeeper, who was next to the old lady, reminded them with a smile, “Are you too happy to forget to thank Mrs. Warner? The old lady only has one birthday wish, and she made it for you.”
Lynn gave Benson a look, which meant that he should thank grandma. But Benson turned his face away and ignored her.
Lynn clenched her fist. What was wrong with him? Alright, it was clear that men were always unreliable when facing such situations.
“Thank you, grandma.” Lynn instantly changed into a smiling face and answered.
Texas was speechless when she saw the scene, and she was more hostile to Lynn.
After all, if Mrs. Warner liked Lynn so much, then her daughter-in-law would face a more difficult situation in the future. So she continued to cause trouble for Lynn.
“In my opinion, since you must wear a mask whenever you go out, there is no need to come to this banquet. You can’t eat or drink here. Isn’t it better for you to stay home?”
Texas was fighting with her to the end tonight. Lynn looked at her and smiled.
“Aunt must be joking. Grandmother’s birthday banquet definitely requires everyone to come together. Otherwise, this banquet would be meaningless. Regardless of whether it’s convenient or not, I should come.”
She didn’t expect that Lynn would fight back. She was about to say something again, but Mrs. Warner glared at her, so she shut up and dared not to say anything more.
Finding that their aunt finally shut up, John, who had not said anything before, came to Lynn and raised his eyebrows at Lynn. He pointed at the brooch on Mrs. Warner’s chest proudly.
Lynn looked at the brooch. It turned out that one was designed by her. No wonder she found John was quite happy today.
“Grandma, now that you have received all the gifts, tell me, which one do you like most?”
The old lady glared at John, who set a trap for her again.
“The gifts you gave are all your wishes. Grandma likes any one of them.”
John was not satisfied with her answer, “Is that so? Although the high-foot silver cup is eye-catching and W. T’s biscuits are ingenious, I think grandma’s favorite is still the brooch I gave her. Otherwise, why would she wear it on her chest? Grandma wouldn’t say it, then she must like my gift most.”
The old lady smiled, “You little bastard.”
This could be considered that she agreed with him. The reason why she liked broccoli was that it meant a lot to her, this was the first bunch of flowers her husband gave her.
“Grandma, to tell you the truth, although this brooch is from me, it is also thanks to my sister-in-law’s credit. This brooch was personally designed by my sister-in-law.”
Lynn was surprised. Wasn’t John afraid that she would steal his credit?
Sure enough, the old matriarch was startled when she heard this, and she looked at Lynn with a more praising expression.
“It seems like Lynn has a pair of skillful hands, so please Lynn help me cut the cake a moment later.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Now she asked Lynn to cut the cake, this was undoubtedly the old lady’s affirmation of Lynn.
Although Lynn was ugly, the old lady liked her. Everyone knew that if one was liked by the old lady, then she will be an important person in the Warner family.
The old lady waved her hand. “Okay, You guys go to socialize. I’m going to drink tea. Call me when cutting the cake.”
Once everyone dispersed, Lynn promptly walked toward Jack.
“Jack.” Lynn called his name, but Jack didn’t respond and walked forward in large strides.
She was right behind him, so close, didn’t he hear it?
