Chapter 465: Chapter 464: Kent's 'shocking' performance

Alan really doubted whether there was only a six-year-old soul in his daughter’s six-year-old body?

“You guys can be lovey-dovey for a moment. I’ll go find other uncles.” The little thing slid out like a wind, wittily leaving the room for the two of them.

“Isn’t our baby a little too mature? Sometimes I really think that I’m not talking to a six-year-old child, but to an adult.”

Alan stood in front of the window watching his daughter running around like a butterfly in the garden.

He stroked his chin, “She even said that her father is a gangster and knows about sexual assault.”

Girls should learn how to protect themselves, but his daughter had learned it too early.

Olive smiled, “I taught her. I think children can grasp earlier about the awareness instead of just talking about different gender and covering it up. They should really know the correct gender meaning. For example, Annie is a girl. Nowadays, cases of sexual assault on children happen frequently in the news.

In order to prevent it from happening, I’ve told her since she was three that a girl’s body can’t be easily shown to a boy, especially which parts of her body that can’t be touched by a boy casually.”

This was very good. Alan didn’t think of that thoroughly. If he protected their daughter through external conditions, then his wife’s protection towards their daughter was more about educating her to know how to protect herself.

Barbecuing the villa here was unstoppable with constant laughter, but the Hoyle’s residence was deserted.

It was yet, yet the lights in Mrs. Hoyle’s room were still on. Ada pushed the door gently and walked in.

She saw her mother sitting on the rattan chair on the balcony with her head on her hands and was motionless.

“Mom, why aren’t you sleeping on the bed?”

Mrs. Hoyle rubbed her forehead and sighed, “Can’t sleep. When you’re old, you’ll get insomnia.”

“Or let’s have a chat?” Ada sat next to her.

“Ada, do you think son will really forget his mother after he has a wife?” Mrs. Hoyle let out a sigh, thinking about how indifferent her two sons were to her. It sat wrong in her heart.

“Mom, how can you say that? They all love you,” Ada comforted her mother.

Mrs. Hoyle sneered, “They only love their women. How do they still love me who is their mother? Look at your eldest brother, he challenged me in front of so many people, looking at Olive Steele like a treasure. And Aoba, even though he comes home, his heart isn’t. After he’s done eating, he hides in his own room, talking on the phone with that Chloe Malan. He was even being impatient when he talked to me who is his mother. Isn’t it not obvious that their women are more important than their mother?”

“How can you compare this matter like this?” Inside, Ada really wanted to say that wasn’t this all happen because she did it? But, her mother’s mental state wasn’t very good. She was afraid that it would irritate her if she was being too serious.

“I’m not. It’s your brothers.”

Just like an unanswered question—who would they save first when their wives and mother who couldn’t swim fell into the river at the same time. Her two sons would undoubtedly chose their women and abandoned their mother.

Ada felt that this old lady was going to drill horns and it wouldn’t be easy to change her opinion. Was the old lady protesting at her that her children was ignoring her?

But who was to blame for all this?

“Mom, let me tell you honestly and from the bottom of my heart. The women Alan and Aoba choose truly aren’t bad. You can accept a woman like Ophelia, but why can’t you change your prejudices over Olive and Chloe? Last night, you saw how smart Annie is. If it isn’t for Olive’s good education, how could there be such an excellent child? Do you really want to let your granddaughter not recognize her ancestors?”

“Huh, that’s because of our Hoyle’s good genetics.” When thinking of that child, Mrs. Hoyle’s mouth unconsciously raised up into a faint smile.

She was really a lovely child. Most of the child of her age would hide in their parents’ arms and acted cute. But unlike that little thing, she could understand everything what the adults were saying. She could even clearly understand each words. It was just the scene when she jumped almost made her faint out of scared.

Ada knew that the old lady fell for Annie. It was good that she liked her. This was the breakthrough point. She tried to suggest, “Or, I’ll bring Annie over tomorrow for you to take a good look?”

“Will Olive agree?” She thoroughly remembered that in Angel Hotel’s office, the woman said to her powerfully that Annie was a child of the Steele Family and wouldn’t humbly be the Hoyle Family’s granddaughter.

Ada saw the look of expectation on her mother’s face and became surer that her idea was brilliant.

“Don’t worry. Sis-in-law isn’t that stingy. In fact, she often persuades brother to be nice to you and not keeps arguing with you.”

Mrs. Hoyle snorted, “That’s just an act for your bother to see. She’s good at scheming that even you are confused by her.”

“Look at you, here we go again. You always look at her that way. You’ve never tried to understand her… I have enough or you’ll get angry later and can’t sleep.” Ada stared at the stubborn old lady. She was really helpless.

Actually, it wasn’t that the old lady didn’t have feelings for Olive. She just felt suffocated in her chest.

She worked so hard to raise her son, yet he was abducted by that woman. For that woman, her son also turned against her and didn’t come home after he returned to Jiangcheng. She was really upset.

“Can you really bring that kid here tomorrow?”

“If I said I can, of course I can,” Ada replied determinedly. She wasn’t afraid that Olive wouldn’t agree, but she was afraid of her brother.

After finally coaxing the old lady to sleep, she adjusted the room temperature, covered her up, turned off the lights, and closed the door lightly.

She went back to her own room. After thinking for a while, she called Olive.

At Olive’s, it was lively and noisy. Several men drank until they were drunk and they were thinking getting her and Alan drunk together.

Olive said that she couldn’t drink and just let them have a good time, so she barbecued for them.

Looking at them, if she let them know that she could drink, they would treat the drinks as water.

Damon stood up and said, “Sis-in-law, this is our first time drinking. If you don’t drink, how can we enjoy ourselves? Won’t you just drink a glass to show respect?”

Olive laughed, “Do you mean a glass together or a person a glass? Say it clearly first. You can’t dig a hole to fool me.”

James shouted, “Of course we all each are respecting sis-in-law a glass. Now that’s sincere. Right, Boss Kent?”

Olive counted them, “There are one, two, three, four, five, six of you. I’ll ruin my stomach if I drink six glasses. That’s not sincerity, but ruining my stomach.”

Luke laughed and said, “Sis-in-law, it’s okay if you can’t drink it. There’s Boss Alan to help you. He’s a good drinker.”

“You guys are bullying the weak. Two against six, no matter how it is, you guys win. We won’t be fooled. Or, should we play a game to be fair?” Olive suggested.”

“What game?”

Olive waved at her daughter, “Annie, has your kindergarten teacher even taught you how to play throw a handkerchief?”

“Yes.”

James was the first the raise his hand to object, “No, no. She’s your daughter, of course she’ll choose you guys. We can’t relax if this weird little girl starts to act.”

His opposition was echoed by others, “Yeah. That’s not fair.”

Olive laughed, “Relax. We’re not playing the real game and we don’t have handkerchief here. What we’re going to play is Annie will go around us, one of us will take turns to close our eyes and she stops when that person says stop. Whoever Annie stands behind at, that person must perform a show or answer a question from the person opposite him, which is the so-called truth or dare. You can’t repeat the show. For example, you sing for the first time, so the second one can’t choose that anymore. You can only dance or perform others, and so on. If the next person doesn’t want to choose either, then I’m sorry, you have to drink a big gulp.”

“This gameplay is interesting, “Kent said.

Damon said, “Since Boss has agreed, then we can only go all out.”

And Alan just smiled and watched his wife talking form beginning to end. This way, the probability of drinking was dispersed. Although these men weren’t a bad drinker, his girl was also a master who couldn’t get drunk. At that time, it would be hard to tell who would be drunk and sober. How could he not know his girl’s idea?

Kent won the prize on the first lap.

Annie giggled and said, “Sorry, Uncle Kent. You can’t blame me. If you want to blame, blame Uncle Luke for calling stop.”

James was sitting in front of Kent. With a smirk, he said, “Boss, do you want to perform, truth or dare, or drink? I have a few brothers here who want to ask a question and know something. Why don’t you give me the chance to get the answer?”

Kent ate a large piece of pheasant and swallowed it, “What answer? I’m going to sing. I’m afraid that when I open my mouth, it’ll blow your ears.”

Alan calmly picked his ears, “Listen carefully.”

Kent sang nothing else. It was a heroic song of heroism, which fit his image quite well. But he roared off-key, and steadily sang the whole song from beginning to the end.

Everyone was laughing hard and the alcohol they drank in the mouths puffed out.

“Boss, you’re not just blowing our eardrums, you’re poisoning our hearts.”

Olive burst out into laughter, then finally clutched her stomach and leaned in Alan’s arms.

After reaching the last note, Kent took a sip of his beer and put his glass on the table, “How is it? You’re all surprised, right? When I start singing, everyone will worship me!”
