Chapter 714: 714: This Old Man, Can Act

Although Mrs. Lopez never said it explicitly, she always made it seem that Wyatt Kirk was not as good as Edward Lopez.

Did she really think her sister couldn’t see it?

Now, look who is inferior to whom!

Wyatt may be a bit of a playboy, but at least her son didn’t offend Adrian Zhekova!

Mrs. Kirk didn’t know that Wyatt almost did offend him.

But thanks to his thick-skinned nature, he managed to turn the situation around.

“Cousin, you’re awesome!” Wyatt couldn’t help but exclaim with admiration.

The Lopez family of three: “…”

Is this the time for you to show admiration?

Once their purpose was achieved, they politely thanked the Kirks a few times and then left.

After the Lopez family left, Wyatt finally exhaled: “I’m so scared, Mom. I was worried you would reveal that I know Brother Adrian.”

“Am I that stupid?” Mrs. Kirk glared at him, “Even though she’s my sister, her family is not ours. We can’t risk helping them at the expense of offending Adrian Zhekova. Giving them money is already doing our best.”

“Moreover, if our family offended Adrian Zhekova and their family just happened to have a little relationship with him, could they help us?”

“They probably wouldn’t even give us 50 million.” Mrs. Kirk had it figured out, and said to Mateo Kirk, “I really didn’t expect you to give them so much money.”

Mateo shook his head and said, “After all, it’s your sister’s family. If we don’t help at all when they come to us for help, you won’t be able to face your sister.”

“Helping too little, she’ll still blame you later, and it’s better not to help. So 50 million is just enough to shut them up.”

Mateo and Mrs. Kirk both knew that there might be a connection between Wyatt and Adrian Zhekova, but it certainly wasn’t deep.

Besides, who was Wyatt to advise someone who Adrian Zhekova had already decided to deal with?

You can’t take on this kind of thing.

So Mateo and Mrs. Kirk did not mention anything about Wyatt knowing Adrian Zhekova when the Lopez family brought it up.

It’s important to show off at the right time, and clearly now is not the time.

***

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve.

Adrian Zhekova also left work early today.

Little Morgan started his winter vacation early.

When Adrian went to work in the morning, Cindy Clarke let Morgan sleep in.

When he got up, cleaned up, and had a simple breakfast, Cindy took Morgan to the family mansion.

She didn’t let Morgan eat too much in the morning.

He just ate a slice of bread, a fried egg, and a glass of milk.

Because they were sure to eat at the old house at noon.

So she didn’t let Morgan eat too much, or else he wouldn’t be able to eat at noon.

Then, Cindy took Morgan to the family mansion.

Since it was almost the New Year, she let Cleave Roland have a vacation and didn’t ask him to pick them up.

Cindy could drive too, so she drove with Morgan.

Not long after they drove out of the garage, they saw snowflakes slowly drifting down from the sky outside the car window.

“It’s snowing!” Morgan said excitedly.

“A snowy New Year is a good omen.” Cindy said with a smile.

“I wonder if it’ll get bigger. If it does, I can make a snowman!” Morgan said expectantly.

“Check the weather forecast.” Cindy reminded, “Maybe there’ll be a hint.”

Morgan stretched out his hand, which was gloved to keep his body heat away.

So the snowflakes didn’t melt when they fell onto his palm.

The snowflakes were big, and Morgan looked closely at them.

“They’re just like the ones in books!” He exclaimed with delight, “I can’t believe they’re real.”

“I thought they were just drawn to look nice, I had no idea they would be like this!” Morgan examined them more closely.

He noticed that each snowflake looked the same, but the details were different.

It was like tree branches when they branched out, each one was different in some way.

It was as if he was looking at a wonder, he couldn’t stop staring.

Cindy could only remind him helplessly, “Let’s go, and be careful on the road.”

Especially since the old house was a traditional courtyard and had high thresholds, not to mention more than one.

If you don’t pay attention to the road, you’ll trip and fall.

After being reminded, Morgan immediately put down his hand and walked properly.

Inside the old house, Aunt Evans was kneading dough, preparing to make dumplings.

From afar, Old Master and Old Madam could hear little Morgan’s clear voice.

“Great Grandfather, Great Grandmother!” Morgan’s voice rang out from afar.

Old Madam heard Morgan’s voice and hurried to the door.

She almost went out.

“Old Madam, you’re not wearing a coat, you can’t go outside.” Aunt Evans reminded her quickly.

It was only then that the Old Master got up and went to the door, still grumbling about the Old Madam: “At your age, you should be steadier!”

“Morgan’s not here for the first time, you’re so excited like this.” Old Master teased, “Morgan will be here in a while. Why are you in such a hurry?”

“If you’re not in a hurry, don’t come over.” Old Madam gave him a cold look.

What’s this old man trying to pretend!

Old Master thought he’d make sure Morgan didn’t think he was unwelcome!

As soon as Morgan saw it, it turned out that only Great Grandmother was waiting for him at the door.

Great Grandfather was sitting quietly on the sofa, looking totally unexcited.

What if Morgan thought he didn’t love him anymore?

Old Master thought the Old Madam was too cunning!

She always tried to outdo him!

Old Master decided not to go anywhere, no matter how much Old Madam tried to push him away.

He wasn’t stupid!

At that moment, Morgan came running with a pitter-patter, getting closer and closer.

Old Master suddenly raised his voice and shouted, “Hey! Why hasn’t Morgan come yet? I miss him so much! My dear!”

Old Madam: “…”

This old man, what a showman.

It’s so late, why pretend you haven’t seen him!

Such an exaggerated performance, do you really think Morgan would believe it?

Morgan is smart, you know.

Who would have thought, the next second, Morgan’s voice filled with emotion rang out, “Great Grandfather, I’m here, I’m here!”

“Great Grandfather, I’ve missed you too!” Morgan ran over and threw himself on Old Grandfather’s legs.
