Chapter 278

Chapter 278 Outside the banquet hall.

Tonight, Jerome did not attend as well as Xavier family’s other young masters. He was only wearing a simple, elegant, dark gray, high-definition suit. His short hair was combed clean and refreshing. His gold-rimmed glasses added a bit of a scholarly air to his deep, auspicious phoenix eyes.

“Son... Let, let’s go home? I’m afraid...” Mrs. Xavier looked timid and gently pulled the corner of Jerome’s clothes.

Tonight, she was dressed exceptionally beautifully by her son. She was wearing an expensive purple-red cheongsam. She had meticulously tied up her hair into a neat bun with a jade hairpin worth Million.

She only wore a simple set of pearl necklaces and earrings, but this set of pearl jewelry was specially made by Stoeyae’s imperial family. It was even more expensive than diamond.

In his heart, he only had one relative.

He naturally had to give her all the best.

“Don’t be afraid, mom. I’m here.” Jerome smiled gently at her mother and grabbed her hand.

“But...”

“Mom, I brought you here tonight. If the Lord wants you to see Chloe, didn’t you say yesterday that you missed her? You’ll see her tonight.”

“Yes... Chloe, I want to see Chloe.”

Mrs. Xavier’s eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted, “Chloe! It’s Chloe!”

Jerome quickly turned around and saw Chloe walking towards him. His eyes were filled with heat and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise.

“Chloe.”

“Mrs. Xavier!”

“I didn’t expect you to come over. I’m really happy!” Chloe said with a smile.

“I’m also very happy to see you, Chloe!”

Mrs. Xavier liked this girl from the bottom of her heart and gave Chloe a big hug. Then, she quickly grabbed a handful of chocolate sugar beans from her small bag and stuffed it into her hand. “Sugar!” “Did you especially like chocolate when I saw you last time? I brought it for you!”

“Mrs. Xavier, thank you for remembering me.” Chloe held the candy and felt warm in her heart.

She was such a person, and she had been used to too many big scenes since she was a child, and she had experienced a bloody storm on the battlefield.

Strong and vigorous, soul-stirring, might not be able to move her, but the ordinary warmth of fine water and long flow, which was the easiest to move her.

“You are so beautiful today.” Chloe praised with a smile.

“Is, is that so?”

Mrs. Xavier blushed like a young girl. “It was my son who chose clothes for me. I usually wear loose and casual clothes at home.

Suddenly being so formal... I’m very unaccustomed!”

“It’s really beautiful, Mrs. Xavier.”

As she spoke, Chloe smiled faintly and looked at Jerome. “Jerome has good taste.”

When Jerome saw her smile at him, his breathing became hurried, and his heart was like a surging sea that could not be calmed for a long time.

“Xavier family and the others are here. Director Xavier and my father are at the same table. I will take you there now.” Chloe supported Mrs. Xavier and was about to walk forward when Jerome hurriedly called out to her, “Chloe, wait a minute.”

She looked back, puzzled.

You also know the situation of our family. Back then, my mother and I lost our position and shares in Xavy Group and were sent to Stoeyae by my father. We were unable to return for a full fifteen years.

“At that time, I was young and my mother was in poor health. You can imagine how difficult it was for us mother and son to live together at that time.” Jerome’s throat seemed to be soaked with bitter medicine. It was dry and hoarse.

1/4 10:58 Chloe silently listened to him, and the image of the young boy taking care of his sick mother appeared in his mind. She was very upset.

“So, I don’t want to sit with Xavier family and the others. I also don’t want my mother to be with them.”

Seeing that Chloe did not say anything, Jerome thought that she did not want to agree, so he smiled bitterly, “If you think that an outsider like me sitting with you makes you uncomfortable, then forget it.”

This time, when my mother and I came, you also saw it. The gift for Third Madam was also brought, and it was enough.

“Then we will go back first. I won’t disturb you.”

“Jerome, you’re thinking too much.”

At this point, how could Chloe have any reason to refuse? He only said gently, “Let’s go. We’ll have dinner at the same table.

Tonight is just a family dinner. Don’t be too stressed.”

Jerome beamed with joy, and her phoenix eyes cur ved. “Thank you, Chloe.”

Chloe led Jerome and his mother into the venue.

“Big brother! Look, look! It’s that woman!” Patt was shocked and quickly pointed to the door.

Koda swayed the red wine glass and raised his eyes coldly.

When he saw Jerome and Chloe walking together, talking and laughing, he suddenly frowned.

“It seems that Fourth Brother has a good relationship with Chloe.”

“Ha, that’s right. As the saying goes, women are afraid of annoying men!”

Patt gritted his teeth and stared at Jerome while drinking wine, “Fourth Brother is a natural born cheap bone, who can be shameless!”

They hadn’t even started their relationship yet, yet they were already serving Miss Thorp tea, pouring water, and peeling prawns.

If they really got together in the future, wouldn’t he have to pee for her every day?”

Selene glanced at Second Young Master in disdain, feeling that this little uncle’s words and actions were really vulgar, not the slightest bit like a young master from a wealthy family.

“Didn’t Dad say before that he wanted to matchmake you and Chloe?”

“If this continues, your future young mistress will become your younger sister.” Koda raised his eyebrows coldly.

“I, Patt, am not a lowly person! If you want me to be like Fourth, groveling and pestering you like a dog, I can’t do it!” Patt was very disdainful.

“If you keep pestering her, it can make you a hundred billion son-in-law, make your value rise sharply, and become a tiger that has grown wings, can you still do it?” Koda asked in a cold and faint tone.

Patt was stunned and pursed his lips.

“Second brother, if you don’t work hard, all our efforts will be in vain.”

Koda leaned toward Patt and said in a low voice in his ear, “If he really got married to Thorp family, especially that daughter most doted on by Director Thorp, then this kid will soon turn the tables and become a strong opponent for you and me.”

Little fourth is a thorn in your eye. Watching him rise up a tall building and soar to the top, I think it will be worse than killing you, right?

Hearing this, Patt stared at Jerome fiercely.

Chloe brought Jerome and Mrs. Xavier to the front of the family.

“Oh! Mrs. Xavier! You’re back from Stoeyae? It’s been a long time!”

As the wife of Stefan, Helena and Freya quickly stood up to greet her. They were very polite.

“These two are...?” Mrs. Xavier looked at her son in a daze.

“Mom, this is Director Thorp’s Second Madame. This is Third Madam. These are Chloe’s brothers and sisters. This is Anderson family Eldest Young Master. The cute young lady beside him is Sawle family Fourth Young Miss.” Jerome introduced patiently to his mother.

Vincent originally felt uncomfortable when he saw this little white face, but when he heard him call Annie “cute young miss,” his tightly knitted brows clearly relaxed a little.

Sigh, the men who had wanted to be dissatisfied in the past were too easily satisfied now!

Oscar took the lead, and all the juniors stood up. Thorp family’s children were still polite and polite.

2/4 10:58 Even if Thorp family’s brothers had a lot of opinions about Jerome, they would not express it clearly in such an occasion.

Only Joseph sat there with a cold and handsome face, looking at Jerome with a cold and cold gaze, the strings in his body were tight, like a bow full of anger.

He introduced everyone but left him alone!

Heh, looking down on him like this was clearly a provocation!

“Wow... so many people.”

“I can’t remember so many people. What should I do?” Mrs. Xavier looked at Jerome worriedly.

“It doesn’t matter, Mrs. Xavier. We are all old acquaintances. Don’t be nervous. Sit down.”

Just as Chloe was about to invite them to sit down, she suddenly noticed a problem.

There was only one empty seat left on the entire round table!

“Mom, you and Chloe can sit here. I’ll go to another seat.” Jerome suggested as if he didn’t want to make things difficult for Chloe.

“No, no!”

“Mom wants to be with you. Mom doesn’t want to sit here only!” Mrs. Xavier quickly grabbed Jerome’s arm and looked nervous.

Everyone looked at each other.

“Why do I feel that this Mrs. Xavier... looks strange?” Freya used her elbow to poke Helena beside her and asked quietly.

“I heard from Stefan that Mrs. Xavier has an Ache Hymer. From the looks of it, it should be quite serious. She even can’t recognize us.” Helena replied in a low voice.

“Ah? Oh my god... She has a dementia at such a young age? How pitiful...” Freya looked at Mrs. Xavier with sympathy. Seeing that Mrs. Xavier held her son tightly and refused to let go, Jerome looked at Chloe helplessly.

“Mr. Sawle.”

Chloe hesitated for a moment, lowered her eyelashes, and pointed at Joseph’s shoulder with the tip of her finger. “You don’t mind giving me a seat, do you?”

“Why should I give him a place? I came first.” The man slowly raised his eyes, and his starry eyes flashed with a stunned light.

Vincent pursed his lips and almost burst into laughter!

It was really a big grievance!

“As you can see, Mrs. Xavier doesn’t want to be separated from his son. I also hope that they can sit here, so I have to trouble you to change your seat, Mr. Sawle.”

Chloe was not willing to be next to him in the first place. This time, she was about to have an excuse. “After thinking about it, no one is suitable. You are the only one who is suitable. So, please move.”

Jerome hugged his mother and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. His lips cur ved into a smile, “No, way.” Joseph’s sword-like eyebrows tightened, determined to be a “nail house”.

“Okay, you are not leaving? Then I will go to grandpa’s table!” Chloe was angered by cur and really wanted to punch him! Joseph panicked and was afraid that she would really leave. He did not dare to insist and just wanted to get up.

“Chloe.”

At this time, Øscar stood up in time and said with a faint smile, “Mr. Sawle is also a guest. Don’t let him be in trouble. I will go to Dad’s fable. Don’t be unhappy because of this.”

With that his big brother left and made a seat.

Jerome’s face darkened.

He knew what Oscar meant by this, and because of this, he felt even more displeased.

Seeing that the trouble had been resolved, Joseph secretly let out a sigh of relief.

If there was a chance, he should really thank this brother-in-law.

The anticipated birthday banquet officially began!

Because Chloe had not met sixth sister for too long, he deliberately gave his left seat to Fran.

Jerome could only sit next to Fran. Because he could not get close to his sweetheart, he could not hide his disappointment.

3/4-

10:58 “Sixth sister, Fourth Young Master Xavier just came back from Stoeyae not long ago. You should have a lot to talk about.” Chloe did not want the atmosphere to become stiff, so he found a topic.

“Oh? Has Fourth Young Master Xavier lived in Stoeyae for many years?” Fran asked in surprise.

“Fifteen years,” Jerome replied with a smile.

“Then you can be said to be half a Stoeyae, much more experienced than me. I just married for three years.”

Fran also wanted to find some topics to talk about, so she asked casually, “What kind of job does Fourth Young Master Xavier work in?”

Jerome: “I have a company and do import and exporttrade.”

“Oh, it’s like this.”

“Fourth Young Master Xavier, can you be more specific about what goods your company import and exports?”

Joseph’s pale thin lips parted slightly as he coldly threw out this sentence.

Jerome’s brows pressed together, and his hand that was placed under the table suddenly tightened.

“This isn’t some business secret. It’s not that hard to talk about, right?”

Joseph narrowed his peach blossom eyes and swept a sharp gaze at him. “Or is it that the business that Fourth Young Master Xavier Corporation does is different from ordinary business and is unwilling to speak frankly?”
