Chapter 185

Chapter 185 The Upcoming Play “You made them?” Matthew looked at the boy in front of him, and he couldn’t believe it. He remembered the last time he had eaten the Braised Shredded Chicken with Ham and Dried Tofu Shreds Jeremy made, it had been unpalatable.

Today, he almost thought that it was made by chef Gail. ‘It’s just a short time. Has he made such rapid progress?’ Matthew became unhappy and began to find fault. “This Churrasco, you have to cut it much thicker and add more sauces. And this turducken, although it should be crispy outside and tender inside, you’ve fried it too badly…” He put forward a lot of guiding opinions, but he was completely picky. Finally, he saw Hailey’s cold eyes and shut his mouth. Hailey looked at Matthew with cold eyes. “Do you know what is the principle of our restaurant for customers like you? Stay if you like to eat, go away if you don’t like to eat.” “How could a guest be treated like that?’ Matthew certainly didn’t want to go away, so he had to eat in silence. Jeremy also served the two newly prepared dishes. Hailey said faintly, “These dishes are enough. Don’t cook more. Go back early today and have a good rest after a hard day.” Jeremy wanted to say that he was not tired, but seeing Hailey’s firm attitude, he thought it was better not to refuse. He responded obediently, “Okay.” When he left, Jeremy politely said goodbye to Owen and Matthew, “Please enjoy your dinner, two elder uncles.” Matthew had been called “Master Matthew” for more than 20 years. But never had he been called “elder uncle” like today. It made him feel a lot older, angry, and slightly sad.

When Jeremy left, Matthew only felt that he had nowhere to vent his anger after holding it all night. He said, “Is this boy on purpose? Who is his elder uncle? He is taking advantage of me!” “Are you finished?” Hailey’s temper also rose. She looked irritable as if she would end the dinner in the next second. Owen turned the glass round table and turned the meat dishes to Hailey. “This guy has reached menopause. Leave him alone. You should eat more. See how thin you are.” Hailey frowned and didn’t say anything. The two people deliberately wanted her not to eat this meal today. Matthew squinted at Owen for a moment, ‘Now this guy still knows how to derogate from rival and to please Hailey. Tonight, he was doing better than me. What a mistake.’

The next day was Eve’s wedding. Just as it was daybreak, Hailey was awakened by the ringtone of her mobile phone. Eve began to bombard Hailey and Eve with phone calls early in the morning for fear that they would not go to her wedding, and Hailey had no intention of going. “Give me a reason to go.”

Hailey was sleepy, her eyes were not open, and her voice showed impatience and indifference. “Don’t talk about sisterhood and witnessing your happiness with me. Your happiness has nothing to do with me. I-don’t-care.” At the other end of the phone, Eve cried out in a hurry, “Grandpa will come to my wedding, too! Don’t you want to see him?” Hearing “Grandpa”, Hailey opened her eyes. “Grandpa will go to your wedding? Who said that?” Seeing that she was finally interested, Eve proudly said, “I’m his granddaughter. Of course, he’ll come to my wedding! I sent my wedding invitation to the old residence, and he has accepted it. He will naturally come to witness my happiness.” Before Hailey wanted to ask something again, Eve was in a hurry. “Well, I’m busy. That’s all. You hurry up and bring Ava with you. I might even throw the wedding bouquet if I’m happy!” She was very condescending and hung up. Hailey had sat up. ‘I have revealed the identity of Master Jade for more than half a month, but there is no news from Grandpa. Will he go to Eve’s wedding when he never likes that kind of occasion?’ She called Chris and asked him to check the whereabouts of grandpa. Chris agreed and reported another thing to her. After hearing it, Hailey couldn’t help sneering. “It seems that I have to go to today’s wedding. I can’t miss the upcoming play.” Hailey planned to go to the wedding, but she was not in a hurry. She knew they might not eat well at the wedding banquet at noon, they had to be full in the morning. So the two sisters ate breakfast leisurely at home. Hailey received a call from Morgan before they finished the meal. At the other end of the phone, Morgan was angry. “Where have you been?” “At home, having a meal.” “Having a meal?!” Morgan’s voice immediately became sharp. “What time is it?

We’re so busy. You don’t come here quickly to help entertain the guests but have a meal at home instead? Do you have a sense of family? Get over here before I get mad!” “You can get mad. Nobody will stop you.” Hailey was eating a soft milk-flavored bread and said softly, “Uncle Morgan, your waist injury has not yet healed. To avoid paralysis, you should try not to walk on the ground and sit in a wheelchair.” Morgan was just in a wheelchair! He was so old that he had been beaten and his waist had been broken. He had been lying in bed for more than a week. He had thought not to attend the wedding, but Eve had disagreed and forced the nurse to lift him into a wheelchair. She even had threatened him, “Dad, it will be the only wedding in my life. If you miss it, you will never see it again. If you don’t come to my important moment, I won’t support you when you are old. Now you can only rely on me and Luca.” So he went despite his back injury. He had expected Hailey and Ava to come and help, but he hadn’t seen any of them till now. Just a few members of the bride’s family came. Wasn’t that a joke? Hailey sneered, “Is our family still laughed at less? Brothers are quarreling and killing each other. Bigger jokes have been made.”

+ 20 “What are you talking about? I can’t understand. Hurry up, come here in hurry!” said Morgan, then he hung up. Ava heard Morgan’s words clearly beside Hailey. Soon, she also received a call from her father Reid, who also yelled at them and urged them to hurry over, as if he was collecting debts. Hailey wiped her hands, stood up, and smiled. “Let’s go. We are full now. Let’s go to the play.”
