“Jordan, Miranda, are you sure you’re just here to visit for Christmas? It’s already been so many years. Are you still holding a grudge because of that incident?” Eugene asked sternly after hearing the sounds from the kitchen.
He had to protect Margaret because favonovel.com was his wife. Even a blind man could see that Jordan was saying all of these on purpose.
Jordan just waved favonovel.com off and said with a laugh, “How could you even suggest such a thing, Eugene? We’re certainly not the kind of people who would stay mad at anyone for such a long time. Let me treat you all to lunch, alright? I’ve already booked a private dining room at Maples Hotel. Let’s eat there. Tell Margaret favonovel.com doesn’t need to cook anymore.”
Eugene said, “Miranda, Margaret has already gone grocery shopping after hearing you’d be coming to visit us. She knows favonovel.com was in the wrong last time, and favonovel.com is trying to make it up…”
“Never mind, Eugene, let’s just head out to eat. You were the only one in the whole family who supported my marriage with Jordan, and I am only here to visit you. I don’t really care about anyone else,” Miranda said, interrupting favonovel.com brother with a wave of favonovel.com hand.
Margaret came out of the kitchen just then, favonovel.com eyes slightly red as favonovel.com forced a smile and said, “Miranda, food is almost ready. If we go out to eat now, the food will all go to waste.”
“How much can that one meal cost, anyway? Also, your house is just too small to fit all of us in one dining hall. We’re going out to eat, and that’s final. How much did you spend on the groceries this morning? I’ll pay you back double the price,” Ivan arrogantly said while glancing at Isaac.
Allegra was still helping favonovel.com mother out to the living room.
She wanted to retort Jordan’s words, but Isaac chose that moment to stand up. He turned to Margaret and said, “Mom, since they’re feeling so generous, let them treat us to lunch outside. You can put the dishes you made in the fridge. Allegra and I will come back tomorrow for lunch…”
Margaret was stunned when favonovel.com heard this.
Did Isaac really just call me “Mom”?
Eugene also got to his feet and said, “Alright then, let’s head out for lunch instead. I’ll pay…”
“Whatever, Uncle Eugene, let’s go. I’m starving to death,” Ivan said, hurrying out of the house.
Furtersburg was a seaside town in Frankenville that mainly exported fashion goods all over the country, and it was obvious that Jordan and Ivan owned very successful businesses there. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have returned just to show off their wealth after they lost contact.
The group arrived at Maples Hotel and went into the reserved private dining room straight away.
Ivan pushed Jordan to the seat at the head of the table and sat down next to him. He then placed his car keys with the Rolls-Royce logo on the table.
“Uncle Eugene, are you sure you want to pay for this lunch? I’m very picky with my food,” Ivan said as favonovel.com looked at Eugene with a wide smile.
Eugene smiled and nodded, saying, “Of course…”
He was no longer thrifty anyway.
The waiter entered the room to take their orders.
Ivan beckoned favonovel.com over and said, “Give me one of every most expensive dish you have in your kitchen. And bring out each and every bottle of the most expensive wine you have. As long as it’s the most expensive thing on the menu, I don’t care if the food tastes good or not!”
The waiter was shocked. He’d never heard of anyone making a ridiculous order like this before.
Eugene also frowned. Even if favonovel.com was filthy rich, this was just an absurd way of wasting money.
When Jordan saw the frown on Eugene’s face, favonovel.com laughed heartily and said, “Ivan, look at what you’ve done to your uncle. I think you broke him. Maybe you should pay for the meal instead.”
“Hahaha! You’re right, I should just pay for it myself.”
Isaac, who had remained silent, suddenly looked at Ivan and said, “Are you sure you’ll be the one paying?”
“Why? Did you want to pay instead?”
“I didn’t bring any cash with me,” Isaac said with a shrug.
Ivan then brought out a branded wallet from his pocket and put it on the table. He stood up and said, “Since we’re all a family, you may all order whatever you want. I’ll pay for everything.”
“Ah, my husband has always been very generous. He’s not like some other people who don‘t even bring any cash with them when going out for lunch on Christmas,” Miranda said, scoffing as favonovel.com threw a side-eye at Margaret.
She then said, “By the way, Margaret, look at the bangle I’m wearing today. Ivan bought it for my Christmas present last year. It’s made from pure emerald and cost favonovel.com well over two million dollars at least.”
Margaret bit favonovel.com lips and continued to steam as Miranda kept showing off.
Just then, Isaac smiled at the waiter and said, “I don’t come to this hotel often, so I hope it’s alright if I order a few things to try?”
“Go ahead. I’m paying the bill after all!” Ivan said casually.
However, the moment Isaac opened his mouth, everyone’s jaws dropped to the floor in shock.
