Chapter122

The dinner was very sumptuous, with everything from the sky to the ground, it could be called a full banquet.

Wendell frowned slightly when he sat down.

Grandpa always ate light and simple food, why did he suddenly make such a big fuss today when he only added a pair of chopsticks?

It seemed that this "dinner" was not simple, maybe it was a " Hongmen Banquet ".

He didn't ask any more questions, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and prepared to eat.

Old Mr. Joule sat in the main seat, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone hasn't arrived yet, why are you in a hurry?"

Sure enough!

Wendell raised his eyebrows slightly and put down his bowl and chopsticks silently.

He guessed that Grandpa probably invited Valerie back as well, wanting to go his own way and set up a matchmaking situation.

So, he calmed down his handsome face and said coldly: "Grandpa, I know what you are thinking, but a forced marriage is not a happy one. Valerie and I are over, so you don't have to waste your time."

"Oh, you little brat, stop being sentimental!"

Old Mr. Joule stroked his gray beard leisurely, and said with a smile: "You are such a scumbag, how dare I give you to Valerie , wouldn't that harm her!"

Wendell was full of question marks.

Grandpa's words were unexpected to him, and he wondered how much truth there was in them.

At this time, the servant came to report happily: " Mrs. Joule is back!"

Valerie followed closely and walked into the villa hall.

Wendell maintained his handsome and noble posture, raised his cold eyes, and pretended to look over casually.

Then... he almost vomited blood. He saw that

Cornell, whom he disliked so much, came with Valerie !

The man's already cold and handsome face was now even darker.

He looked at Old Mr. Joule and asked with an extremely dissatisfied look, hoping to get a reasonable explanation. But

Old Mr. Joule ignored him, smiled and waved to the two of them kindly: "Children, come on, come on, we have been looking forward to you all night, sit down and eat."

Valerie was stunned in the place, with an awkward expression. Obviously, she didn't know that Wendell would be here. For a moment, she didn't know whether to go up and sit down, or find an excuse to turn around and leave.

Grandpa , you are really good at planning !

Cornell , as expected of a young man, took Valerie 's hand and walked forward as if to declare war on purpose, and said to Old Mr Joule excitedly : " Old Mr Joule , my idol, I finally meet you, this is definitely the highlight of my life!"

Old Mr Joule was very surprised: "Wow, a kid like you actually knows me?"

"I know you, you don't know how much I admire you, you won that battle so beautifully!"

" That 's nothing, think about the past..."

So, the two people, one old and one young, who were half a century apart in age, chatted freely without paying attention to others.

Wendell and Valerie had no chance to get a word in, and no one expected that things would go like this?

The two accidentally met each other's eyes, and then quickly looked away. The scene was so awkward that it made people dig their toes on the ground.

After chatting for almost half an hour, Old Mr Joule was amused by Cornell and was in a very good mood.

"Hahaha, I finally know why our Valerie is having a scandal with you. I have to say... Edward Waters is so lucky. He is old, but he has a happy person like you. He has no regrets in his life!"

" Grandpa misunderstood."

Cornell smiled, raised his hand holding Valerie's , and said proudly: "Valerie and I are not having a scandal. We are serious." Old Mr. Joule's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and the cheerful atmosphere suddenly became much tense. He looked at Valerie and asked in a dignified manner: " Valerie ,

is what this boy said true?"

"This..."

Valerie 's nerves suddenly tensed.

She didn't want to deceive the old man, but if she denied it flatly, she was afraid that the old man would mistakenly think that she still couldn't let go of Wendell . If he tried to match them up again, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Wendell's eyes were cold, and his voice was arrogant and disdainful: "If you dare to do it, then admit it. You and I are divorced, why are you pretending!"
