Chapter 452 - 452 They Were All His Grandsons
Charlie hurriedly stood up, looking a little incredulous. “Joseph, why did you come out of the kitchen?”
Isabella immediately stepped forward and happily introduced, “Today is the Qixi Festival. so Joseph personally cooked this for everyone.”
“The Qixi Festival? Joseph personally cooks?” Angelina covered her mouth with her hands. She looked at Joseph in surprise as if she was looking at a monster. “Joseph, did you really cook?”
Then, she slowly stepped forward and looked at the food on the plate curiously. “Wait. Can you tell me what did you cook? Why does it look so strange? French fries?”
Joseph was annoyed. “This is vinegar shredded potato.”
“Vinegar shredded...”
Angelina paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. “Oh my god, you are too shameless. They can’t be called shreds at all since they are so thick!”
Joseph was on the verge of losing his temper. Isabella immediately smoothed things over. “It’s his first time cooking. It’s not perfect, but it tastes good. Thank you for your advice.”
.....
As she spoke, she pulled Joseph and winked at him.
Joseph said unwillingly. “This is my first time cooking. Thank you for your advice...”
Then he couldn’t help but glare at Angelina and said coldly, “If you can’t accept it, you don’t have to force yourself to stay in the manor. Get out of here.”
The smile on Angelina’s face froze in an instant. Then, she snorted arrogantly. She took out her phone and flicked her long wavy hair. Her eyes were charming. “I don’t want to argue with someone like you. I want to video call my honey and tell him that my stupid brother can finally cook now. And I am happy about that!”
Joseph immediately went crazy. “Who are you calling stupid? You don’t know how to cook either!”
“I know how to cook instant noodles and make poached eggs from my honey!”
“Just instant noodles? It can’t be called cooking!”
“But you can’t even use the gas stove, can you?”
They began to argue.
Charlie watched from the side and laughed out loud, “Alright, enough. Stop arguing. No matter how Joseph cooked, this is his first time. We have to cheer him.”
Then, he smiled and held Isabella’s hand. He asked kindly, “Did you teach Joseph, Isabella?”
Isabella immediately supported Charlie and said obediently and honestly, “No, I am at most a supervisor. He was personally guided by William.”
“That’s good too.”
“Joseph would never do such a thing in the past. Isabella, as expected, the power of love is great. He got the right wife!” Charlie said with satisfaction.
Isabella smiled happily. She looked at Joseph who was fighting with his sister and couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s mainly because he is willing to change himself and improve himself. Otherwise, I would have no way to deal with him.”
Everyone sat down and praised the special breakfast that Isabella had specially prepared. Although Joseph’s vinegar shredded potato was not good enough, it was quickly finished since it was his first time cooking. Even William and the maids were approved to taste Joseph’s “virgin dish”.
It was simply the beginning of a joyous day.
Breakfast passed happily amidst the chaos and praise. When it was close to the end, someone came in and told Charlie that Andrew and Andy had come over to give him the gift for the Qixi Festival.
Everyone was suddenly silent when they heard this.
Charlie was just about to speak when he looked at Joseph who had a cold expression on his face. Charlie looked upset and helpless, but he did not say anything in the end.
The day before yesterday, Joseph had a conflict with Michael and his wife, and because of their provocation, he had injured Isabella. Joseph’s anger had not subsided at all, so when he heard this, he only snorted coldly. He had no intention of letting them.
However, Joseph disliked them did not mean that Charlie disliked them. After all, they were all his grandsons.
Isabella could tell that Charlie was in a dilemma. He didn’t want to shut his two grandsons out and didn’t want to provoke Joseph. He looked embarrassed. Since Joseph didn’t say anything, he didn’t know if he should let Andrew and Andy in.
Isabella thought for a moment and pulled Joseph to persuade him in a low voice, “Andrew and Andy are different from Uncle Michael. They didn’t provoke you that night. Moreover, they are here to visit Charlie. Please give Charlie some respect. Look at him, he is in a difficult position.”
Joseph said in disdain, “Fish begins to stink at the head. Do you think they are easy to deal with? I have never liked them.”
Isabella pouted. “But they saved my life once.” Then, she winked at Joseph and said, “For the sake of the festival, for the sake that I can still see you, let them in once.”
Joseph was silent for a while. He had some more food before saying sourly, “William, let them in. Let them go immediately after giving the gifts.”
William was stunned and overjoyed. “Yes, I’ll tell them!”
Charlie was even more excited. “Joseph...”
“I just want you to be happy.”
Joseph lowered his eyes and said lightly, “I hope you can live a long and healthy life, and then help Isabella and I take care of our children in the future, so I hope you can be happy every day.”
Charlie immediately laughed happily. “No problem! No matter how many children will you have, I will live for a few more years and I promise to teach them into excellent children!”
Isabella followed, “That’s great. You are much better at teaching children that I. Don’t be impatient in the future.”
“I definitely won’t! I can’t wait anymore!”
Charlie smiled and put down his bowl. He let Angelina help him to the entrance of the living room to welcome his two little grandsons. In an instant, only Joseph and Isabella were left in the dining room.
Seeing that everyone had left, Isabella reached out to hold Joseph’s waist. Looking at his cold face, she whispered, “Are you unhappy?”
“No.” Joseph continued eating with a cold expression.
“But you look bad...”
Isabella thought about it and felt a little guilty. ” ... Should I not interfere in this matter? After all, there are many things in your family that I am not very clear about...”
