Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190 As soon as she heard that there was going to be a feast, Ava knew that her sister was definitely going to cook it herself, so she cheerfully answered yes. Chris made up for his mistake and stayed behind. Hailey, perhaps in a good mood, was being gracious to Chris. “If you can make the old man take a bath and change into clean clothes,

you’ll get your quarterly bonus back this month.” “Got it!” Chris thought to himself that there was nothing difficult about this. He had helped the old people take baths at home many times, and he had plenty of tricks to deal with them. The Garden of Rose had everything, a hot spring, for example, and a sauna. Chris was such a genius. He successfully coaxed Jason to not only take a bath but go to the spa and the sauna. When Jason came out of the sauna, he was dressed in shirt and grey trousers, and he looked fresh and clean. Still, he held the tobacco pipe tight in his hand. “Grandpa.” Ava was serving dishes, and when she saw Jason approaching from afar, she called to him with a smile. “That’s right, how nice it looks to

dress like this.”

Jason hummed lightly and pointed at Chris next to him. “This is the boy who had been pestering me to the spa and sauna, I have never

taken a bath for so long in my life, I almost got soaked.” Chris smiled, saying in his heart, “I’ll get my quarterly bonus if I can get you into baths, I have no choice but to save money for the marriage in the future.” Hailey came out of the kitchen and carried two dishes. When she saw Jason, the corners of her lips curved up. “Feel so nice after the bath, right?” Jason grunted and cooed, “I’m quite comfortable even if I don’t shower.” Not eating anything delicious at the wedding banquet, being hungry all day, and soaking in the bath for half a day, the old man had long

been starving, and he was already drooling at the delicious food he saw. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had the dishes made by my eldest granddaughter, come on, hurry up, where are the forks?” The three young people accompanied the old man to have a few sips of wine after the meal. Austere white wine, which tasted like a knife cutting through the throat, made them blush and their bodies burned up. Ava was a lightweight drinker; she couldn’t hold her liquor and collapsed after drinking half a glass of white wine. Chris asked for Hailey’s permission before he dared to carry her upstairs. Once in the room, Chris put Ava on the bed and just as he was about to take off her shoes, he almost got kicked in the face by Ava. “Phew, don’t kick back.” Ava was lying on the bed, looking drunk and silly. Her face was red, blushing like a flame, looking particularly delightful, and Chris was kind of attracted by her look and couldn’t help but go up and pinch her face. It felt smooth and soft in his hand. But he didn’t expect Ava to be this drunk and still her hands were quite strong. When he pinched her face, she felt a bit of pain and frowned, and then dragged Chris to her front. He was caught off guard and lunged forward, his body pressed down, and his mouth …… just collided with hers like this. Who took advantage of whom exactly?

The only two people left at the dinner table were Hailey and Jason. Hailey was also a lightweight drinker like Ava, and after a few glasses of the white wine, her face also blushed, becoming like a flaming

fire. Jason looked at Hailey, took out an almandine garnet and a carving knife from his smoking bag, and he was able to carve a small figure with the help of the light. A lifelike figurine was done within a few moments. The old man held the carved almandine garnet in his hand and handed it to Hailey. “Ms. Newman, this is a gift from grandpa.” Hailey was just watching her grandfather carving with rapt attention, and her thoughts drifted away for a while, as if she was back in her childhood, sitting on her grandfather’s lap in the dim yellow light, watching him with a carving knife. Pieces of jades were engraved with figurines, landscapes, flowers, birds, fish and so on. That was some fine handiwork. At that time, she felt that jade carving was the most interesting thing in the world, and grandpa was the most powerful jade carving master The old man’s palm, very wide and with thick calluses, made the small figurine in his palm look more and more crystal clear and small. Hailey reached out and took the little statue from his hand, loving it so much that her eyes were hooked on it and couldn’t look away. “Thank you, grandpa.” Jason grinned and laughed. “You little girl, you finally show a smile in front of grandpa.” Hailey held the small statue in her hand and played with it lovingly, but she hummed softly at his words, “Who told you to avoid me and

refused to come in?” Jason sighed lightly. “I’m not used to living in such a nice house.” “Grandpa, this is your home, in your own home, you can do whatever you want, just be yourself, no need to feel uncomfortable or

restrained.” Jason shook his head and took another sip of wine sullenly. “No, this is Scott and Nancy’s home, your home, but not mine. My home is in Algan, not in Poya, but my sons are old enough to have families and businesses, and I’m fine living alone in that small house back home.” Hailey looked at the old man quietly. “The fact that your sons have made their mark means that you have raised them well, so you should be pleased and relieved.” “Well-brought-up? Where?”

Jason smiled mockingly. “If I had raised them well, your father would not have cut off his relationship with me and left his old job to start his own business. Jf I had raised them well, how could I have taught those two little bastards to turn against each other?” Hailey was shocked, both by the fact that his father had broken off his relationship with his grandfather and by his words scolding Uncle Morgan and Uncle Reid. Grandfather really …… knew ….. everything.

Room 77 in The Nomad. Owen Moore came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and heard Matthew Holland sitting in front of the computer lamenting,

“Hailey’s grandfather, he’s a big gun.” With a white towel around his neck, Owen was dressed in casual loungewear, wiping his hair and stepping over to the computer, and his

eyelashes lifted as he saw the biographical information about Jason Newman on the computer screen. Capturing his identity, Owen’s long, raven-feathered – like eyelashes fluttered lightly. Matthew mumbled, “I heard the Newman family was an antique family, and their ancestors were all antique dealers. But later Scott

Newman started his own business and entered the jewellery business, and the original main business became just a hobby to him. I had no idea that this old man, Jason Newman, was not only a great antique artist but also a jade carving master.” He turned his head towards Owen. “Hey, have you heard of the name ‘Jason Newman?” Owen said indifferently, “In the jade carving business, even a three-year-old child would know it.”

Matthew felt looked down on, silently shutting his mouth. “Well, I know very little.” Jason Newman, as an old timer in the business of jade carving, had been out of the game for many years, and his reputation still persisted, but very few people had seen the real person. Owen straightened his lips, wondering if Hailey learned her extraordinary jade carving skills from old man Jason. Sure enough, she learned from the best. A thought suddenly crossed his mind… It would be a worthwhile trip if he could get Jason Newman to help him.
