NovelEnglishChapter 554 "Mom, please sign here. I've checked it for you, and the settlement document is all good." "Alright!" With a flourish, Elysia signed her name.
The Bradfords: "..." Their anxiety turned into utter despair! Elliot chuckled as he neatly filed away the settlement document. "Congrats, Mom. You've finally made it; you're a wealthy woman now." The million dollars from Tarquin and that unlimited credit card were nothing.
But this 2% shareholding turned Elysia into a bona fide wealthy woman! Elysia thought Elliot was referring to the million-dollar medical bill and immediately whispered, "Let's keep it low- key." Her eyes curved with joy, her smile almost reaching her ears. She was clearly overjoyed.
In the oddly tense atmosphere of the dining room, she was undoubtedly the happiest.
Only their family of six was joyful, while the rest looked like they had lost all hope! "Let's eat," Gideon said with a dark face, pulling everyone's attention to the Christmas dinner.
He couldn't bear to think about the shares anymore; it made his blood pressure soar! Servants began bringing in the dishes one after another. Gideon shot Tarquin a glare and then focused on Elijah.
He let out a cold huff and signaled to his confidant, who understood and left the room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Bradford family's Christmas dinner was extravagant, with ingredients so fine and dishes prepared by top chefs.
They had Lobster Bisque, Turducken, PrRib, Shrimp Scampi, Clam Chowder, a Seafood Medley, Caesar Salad, and Cornbread.
Not to mention authentic dishes like Southern Fried Chicken, Tex-Mex Stir Fry, Honey Glazed Ham with Papaya, and more.
Elysia, Evan, and Emmett were practically drooling.
They were the little foodies of their family.
Once all the dishes were on the table, Gideon, feeling deflated, rushed through a couple of blessing words and then they began their meal.
Due to his sour mood, many formalities were skipped.
Elysia picked up her fork and first served Emmett sPrRib, then got Evan sShrimp Scampi.
Next, she served Elijah and Elliot sPapaya Chicken and Tofu Casserole.
All their favorite dishes.
"Thanks, Mommy!" The four voices chimed in unison, sounding incredibly cute.
Elysia looked at them, her face blooming with happiness.
She was already blissful with three sons; adding Elijah this year doubled her happiness! It was a joyful year! "Enjoy," she said.
After serving the kids, Elysia realized her favorite Caesar Salad was right in front of her! What a coincidence! She had been craving this dish for so long, even discussing it with the kids on the way here. Delighted, she served herself a portion to savor this earthly delight.
Tarquin glanced at her, discreetly moving his fork away from the m Lobster Bisque in front of him. Only then did the Lazy Susan start to turn.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Bradfords all sneakily glanced at Tarquin.
Tarquin, eating with an air of aloof elegance, ignored them all.
Their gazes then shifted to Elysia.
Unbeknownst to her, the Caesar Salad had been deliberately placed in front of her by Tarquin.
While he seemed to be casually picking at his Lobster Bisque his real intent was to have the Caesar Salad stop in front of Elysia! This subtle yet blatant favoritism had all the women at the table green with envy.
Looking at the men beside them, who were either quietly eating or chatting , it was clear they didn't care as away, it was much! A woman's fate can be so different! Jealousy was an ugly thing! This dinner, akin to a state banquet, left them feeling rather unsettled. Midway through the meal, Elysia's phone suddenly rang.
