Chapter 372: Chapter 386: Proposal Gift (20)

Raymond Thompson didn’t particularly understand what the TV show was about, but he was very interested in the martial arts in it, glancing at Isabel Smith from time to time and asking, "Sister Isabel, what is the Martial Art Sect? What is the Martial Art Sect?"

Even after all these years, Isabel Smith still had a clear memory of Jin Yong’s martial arts novels, so when Raymond Thompson asked, she patiently explained each part to him.

In a sense, Raymond Thompson was like a curious baby, asking one question after another; he was so enthralled that he began to eat his food slower.

Percy Stanton couldn’t help but reprimand his son, "Raymond, eat your food quickly!"

"Oh." Raymond responded, then picked out the shredded carrots from the bowl – food that he didn’t like to eat.

"Raymond, don’t be a picky eater!" Percy Stanton’s voice was cold and stern, adding more severity to his warning.

Raymond pouted, looking somewhat troubled as he stared at the remaining shredded carrots in his bowl.

Even though Isabel Smith was in the habit of defending Raymond, at this point, she sided with Percy Stanton. However, she wasn’t as direct as Percy. Instead, she gently explained the negative effects of being a picky eater to Raymond.

Raymond always listened to Isabel Smith’s opinions. Therefore, without waiting for her to finish speaking, he ate all the shredded carrots in his bowl, appearing especially well-behaved and considerate.

When Isabel saw how happy Raymond was eating, she became happy too, and continued to narrate the origins of the various sects to him.

As for Raymond, he didn’t quite understand what these sects were all about, but he loved listening to Sister Isabel’s stories.

Percy Stanton, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Which sect do you prefer?"

Isabel tilting her head in thought, replied, "I liked many of the sects. Usually, I would favor the sect that the hero hailed from at any given time. But overall, I guess I prefer the Mount Fallen Sect... because I really like Ella Green! However, the Martial Art Sect, the Carefree Sect are also not bad..." She paused and then asked Percy, "What about you?"

Raymond was trying hard to understand, he had no idea what the Mount Fallen Sect, Martial Art Sect, or Carefree Sect were. But seeing Isabel constantly talking to his father, he couldn’t help but interject, eager to maintain his sense of presence in the conversation. He hurriedly said, "Sister Isabel, I prefer the ’Egg Yolk’ Sect."

Percy Stanton: "..."

Isabel Smith: "..."

Raymond noticed the speechless expressions on Percy and Isabel’s faces, blinked in confusion, then quickly attempted to further align himself with Isabel. He put on an ingratiating smile and added, "But Sister Isabel, I like all the sects you like. However, I haven’t eaten any... I’ve only had strawberry Egg Yolk, banana Egg Yolk and cream Egg Yolk."

...

After dinner, Isabel Smith gave the gifts she had bought for Raymond and Percy separately.

Raymond happily opened his own gift, while Percy placed his gift in his pocket.

The three of them grabbed the fireworks they had purchased in advance, went downstairs together, drove to the town square, and set off the fireworks.

With so many people in the square, Percy Stanton, carrying Raymond and leading Isabel Smith, took quite a while to find a large enough spot. Once they found the spot, they arranged the fireworks in a circle, lit them one by one with a match, creating a dazzling spectacle of colors flying up into the sky.

Raymond, unusually excited, pulled Isabel by the hand, looking up at the fireworks and shouting, "Sister Isabel, look, they’re so beautiful!"

Although the fireworks were beautiful, they were fleeting, leaving behind only a few empty tubes on the ground.
