Chapter 292: Chapter 291

When were there gifts too!

How come he didn’t know!

Edwin Blake nodded, slowly putting a bite of food into his mouth, "You didn’t forget, did you? Emmy will be sad if you forgot."

Before Alexander Hodges could react.

Emmy exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle Hodges, what have you prepared for me! Is it my favorite Winnie the Pooh? I super like it!"

Alexander Hodges responded awkwardly, "Yes, yes, Uncle custom-ordered it from a toy company for you, but the finished product isn’t ready yet. Once it’s done, Uncle will bring it back for you, okay?"

"Yay, yay! What about brother? And Mommy, you haven’t forgotten to prepare something for them, have you?"

Alexander Hodges could only tough it out, "There’s something for your brother too, the latest model of the computer. It’ll be sent over with your toy later, is that alright?"

Emmy nodded excitedly, "Great! Uncle, you don’t need to give anything to Mommy; you’ve already given her so much money! Hehe, I’m so happy, brother, are you happy?"

Fatty spoke blandly, "Just so-so, if this annoying person wasn’t at the table, I think I’d be happier."

Edwin Blake directly said, "That’s not going to happen, being able to get you a computer is already good enough."

"Tch~" Fatty snorted coldly, burying his head and continuing to eat without speaking.

Alexander Hodges felt the ache only increase.

He glared at Edwin Blake.

Only to see the perpetrator return his gaze with a smug smile.

Seeing this, Alexander Hodges became even angrier!

He directly said, "Sis-in-law, how is your cooking so good, this bowl of egg noodles is really delicious, not greasy at all, unlike someone, when you just left..."

"Alexander Hodges, if eating can’t shut your mouth, then I will personally shut it for you."

"No, brother, I’m wrong!"

Alexander Hodges quickly started apologizing.

Damn.

Spent the whole day doing nothing but apologizing here!

Edwin Blake said blandly, "Give me a bowl of egg noodles."

"Okay, you can eat this, brother, once you take a bite, you can’t speak, it’s really tasty, just like the taste before."

Alexander Hodges explained while serving.

Ivy River couldn’t stand it, "Alexander Hodges, if you keep talking so much, I won’t mind asking you to leave my home."

"Sis-in-law!"

"I’ll pack some food I made for you, so you can at least taste my cooking."

Alexander Hodges immediately showed his good sense, "Sis-in-law, I’ll stop talking, please rest assured."

"Good boy, if you’re not good, I’ll make you all leave my home together."

Alexander Hodges nodded repeatedly, letting out a long sigh from within:

Ah, if it wasn’t for her good cooking, he would have left a long time ago!

The first to finish was Ivy River. She pushed her bowl and stood up, "I’m done eating. Whoever’s last to finish washes the dishes."

Then Fatty directly stood up too, "I’m done eating too."

Emmy grinned widely at Alexander Hodges, "Uncle Hodges, are you halfway full now?"

"Halfway, how come?"

"Good~ then I’m relieved, if you said you’re completely full now, then I wouldn’t hold back!" Emmy said while stuffing a mouthful of rice into her mouth.

Alexander Hodges belatedly reacted, "You’re worried about being the last one to finish eating, aren’t you?"

"You’re so smart, Uncle Hodges, looks like your big head is still of some use."

After saying this, Emmy stopped speaking.

Alexander Hodges puzzledly asked, "But if you’re the last one to finish eating, won’t you be the one to wash the dishes? You’re a child."

Emmy finished the last bite of her rice, standing up, "We don’t distinguish between adults and children in our family, usually if no outsiders are present, my brother washes the dishes when he’s done, but generally if outsiders are present, the last one washes the dishes."

She didn’t really want to admit, her mama is double-standard.

This rule was suddenly set today.

"Alright, go play then."

Alexander Hodges glanced at Edwin Blake’s meal, which was nearing the end, and started quicker.

"Brother, I’m done eating, you wash the dishes later."

Edwin Blake didn’t speak, just gave him a cold glance.

Alexander Hodges immediately started whining, "Sis-in-law, sis-in-law! The rule you set isn’t working; I’m so upset, my brother isn’t going to wash the dishes, clearly he’s the last one!"

Edwin Blake pinched his temples, "Alexander Hodges, if you whine one more time, I’ll make you pay the due price, like returning the five million from earlier."

With just one sentence.

Alexander Hodges shut his mouth immediately, then started collecting the dishes.

Nowadays he was rather poor, smart people make the best decisions, Edwin Blake was a big spender, so exploit when you can!

"Brother, wait here for me for a moment, then we’ll leave together."

Fatty suddenly came out of the room, "Uncle Hodges, my mommy wants you to go into the room for a moment; can you go in?"

"Now?"

Seeing Fatty nod, Alexander Hodges directly followed.

"What’s up, sis-in-law?"

Ivy River directly said, "Give me all the photos taken this afternoon, let me pick through them."

"Okay, I’ll get them for you; I hid the memory card, afraid my brother would look for trouble."

Alexander Hodges carefully took a memory card from his pocket.

Fatty and Emmy stepped forward, "What photos are they, can we look?"

"Children shouldn’t see them; go play outside."

Alexander Hodges worried the photos might hurt the kids’ eyes.

Ivy River explained, "Don’t worry, they won’t be scared; they might even think the photos you took aren’t up to par. These things to them are nothing, isn’t that right, Fatty?"

In response, Fatty spoke a bit shyly, "Hehe, Mommy, don’t say it like that, isn’t the past behind us? Let’s not dig up old bills, not good!"

"What’s the matter?"

Alexander Hodges asked curiously.

"Nothing, let’s see, I’ve copied them, this photo, no good, hasn’t captured Edwin Blake’s Beauty."

Ivy River directly opened the first photo, without even feeling eye-strained.

Fatty saw it and frowned, "Why does he have this disgusting hobby, so gross."

Emmy exclaimed "Eww", directly covering her eyes in disgust, "Who took them, Mommy, did you witness it all? My eyes! Ah! Tainted!"

"Just watch, if you don’t want to see, go outside, why so much chatter?"

Ivy River swiftly flipped through the photos, picking and choosing as she went.

Fatty suddenly remarked, "This photo is good, keep it, later let me photoshop him, he can definitely become a dress-up master."

"This one’s nice too, Mommy; the makeup behind is not bad, quite pretty."

Emmy began her critique as well.

"Not good, I should’ve done it, next time if there’s an event like this, think of me, I can surely make everyone amazed."

"Hahaha, this one is so ugly, definitely keep it as an emoji, hahahaha."

"Alright, next time there’s something like this, I’ll definitely tell you two. Today you were at school, couldn’t make it."

The family of three critiqued enthusiastically, leaving Alexander Hodges stunned.

Turns out not only were they not scared, but they were picky too.

Alexander Hodges muttered, "Take your time, I’ll go out and wash the dishes."

Ivy River didn’t even think, "Wait a bit before you go out, maybe Edwin Blake is washing the dishes."

"What? No way!"

Ivy River pointed to the doorway, "If you don’t believe me, go take a look for yourself."

Alexander Hodges, not believing, headed for the door.

He opened the door and took a look, indeed.

Edwin Blake was wearing an apron, standing at the sink washing dishes.
