Chapter 931: Chapter 910 The annoying little aunt!
Ah!
Senna Leon had wanted to properly thank Auntie Ivy, at the very least to salvage some face for her in front of Rio Gordon, but unexpectedly, Ivy Aretha straightforwardly refused her request. However, thankfully, it resulted in Rio coming to her house for a meal!
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Senna Leon’s smile returned to her face, and then she followed Bella Gordon straight to the dining room. Although she had braced herself for the opulence of the Gordon family’s home, the actual splendor still left her amazed!
The luxury dining room could be described with the words ’glittering with gold and jade’ without any exaggeration. The extravagantly luxurious tableware was something even she, a proud heiress of a wealthy family, didn’t recognize. The only thing she could identify was the tablecloth made by a famous name in embroidery, still sticking to traditional manual techniques.
My God!
She had always known the Gordons were wealthy, but she hadn’t comprehended the extent of their wealth – a dining room tablecloth made with a famous artisan’s hand-embroidered work, so lifelike and refined, signifying both high-end luxury and discreet opulence with substance!
At that moment, the brightness in Senna Leon’s eyes suddenly dimmed again!
Her family could be considered wealthy in Andras City. If the Gordon family were first-tier wealthy, her family would be ranked fourth or fifth tier. She had always thought of Rio’s high and mighty demeanor at school to be related to his status as the top student and reigning three-time campus heartthrob, but now she realized the truth!
That was not the foundation at all—such a young master naturally emanated aristocracy regardless of being a campus heartthrob or top student!
Compared to the Gordon family, the Leons were significantly behind!
No wonder Rio never showed any interest in her, a modest gem from a lesser household!
Resigned, she refrained from speaking further and simply bowed her head to sip her soup during the meal, too embarrassed to even reach for the dishes. Seeing the young girl’s abused demeanor, Ivy Aretha’s brow furrowed slightly. When she looked at her son, her gaze grew stern, the message quite clear...
"Here, eat this!" Under the formidable influence of his mother, Rio Gordon still served Senna some food. The dish he chose for her, by chance, was her favorite fish. "Go ahead and eat it, my chef’s skills are countless times better than the school cafeteria!"
Seeing that Senna Leon was momentarily stunned, Rio thought she didn’t want to eat and with dissatisfaction added, "Did you think just anyone who wants to eat the fish from my house could have it?"
Senna Leon: "..."
So, she was meant to feel honored, right?
"Alright, alright, I’m eating, I’m eating!"
In her excitement, the young girl eagerly shoved the fish into her mouth, as if afraid she’d miss out on a delicious meal – a hasty decision that led to...
"Cough cough cough cough..."
The fish hadn’t even been tasted before she choked...
"Rio Gordon, didn’t you remove the fish bones for her?"
The first to express alarm was Ivy Aretha. Clearly, the girl sitting beside her had encountered a fish bone.
"I... I..." Rio Gordon was at a loss for words, appalled that someone her age would eat fish without removing the bones first. What he wanted to say was that she was foolish, but seeing her cough so violently that she struggled to catch her breath made him feel as if she were about to suffocate. "I forgot, I’m sorry!"
Never one to apologize to others, he did so for the first time, and that too when he hadn’t even made mistake!
"I’m going to call the family doctor!"
The little girl’s commotion turned the Gordon family upside down!
"Forget calling the family doctor, I think this fish bone is stuck deep, she’ll probably need surgery!" Ivy Aretha stopped Rio Gordon, "Call Uncle Lucas and tell him to stop rolling in bed tonight, we’re bringing Senna to him!"
Ivy Aretha, having raised a child on her own in her early years, was well skilled in these emergencies. Bella Gordon loved fish and had been poked by fish bones several times before. Ivy could usually tell what was going on with just a glance at the tools, and she was surprised that the bone could be lodged so deep. This girl really was too excited, to bite into a fish with such force?
The throat isn’t something to mess around with!
"Mommy, is it really that serious, you’re not scaring me, are you?"
Rio Gordon’s face turned pale with anxiety, his forehead beading with sweat, and the tension in his voice clear, "Mommy, you’re not just trying to scare me, right? She’s had fish bones stuck before, but it was never this serious!"
Senna Leon’s goofy and happy-go-lucky nature was endearing, but also a bit clueless, having choked on fish bones not once or twice but several times. Many were the times in the school cafeteria when he excitedly screamed and thought about rushing over to help, only to witness her getting a fish bone stuck and then immediately abandoning the idea!
"Now you know fear, why didn’t you pick the bones out of the fish earlier? If I were her mommy, I definitely wouldn’t trust you to take care of my daughter!" Ivy, mid-scolding, saw that Michael Gordon had already stood up and made the call, walking towards them to signal they could leave.
"Roy, if you dare to take care of Bianca like this, forget getting engaged – even if you were married, I wouldn’t approve!"
Roy Thompson: "..."
Was this a case of the innocent suffering due to others’ wrongdoing?
"Dad, if you say that, Brother Roy will never let me eat fish again in my lifetime!"
Bella Gordon felt the safest way to prevent choking on fish bones was not to eat fish at all, for no matter how well-prepared, there were always chances of a mistake, and nothing could be foolproof!
"Roy, Rio, you two come with me to Uncle Lucas’s house!"
Michael Gordon looked speechlessly at his precious daughter, "Everyone else, continue with your meal!"
Lucas Sandy, having received the call and just cleaned up his home operating room, which was even more advanced than a hospital’s, was ready when the patient arrived!
Because of his work, Lucas had equipped his villa with a state-of-the-art operating room for family emergencies that were inconvenient to handle at the hospital!
"Yo, it’s not Chani, which girl has managed to get a fish bone lodged deep enough to end up in my operating room?"
Seeing the little girl that Roy Thompson had brought in, even younger than Chani, Lucas expressed surprise, "Roy, is this your little sister? Or perhaps a future mistress?"
Since Senna Leon was in so much pain and Rio Gordon was only sixteen, Roy Thompson, as the future brother-in-law, stepped in to play the hero!
"Shut your mouth!" Michael Gordon replied to him with a stern face, "This is a mess brought upon by Rio!"
Lucas Sandy: "..."
Damn, a sixteen-year-old kid already stirring up romantic debts?
Rio Gordon: "..."
He was really wronged!
