Chapter 1639 Buy Sheila A Gift
Davin nodded and walked to the kitchen. After taking a few steps, he stopped and turned around to look at Juan. âWell, asking me what I want to eat isnât your only intention. Instead, you want me to lend a hand in the kitchen, right?â
Juan replied smilingly, âUncle Davin, youâre a kind person and would always be willing to help others.â
Well, itâs true that Iâm a kind person.
Davin thought he deserved Juanâs compliment.
âI know itâs my virtue, but that doesnât mean I have to help you. How can you ask for help without giving something in return?â
âUncle Davin, what do you mean?â
âWhatâs in it for me?â
âUncle Davin, what do you want?â
Davin took a sideways glance at Juan and said, âDo you even need to ask? Whatâs the most straightforward way to express your gratitude?â
âHmm, should I say thank you?â
âWrong! You should pay me!â
âUncle Davin, why do you need money? Besides, how much money do you expect to get by helping out in the kitchen?â
âWell, Iâm worth at least ten thousand! I think I deserve that much as the appearance fee.â
As Davin was talking, Juan looked upstairs for a while and gave him a look.
Davin frowned and looked in the same direction. The next moment, he saw Sheila standing upstairs and was startled.
Iâm doomed. Judging from what I said, Sheep must suspect that Iâm secretly keeping some money.
Will she punish me after we go home? What should I do?
As soon as a thought flashed through Davinâs mind, he cleared his throat and began to put on a show.
âJuan, please donât feel unhappy because I asked for the appearance fee. I wish to buy Aunt Sheilaâs favorite necklace with ten thousand as Valentineâs Day gift to surprise her. Iâm sure she will be overjoyed once she receives the gift.â
He paused for a while and continued, âYou know, itâs not easy for me. I only wish to make Aunt Sheila happy. As long as she is happy, Iâll feel that my life is full of purposes and meaningsâ¦â
Meanwhile, Juan was amazed by how Davin could talk nonsense righteously.
Uncle Davin is so good at acting accordingly and coaxing a girl! Iâm sure Aunt Sheila loved hearing it.
When Juan looked up, Sheila was already walking down the stairs. Then, she came up to Davin, gazing at him lovingly.
âDavin, is that true? Are you going to give me a surprise during Valentineâs Day?â
Itâs not true! I purposely said so for you to hear it!
Forcing a smile, Davin responded, âSheep, did you hear what I said? My goodness. I wouldnât have said it if I knew you were around.â
Feeling touched, Sheila said, âI understand that you donât want me to know it in advance, for itâs supposed to be a surprise. Anyway, itâs my fault for being so strict with your spending. Iâm giving this card worth three million to you. From now on, you can spend all you want and donât have to worry when you want to buy me a gift!â
Davin felt touched as he stared at the card.
Sheila said this card is worth three million. Besides, I have saved quite a lot from the three hundred million that I got from Desmond. At that moment, Davin couldnât help but feel that he was still wealthy.
âIs this really for me?â
âItâs for you. Take it!â
After Sheila put the card on Davinâs hands generously, he scanned her from head to toe and asked, âAre you sure you wonât regret it?â
âI wonât! From now on, Iâll give you money regularly. However, you must promise me that you wonât recklessly spend the money.â
âI understand. Anyway, no worries. Iâll keep the money that you gave me to buy gifts for you.â
Sheila was satisfied with his reply.
After keeping the card in his pocket, Davin gave Juan a look and walked to the kitchen arrogantly. It was as if Davin had unexpectedly received a huge chunk of money.
Meanwhile, Juan had learned that one ought not to reason with women but make them feel touched.
After all, women are emotional. They are willing to give us everything if they feel touched. That includes their precious money and jewelry. I have to remember the rule once I have a girlfriend.
