Chapter 141

“Molly, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. I apologize to Molly, okay? Can I give Molly a gift later?”

“Okay, okay…” she sniffled, “Can I pick it myself?” Her choked voice sounded heart-wrenching.

“Of course!”

“Then I forgive Aunt Willette.”

“Thank you, Molly.”

After this incident, it was dinner time and they sat down at the table together.

The dishes tonight were very rich, with several main courses.

“Jesse, do you want some wine?”

“Sure,” Jesse didn’t refuse.

“Vergil, come and eat with us too,” Cade said to Vergil.

“No, thank you. I’ll sit over there and not disturb you guys eating,” Vergil left the table and went to sit on the couch in the living room.

Cade smiled at Jesse and said, “Your assistant looks young but very steady.”

“Well, with him by my side, I feel at ease.”

“Eat whatever you want. Molly and Tavish, eat until you’re full.”

“Got it, thanks, Grandpa Cade,” Molly said sweetly, even a cunning person like Cade couldn’t help but like her.

The atmosphere at the table was harmonious, as Jesse was always expressionless, and everyone was used to it.

“Jesse, how’s the wine?”

“It’s mellow and has a sweet aftertaste. I don’t think I’ll get a headache even if I drink too much,” he took a sip, his throat muscles contracting, connecting with his jawline. Even though Willette already knew Jesse wasn’t interested in her, she still couldn’t help but swallow, his sexy throat muscles making her blush. What a pity.

“Not bad. If you like it, take some back with you,” Cade said.

“Okay.”

After hesitating for a moment, Cade said, “Jesse, don’t blame me for bringing this up, but I’m also thinking about Nydia’s future.”

Nydia’s movement of picking up food paused, she knew what Cade was going to say.

As expected!

“Can your legs still be treated? Do you have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of your life?”

“Cade, how could you…” Laura disagreed and tried to stop him, but it was too late now that the words were out.

“I know what to do. Jesse, don’t get angry, there are some things we have to face, right?”

“It’s okay if it can’t be treated. You have a successful career and a happy family with your children. That’s what’s important.”

Nydia was observing Jesse’s expression the whole time, afraid that he would suddenly get angry. She felt that Cade was doing it on purpose, playing a good scheme. If Jesse got angry, it would prove that he was emotionally unstable. If Jesse didn’t get angry, it would achieve the effect of humiliation.

“You are right. Here is a toast to you,” Jesse picked up his glass and said.

Cade was now Nydia’s legal father, so he naturally held the position of father-in-law.

“That’s right. A harmonious family is more important than anything else.”

“Nydia, don’t keep talking about divorcing Jesse. You won’t find another excellent man like him,” Cade said.

“I know, Uncle.” Nydia said.

At this moment, Molly finished eating and wanted to get down from her position. Nydia then picked her up and squatted down to wipe her mouth. Suddenly, Willette exclaimed, “Nydia, your knees…”
