Chapter 1465: Chapter 1465: Will You Keep Hiding Like This?
However, Jordan Thompson stepped forward and pinched Hank Thompson’s little cheek, shaking his head as he said:
"Alright, I’ve been saying that we’ve played games for almost half the day, it’s time to take a break."
After saying this, Jordan stretched lazily and then rubbed his neck, speaking to Charlotte Thompson: "Sis, would you say I’ve completed my task perfectly today?"
"Thank you for your help." Charlotte also stood up and nodded towards Jordan.
"Are you planning to go straight back to Grandpa’s later?"
But upon hearing Charlotte’s inquiry, Jordan immediately shook his head, turning into a human rattle.
"How could I? Mr. Thompson still looks angry when he sees me; why would I go back to provoke him?" Jordan shrugged his shoulders.
Upon hearing this, Charlotte frowned.
"Are you planning to just keep avoiding him like this?"
For a long time, there have been small frictions between Mr. Thompson and Jordan, and their last argument was naturally the peak of accumulated conflict.
So, to avoid upsetting Mr. Thompson, Jordan has been hiding from him these past few days.
But ultimately, this is not a long-term solution.
"Otherwise, what could I do? With Mr. Thompson’s stubbornness, even ten oxen couldn’t bring him back. When he sees me now, everything seems wrong to him; going back would be seeking my own grave."
Although Jordan said this on the surface, Charlotte could discern something through his expression.
Stubbornness isn’t just a trait of Mr. Thompson; Jordan isn’t much better either.
But given their situation, Charlotte didn’t know what to say, only trying her best to persuade.
"Don’t think like that, Grandpa might be waiting for you to go back and explain things."
Upon hearing this, Jordan smiled lightly at Charlotte and finally shook his head, speaking in a relaxed tone: "Got it, sis, I know what I’m doing."
"Alright, I’ll take my leave first."
He then waved goodbye to the kids and headed towards the door.
"Goodbye, Uncle!" The kids obediently said goodbye, and Hank added after the farewell:
"Uncle, next time when you visit, I’ll definitely beat you!"
Watching Jordan’s departing figure, Charlotte couldn’t help but sigh lightly, fearing what might happen if this continued.
Charlotte secretly planned to find a time to discuss with Henry Thompson about the issues between Jordan and Mr. Thompson.
"Mommy, did you go to the auction today? Was there anything fun?"
Grace Thompson tugged at Charlotte’s skirt, her childlike voice pulling Charlotte’s gaze towards her.
She flicked Grace’s little nose and laughed: "Didn’t expect you to be so well-informed."
"Of course." Grace nodded proudly.
"Was the party fun?"
Not only Grace but the other kids were curious too, so Charlotte decided to share some anecdotes from the party and auction with them.
The kids listened intently and even took a look at the brooch Charlotte had bought.
However, by the time Charlotte returned, it was already late, and the kids were ready for bed, so Charlotte told them about the party as their bedtime story.
