Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 514

Chapter 514 Respect Each Other

Hank had never been snubbed like this since his career took off. In the entire Jones family, he was the

only one who seemed out of place. Even when Sister Zhang watched him stand there in the kitchen,

she felt a little lonely and even a little sympathetic for him. “Sir, why don’t you come to the kitchen and

do something? In this way, Miss Jones and the others might understand you.” Sister Zhang did not

have any better ideas. “It’s fine.” Hank placed the purchase contract on the wine cabinet and walked

towards them. In front of the French window in the living room. Rae hugged Ni’er while Xuanze and

Lyra sat at the side and drank tea. They really looked like a happy and harmonious family. He was both

envious and helpless when he saw it. Lyra had noticed his gaze since the beginning, but she did not

understand why Hank refused to leave. He could ask Keith to send the purchase contract, but he had

to come here. Thinking of what he had said before, Lyra couldn’t help but frown. Rae glanced at their

expressions and directly carried Ni’er to Lyra’s side. She said in a particularly gentle voice, “Ni’er, do

you like Auntie Jones?” “Of course,” Ni’er nodded with a smile. “Then do you want Auntie Jones to

accompany you every day?” “I hope so!” Ni’er continued to nod. She hugged Lyra tightly with her small

hands and refused to let go. Xuanze stood aside and smiled gently. In the entire living room, only Hank

had a cold look on his face.

However, when he gave this little girl a lesson before, they had a very unpleasant quarrel.

He did not want to make the same mistake again.

It just so happened that the doll that Ni’er had been holding in her hand had fallen to the ground. “I will

help you pick it up.” Hank immediately stepped forward. His face, which rarely appeared to be smiling,

became a little softer. He reached out and handed the doll to Ni’er. He also said, “There are freshly

made strawberry egg tarts in the kitchen. Do you want to eat them?”

For a moment, the eyes of the three adults fell on him. Even Lyra was surprised. Was this man in front

of her really Hank? He had always been serious, unsmiling, and even rarely interacted with children.

But at this moment, he was actually willing to lower his head and pick up toys for Ni’er. Hank made Lyra

feel so strange that she even doubted if the scene in front of her was an illusion.

Rae was the first to react. She said with a smile in front of Ni’er, “Sister Zhang’s cooking is very good. I

suggest that you all try it. I’ll go first.” She got up first and run to the kitchen. Then it was Ni’er. When This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Ni’er stood up, Xuanze naturally followed her. When Lyra. wanted to get up, there was a warm palm in

front of her. He smiled and said in a low voice, “Be careful.” Lyra’s eyebrows twitched and she stood up

with her hand on his wrist. “I will take a good look at the contract. If you have something to do, you can

leave first.” No matter how she thought about it, she felt that Hank did not need to stay. Everyone would

feel very awkward.

However, he seemed like a different person. “I have not eaten the food made by Sister Zhang for a long

time. I want to stay and have a taste.”

Since he had already said so, Lyra could not chase him away. She frowned and watched as Hank took

off his coat, then naturally walked into the kitchen to help. “Stop looking. He just wants to show off his

personal charm and outstanding demeanor. That’s all.” Rae walked over to Lyra with a strawberry egg

tart. Lyra’s thoughts were suddenly called back. “Auntie, is egg tarts delicious?” She immediately

looked away and changed the topic. “It’s delicious, but you can’t eat it.”

As soon as Rae finished speaking, Ni’er looked up and said doubtfully, “Why can’t Auntie Jones eat

such delicious egg tarts?” “There is no reason.” Rae looked down at the child beside her. She squatted

down and looked at Ni’er’s little face, then reached out and pinched it. “Just like how I want to pinch

your little face now. There are many things in life that have no reason.” At that moment, Lyra’s gaze fell

on the figure through the kitchen glass.

Everyone seemed to have their own thoughts for this dinner.

However, because Hank’s attitude towards Ni’er had changed greatly, in just a few hours, Ni’er was

actually not afraid of him at all and even took the initiative to talk to him.

Xuanze, who was sitting at the side, did not expect that Ni’er actually liked Hank a little. “Uncle Hank,

do you like to eat this?” Ni’er picked up a piece of carrot with her chopsticks and whispered, “I don’t like

to eat this. Can you help me eat it?” “Of course,” Hank replied. Lyra nudged him with his elbow, but

Hank was unaware of it. He handed his bowl over, and Ni’er happily picked up a piece for him,

muttering, “You’re the one who wants to eat, not me who wants to trade with you.” However, in the next

second, a piece of corn pancake appeared on her plate. There were also some pieces of carrot on it!

“Uncle Hank, didn’t you promise to help me eat the carrot?” Ni’er pouted. “Yes, I have already eaten

your carrot. As a bargaining chip, you have to eat this corn pancake.” Hank regained his usual calm.

Ni’er held her chopsticks with his hand. “But, but you didn’t say it in advance!” She wanted to act

shamelessly. However, Hank only used a glance to make her give up the idea of resisting and going

back on her words. “Before the deal, you should greet all the restrictions and conditions. Now, what is

done cannot be undone. You can’t break the contract. This is the spirit of the contract.”

He raised an eyebrow slightly and said very seriously. On the other side, Rae was eating and asked

casually, “Will she understand if you tell her such profound truths?”

Hank was stunned for two seconds. He only wanted to pay attention to his attitude towards Ni’er, and

he did not think about anything else. He lowered his head and looked at Ni’er’s ignorant eyes. Hank

asked patiently, “Do you still want to continue the exchange?” Xuanze turned his head. His gaze

darkened. Just as he was about to speak, Ni’er took the initiative to hand over the plate. “I’ll trade it with

you.”

Everything was going so smoothly. At this moment, Ni’er was like an adult, bearing the responsibility

she needed to bear, and did not cry or make a fuss. This was something that even Xuanze had not

expected. When Ni’er was full and was taken away by Sister Zhang to play, Xuanze couldn’t help but

glance at Ni’er’s plate. She ate more than usual, and almost ate all the food on her plate.

“I didn’t expect you to be so good at taking care of children.” Rae smiled elegantly. “That’s because I

didn’t treat her as a child. Anyone needs to be respected. I just fully respect her choice.” Hank

responded lightly.
