Chapter 2479: Chapter 185: The Wallace Family Can Only Watch Helplessly
Play, for a few days...
Is it really okay for David Redington to say he wants to ’play’ with Little Xavier in such a cold manner?
Leslie Howard’s beautiful, slender eyes narrowed, a look of disapproval flashing across them. How could they speak of their Xavier like this?
Over there, Mrs. Wallace and Bruce Wallace were busy nodding incessantly.
"Oh yes, oh yes, Mr. Redington willing to be close to Xavier is his fortune. If Mr. Redington, a young talent, is willing to offer Xavier some guidance, it’s his luck."
"We will fully cooperate with your marriage to Leslie, Mr. Redington. Just focus on nurturing your feelings with Leslie."
Mrs. Wallace had just offended Duke Redington, so using Xavier to salvage some impression points at this moment was something she wouldn’t refuse.
Moreover, Xavier, as the Wallace family’s only boy, if he could receive David Redington’s care in the future, his prospects would be boundless.
And the Wallace family could follow and rise even higher.
Leslie originally thought that the Wallace family would definitely not agree to let Xavier go with her.
Mrs. Wallace was usually very strict with Xavier, practically handling everything herself, as if Xavier would be infected if he got too close to her.
Guarding against her getting near Xavier as if defending against a thief.
Unexpectedly, the grandmother who valued Xavier so much typically, in the face of interests, could be this straightforward.
It seems... she really underestimated the greed of the Wallace family and overestimated Mrs. Wallace’s affection for Xavier.
"Since everything is settled, we’ll take our leave first." David said, standing up.
He held Xavier with one hand and Leslie with the other.
Showing no intention of staying for dinner with everyone.
Duke Redington, who was still distressed that he couldn’t give away his Loving Wife meeting gift, stood up first upon hearing this: "Why leaving? Dinner hasn’t been eaten yet. You must at least have a meal with your future in-laws before leaving... don’t you know the rules."
Sir appears to be standing up for the Wallace family, but in truth, he just wanted to keep Leslie there and find an opportunity to give her the diamond ring.
If this meeting gift couldn’t be given away, he feared when he returned home, Sylvia wouldn’t let him into the bedroom.
However, no one knows a father better than his son.
David glanced coldly at Sir, ignored him completely, and dragged Leslie’s hand towards the door.
Ken Redington’s brows furrowed tighter, afraid he wouldn’t complete his task. He quickly stepped forward and stuffed the small velvet box into Leslie’s hand: "Leslie, take this. It’s the meeting gift from your mother..."
Sir had never known it could be so hard to give a gift.
Just because his Loving Wife prepared a diamond ring, his son got jealous.
Instead, it left him caught in the middle, neither here nor there.
"Thank you, Uncle, I..." Leslie didn’t dare accept it.
David’s big hand at her waist suddenly tightened, forcing her to move forward, barely managing to hold the gift Sir tried to give.
Before she finished speaking, David directly pulled her into his embrace.
And Little Xavier was put down.
"Walk on your own." He said to Xavier.
Then, David scooped Leslie up horizontally, with a cold face, and walked out quickly.
The little boy followed beside David, his hand tugging at the hem of David’s suit, just like a little follower.
He actually couldn’t give it away!!!
Now, Ken truly accepted it, watching helplessly as his son carried his daughter-in-law away.
And behind Sir, including Mrs. Wallace, all the Wallace family members gazed wide-eyed at the unsent gift in his hand.
That was "Josephine’s Love"!
Such precious jewelry, which they wanted but couldn’t obtain, yet Leslie could get so easily but did not cherish!
