Chapter 374
Although lunch was home-cooked food, the dishes were all scrumptious. Besides, there were a variety
of dishes served.
Not only was the table filled with appetizers and main dishes, but there was also a bottle of ke''s
favorite tequ.
Cayden got to know about ke''s hobby through Avery. Before he went over, he went out of his way to
buy a bottle of tequ.
Avery only sat down next to Cayden after bringing thest dish, a bowl of soup, to the table.
While serving ke some soup, Avery said, “Grandpa, these are the dishes I learned to make recently.
Please have a taste. I hope you like them.”
Most of the dishes on the table were ke''s favorites, while a couple of dishes were to Cayden''s liking.
ke then patted Cayden on the shoulder and praised Avery, saying, “My granddaughter isn''t too bad,
right? Look at the dishes she prepared. Not only do they look nice, but they also taste delicious! In fact,
the smell alone is making me hungry! You''re definitely not going to regret marrying Ery. Ery has always
been sensible and obedient. Her only w is that she''s too passive. Even if someone were to wrong
her, she would still keep her mouth shut. Cayden, you''d better not bully my granddaughter!”
ke had met Cayden before, and that wasn''t the first time they interacted with each other. Therefore,
ke knew Cayden was the boss of a multinationalpany. Although Cayden was from a wealthy
family, he wasn''t as arrogant and vain as those typical rich kids. Instead, Cayden was polite and
respectful. That was why ke had a good impression of Cayden.
However, ke was still a little worried. Although my granddaughter is amazing, this excellent young
man has an extraordinary family background. Meanwhile, we''re not a wealthy family, and my
granddaughter has to take care of me. What if the Moore family bullies Ery because of this?
Sitting there with his tall and muscr figure, Cayden looked incredibly elegant. He calmly held Avery''s
hand and teased, “Don''t worry, Grandpa. Ery holds the most power at home. Normally, she''s the one
bullying me. Besides, why would I do that? I have nothing but love for her!”
“Goodd! Come on. Let''s have a couple of drinks!” ke said.
ke was in good spirits that day. After having a few drinks with Cayden, his wrinkly face was glowing.
Nheless, he got a little tipsy.
Seeing that, Avery tried to snatch ke''s ss away. “Grandpa, a person your age shouldn''t be
drinking too much.”
ke shot Avery a grumpy look and replied, “Let me be, will you? I''m having a good time. After all, I
know my body better than you, and I can hold my liquor, okay? I''m going to have a few more with
Cayden.”
Alina was busy serving food to the twins when she heard that. She couldn''t help but frown and say,
“Dad, I know you''re having a good time, but you shouldn''t drink so much. When I brought you to the
doctor for a medical checkup that day, the doctor advised you to quit drinking, didn''t he? If you don''t
stop, you''re going to trouble Ery again because she will need to take care of you when you end up in a
hospital.”
ke mmed his ss onto the table when he heard what his daughter said.
He then threw a tantrum with a solemn expression. “I''m not drinking anymore! What''s so wrong with me
having a few drinks? I''m just happy Cayden is here.”

Avery sighed and felt helpless. At the same time, she was rather amused. What can I do? My grandpa
is an alcoholic!
The twins were staring at their grumpy great-grandfather in bafflement. Their jaws dropped, and they
even forgot to chew the food in their mouths. When Great-grandad is angry, he looks exactly like Great-
grandpa! Great-grandpa has high blood pressure, so he isn''t supposed to eat oily or spicy food.
However, he''s too in love with meat! Great-grandpa had the same funny facial expression as Great-
grandad when Daddy restricted his diet.
Cayden knew exactly what to do with old people like ke. After all, if Cayden could handle Jeffrey, he
would have no problem handling ke.
Suddenly, Cayden put his ss on the table elegantly.
He then smiled and uttered in a gentle tone, “Grandpa, I''ve already had a few drinks with my clients
before I came over. I think the tequ is too strong for me, and I''m having trouble staying sober. Why
don''t we drink some other day? By the way, I have a few bottles of wine at home. Not only are they
tasty, but they''re also good for your health. So even if you have a whole bottle to yourself, it''ll be all
right. Unfortunately, I was in a rush, and I forgot to bring them here. I''ll bring you some when Ie
over next time. We''ll continue drinking then, okay?”
ke''s frown loosened up when Cayden eased the tension in the room.
Moreover, his eyes lit up instantly when he heard about the wine Cayden was talking about. “Sure!
We''ll continue drinking next time!”
The family had a pleasant lunch afterward.
From time to time, Cayden would chat with ke, and at the same time, Cayden had to deal with the
slightly sensitive questions Alina threw at him. All in all, he handled them quite well.
Cayden had always been ineloquent whenever he dealt with strangers. However, ke wasn''t like the
people Cayden had to deal with regrly. ke was friendly and kind. Truth be told, Cayden had never
experienced the same kind of loving and heartwarming atmosphere in the Moore residence.
Needless to say, Cayden felt veryfortable, and he was eager to get along with them.
During lunch, Cayden would keep serving Avery food, and he ended up piling up her te. “Ery, you''re
too skinny. You ought to eat more...” Whenever he said that, his eyes were filled with love and affection.
ke and Alina noticed how natural Cayden looked when he served Avery food. It was as if he had
done it a million times before.
Having experienced a lifetime of ups and downs, ke could tell that Cayden''s feelings toward Avery
were sincere.
As for Alina, she was initially worried about Avery and had thought a wealthy heir like Cayden wouldn''t
be themitted and sincere type. Judging from his performance today, I can see that this man truly
loves Avery. However, I wouldn''t make a hasty assessment of him. Men''s love for women could be
deceiving. In my case, my man used to love me so dearly that every woman in Jetroina would be
jealous of me. Once the love faded, he didn''t care about me anymore, regardless of how much I
begged and gave in to him. I hope the kind and gentle Avery wouldn''t end up like me.
After lunch, Avery helped Alina with the dishes while Cayden yed chess with ke.
That night, Avery and her family stayed at ke''s, and they had a lovely dinner together.
Although Cayden and ke were two generations apart, Cayden managed to get into ke''s good
books with his high emotional intelligence. Even Alina, who was doubtful of Cayden, ended up admiring
his personality. Deep down, Alina was happy with Avery''s choice of being with Cayden.
Early the next morning, Cayden had something to deal with at work, so he had to rush back to the
office. Avery also needed to head toward the hospital to take care of Nina.
ke was reluctant to watch them leave, but he knew they had things to attend to. Hence, he had no
choice but to see them out.
Before they left, ke suddenly whipped out a mary gift and gave it to Cayden. “Take this.
ording to our family''s tradition, the grandparents must give their granddaughters'' husbands a
mary gift. This is my blessing for you guys. Hence, you must take it.”
Cayden was stumped. Having been in the business industry for many years, my social circle is filled
with high-ranking and powerful people. I''ve met all kinds of people prior to this. Some were greedy,
some were fake, and some of them were cunning. Despite their differences, they had one thing in<pmon. All they ever wanted was my money. In fact, I''ve been giving out money all my life. No one
has ever given me a mary gift...
