Chapter 1118


    Krayden waved his hands. "You''re wee. I’ll go and finish up what I was doing earlier."


    I walked into the bathroom to bathe. My clothes were full of mud and could not be washed here, so I


    merely rinsed them before folding them and putting them into the bag. I nned to wash them after


    I got home.


    When I walked out, Keith looked at me and said, "I''ll make a move first, then, Mrs.


    Grant."


    I nodded. "Thank you."


    You’re wee, Mrs. Grant.


    After Keith left, I nned to go back to work.


    I nned to head straight home after all this was done, but I bumped into Krayden halfway. He said


    with a smile, "Ms. Lane, Keith came and invited us for dinner earlier. Don’t be in a hurry to go back


    first."


    I frowned. "Didn''t we already have lunch together?”


    Krayden chuckled. "Mr. Collins must have invited a few more people. He''s old and usually only


    spends time with his wife, so h e especially likes hanging out with the younger generations because


    it''s livelier."


    If that was the case, then it was understandable.


    I nodded. "Is it the same restaurant as this afternoon?"


    Yes.”


    Krayden pointed to the paper box on the side. "I need to take these boxes to Chester and may have


    to make two trips. Mr. Grant and the rest are at the test site. You can take their carter.”


    I nodded. "Okay."


    "By the way." Krayden suddenly recalled something and said with a smile, "Mr.


    Collins heard that you picked the fruits. He specifically wants you to go over and join them."


    I smiled. "Have you eaten the fruits?"


    Krayden nodded. "Keith gave us a bag full o f it. Besides, we ate a lot when we first got here, so


    don''t worry about us.”

    Krayden then said a few more things before leaving.


    I returned to the test site and went straight to the lounge.


    I had just made it to the lounge when I heardughtering out of the room.


    "You have the gift of the gab, Ms. Mandez. I haven''tughed in a long time," Mr. Collins said with a


    smile.


    "Oh don''t say that, Mr. Collins. It''s our honor as juniors to speak with you. We’re truly lucky to be


    able to cheer you up."


    Elena said those words, making Mr. Collins even happier now.


    There was no denying that Elena truly had the gift of the gab.


    When the conversation stopped, I raised m y hand to knock on the door.


    However, Mr. Collins suddenly said, "Theo, I was lying in the hospital when you and M s. Mandez


    got married back then, so I wasn''t able to attend the wedding."


    Mr. Collins had probably taken something out. He continued, "This is just a token of appreciation


    that I have prepared for you, M s. Mandez. It isn’t expensive, but it’s a gift from my wife. Take it as a


    bted wedding gift from me."


    Elena was a little surprised and nced at Theo, seeking his opinion with her eyes on whether she


    should ept the gift.


    Theo probably did not expect Mr. Collins to give them a present. He was stunned for a moment and


    said, "We appreciate the thought, Mr. Collins, but we can''t ept the gift because it''s from Mrs.


    Collins."


    Seeing that he had refused, Mr. Collins was a little upset. He said, “I''m not giving it to you. It''s for


    your wife. Ms. Mandez should b e the one to decide whether to ept it or not."


    Having said that, he looked at Elena.
