    Chapter 16 Irwins’ Family Banquet


    The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery w in the night sky at Irwin Family residence.


    After dinner, Mr. Zack Irwin looked down at his children and grandchildren with undisguised joy on his


    face. Each of them had grown up, and one was more outstanding than the other. He was satisfied,


    extremely satisfied.

    Mr. Zack beckoned Jackson toe over. “Jackson,e here and let grandfather have a good look


    at you.”


    Jackson’s grandfather was Mr. Zack’s best friend, and their families had been long-time acquaintances.


    Although Jackson’s grandfather had passed away a long time ago, their rtionship. remained intact


    and strong.


    “Go on,” Flora’s eyes were gentle and lightly patted Jackson.


    “Alright mom.” Jackson stood up and approached Mr. Zack, squatting down on one knee.


    “Grandfather.”


    Mr. Zack was nearly ny years old, but he was in high spirits and didn’t look like someone


    approaching ny. He held Jackson’s hand, looking him up and down then nodded. “Not bad, much


    betterpared to three years ago.”


    Squeezing Jackson’s arm he said, “You’ve gained some muscles. Very good, Bravo!”


    Flora chimed in, “After three years of nurturing, if he hadn’t grown up well, I wouldn’t have let hime


    back.”

    Mr. Zack said solemnly, “That’s right!”


    After conversing with Jackson, the old patriarch looked at Uriah.


    As usual, Uriah remained quiet.


    He hardly spoke.


    “Uriah,e with me to the study room.”


    “Alright.” Uriah put down his coffee cup and walked over, following Mr. Zack upstairs.


    Once the old patriarch went upstairs, everyone engaged in their own conversations. The atmosphere


    was pleasant.


    Jackson looked around and noticed that someone was missing.


    “Mom, didn’t you say Uriah got married? Why haven’t I seen his wife?”

    The two families had a good rtionship and often held family banquets. They would return to the


    ancestral home and gather together for a meal when everyone had time. Due to Jackson’s illness, he


    couldn’te back to join the gathering.


    If Uriah got married, his wife would naturally be present.


    Throughout the evening, Jackson hadn’t seen anyone except Uriah alone.


    Flora’s face changed slightly as she whispered to him, ” Uriah got divorced.”


    Jackson furrowed his brow.


    He remembered his mother telling him that Uriah was very fond of


    his wife, Ms. Alva and insisted on marrying her even though everyone objected because she was an


    ordinary woman from an ipatible background.


    Howe they got divorced so soon?


    Upstairs in the study room, Mr. Zack looked at Uriah. His features resembled Madam Candice Floris,


    but his face resembled his second son. However, his temperament was reminiscent of no one in


    particr.


    ??


    Dominant, assertive, and ruthless. Uriah was skilled at ying the business game and he had never


    once disappointed Mr. Zack.


    However, when it involved a rtionship, it seemed that this grandson of his, was about to stumble.


    Uriah, Grandfather heard some things and would like to ask you a few questions.”


    “Grandfather, please ask.”


    Jackson finished conversing with the elderly in the living room and went outside. The cool breeze


    brushed against him, with the moon hanging from the branches and stars scattered across the sky. It


    was indeed a beautiful night.


    He wondered how Alva was doing.


    Jackson picked up his phone and dialled Alva’s number.


    “Alva, have you eaten?


    “Yes, I have.”


    “Is the food the servant prepared to your liking?”


    “It’s good. I’m not picky.”


    “That’s great.”

    As Uriah came out from the study room, he saw Jackson standing outside making a phone call. There


    was a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with tenderness. All of this was because of the


    person on the other end of the phone whom Jackson was talking to.


    After chatting with Alva for a while, Jackson hung up, turned and walked inside. He wanted to visit Alva.


    As he turned around, he saw someone standing in front of him.


    The smile on Jackson’s face faltered for a moment. He cleared his throat, toned down his smile a bit,


    and walked over.


    In the presence of this stern elderly who rarely smiled, Jackson was respectful.


    “Uriah.”

    “Yes.”


    “Are you feeling better now?”


    “Yes, I am.”


    “That’s great to hear! Take care of yourself and don’t let us worry anymore.”


    “I will.”
