Chapter 1736
Abby was wearing a short-sleeved western-style dress, and the hemline of this dress was under her
knees, revealing two fair and white calves of her.
Although her dressing style appeared to be simple, she had in fact spent a lot of effort on it. She
didn''t wear any jewelry on purpose, but only a jade bracelet on her wrist, and her makeup was light.
As a result, she looked dignified and elegant today, and elders like Meadow would like such an
appearance.
Meadow was indeed a little surprised.
Why wasn''t she Tina?
When Meadow heard on the phone that Wilson would bring someone home, she subconsciously
thought it must be Tina. Last time, when Meadow met Tina, she very kindly invited thetter to visit
her home someday...
Was she thinking too much? But that day in the restaurant, Meadow had clearly seen that Wilson
and Tina behaved like two lovers.
What''s more, that day was the Chinese Lovers'' Day!
As for Abby, she was the only inheritress of the Amery family. Meadow had met her several times at
different banquets. Moreover, Abby had known Wilson for many years. For this reason, Meadow''s
impression on Abby was good. She thought that Abby always behaved like ady.
However, Meadow was still somewhat disappointed at seeing Abby tonight, because she was
actually expecting to see Tina.
No matter how, Abby was a guest. Meadow went forward and greeted them, and she was smiling
again.
It was a family feast for the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight, and therefore everyone would be
wee.
Wilson never thought about bringing an outsider back home. Even if he had changed his mind and
agreed to Abby s proposal, it was just for the purpose of strategic business cooperation. It didn''t
mean he sincerely thought that Abby was one of his family members.
However, when he finished working overtime and walked out of the office building, he saw that Abby
hade with some gifts in her hands.
Abby told Wilson that she wanted to visit the Chin family with him tonight. She had not seen his
parents, Bemy and Meadow, for so many years, and she wanted to visit them again, and at the
same time convey the good wishes of Bill Amery and his wife to Wilson''s parents.

This was virtually a goodwill from the Amery family to the Chin Family, and Wilson thought that it
would be inappropriate for him to refuse her.
In fact, Abby had her own schemes.
She deeply understood that in Wilson''s eyes, the so- called marriage between the two families on
the basis of business cooperation was not realistic and appealing. What she wanted was to take
advantage of this opportunity to please Wilson''s parents and win their supports.
Trying to be Wilson''s wife step by step, and with smart tactics: This was indeed Abby''s
ultimate goal.
The smile on Abby''s face seemed to have been carved out. She enthusiastically went forward and
greeted Meadow, "Hello, Auntie Chin Happy MidAutumn Festival!"
Meadow nodded with a smile, and then invited Abby into the vi.
In the kitchen, the servants were busy with their work.
Except for Wilson, Bemy and Meadow had other two sons. Adam Chin, who was the oldest, was
unable toe back because he was engaged in a military mission. The youngest, Simon Chin,
seldom came back home with the excuse of being busy in the hospital.
Tonight, the family of Wilson''s little uncle hade over here, and there were many people inside
the vi.
Meadow went to the kitchen to check whether the dinner was well prepared. Wilson''s little uncle and
aunt talked to Bemy and Wilson in the living room. Simon Chin had not arrived yet, while Selene
was in low spirits. Aftering to the vi, she directly locked herself in one of the rooms.
As Abby and Selene had a good personal rtionship, she went into the room and tried to console
thetter.
But it didn''t work.
Selene was so sentimentally attached to Dn that she couldn''t ept anyone''s advice. She was
especially despairing now that she had learned about that Dn was going to marry Tina, which
meant that she had no hope at all. It was such a heavy blow to her mental state.
Abby pretended that she was sincerely consoling Selene. In fact, she was extremely pleased with
the news that Dn was going to marry Tina.
One of the servants knocked on the door to inform everyone that the dinner was about to begin.
Selene was so depressed that she didn''t want to eat dinner. For this reason, Abby went downstairs
alone.
When she passed through the hallway, she was unexpectedly hit on the shoulder by a man who
walked in with his head lowered.
It was impossible for any of the Chin family''s servants to be so rash.
Abby was not annoyed. She simply smiled at the man and said, "Desmond, nice to meet you here."
After leaving Tina, Desmond drove his car directly to the vi of the Chin family. With the lunch box
of porridge in his hand, he walked so hurriedly that he carelessly hit Abby''s shoulder.
When Desmond saw Abby, he was a little surprised. He blurted out subconsciously, "Well... why are
you here?"
But he was so anxious to show off the porridge in front of Wilson that he hurried into the dining hall
before Abby replied.
Abby was left alone on the spot.
Meadow, who happened to be behind Abby, quickly stepped forward and said, "Abby, it doesn''t
matter. Desmond might still be unhappy about what had happened before. He has always been an
unpolite and rude person. Don''t bother about him!"
The entire Chin family knew about the conflict between Wilson and Desmond, while the younger
generation, such as Abby or Selene, also knew something about it.
Meadow misunderstood the situation. She thought that Desmond was rude to Abby because he still
disliked Wilson.
Abby''s smile deepened when she heard Meadow''s words. She shook her head gently and replied,
"It''s okay, Auntie!"
After everyone was seated, the dinner began.
Meadow noticed that the heat-retaining lunchbox ced near Desmond''s hand appeared to be very
prominent as there were a great many neatly-arranged tableware on the table. What''s more,
Desmond behaved as if he really wanted others to find out the secret of the lunchbox.
Meadow smiled and asked, "Desmond, what''s in the lunchbox?"
Desmond raised his eyebrows proudly. "This is a special meal for myself!"
Then, he slowly opened the lid of the lunchbox. The porridge had been contained inside it for a long
time. Under the brightmplight, the inted rice grains were crystal-clear.
Desmond got closer to the lunchbox, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Wow... It smells so good!"
Bemy couldn''t help butugh out loud. "Isn''t this ordinary porridge? I originally thought it must be
some rare delicacy. There are so many dishes on the table tonight, and we have a chef at home. If
you want to eat anything, you can order him to cook for you!"
Desmond retorted, "Uncle, this is quite different! The porridge wasn''t bought from a restaurant, nor
was it cooked by a chef. It was personally made by a friend of mine, and there''s a special meaning
to it!"
Meadow asked with a smile, "What kind of friend? Is it a girl?"
Desmond''s mother, who was sitting nearby, echoed Meadow''s question. "Desmond, have you met
someone you love?"
Even Abby was attracted by this interesting incident.
Desmond pretended to smile mysteriously, but didn''t answer anything.
He scooped the porridge in the lunchbox with a spoon and looked at Wilson, who was sitting
opposite him, with meaningful eye expressions.
Although all his curly hair had beenbed to the back, he still tried to sway them. Then, he looked
at Wilson provocatively and asked deliberately, "Wilson, the porridge tastes really good. Would you
like to try it?"
Surely Wilson could recognize the heat- retaining lunchbox containing the porridge.
He also knew who had made it.
The emotions reflected in Wilson''s eyes and facial features were barely noticeable, and he replied
indifferently, "No!"
Desmond shook his legs, his face full of pride. "Then I can only enjoy it alone!"
Everyone on the scene was amused by Desmond''s strange behavior. None of them could
understand why Desmond treated the ordinary porridge like a treasure.
Wilson drank some water.
Then, he put down the ss in his hand, stood up calmly, and said, "I''m going to the bathroom!"
When passing by Desmond, Wilson raised his arm inadvertently.
The heat- retaining lunchbox ced on the table was knocked down on the floor.
Aside from the spoonful of porridge in Desmond''s hand, the porridge was all poured out on the floor.
Desmond was extremely shocked and annoyed.
Wilson pushed the sses frame with his middle finger, looking apologetic and regretful. "Sorry, I
didn''t see it. What a pity! The porridge can''t be eaten now. I''ll ask the servant to clean it up!"
Desmond was speechless.
