Chapter 497
Lucas came to the old Mr. Hawk with Evelyn. At this time, a close friend of the old Mr. Hawk was there.
The man was about the age of the old Mr. Hawk. Although the years had made a mark on him, he was in fine fig. He was as wise as the old Mr. Hawk and had the temperament of a great Confucian. Beside the old man, there was a young girl who dressed in a light blue dress. A proper smile was on her delicate face. She behaved gracefully and looked like a cultured lady.
Evelyn can't help but admire this perfect woman.
"Grandpa."
Lucas and Evelyn called the old Mr. Hawk. "Here you are."
The old Mr. Hawk saw the two men, and the smile on his face was more sincere. He pointed to the old man and the young lady in front of him and said, "this is the old Mr. Zhong. This is his granddaughter, Zhong Lingxiu. They came back from abroad to celebrate my birthday."
"The old Mr. Zhong, Miss Zhong, nice to me you."
Lucas and Evelyn nodded and greeted.
Zhong Lingxiu chuckled, "Nice to meet you."
The old Mr. Zhong nodded with a smile and looked at Lucas and Evelyn at the same time. He had an undisguised appreciation for Lucas, who was very handsome. "The younger generation will surpass the older. No wonder you are always proud in front of me." The old Mr. Hawk laughed, "My proud is not Lucas."
Just then, Sophia came with Devin, "isn't this Lingxiu? I haven't seen you for several years. You are more beautiful."
Sophia went to Zhong Lingxiu's side and looked at her up and down. She liked her.
"Sophia is still beautiful and charming."
"You are sweeter than before."
The lady covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled.
They chatted for a while, and the birthday party began.
The host enlivened the atmosphere on the stage, and let the old Mr. Hawk give a speech on the stage. Then the party went to the gift giving link.
Sophia took Devin and sent a valuable dragon jade carving. The delicate carving was vivid under the light, as if it were real.
"Dad, I wish you happiness and longevity."
"Well, thank you. I love it."
The old Mr. Hawk laughed and asked the housekeeper to put away the present.
Lucas and Evelyn were the next.
"Happy Birthday Grandpa."
Evelyn and Lucas wished together, and Lucas gave him a gift - a pair of ancient calligraphy and painting.
"This is master Chen Ming's work the Rising Sun, right?"
Among the guests, some people recognized the origin of this work and shouted loudly.
"It's really the Rising Sun. Before, my father wanted to spend a lot of money to collect it, but he didn't get any news. He thought it was disappear. It is collected by the young Mr. Hawk." "My father also wanted to keep it."
The old Mr. Hawk listened to the comments around him, and he was full of affection and excitement.
He observed this work carefully, and couldn't help controlling his excitement. "OK, OK, thank you Lucas very much."
"You are welcome. I only hope grandpa like it."
The old Mr. Hawk nodded with a red face and said, "steward, take it and let people mount it carefully and hang it in my study."
The housekeeper took the order and turned away.
Lucas also planed to take Evelyn back to one side. At this time, the voice of Sophia sounded.
"Nora, what about your gift?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at Evelyn.
"Is this the granddaughter-in-law? How can she be so ignorant? She hasn't even prepared a gift."
"I don't know. I heard that the granddaughter-in-law was chosen by the old Mr. Hawk."
"It seems that there are times when The old Mr. Hawk has lost his sight."
There was a lot of discussion all around. The face of the old Mr. Hawk sank. It was the same with Lucas.
Evelyn looked embarrassed,"I......"
Just as she was going to explain, the old Mr. Hawk said: "who said Nora didn't prepare a gift? Today's Chinese clothes are made by Nora."
And when he had finished, he showed off his clothes to all.
"Ha ha, I see. No wonder you show me your clothes today."
The old Mr. Zhong rescued them from a siege. As soon as he said this, the people who came to celebrate also followed him.
"Young lady is very handy and smart."
"Yes, it's a lucky to be the old Mr. Hawk."
"Yes."Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The atmosphere of the party revived and the old Mr. Hawk relaxed.
He looked at Sophia with warning and motioned to Lucas to take Evelyn back to one side.
Evelyn followed Lucas to leave, stood beside and breathed softly.
Fortunately, she had prepared a gift for the old Mr. Hawk out of her own willing at the beginning, otherwise, she was afraid it wouldn't end well today. She looked at Sophia a little tired, and decided to stay with Lucas cleverly all night.
Later, after the gift, it was time for the ball.
Lucas and Evelyn were asked by the old Mr. Hawk to dance the opening dance.
Two people hand in hand to approach the dance floor. The combination of handsome man and beautiful woman caught everyone's eyes in an instant.
The mellow slow waltz sounded. From slow to fast, Lucas led Evelyn to dance and rotate, and the white skirt rippled in circles.
At the end of the song, the two people were standing in the middle of the dance floor. Their eyes intertwined in the air.
It took a while for everyone to collect themselves from the visual feast and they applauded.
"Another one?"
Lucas held Evelyn's hand tightly, making the girl in his arms more close to himself.
Evelyn bowed her head in shame, but did not refuse.
They danced two more times. Lucas left the dance floor with Evelyn.
"I'll go to the restroom."
After dancing, Evelyn wanted to go to the restroom to tidy up herself.
In the restroom, Evelyn made up and was ready to go out.
At this time, the restroom door was suddenly opened from outside and a person rushed in. He controlled Evelyn quickly.
"Who are you?!"
Evelyn was caught and questioned in panic. She thought he had been kidnapped.
"Miss Davis, we are sent by Mr.Davis. There is something wrong with Mr.Davis. You need to go there now."
The visitor quickly identified himself.
Evelyn responded with a sigh of relief. At the same time, she couldn't help being embarrassed and said: "what's wrong with John? Now it's time for the birthday party. I can't leave at all." "Miss Davis, you must go."
The man finished saying, and forced Evelyn to leave.
Evelyn thought subconsciously it was not right. She wanted to struggle for help, but her mouth was covered by this subordinate at once.
"Hmmm......"
Evelyn glared at the subordinate angrily. Her eyes seemed to have fire.
The subordinate was indifferent and took her out of the house with the cooperation of others.
Evelyn looked Hawk family at the distance, and somehow a thick uneasiness was in her heart. She always felt that there would be great changes in her departure this time.
