At the dinner table, Aaron never spoke and even with his wife, he only voiced a few words. Seeing that the scene was a little stiff, Dora took the initiative to talk with Xiao Tianjian: "Since you were not aware that we are here in Keaton, what brought you here? It's not a very interesting place except for the dwarfs living in the mountains
Xiao Tianjian smiled: "I just left Easton. I planned to visit a friend in Mount Touré and just happen to pa.s.sed here."
Dora's eyes moved. "I wonder if you will pa.s.s by Merton? It happened that a young lady that Aaron knew was going there. Maybe you can... "Before she could finish, Aaron interrupted her: "What Veronica has to do is a private matter, it's not convenient to find someone else to accompany her."
Without waiting for Dora to refute, Xiao Tianjian first said, "Veronica? Is it Sherwin's daughter? I still remember her, quite a little pepper1[although small but not to be messed with]. I wasn't planning on going to Merton but it doesn't matter if I make a little turn." Is Veronica that "ferocious woman" in his granddaughter's mouth who caused his son and daughter in law to quarrel? It seems that my son is quite a father.
Aaron replied dryly, "No need, she has no problem going alone."
Xiao Tianjian is very eager to help but he stopped when he saw his son's face.
When Dora saw the scene froze again, she quickly shifted the conversation: "Father, when you were in Easton, did you happen to visit Elon and his family, how are they? Lilith's younger brother just came here and I heard that she's pregnant again? It's really an event worthy of celebration. "
Xiao Tianjian is also delighted to talk about this: "Yes, they are both very happy and I just sent Bevan back. It's a double happiness.2[Two happy events that come one after the other]"
"Bevan? Do you mean Elon's eldest son? "Dora felt some bitterness in her heart. "I heard that you took the kid away when he was very young and taught him swordsmanship. Surely he is very promising now? "
Xiao Tianjian smiled: "It's still early to say, just how old is he? I wouldn't send him back so soon if it wasn't for his parents and grandmother insisting that he should come back for some n.o.ble education. He has only learned sword technique for six years, which is not really promising, but it is true that he is stronger than the boys of his age. "
Aaron interposed coolly: "That's really great, the disciple of epic hero." He didn't have such a blessing and even brother Elon's sword technique was taught by Uncle Sherwin.
Xiao Tianjian coughed and looks at her granddaughter: "Mina is the food delicious?" Mina was biting her drumstick. Hearing this, she nods and says vaguely, "Delicious. I like drumsticks best." There are not many opportunities to eat so much meat.
Dora opened her eyes wide and scolded her in low voice, "How can you talk while eating? Quickly swallow the food in your mouth and answer grandpa's questions clearly. "
Mina pouted and Xiao Tianjian said: "It doesn't matter, we are all family, and should we care about such things? The child is still young. "Mina heard this and she had a big smile on her face. She also specially handed the other drumstick in her grandpa's plate and asked him to eat it. Xiao Tianjian touched her head lovingly, took a bite a bite from the chicken on her hand and let her continue to eat it.
Dora was about to faint, but she could not blame her father-in-law, so she had to signal her husband to take care of Mina. Aaron just looked at the interaction between her father and daughter and said nothing.
Because he met his son's family by accident, Xiao Tianjian plans to stay for a while. After dinner, Dora arranged a bed in the study for him according to Aaron idea. Xiao Tianjian finally sent Dora away who kept apologizing for the poor reception. He had a headache, why did his son married such a wife. Virtuous is virtuous but she's too long winded.
The next morning Aaron went to Veronica and told her his decision. Veronica raised her eyebrows and said, "Well, without you, I'll just step on Jamal a lot. But the business with the dwarfs will also take a lot of days, you're not afraid that your wife will worry that you'll hook up with little beauties there? "
Aaron couldn't decide whether to cry or laugh: "All right, you need to say less of such things. It will cause trouble again when such matters reached her ears and there's one more thing I needed to tell you." He told her about his father's visit.
Veronica just said, "Oh, it's the epic hero. I dare not ask him to accompany me. As long as he appears, even if he doesn't cause trouble, trouble will automatically come to him. I'm already conspicuous enough and with him, wouldn't it just let other people know that we have a problem?
Her father, Sherwin, was a friend Xiao Tianjian made when he was young and in adventure. He also learned some sword techniques from Sherwin. But after Xiao Tianjian left Easton, several of his close friends were implicated and suffered a lot. Sherwin and his family were one of those implicated and they lived in exile for several years. It was only when the Security Agency employed Sherwin as swordsmanship instructor that their family could live a stable life. Therefore, Veronica had no good feelings for Xiao Tianjian.
Aaron is well aware of the inside story and can only smile bitterly at it but Veronica who saw his smile smirked at him: "But it's a good thing for you. You haven't been with him yet. Although your mouth says of how much you hate him but in fact you're really delighted that he's here, aren't you?"
Aaron was stunned and kept silent.
