Chapter 1662

Kelly had a townhouse villa at the center of Mordu. Even though the villa was a bit dilapidated, its location was quite good. There were courtyards in front and behind of the villa, as well as a designated parking spot. The villa had cost Kelly millions of dollars. This was enough to prove that Kelly was doing pretty well for himself, and that he was quite willing to do some lavish spending at times. “You’re here, Harvey?” When Harvey pressed the doorbell, Kelly appeared with a smile and escorted Harvey into the living room. “Honestly, why are you being so polite around me? You even brought gifts!” As he spoke, Kelly nonchalantly placed the gift box on the tea table. He flashed Harvey a warm, paternal smile. “June, Hazel. Since Harvey’s here now, cook a few more dishes for him.” June, who seemed quite busy, walked past Harvey with Hazel. They glanced at Harvey, who was playing with his phone on the couch. When they looked at him, their gaze turned disdainful. They then turned their eyes on the slightly worn gift box Harvey had bought, and snickered. ‘As expected from a country bumpkin. Even the gifts that he bought are defective. He doesn’t seem to have any money on him, anyway.’ Harvey couldn’t do much about the box. Someone had crushed it when Timothy blocked his path earlier. Unfortunately, he only realized the box’s pitiful state when he arrived at Kelly’s villa. Ignoring June and Hazel’s cold gaze, Harvey greeted his uncle with a warm smile of his own. “Uncle Malone, Aunty, Hazel.” “Mmm.” June nodded without replying. There wasn’t even a smile on her face. She turned away from Harvey and said coldly to her husband, “My parents will be here tonight, so get them a guest room to stay in.” “Remember, they prefer a quiet place. Since they’re coming, we shouldn't have any outsiders in the house.” “Your old man’s coming?” Kelly froze slightly . His parents-in-law were lower officials working for the government. They enjoyed buying and selling antiques in Antique City. They often traded and made deals with their associates from the government as well. After they retired, their temper and arrogance honed from their working days remained. June wasn’t pulling his leg. She was telling the truth: her parents preferred quiet places. Kelly wanted Harvey to stay in the villa for a few days, but now, his parents-in-law were about to visit… Kelly immediately understood what happened when he looked at June’s cold expression. She had purposefully invited her parents to prevent Harvey from staying with the family and getting closer to Hazel. The fact upset him somewhat, but he took a deep breath to suppress his anger. Since his parents-in-law were involved, he had to restrain himself. He could only say helplessly, “I got it already. Hurry up and cook the dishes. Harvey’s starving!” Harvey had come all the way to Mordu. Kelly felt that it wouldn’t be fair if he didn’t even let Harvey stay for the night. “I’m making chicken stew with mushrooms! There’s no way I can finish so quickly!” “Also, didn’t he bring some tea leaves? Bring them in, I’m going to use them!” Kelly then helplessly replied, “Alright, alright, alright.” He then carried the Black Tea into the kitchen. Before that, he turned to Hazel. “Hazel, you should go talk to Harvey. Weren't you two childhood sweethearts before? Where’s your hospitality?” Hazel, who was playing with her phone, replied impatiently, “I got it already! So annoying!” Harvey chuckled. “Thank you, Uncle Malone. I can take care of myself.” Seeing Harvey trying to please others with his smile, Hazel’s disdain for Harvey intensified. She felt that Harvey was there to suck up to her father to get whatever he wanted. Hazel scoffed and ignored Harvey. “I don’t know what to talk to you about, Harvey. I won’t bother you from watching the television. I’m going back to livestreaming.”
