Chapter 661: Happy Chat

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lucas had long expected Clement to call Bruce and Damon to tell them to sever ties with him.

Of course, Clements impatience worsened Lucass impression of him.

“Got it.

Ignore him,” Lucas said indifferently on the phone.

He returned to the party hall and said to Alexis, “Is your grandfather available at the moment Id like to pay him a visit and then return to Orange County.”

Alexis looked at Lucas, reluctant to part ways with him.

“Lucas, are you leaving so soon We have a ball later and some other activities lined up.

Are you not going to stay and join us”

She really couldnt bear to see Lucas leave so soon.

Despite knowing that nothing romantic would come of her interaction with Lucas, she just wanted to look at Lucas for a little longer.

Lucas shook his head.

“No, I came here today to wish you a happy birthday.

Im not interested in other activities.

You can go ahead and have fun with your friends later.”

Hearing this, Alexis couldnt continue trying to make Lucas stay any longer, so she brought him to where Edmund was.

It was an ancient-style building that revealed simplicity and elegance.

After pushing open the door, Lucas was surprised to find that there were no trees and flowers in the garden.

Instead, there were neat rows of all kinds of vegetable and fruit plants.

“Grandpa, look whos here” Alexis said to the elderly man squatting in front of a vegetable patch.

Only after the figure stood up and turned his face around did Lucas realize that the farmer-looking man covered in dirt with mud spots all over his pants was Edmund, the esteemed helmsman of the Cole family.

Lucas was very surprised.

“Lucas You came too” Edmund was just as surprised to see Lucas.

“Mr.

Cole.” Lucas walked up to him and smiled.

“I came today to attend Alexiss birthday party and also visit you.”

“Hahaha, yes, Alexis finally turned twenty today.

I saw those youngsters having fun together, so I didnt join in.

I didnt expect you to still remember me, Lucas! Haha!” Edmund laughed heartily and rubbed his mud-stained fingers on his clothes.

“In that case, give me a moment.

Ill pick some fruits for you to taste the things I planted with my own hands.”

Edmund picked up a small bamboo basket and filled them with a lot of seasonal fruits from his garden.

Seeing how relaxed and happy Edmund was while gardening, Lucas couldnt help feeling a trace of envy.

Enjoying peace and tranquility in a garden was the most holy and ordinary idealistic lifestyle for many people.

Perhaps one day, he and Cheyenne would be able to enjoy a peaceful life like Edmund.

They would tend to the fruits and vegetables in their garden comfortably or bask under the sun on rocking chairs.

To him, this was ultimate bliss.

When Edmund walked out from the garden with a basket full of fruits, Lucas reached out to help him carry the basket and walked to the center of the yard with him and Alexis.

“Alexis, you are the protagonist of todays party.

Quickly go back.

Lucas and I will just talk here,” Edmund said to Alexis.

Alexis pursed her lips.

Although she was slightly reluctant to part with Lucas, she was no longer a child who could behave willfully and presumptuously anymore.

She would indeed be a poor host if she left her guests and friends at her birthday party without entertaining them.

“Okay, Ill go back now.

Lucas, you must drop by our house often in the future! Grandpa and I both like you a lot!” Alexis smiled playfully and winked before leaving.

“Hah, indeed, shes still a child at heart,” Edmund said dotingly while looking at the back of his beautifully dressed granddaughter.

After rinsing the basket of fruits under a tap, a servant placed them on a fruit tray, brought it over to the courtyard, and placed it on a stone table under a tree.

This resting corner was decorated in an idyllic style, with a small stone table and three antique round tree stumps around it.

Edmund warmly asked Lucas to sit down on a tree stump.

“Quickly take a seat and try the fruits I planted myself.

They are definitely better than what you can get elsewhere!”

Lucas smiled.

“Thank you, Mr.

Cole.

Im in for a treat today then.”

——

At the same time, in the villa where Clement was…

Clement had lost his temper just now from his failed attempts to convince Bruce and Damon to sever ties with Lucas.

He had even smashed his phone.

He had to down several mouthfuls of tea to calm down.

At this moment, the butler-like man who had previously invited Lucas hurriedly came in from outside and reported, “Mr.

Cole, that punk named Lucas Gray didnt leave but was taken by Miss Cole to Mr.

Cole Srs garden!”

Clement suddenly stood up, and the anger he had just suppressed surged in his heart again.

“What did you say How dare he go to my father It seems that he didnt take my warning and me seriously!”

He suddenly pounded the table and yelled angrily, “Lets go to the garden now.

I want to see how that punk managed to get into my fathers good books! Punk, arent you really good at pretending Just you wait.

Im going to remove your facade and reveal your true colors.

Lets see what else you can do!”

Clement furiously brought his subordinate with him to Edmunds residence.

——

At this moment, Lucas and Edmund were talking while eating the fruits Edmund had grown.

Just as Edmund boasted, these fruits he had grown with his own hands were extremely juicy and sweet, much tastier than those bought in markets.

“Theyre really delicious! Mr.

Cole, Im surprised that you not only know how to fight on the battlefield and do business, but youre even really good at growing fruits and vegetables.

I truly take my hat off to you!” Lucas praised from the bottom of his heart.

If these words came out of anyone elses mouth, Edmund might think that the other party was flattering him on purpose in order to curry favor with him.

But Lucas was definitely not the kind of person who would deliberately suck up to him.

Since Lucas said they were good, they definitely were.

So Edmund was even more pleased and overjoyed to hear Lucass compliment.

“Haha, its just a little hobby of mine that isnt worth mentioning! If you like them, Ill have someone pick some for you later, and you can bring them home for your wife and child to try,” Edmund said in high spirits.

“Let me thank you on behalf of my wife and daughter then, Mr.

Cole!” Lucas didnt decline and gladly accepted Edmunds kind gesture.

“Speaking of which, its my first time visiting the Coles today, so Ive brought you a gift too.

I hope you dont mind it.”

Then Lucas took out the gift he had brought for Edmund..
