Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 849: Chapter 849: The Old Master is Probably Going to Provoke Again_1

The little guy put his hands on his hips, suspecting that the two of them had been whispering behind his back.

Humph!

The little guy puffed out his cheeks and pouted.

These two were always secretive!

Cindy Clarke knew the little guy too well.

Upon seeing his reaction, she immediately knew why the little guy was upset.

He didn’t even have to speak out.

As it happened, the little guy’s eyes met Adrian Zhekova’s.

In this way, the little guy freely found out what was on his mind.

The corner of Adrian Zhekova’s mouth then slightly curled up.

Cindy Clarke quickly put on a serious face and looked the little guy up and down.

“Wow! You look so handsome today,” Cindy said.

As expected, the little guy immediately forgot his recent resentment.

He promptly puffed up his little chest.

As the golden grandson of the Zhekova Family, how could he have only one set of new clothes for the holidays?

During the holidays, in addition to the new clothes that Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova bought for the little guy.

The elder couple also got some for him.

There were also clothes from Maverick Zhekova and Victoria Wheeler.

The main thing was, none of the seniors wanted to fall behind.

How could there only be new clothes from Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke?

The grandparents wanted the little guy to know that they hadn’t forgotten about him either!

As a result, the elders also took the little guy to the shopping mall to choose clothes.

Consequently, a competition ensued between the elder couple.

Both elders fought to pay the bill.

The old master bought a coat.

Old Madam felt that the rest of what she got wasn’t as expensive as that coat.

This inequality bothered her.

So, the old madam also decided to buy the little guy a coat of the same value.

Originally, the old madam wanted to buy a coat more expensive than the one the old master bought in order to outdo him.

However, when the old master saw this, he immediately became frantic.

“That’s so sneaky! Trying to buy something more expensive than mine! No way, you have to buy something of the same price as me!” the Old Master protested.

If it really came down to it, the old master would make up for the price by buying more sweaters, trousers, and such.

But he feared the old madam wouldn’t be honest. If the old master bought first and the old madam later, she might outdo him in price.

So, the old master said, “You can buy that one too, but for the sweater you’re buying later, you have to buy first.”

Upon hearing this, the old madam caught on to the old master’s plan.

The old madam expressed that she would not be deceived.

“Ha! I see what you’re up to! You want me to buy first so you can buy something even more expensive later!” the old madam said.

Little guy: “…”

The little guy was getting anxious, he never thought that his great grandfather and great grandmother would start arguing over buying him new clothes.

This… thank goodness he was just a little boy, a boy at that.

Otherwise, it would be like that red whatever water!

However, this still highlighted his status as the golden grandson of the Zhekova Family.

His status even surpassed his dad’s.

“Great Grandpa, Great Grandma, don’t fight over me,” the little guy was holding his chubby cheeks, blushing and twisting his waist.

Oh dear, being so popular did have its own troubles!

“I bought first this time, next time you buy first, that’s fair!” the old master stomped his feet.

“Ah! Let’s not argue, let’s not fight!” the little guy argued anxiously, “How about… how about we all buy clothes around the same price?”

It’s hard to find different clothes that cost exactly the same.

“Just… if they’re just a few or tens of yuan apart, it doesn’t matter,” the little guy suggested. Remembering the price of the coat the old master just bought for him, he quickly added, “even a few hundred yuan apart would be fine.”

The clothes that Cindy Clarke used to buy for the little guy weren’t considered luxurious.

There were some worth tens of yuan, hundreds, even thousands.

But she had never bought any worth tens of thousands.

This time, the old master bought a famous down jacket brand.

It cost a staggering twelve thousand.

Now the old madam wanted to match this price.

The little guy had tried on several pieces from this brand.

There weren’t many options for kids’ clothes to begin with.

The little guy had chosen his favorite one.

So the old madam decided that buying more from this store wasn’t suitable.

Therefore, under the reluctant gaze of the saleswoman, they went to another equally expensive down jacket brand.

This brand had a completely different style, and the old madam had the little guy try on a few pieces.

Thinking that he looked good in all of them, she wanted to buy all of them.

But with the old master watching like a hawk, there was no way the old madam would let that happen.

So the little guy said, “Great Grandma, it’ll be warm again in a few months and I won’t be able to wear them anymore! Let’s just buy one this time, we can buy new ones later, so I’ll always have new clothes to wear!”

Finally, the old madam reluctantly agreed.

After much effort, she finally picked out one with a price similar to the one the old master had chosen.

Therefore, the two elders began to compete again to buy other items.

Although the little guy felt very fortunate.

But with the old master and the old madam competing like this, the efficiency of clothes shopping dropped significantly.

They spent an entire day shopping.

Not only were the two elders overwhelmed.

But the little guy also didn’t want to visit the shopping mall again in the short term.

It was a painful yet enjoyable experience.

Of course, this competition didn’t occur between Maverick Zhekova and Victoria Wheeler.

But Maverick Zhekova felt that since Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova had bought clothes for the little guy, and even the two elders had each gotten him a set, they, as grandparents, shouldn’t fall behind, either.

So they also took the little guy shopping for another set of clothes.

As a result, the little guy had a total of four sets of new outfits for the holidays.

Whenever he went out to pay a New Year visit, he could always wear something different.

And his outfit today was different from the other days.

And these were all outfits that the little guy had picked out himself.

The little guy was pleased that his fashion choices had been validated.

“This coat was bought by Great Grandpa, this sweater by Great Grandma, these trousers by Grandpa, and these shoes by Great Grandpa,” the little guy said.

Cindy thought that if the two elders had been present, the old master probably would have felt provoked again.

Today, the old master bought one more item.

The old master won.

“You mustn’t tell Great Grandpa and Great Grandma about this,” Cindy quickly warned, “otherwise, they’re going to start arguing again.”

The little guy nodded: “I won’t say.”

Checking the time, it was already 2pm. Time to head out.

So the three of them quickly set off.

Adrian Zhekova drove them to the place where Third Old Master Zhekova lived.

Although Third Old Master Zhekova was wheelchair-bound and less mobile, he was still in good spirits.

And his mind was clear.

“Fourth Uncle isn’t usually here, so Third Grandpa has his own caregiver, along with servants and bodyguards assigned by the family. This is to avoid hiring outsiders who’s backgrounds are unknown,” she explained.

They don’t want anyone to take advantage of Third Old Master Zhekova’s age or the fact that he has limited mobility to skim a little off the top.

In reality, whether they worked for the family mansion or for Third Old Master Zhekova, they were always well-compensated.

There was no need to skimp or feel short-changed; they earned a fair amount.
