The Fearsome Dragon Warrior

Chapter 29

"So what if he arrives? Just come on up! Do you mean for the entire family to go down and greet him?" Franklin muttered under his breath.

"What are you mumbling about?" Suzie placed a hand on her hip.

"Not- Nothing!" He headed downstairs reluctantly under his wife's watchful gaze.

Jacob watched as his father went downstairs with heavy steps. He raised an eyebrow. So, this is the kind of uncle we're talking about.

Suzie glanced at her husband, "Aren't you afraid of being rude, if just the two of us greet him?"

Franklin pouted before turning to wave down his son and daughter. "Let's go together. The Lynch family may be small, but don't mistake us for being uncivilized."

The brother and sister exchanged glances. Let's go. Just think of it as some light exercise before dinner.

After ten minutes of standing in the garden, Janelle pouted. "Dad, why isn't he here yet? I'm starving!"

"Wait just a while longer, Janelle. Your uncle will be here soon." Suzie put an arm around her shoulders.

After another ten minutes, a silver-gray Nissan Bluebird sports car came roaring up the driveway.

Kelvin stepped out of the car in a two-piece suit. He clasped his hand and said, "I'm sorry for making

you wait. Traffic was horrible."

"All is good as long as you've arrived safely, Kelvin!" Suzie said softly. "There's been a lot of construction happening in the South Precinct. Traffic is to be expected!"

"As long as you're not blaming me!" Kelvin chortled warmly. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

After a pause, he smacked his forehead. "I almost forgot. I brought a bottle of white wine."

Wine? The couple looked surprised, whereas Jacob's expression did not change.

Kelvin turned and reached into the car to pull out a bottle of wine. "It's not crazy expensive, but it was a gift from a business friend of mine. I heard that it costs about a thousand."

"Wow! A thousand!" Janelle's eyes widened.

Jacob felt guilty when he saw his sister's reaction. Back then if it wasn't for him, his sister wouldn't be so shocked at a bottle of wine costing a thousand bucks.

If it weren't for the bottle of Lafite from earlier, Suzie would have been moved by this thousand bucks bottle of wine. And Franklin would have been annoyed by it.

But now, the couple smiled politely. Suzie took the wine from Kelvin and led the way upstairs.

Jacob raised his eyebrow at his father after the dishes were served. "Dad, are we drinking the red or?"

"What do you mean red!" Franklin glared at him. "Your uncle brought a good bottle of wine with him! Go

open it up."

Franklin did not want to share his treasured wine worth twenty thousand with him. He wouldn't want to share it even if it costed ten bucks.

"I'll go get a decanter." Janelle announced as she ran into the kitchen. She wanted to try what a thousand bucks white tasted like.

Suzie rolled her eyes at her husband. She spoke softly to Kelvin. "It's been a while since I've had such an expensive wine, dear cousin. Today, we get a taste of how the rich live!"

"Wines are meant for drinking. It's not just for the rich!"

Kelvin waved his hand, but his eyes were sullen. That white was worth a thousand bucks. Shouldn't they keep it hidden instead of drinking it willy-nilly?

As they waited for the wine to breathe, Franklin took on his role as the head of the house and suppressed what disgruntlement he had and smiled warmly at Kelvin. He warmly invited Kelvin to have the first bite.
