Chapter 910 From Mansion to Thatched Cottage
Ben looked at Joe with confusion, seemingly not understanding why the loaches could still escape from his palm even after he caught them.
This was the first time Joe had seen Ben look so helpless. He chuckled and said to Ben, “Loaches have a layer of mucus on their body surface, which makes them very slippery. When you catch them, you have to relax your grip a little, making it easier to catch them.” “Oh! Ben’s helpless face is so cute! It’s touching my heart!” “Mr. Smith, don’t think I didn’t see you laugh at Ben! Seeing your son so helpless, don’t you hurt?” “Group up to support Ben; anyone wants to join?” Under Joe’s guidance, Ben bit his lip and mustered the courage to try again. Unexpectedly, this time he managed to hold the loach securely in his hand and successfully tossed it into the basket! “I caught it!” Ben exclaimed, his face flushed with excitement as he looked at Joe
with sparkling eyes. Joe smiled gently and patted his hair. Seeing Ben so happy, Anna, who usually disliked getting dirty, became curious and turned her eyes toward Charlotte. “Do you want to go down too?” Charlotte looked at Anna. Anna eagerly shook Charlotte’s hand, and Charlotte had no choice but to put on little rain boots for her and strap on a small basket. Anna immediately dashed off. Jerome, seeing the rapidly increasing live comments, was elated and wished he could consider the Smiths as financial gods. He knew that inviting the Smiths to this variety show was absolutely the smartest decision he had ever made.
With the addition of Ben and Anna, they soon caught a basket full of loaches. Not to mention twenty, even one hundred would be enough. Jerome quickly approached Ben and Anna and announced, “This time, I declare Ben and Anna as the final winners. You can have the first pick at the room you want.” Charlotte and Joe breathed a sigh of relief; it looked like they wouldn’t have to switch rooms tonight. However, they soon realized they had breathed easy too soon. Who could have imagined that, after whispering together for a while, Ben and Anna chose the worst… thatched cottage. “Mom, we thought about it! This thatched cottage is so special! We both like it!” Anna spoke in a childlike voice to Charlotte. Charlotte looked at the ramshackle thatched cottage not far away and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It’s falling apart; how could it not be special? “So hilarious! Miss Clinton probably never dreamed she would live in a thatched cottage.” “Ben and Anna aren’t wrong. A thatched cottage… isn’t it very special? So interesting.” “If Anna’s eyes weren’t so sincere, I would suspect she’s deliberately going against the grain.” Even though Charlotte was not pleased internally, she showed no signs of it on her face. Instead, she smiled gently at Anna, “As long as you both like it.” After all, they could switch rooms tomorrow. This would at least fulfill Ben and Anna’s wishes for now. After the room assignment was over, Joe carried the luggage, and they all walked to the front of the thatched cottage.
Ben and Anna rushed inside, full of excitement. Charlotte, looking at the dusty door, walked in with resignation. Fortunately, Jerome was still a little considerate. Though the exterior of the thatched cottage looked run-down, the interior was relatively clean.
