Chapter 969 A Big Meal
The day after the storm was probably the most memorable day for all the guests.
Jerome almost burst into tears after seeing that all the guests had returned safely, which stunned everyone.
Among those guests who had lost contact, Joe and Charlotte were in relatively good condition, and the other two families were more or less injured.
The unluckiest person was Max. Unfortunately, his bag was blown away by the wind. Although he found it later, everything in the bag was messed up.
Besides, he failed to change out Evie’s wet clothes in time, so Evie got a high fever when she returned.
Jerome quickly sent someone to take them to the hospital.
As for the children who had not eaten or slept well in the past few days, they took advantage of the busy time of the adults to make a private agreement to go to the buffet together. Ben even secretly contacted the restaurant andmade a reservation…
When Charlotte knew about that, they had already made all the preparations and were just waiting for their parents to lead the way.
“Now that the children are ready, let’s go.” Charlotte smiled helplessly, contacted her plane, and immediately sent everyone to the restaurant door.
Expectedly, the children cheered.
Pedro and others were relieved to see that the children were not affected by the heavy rain in the past two days, so they offered to share the cost of the meal.
Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Charlotte. “Ben just told me quietly that he was the one who proposed it, and he would definitely let me pay.”
Neil took the lead to say with a smile, “Since it is so, thank you for your hospitality.”
Since Charlotte had said so, if others insisted on sharing the expenses equally, the atmosphere would be awkward.
“Where is Mr. Smith?” Pedro discovered that Joe was missing and immediately asked strangely.
It was natural for Pedro to be curious. Charlotte and Joe were in a good relationship. Joe would definitely appear wherever Charlotte was, so it seemed that it was not common for the two to be separated.
Charlotte smiled lightly and explained, “He has an important call to answer and will be back soon.”
Sure enough, Joe came back half an hour later.
He was holding a box of handmade chocolates containing lifelike chocolate roses!
“This chocolate is so beautiful!” Ottilie praised in surprise.
It was so delicately made that they could tell it was worth a lot just by looking at it.
Joe chuckled and looked at Charlotte. “I just saw a chocolate shop on the road and bought it for you. Don’t tell Ben and Anna.”
Charlotte glared at him angrily on the surface but was happy in her heart and carefully put away the chocolate as if she really had no intention of telling them.
Seeing the envy on Ottilie’s face, Neil leaned into her ear and asked softly,
“Shall I buy you one too?”
Ottilie quite wanted it. She thought for a while and said to Neil, “Let’s go and pick a box of chocolates out together later.”
She thought, “Although there are no surprises like Charlotte’s, picking out the chocolate I like is nice.”
Neil held her hand lovingly. “You can buy whatever you like.”
There were no cameras following them step by step, but those people became more relaxed, and their chatting postures were also very casual.
However, they didn’t know that not far away, Jerome arranged for a cameraman to follow them quietly, intending to present that video as bonus scenes to the audience.
