Chapter 708 Unwanted Gifts

Jeremy brushed off Greyson's question and calmly took a sip of the wine before he said, "Nothing. I'm going home to prepare a gift for Fabio."

"Hey, Jeremy, why are you leaving so soon? You just got here," Greyson called after him.

Now that everyone seemed to have moved on with their lives and was occupied with their own issues, it was time for him to find a girlfriend.

With this thought, someone's pretty face suddenly appeared in Greyson's mind.

Greyson shook his head quickly. 'What am I thinking?

Stop it! Stop!'

As soon as the family got in the car, Fabio quickly opened the box Ellie gave him, curious to find out what his gift was. To his surprise, it was an exquisite and expensive looking necklace.

Ashley couldn't help laughing at the mismatched and unsuitable gift. It must have been a gift that Francis gave to Ellie. But she just gave it to Fabio in reciprocation to what he gave her.

Maybe Ellie hadn't even opened it to see what was inside and just passed it on to Fabio.

Fabio's eyes grew wide as saucers as he looked at the gift, blinking rapidly in confusion.

He couldn't understand what he was supposed to do with a necklace.

Beautiful and invaluable as it was, the necklace was just a useless piece of jewelry for Fabio. Necklaces weren't really designed for boys like him. He examined it from all angles but still didn't see how he could pull off wearing something made for girls.

Fabio blinked again and angled his head while staring at Ashley in confusion, "Mom, how about I give this to you? You would look prettier in it than I would." After all, it was a token of love from his Auntie Ellie.

Ashley was about to take it when a hand popped out from nowhere and grabbed the necklace. A cold sullen voice stated, "No, I will buy her all the jewelry she wants."

The necklace was thrown back to Fabio before the boy could even muster a reaction to such absurdity.

The necklace was probably worth several millions, yet it was thrown back to Fabio as if it was a piece of garbage.

Ashley was at a loss for words.

Andrew was way too sensitive, bordering on irrational.

He would never allow Ashley to wear something offered to her or bought for her by any other man.

Whatever it was.

Only he himself was allowed to buy Ashley whatever she needed to wear.

Fabio also understood what Andrew meant and didn't bother to argue.

"Well neither do I have any use for it." Fabio looked forward stoically while folding his arms across his chest trying to express his displeasure at what just happened.

Howeve

o do the same for Andrew, this time with new chopsticks, or else he would again, be sour and jealous of Fabio all night.

"Mommy, I want another piece of beef. Mommy, more mushrooms..."

Ashley was amazed at Fabio's appetite.

Both Ashley and Fabio immensely enjoyed everything about the hot pot. After the meal, their lips and faces were as red as a cherry tomatoes because they had too much chili spice.

Their flushed and sweaty cheeks made them look as if they were drunk.

Even their belches due to overeating had the smell of hot pot.

They went home directly after dinner. Having removed their shoes and entered the door, Ashley looked at Fabio and secretly winked at him with encouragement.

Reluctantly, he thought of what Ashley had said and stepped forward to hold Andrew's hand.

Andrew turned back and looked at him with surprise.

His sharp and permanently cold eyes made Andrew unapproachable because people always felt intimidated and afraid, but Fabio was not fazed at all.

"Daddy, squat down a little,"

Fabio uttered.

This was not the first time that Fabio called Andrew, Daddy. He had called Andrew, Daddy many times ever since they had met.

But this time, it sounded sweeter than usual, as if he was more sincere and actually meant it.

Andrew took a look at Ashley and then squatted down as requested.

After rummaging through his bag for a while, Fabio found the gift and handed it to Andrew with a smile on his face, "Daddy, here you go."

At the same time, while intently looking at Andrew's serious and cold face, he got close to his father and gave him a warm kiss.

After the kiss, he ran and hid behind Ashley shyly and gazed at Andrew with his big eyes.
