Chapter 499： Cat washing story

Chapter 499: Cat Washing

 “Tom, don’t run around, you’ve made the floor dirty.”

Wearing an apron, Nia hurried out of the bathroom and glared at the fat cat in the hall that kept trying to get under the sofa, but got stuck.

"Meow meow meow!"

 After Tom was picked up, a shrill scream echoed in the hall. Most cats don't like bathing very much, and Tom is no exception.

However, for Nia, who likes to be clean, her cat will never come into her room without a good bath.

God knows how dirty Tom had gotten himself into living in an old castle like that, and maybe he even had fleas.

"It's useless to scream. You must wash yourself off today, otherwise you will never eat dried fish again." Nia put her hands on her hips and glared at the fat cat who had just escaped from her and got into the sofa.

 “Albert, Albert, come down and help.”

Nia walked to the stairs and shouted to Albert upstairs.

The door opened with a creak, and Albert put down the homework he had just finished, and went downstairs wearing slippers.

As soon as he entered the hall, Albert saw Nia squatting in front of the sofa, dragging a pair of cat paws with both hands, trying to pull Tom out from under the sofa.

"What's wrong?" Albert saw the water stains on the ground, looked at Nia who was wearing an apron, and asked, "Are you going to give Tom a bath?"

“Come here and help.” Nia urged. “That guy is so dirty. He even wanted to come into my room last night. I was really **** off.”

 “Move the sofa first.” Albert said, “Come over and help.”

"Don't you know how to use magic?" Nia let go of Tom's paw and went to help move the sofa together, but she still complained dissatisfiedly: "This thing should be easy for you!"

"You can't use magic at home." Albert explained, "You should know that."

 The two of them moved the sofa away together, and Albert picked up the whole cat while Tom was back on the sofa. However, the clothes were also soaked by the water stains on Tom's body.

“It’s really troublesome. People are not allowed to use magic, so what’s the use of learning magic?” Nia followed Albert into the bathroom.

This time, Nia closed the bathroom door, not giving Tom a chance to escape.

Albert looked at the angry Nia and said with a smile, "It's really troublesome not being able to use it."

 “You must have never given Tom a bath at school!”

"I washed it several times, but I never washed it for Tom." Albert put Tom back into the bathtub. The fat cat immediately started struggling in the water. He just didn't like to touch the water. When Nia held the shower head, When preparing to give Tom a bath, he struggled even more fiercely. If others heard his shrill screams, they would think they were abusing animals.

"This won't work, just wait a moment." Albert put down Tom and walked out of the bathroom.

 “What are you going to do?” Nia asked doubtfully.

 “Get Tom some food to calm him down.”

“If the food works, I don’t need to ask you to help.” Nia muttered. She had already tried it just now and it didn’t work at all.

 Albert came back soon, and he only brought a small dried fish.

"it's useless"

However, Nia soon discovered that Tom actually became quiet after eating the dried fish. It should be said that he seemed to be... asleep?

"I added a small amount of magic potion to the dried fish. Well, let's help Tom take a bath as soon as possible!" Albert noticed Nia's surprised expression and explained casually. He stretched out his hand to help support Tom's head and let Nia apply body wash on the fat cat.

Even if Tom calms down, bathing a cat is still a big job.

 Twenty minutes later, Albert walked out of the bathroom with Tom wrapped in a towel, and then fed him some water with an energizing potion to wake up the cat prince.

 “I’m really exhausted.”

Nia looked at Tom who was shaking his fat body with resentment. Albert was holding a hair dryer to help dry the water on Tom's body.

 “Go and rest for a while when you are tired!” Albert turned Tom over and blew his belly.

 “No, let me do it.”

Nia took the hair dryer from Albert's hand and rubbed Tom, who was lying on the towel, back and forth.

“Tom is getting fatter and fatter. I thought you would help him lose weight.”

"It's not easy for a fat man to lose weight." Albert said helplessly.

 To this day, the task of helping Tom lose weight is still pending on the task panel.

Albert took out two bottles of homemade bubble milk tea from the refrigerator, handed one to Nia, and asked, "How are you doing in school? Have you made any good friends."

"Of course."

Nia raised her chin and said, "Jenny, Shirley...well, why are you asking these questions?"

“Nothing, just asking casually.” Albert put the pearl milk tea on the table and went back to the room to change his clothes.

“By the way, I heard Herb say he wanted to promote this.”

“They don’t plan to become lawyers, but plan to open a milk tea shop?” Albert asked with a smile.

“No.” Nia shook her head and said, “It seems that Uncle Charlie is interested in bubble milk tea.”

 Charlie is Daisy’s brother, a half-baked chef who is said to have opened a restaurant in London dedicated to British cuisine.

 As for the taste.

Well, the Andersons had never dined at Uncle Charlie's restaurant anyway.

“Well, Uncle Charlie asked me a while ago, what do you like?” Nia glanced at Albert secretly and said with a strange expression: “It seems that I want to come over to you to discuss this matter.”

 “You want to discuss with me?”

“Daisy’s suggestion is to ask Uncle Charlie to come and talk to you in person.” Nia put down the cup and picked up the hair dryer again to blow Tom’s tail.

“She probably thinks that Uncle Charlie’s brain is not as good as yours, and he is not as smart as you on certain things, so he needs your help and advice.”

 “Why didn’t Daisy just tell me?” Albert never thought that he would be the one to promote bubble milk tea to the UK.

“You just had a vacation, Daisy doesn’t want to disturb you for the time being, and you are not short of money. You can win as long as you are willing to buy any lottery tickets.” Nia pulled Tom back who was about to run away.

 Let Nia tell Albert about this, just to get a vaccination first.

 After dinner, Daisy told Albert about it in person.

Of course, if Charlie wants to make money with bubble milk tea, he will naturally have to pay some price.

  About 20% of the profit.

Of course they knew that Albert would not be short of money, but Herb and Daisy didn't really want Albert to make money through the lottery.

 After all, this kind of thing happens so often that someone will eventually discover it.

 Albert agreed.

He also found that Daisy followed the lawyer's habits in some aspects. Even his younger brother would not be lenient at all.

In Daisy’s words, whether you need it or not is one thing, but whether you want it or not is another thing.
