Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Henry Blake

In the kitchen, Henry Blake was busy alone, washing, chopping, and frying vegetables. He was already very skilled in the work in the kitchen.

There were bursts of laughter in the living room from time to time. It was Henry Blake's father-in-law and mother-in-law who were chatting with their future son-in-law.

Henry Blake is also the son-in-law of the Carter family, but he is the door-to-door son-in-law who joined the Carter family.

In addition, he has no job and no family background, so he has always been unpopular in the Carter family.

Chores such as washing, cooking, and cleaning are all undertaken by him alone.

Even so, his father-in-law and mother-in-law were very dissatisfied with him.

Lionel Carter, Henry Blake's father-in-law, said with a smile on his face: "Diego Shaw, your aunt and I have basically agreed on the marriage between you and Ada. Let's meet with your parents someday. Let's discuss it." specific matters."

Ada is Henry Blake's sister-in-law, named Ada Carter.

Diego Shaw is Ada Carter's boyfriend. The two have known each other for less than three months, and they are already talking about marriage. Today, Diego Shaw came to see the parents.

Diego Shaw replied: "Okay, Uncle, look at your time with Auntie, my parents are free anytime."

At this time, Henry Blake prepared the last meal, sweet and sour fish, and he brought the meals to the dining table in the restaurant one by one.

"Mom and Dad, the food is ready, you can prepare to eat!"

Diego Shaw asked curiously: "Ada, who is this?"

Ada Carter curled her lips, and said with disdain: "He? He is Henry Blake, my sister's husband, a parasite who has no official job, lives on my sister, and lives in our house."

Hearing Ada Carter's introduction to himself, Henry Blake frowned slightly. Anyway, he was Ada Carter's brother-in-law, so he belittled himself like this.

Henry Blake has always had little say in this family, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law spoiled Ada Carter very much, so he dared not say anything on weekdays.

Coupled with the fact that today was the day when Ada Carter's boyfriend came to visit, Henry Blake didn't want to make everyone unhappy with a few words, so as not to embarrass his wife Amy Carter when she returned home.

Ada Carter suddenly asked: "What time is it? Why hasn't my sister come back yet? Mom, didn't you tell my sister that I'm going to bring my boyfriend home today?"

At this moment, the door opened, and Amy Carter, who was wearing a black professional lOL attire, walked in.

"Sorry, I'm late. I met a client temporarily when I got off work."

Diego Shaw's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Ada, is this your sister? You are already very beautiful, I didn't expect your sister to be so beautiful."

"Hi sister, my name is Diego Shaw, and I'm Ada's boyfriend."

"Oh, hello, Ada's boyfriend is really a good-looking talent."

Amy Carter is 26 years old this year. She is tall and well-proportioned. Her pair of jade legs are slender and straight, eye-catching. She is a rare beauty.

Lionel Carter said: "Now that Amy is back and the meals are ready, let's eat and chat? Some home-cooked meals, Diego Shaw, don't hold back."

Everyone sat down one by one, Henry Blake sat down next to Amy Carter, and he gave Amy Carter a piece of fish.

"Amy, this is my sweet and sour fish, how would you like it?"

Ada Carter took a piece of fish herself, put it in her mouth, and spat it out before she could chew it.

"Bah bah bah, it's unpalatable, Henry Blake, you didn't buy dead fish, did you? It's not fresh at all."

Amy Carter tasted the fish and found nothing unusual.

"Ada, what are you talking about? This fish is not fresh."

Ada Carter picked up another sprig of celery, tasted it and spat it out.

"This celery is too old to chew."

After finishing speaking, Ada Carter said with a proud face: "Dad, have you heard of the Great Grand Hotel? It was opened by Diego Shaw's family. Their hotel is a four-star hotel. The head chef came back from a Michelin restaurant abroad. The food is delicious."

Diego Shaw said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, why don't we go out to eat today? I'll ask the hotel chef to make some special dishes for you to try."

Henry Blake's face became a little unhappy, he understood that Ada Carter was deliberately embarrassing him today.

In the past, Ada Carter said that the meals he cooked were better than those made by his mother-in-law, but today she was criticizing everywhere, just to show that her boyfriend's family runs a hotel.

Amy Carter said hastily: "Henry Blake has made such a table of dishes, and it can't be wasted. I think it's better to go another day. Today, everyone will make do with it."

Nadia, Henry Blake's mother-in-law snorted, feeling ashamed in front of Diego Shaw, and scolded: "Henry Blake, tell me, it's fine if you don't have a job, and you can't even cook well. What use are you?"

Diego Shaw picked up a dish, tasted it, and said in a condescending tone: "The taste of this meal is a bit poor, we will be a family in the future, Henry Blake, if you are interested in cooking, I can arrange for you Go to the back kitchen of the hotel as an apprentice. Not only can I learn a craft, but I can also earn one or two thousand yuan a month, which can supplement the family."

Nadia glared at Henry Blake and said, "It's rare that Diego Shaw thinks of you so much, why don't you thank him soon?"

Henry Blake clenched his fists in anger. Diego Shaw's words were not for his sake, they were insulting him.

Ada Carter patted Henry Blake's clenched fist quietly under the table, implying that he had to be patient, and then Henry Blake slowly let go of his fist.

"Thanks, no, I'm not interested in being a chef."

At this time, Ada Carter added fuel to the fire and said: "What? You don't look down on apprentices? Look at you, you are so poor, you want to save face and suffer. You and my sister go shopping, it is my sister who pays for it." ? Have you ever bought a piece of clothing or jewelry for my sister?"

Ada Carter took out a necklace from her neck, and the gemstones on it sparkled.

"Open your eyes and see, this is the necklace Diego Shaw bought for me. It's thirty-eight thousand and eighty thousand. You can't afford it in your life! When you married my sister, you didn't even buy a diamond ring. Live at home and eat and drink."

"Ada, that's enough!"

Amy Carter turned pale with anger, Henry Blake was useless, he was also her husband.

Diego Shaw is not yet married to Ada Carter, and in terms of status, he is still an outsider.

Taunting Henry Blake like this in front of an outsider not only embarrasses Henry Blake, but also embarrasses Amy Carter.

"Your brother-in-law is always nice to you, why are you talking nonsense today? You forgot who brought you home with an umbrella on a rainy day? You forgot that you were sick, who carried you to the hospital in the middle of the night?"

Ada Carter said ungratefully: "Tch, he took an umbrella to pick me up on rainy days, and carried me to the hospital in the middle of the night. Isn't it because he is poor? If he has money to buy a car, is it still necessary?"

"Whether it's raining or sick, I won't need him anymore, because Diego Shaw will drive me, right, Diego Shaw?"

Diego Shaw said with a smile: "Of course, when we get married, I will buy you a car to drive."

"Thank you dear!"

Ada Carter kissed Diego Shaw in front of everyone without feeling embarrassed at all.

"This food is too bad, let's not eat it at home today, anyway, you have seen my parents, why don't we go out to eat?"

Ada Carter pulled Diego Shaw up, and the two walked out directly.

"Mom and Dad, I may come back late tonight, you don't have to wait for me, go to bed early!"

Lionel Carter sighed and said, "Okay, let's eat!"

Nadia threw down her chopsticks and said, "I'm so full, what else do I want to eat?"

A family dinner broke up like this.

Amy Carter comforted Henry Blake and said, "Don't take it to heart, Ada is not a bad person, and she doesn't know what happened today, she is full of nonsense."

Henry Blake smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't hold her grudges."

Amy Carter replied: "Then I will go back to the company first. I have a client to meet in the afternoon, and we will go to the movies together in the evening."

"it is good!"

Henry Blake sent Amy Carter out the door, then turned to clean up the dishes.

At this time, his mobile phone vibrated suddenly and received a text message.

"Mr. Finch, the three-year period has expired, and the family's restrictions on you have been lifted."

"From now on, your UBS account has been unfrozen, and your Centurion Card has been unfrozen. If you need any help, you can call the family's internal contact number at any time."
