Chapter 1639 Buy Sheila A Gift
Davin nodded and walked to the kitchen. After taking a few steps, he stopped and turned around to look at Juan. “Well, asking me what I want to eat isn’t your only intention. Instead, you want me to lend a hand in the kitchen, right?”
Juan replied smilingly, “Uncle Davin, you’re a kind person and would always be willing to help others.”
Well, it’s true that I’m a kind person.
Davin thought he deserved Juan’s compliment.
“I know it’s my virtue, but that doesn’t mean I have to help you. How can you ask for help without giving something in return?”
“Uncle Davin, what do you mean?”
“What’s in it for me?”
“Uncle Davin, what do you want?”
Davin took a sideways glance at Juan and said, “Do you even need to ask? What’s the most straightforward way to express your gratitude?”
“Hmm, should I say thank you?”
“Wrong! You should pay me!”
“Uncle Davin, why do you need money? Besides, how much money do you expect to get by helping out in the kitchen?”
“Well, I’m worth at least ten thousand! I think I deserve that much as the appearance fee.”
As Davin was talking, Juan looked upstairs for a while and gave him a look.
Davin frowned and looked in the same direction. The next moment, he saw Sheila standing upstairs and was startled.
I’m doomed. Judging from what I said, Sheep must suspect that I’m secretly keeping some money.
Will she punish me after we go home? What should I do?
As soon as a thought flashed through Davin’s mind, he cleared his throat and began to put on a show.
“Juan, please don’t feel unhappy because I asked for the appearance fee. I wish to buy Aunt Sheila’s favorite necklace with ten thousand as Valentine’s Day gift to surprise her. I’m sure she will be overjoyed once she receives the gift.”
He paused for a while and continued, “You know, it’s not easy for me. I only wish to make Aunt Sheila happy. As long as she is happy, I’ll feel that my life is full of purposes and meanings…”
Meanwhile, Juan was amazed by how Davin could talk nonsense righteously.
Uncle Davin is so good at acting accordingly and coaxing a girl! I’m sure Aunt Sheila loved hearing it.
When Juan looked up, Sheila was already walking down the stairs. Then, she came up to Davin, gazing at him lovingly.
“Davin, is that true? Are you going to give me a surprise during Valentine’s Day?”
It’s not true! I purposely said so for you to hear it!
Forcing a smile, Davin responded, “Sheep, did you hear what I said? My goodness. I wouldn’t have said it if I knew you were around.”
Feeling touched, Sheila said, “I understand that you don’t want me to know it in advance, for it’s supposed to be a surprise. Anyway, it’s my fault for being so strict with your spending. I’m giving this card worth three million to you. From now on, you can spend all you want and don’t have to worry when you want to buy me a gift!”
Davin felt touched as he stared at the card.
Sheila said this card is worth three million. Besides, I have saved quite a lot from the three hundred million that I got from Desmond. At that moment, Davin couldn’t help but feel that he was still wealthy.
“Is this really for me?”
“It’s for you. Take it!”
After Sheila put the card on Davin’s hands generously, he scanned her from head to toe and asked, “Are you sure you won’t regret it?”
“I won’t! From now on, I’ll give you money regularly. However, you must promise me that you won’t recklessly spend the money.”
“I understand. Anyway, no worries. I’ll keep the money that you gave me to buy gifts for you.”
Sheila was satisfied with his reply.
After keeping the card in his pocket, Davin gave Juan a look and walked to the kitchen arrogantly. It was as if Davin had unexpectedly received a huge chunk of money.
Meanwhile, Juan had learned that one ought not to reason with women but make them feel touched.
After all, women are emotional. They are willing to give us everything if they feel touched. That includes their precious money and jewelry. I have to remember the rule once I have a girlfriend.
