NovelEnglishChapter 294 It was Matthew's birthday today but he was now upset because of me.
After entering the living room and taking a seat, the servants served us freshly brewed tea.
Theo took a sip of the tea with a smile before taking out a gift box from his suit pocket. "Marcus, I didn't bring anything when I visited last tand felt really sorry about it. When I went hthat day, a friend invitedto a charity auction and I saw this there. I figured you'd like it.” Theo opened up the gift box as he spoke.
Inside the gift box lay a piece of jade. The jade was white in color, crystal clear and extremely lustrous. It looked especially precious at first glance.

Marcus nodded with a smile and put the jade back into the box. He handed it to the servants and ordered them to keep it safe. He then turned around and said to Theo, "You're so thoughtful. I really like this gift." "Perhaps it's because of the child, Theo's getting more and more thoughtful now." Quinn praised him.
"I'm more thoughtful when I do things now." Theo held my hand and chuckled. "Wanda will always remindof the things I don't notice. Had it not been for her reminder when we got hthe last time, I would've forgotten about my manners." Me,"???" Marcus shifted his gaze towardand nodded in satisfaction. "I knew you were a different child from the first tI saw you." "You flatter me, Marcus," I replied, embarrassed.
We then chatted for a while more until dinner was ready. After that, we all moved to the dining area.
It was Matthew's birthday today, so our topic of conversation surrounded him. Suddenly, someone mentioned that he was now at a marriageable age and the atmosphere suddenly turned a little tense.
Matthew's dissatisfaction toward his father had reached the extreme. He put down his knife and fork, coldly saying, "Didn't you always say that a man likewill never get a girl? So don't bother worrying about whether I'll marry anyone or not. I'll stay single for the rest of my life." "Do you even listen to yourself?!" Marcus slammed the table furiously.
"Calm down, don't argue." Quinn rolled her eyes as she grabbed Marcus' arm. She quickly said, "It's Matthew's birthday today. You promised to let it drop. Also, stop saying things like that to your son. Of course, he wouldn't be pleased hearing you say such things.
Calm down, don't embarrass yourself in front of Theo and Wanda." After saying that, Quinn put a spoonful of food on my plate. "Wanda, hurry up and tellabout celebrity gossip." Quinn was an expert at smoothing things over. Before the father and son could begin arguing, she had already ended it in a few words. It was no wonder a clever woman like her was able to capture Marcus' heart.
I glanced at Matthew's sullen face and continued to chat with Quinn.
