Chapter 65 Flatter
Gastropathy did not develop overnight and cannot be treated quickly.
If the patient wanted to control the disease, at least, he needed to have a healthy diet.
Apparently, William didn't have one.
Frederic, a tough guy, who didn't know how to take care of people. Because of the disease, William didn't want to get close to women.
"Grandpa, I'll make some hericium biscuits for William."
It was said that eating hericium biscuits was good for one's stomach. So, this kind of biscuits was really popular now.
However, William did not like any dessert. Thus, Jane planned to make it on her own and added some salt and pepper to make the biscuits less sweet, crisper, and more delicious. "That's a good idea. Just do what you want to do, Janie."
Colin was happy to see Jane would like to do something for his grandson, William. In the past, she didn't care about William. But at that time, Colin couldn't say anything or find a solution. Now, looking at the two of them sitting together and talking, Colin wondered that it seemed like William and Jane were trying to clear up their past grudges.
Why did it suddenly change so quickly?
Colin rubbed his chin gravely.
"Lainey, you remember that last time I locked William and Janie together? That must be the reason."
Colin was very proud of himself. The only drawback was that the room was too big. Next time, he would find a smaller one.
Lainey wanted to say something but quitted.
Looking at the complacent look of Colin, she did not want to let him down.
'Wasn't it because Madam offered herself to block the knife for Mr. William? Every man will be touched by that!' So, Lainey could only say the truth in her mind.
'At that time, it was dark. Who knew what would happen? Without high attention and alert, Mr. William and Madam might have lost their life.' Lainey thought to herself.
After spending three hours baking hericium biscuits, Jane placed them in a few transparent jars.
'Send these to Frederic tomorrow morning. Frederic will carry them for William.'
'In this way, even when William dislikes the airplane food or will be too busy with the project to have a meal, he will at least have several biscuits to appease his hunger.' Jane thought to herself. Jane asked Lainey for advice on how to make hericium biscuits and tried her best to satisfy William's taste.
The next day, Jane got up early in the morning. Before she went out, she found that there were no suitable clothes to wear.
After time traveling for a month, she found that she had lost her weight by about 10 kg.
It wasn't because Jane wanted to try some extreme weight loss programs. It was the knife wounds that tortured her. Unknowingly, she had lost a lot of weight.
Now that she was ready to go, she realized that her haute couture dress could not fit and the trousers were too fat to wear.
"Madam becomes more beautiful now."
Lainey held the milk in her hand. Seeing Jane sighing against the mirror, she hurriedly comforted her.
"Lainey, is it convenient for you later?"
Jane was distressed. She didn't expect that clothes would be the reason to stop her to go out.
Anyway, Jane was not a caveman. It was supposed to be fine even if she went out in an unsuitable dress.
But Jane hesitated. Ever since she was caught on camera with knife wounds and was teased by the keyboard warriors that she was ugly, she had become sensitive.
It was ok for her to be called stupid. But Jane couldn't tolerate that someone called her ugly!
"Madam, would you like me to bring Mr. William these biscuits?"
Lainey smiled. If she had a daughter, she should be about the same age as Jane. Unfortunately, she only had a son.
Only the woman could understand a woman's feelings.
'Madam cares about her appearance and always wants to show her best to Mr. William. It is my negligence. I should not deliver the dresses in the same size as before.' Lainey felt sorry for Jane.
"Yes."
The chance to win favor with William was gone.
Jane handed the cookies to Lainey and went online to kill time.
Apart from shopping, making an appointment for a card game, and attending a banquet, Mrs. Wealthy had nothing else to do. Jane was extremely bored.
She turned on her computer and started to search for clothes on the Internet.
Compared to the big brands, she preferred the clothes only with a slight degree of luxury.
Clothes in big brands were designed in a high-level way, inevitably too rigid. But clothes with only a slight degree of luxury could meet the needs of daily wear.
Jane had a black card with unlimited credit. She never worried about money.
"Buy! Buy! Buy!"
Jane bought a dozen sets of autumn and winter clothes before stopping.
'Sure enough, what is said on the Internet is very correct. You can't imagine the happiness of rich people.'
'You can eat and enjoy the time. There is no need to work overtime or consider the mortgage. You can buy whatever you want and even only wait for death without any scruples.' 'Anyway, the Duncan family is far more than a rich family.' Jane thought to herself and nodded.
On the other side, Lainey headed straight for the airport but got stuck in a traffic jam, which made her really anxious. Fortunately, before William boarded the plane, she finally delivered the items. "Mr. William, this was made by Madam."
Lainey was so anxious that she forgot all words she had considered on the way to the airport. She wanted to help Jane by telling William what Jane had thought and done for him.
"I see."
Frederic went to make a phone call. William took the transparent cookie jars and opened one to have a piece.
Crisp, salty, with dried fruit in it. It tasted good.
Before Lainey could say anything else, William had already boarded the plane.
In first-class, William refused the flight service and kept looking at the small transparent jar.
This was the first time Jane cared so much about him, but William did not believe in her.
They hadn't interacted for six years. It was so suspectable when Jane said she loved him. How?
When William brought up the divorce, Jane tried her best to soften him up.
'Then, let me see what kind of tricks you still have. After this journey, when I talk about the divorce again, what reaction you will have? Can't wait for it.'
William refused to admit that he suddenly had some bad taste.
"Boss, you know I didn't eat anything this morning?!"
Frederic grabbed the small jar, took out a biscuit, and put it in his mouth. He muttered softly, "Not sweet. But it tastes good."
"It's not for you."
William put on a long face and suddenly became domineering. The moment Frederic was stunned, he snatched the small jar back.
Lainey said that Jane almost burned her hand when she made biscuits.
Since it was for him, it would be impolite to give it away so easily.
"Boss, you still have a lot!"
Frederic looked at the cartoon bag aggrievedly. William has never been so stingy. Who gave him the biscuits?
"I remember that every time you go on a business trip, you will bring something to your girlfriend, don't you?"
It would be impolite not to reciprocate. Jane made biscuits for him, and William would give her something in return.
William asked Frederic for some experience in sending presents to women because William himself didn't know anything about this.
"Yes."
Frederic guessed the source of the biscuit and felt heartache.
"Then help me prepare a present for my wife."
William pretended not to care and casually said, "Just look for something general. As long as a woman would like it, it's ok. This depends on you."
After saying that, William closed his eyes and rested, ignoring Frederic.
"Alright, I'll write it down in the memo."
Frederic recorded everything in his notebook and felt sorry for himself.
William was such a devil. He knew that Frederic didn't have a girlfriend or a gift receiver but only an ex-girlfriend now.
Even in such a situation, William still asked him to choose presents for Jane, which was like sprinkling salt on one's wound.
The assistant general manager always faced these hard tasks. And maybe, Frederic was destined to be a helpless, single man.
Perhaps one day, William could stop being a workaholic and put his family first. At that time, Frederic would receive a new life and own another romantic relationship.
After a long time, every time Frederic recalled what he had thought then, he would smile bitterly. Because William always put his family first, but Frederic was busier than before. Sleeping later than a dog and getting up earlier than a rooster. Being exploited by his boss. This was Frederic's future.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
