Chapter 374: A Secret Between Men
A lively atmosphere surrounded the Xu family’s ancestral home. The place was decorated accordingly for the Dragon Boat Festival. Despite not being as grand as the Lunar New Year, the merry ambiance brightened the home.
Only Calix, Leslie and Calliope went to the ancestral home. Both Mrs. Su and Mrs. An were given a holiday break. Their work would resume this coming Monday.
Old Madam Xu’s close maids were as competent as the private nurses. They would assist Leslie if she required anything.
Thus, the husband and wife decided to let Mrs. An and Mrs. Su enjoy the holiday with their family.
As for Uncle Raymond and Aunt Wendy, they opted to stay at the Graceville Manor as usual. But, they had a plan to go and watch the dragon boat race, including enjoying the rest of the festival.
The family of three had dinner with Old Madam Xu, Andrian, Harper and the others. Their lighthearted conversation echoed in the dining room as they enjoyed the delectable dishes prepared by the chef.
"The place will be crowded early. We should head out at least by seven."
Calix, Vernon and everyone agreed with Andrian. They were talking about their visit to Silvercove Beach tomorrow morning. An internationally renowned dragon boat race would be held there.
"We’ve booked a place for our family but, yeah, better to go early lest we get stuck in traffic" added Vernon while he clipped the sweet and sour chicken bites for Amelia.
Leslie quietly listened to their talk. Calix had already told her and Calliope that they would stay the day at the beach. To be more specific, at their holiday villa.
The Xu family had a three-story villa at Silvercove Beach. The place was rarely used even in the summer.
