Chapter 124 Online Expert
Alexander didn't come and didn't even make a phone call. What was the point of sending messages?
When Ivy was busy, she didn't have time to check the messages on her phone.
"I'm sorry, everyone," Ivy apologized to everyone. "There's something urgent at Alexander's company, so he can't make it. Let's start eating. I'll heat up the cold dishes."
"No need to heat them up, I can't wait!" Michael eagerly picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. He had been starving for a while now.
"Mummy, I don't want it heated either." Molly picked up her porridge and started drinking.
"We can finally eat!" Mollien grabbed a scallion pancake with one hand and stuffed it into her mouth.
The other four little girls also showed no manners, clearly famished.
That annoying man! Ivy complained in her heart as she took a piece of pastry and absentmindedly ate it.
After finishing their morning routines, Ivy thought about Alexander's message saying he would come for lunch, and she was filled with new hope.
Leaving Maria to take care of the children, Ivy personally went to the market to buy a variety of ingredients. When she returned, she was busy preparing her best dishes to let Alexander taste them.
At the Ashford Villa.
Alexander reluctantly accompanied Mrs. Ashford for breakfast, while Leo and Hailey remained silent.
Mrs. Ashford said in a very good mood, "That's right, a family should be together. From now on, you should all come to have meals with me on time, and no one should be absent."
"I can't do that. I have something to do at noon," Alexander coldly replied.
"What's the matter? Can't you cancel it?" Mrs. Ashford's face turned serious.
"I can't cancel it. I made an appointment with someone," Alexander said firmly.
Leo knew that Alexander was going to meet Ivy. He also wanted to meet Ivy and ask her directly if she was really carrying Alexander's child.
So, he helped Alexander out, "Grandma, I also have something to do at noon. Neither of us will eat here."
"Bang!" Mrs. Ashford slammed the table hard and angrily said, "You've all grown up, and your wings are so strong now. You no longer care about the existence of an old woman like me!"
"Grandma!"
"Grandma!"
Alexander and Leo both felt suffocated. This old woman, why was she always so controlling!
Hailey calmly said, "Alexander, Leo, in fact, your Grandma has something important to do today. She really hopes that you two can be present so that she won't be deceived by anyone."
"What does Grandma want to do?" Leo curiously asked.
Glancing at Alexander, Hailey said, "Yesterday, your grandma went to Alexander's house. Alexander's doctor gave her a fragment of a shell, and yesterday afternoon, she had it appraised by an archaeology expert. The expert said that the shell is over ten thousand years old."
"Over ten thousand years?" Alexander looked shocked. "Wasn't it seven or eight hundred years?"
Mrs. Ashford chuckled and said, "Your family doctor indeed said it was seven or eight hundred years, but he is not an archaeology expert.
"However, the expert yesterday said it has a history of over ten thousand years. I couldn't believe it. So, I specially invited a highly reputable archaeology expert from the internet to come and appraise it. Don't you want to see the results of the appraisal together?"
Of course, they wanted to! Alexander and Leo looked at each other and decided to stay.
They both knew that Ivy had bags filled with such shells. If they truly had a history of over ten thousand years, Ivy's value would be unimaginable. They had to stay on-site and witness the appraisal results.
However, they couldn't help but worry when they thought that the expert was invited from the internet.
"Grandma, can we trust the expert invited from the internet?"
"Yeah, Grandma, what if he is a fraud..."
