My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Upon hearing that there was going to be a feast, Lindsay knew tha agreed with enthusiasm.

Mason stayed behind since he wanted to make up for his mistakes.

it was Pearl who would be cooking. She immediately.

Perhaps because Pearl was in a good mood, she offered. “If Carson can take a shower and change into clean clothes, I’ll compensate you for this month’s quarterly bonus.”

“Understood!” Mason thought to himself, “What’s so difficult about that? Eve given the elderly plenty of baths at home. I have plenty of ways to deal with them.”

In the Rose Garden, there were facilities for everything, including a hot spring and a sauna

No one knew what trick Mason used, but he successfully convinced Carson not only to take a shower but also to enjoy a hot spring and a sauna. When Carson walked out of the sauna room, he was wearing clean clothes and looking refreshed.

Of course, the tobacco pipe was still firmly in his hand.

“Grandpa.”

Lindsay greeted him from the dining table as she was serving the dishes. She had seen Carson walking over and praised him. “You look great in this outfit.”

Carson grunted and pointed at Mason beside him. “It’s this kid. He’s been pestering me like a fly. I haven’t taken a bath this long in my whole life. I almost ended up with wrinkled skin.

Mason chuckled and thought to himself, “If I can get you to take a shower, my quarterly bonus will be in the bag. I have no choice but to do this to save up for my future wedding.

Pearl walked out of the kitchen with two dishes, lifting her eyelashes to look at Carson.

She smiled. “Isn’t it comfortable after a bath?”

Carson grumbled, “I’m perfectly comfortable even without it.”

Carson did not get to eat anything delicious at the wedding banquet. After starving for the entire day and taking a bath, he was already famished. When he saw the delicious food, his eyes lit up.

“I haven’t eaten Pearl’s cooking in a long time. Let’s eat, where’s the fork?”

They enjoyed their meal, and the three young people had white wine with Carson. The potent liquor burned their throats, turning their faces red and making their hearts feel warmer.

Lindsay had a low alcohol tolerance, and after drinking half a glass of wine, she passed out. Mason only dared to carry her upstairs after getting Pearl’s approval.

In the room, Mason placed Lindsay on the bed. As he tried to remove her shoes, he almost got kicked in the face when she moved.

“Hey, don’t kick me.”

Lindsay, in a drunken stupor, lay on the bed with a flushed face, looking comical. Mason saw her cute face and couldn’t resist. pinching her. Her skin was soft and tender.

However, he didn’t anticipate that Lindsay, in her drunken state, would still have great strength. She winced in pain when he pinched her face. She furrowed her brows, and then abruptly pulled him in front of her.

Mason was caught off guard and rushed forward. His body pressed down, resulting in an unexpected collision of their mouths.

Who took advantage of whom in this situation?

At the dining table, only Pearl and Carson remained.

Pearl’s alcohol tolerance was not that good either. After drinking a few glasses of wine with Carson, her face was also flushed.

Her tender face was like a rose quartz, turning pink.

Carson, seeing Pearl’s adorable expression, seemingly performed a magic trick as he pulled a piece of rose quartz from his tobacco pouch. Then, almost as if guided by a supernatural force, he conjured a carving knife and began to carve under the lamplight. With each stroke, it was as if a divine hand guided him. In just a moment, a vivid miniature figure was successfully. completed.

Carson held the carved rose quartz in his hand and handed it to Pearl. “Pearl, this is a greeting gift for you.”

Pearl had been gazing intently at Carson while he was carving. For a moment, her mind drifted back as if she had returned other children. It was the memory of her sitting on Carson’s lap under the same faint yellow light, focusing her attention on him holding a carving knife. He skillfully carved figures, landscapes, flowers, birds, fish, and insects into pieces of jade.

Back then, she believed that gemstone carving was the most fascinating thing in the world, and Carson was the most skilled gemstone carver in the world.

Carson had large hands with a thick layer of calluses, making the small statue in his palm appear even more delicate.

Pearl reached out and took the miniature figure from Carson. She liked it so much that her lips curved upwards.

Thank you, Grandpa.”

Carson laughed. “Well, you finally cracked a smile in front of me, my dear.”

Pearl held the small figurine in her hand, playing with it affectionately. But when she heard his words, she let out a soft huff. “It’s because you’re staying away from us and not coming home.”

Carson let out a soft sigh. I’m not accustomed to living in such a nice house.”“

“Grandpa, this is your home. In your own home, you can do as you please, there’s no need to hold back.”

Carson shook his head and took another sip of wine gloomily. “No, this is Ken’s and Rebecca’s home, it’s your home, but it’s not mine. My home is in Lensdin, not Nanston. But now that my sons are all grown up and have established their own families, I’m perfectly fine living alone in that old house in my hometown.”

Pearl looked quietly at Carson. All your sons are outstanding, which means you did a good job teaching them. You should be proud.”

“Good teaching? In what way?”

Carson smiled mockingly. “If I had taught them well, your father wouldn’t have chosen to sever ties with me and give up his old profession to start his own business. If I had taught them well, how could I have raised those two little children who harmed each other? They are siblings and it shouldn’t turn out like this.”

Pearl’s expression shook, both for the matter of Ken cutting ties with Carson and for the words in which Carson scolded Ralph and Errol.

She realized that Carson actually knew well about everything.

In Room 77 at the Beverland Hotel, Marc came out of the bathroom after finishing his shower.

He overheard Lucas, who was sitting in front of the computer, exclaim. “Pearl’s grandfather is quite a remarkable person.”

With a white towel draped around his neck, Marc was wearing a set of casual home attire. He was towel–drying his hair as he approached. Raising his eyelashes, he noticed the biographical information on Carson displayed on the computer screen. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Realizing his identity, Marc‘ long eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Lucas’s astonished voice reached his ears. “I think I’ve heard before that the family business of the Woolery family is related to antiques. Their ancestors for three generations were dealing in antiques. However, Ken later ventured into the jewelry business and what used to be their primary occupation became more of a hobby in the eyes of others. It’s surprising that Carson is not just an antique expert but also a master of gemstone carving

Turning his head to face Marc, Lucas inquired. “Hey, have you ever heard of the name Carving Carson‘?

Marc replied calmly, “In the world of gemstones, even a three–year–old child would know.”

Lucas felt somewhat scored and silently closed his mouth “Alright, I’m just not well–informed.”

Much like Master Marlene, Carving Carson was already an elder in the gemstone industry, having left the public eye many years ago. Despite that, his name still carried weight in the industry, even though very few people had actually met him.

Marc’s lips straightened. Did Pearl learn that extraordinary gemstone carving skill from Carson?

Indeed, a great teacher produced brilliant disciples.

With his lips pursed, Mare had a sudden thought.

If they couldn’t invite Matser Marlene, perhaps they could get Carving Carson to lend a hand. That would surely make this. trip worthwhile.
