Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 543 - 542: Someone Asked Me to Do It

Ethan Grant got into the house so quickly and even earned the approval of First Mrs. Sterling!

No matter how unhappy James Sterling was, it was useless that Eldest Master Sterling and Second Master Sterling didn’t want to accept this brother-in-law; First Mrs. Sterling was the one in charge of the household!

When Ethan Grant came in, he noticed this point immediately. So he targeted First Mrs. Sterling and winningly called her "Mom" repeatedly.

Regarding Ethan Grant’s swift success in winning over First Mrs. Sterling, Serena Sullivan merely chuckled without saying a word. It wasn’t her first time witnessing Ethan’s shamelessness and she had gotten used to it.

Ethan Grant had an especially good appetite during that meal.

This wasn’t his first time having dinner with Serena’s family. Four years ago, he had already brought things over to The Sullivan Residence to see Mr. Sullivan and Claire Sullivan and had dinner with them.

Being acknowledged and satisfied—those feelings had been missing for a long time, so a joyful Ethan Grant finished two bowls of rice, and still wanted more.

Outside, he and Serena had already had a meal, but Serena didn’t have much appetite, and was purely accompanying Mindy Sterling and Mrs. Sterling in conversation.

James Sterling along with Eldest Master and Second Master Sterling watched Ethan Grant as he nearly ate their whole house and really wanted to kick him out.

What a glutton!

"Dad’s cooking is delicious."

Ethan Grant was adept at flattery, hitting a nerve that made James Sterling find it hard to get angry.

"If it’s delicious, then eat more,"

First Mrs. Sterling said with a smile.

"Mom, you’re so lucky to be able to eat Dad’s cooking every day."

James Sterling had excellent cooking skills, which was the foundation for their couple-run restaurant.

Since the restaurant was running smoothly, James Sterling trained apprentices and now mostly oversaw the kitchen; he rarely cooked himself.

At home, he was still the cook and First Mrs. Sterling had never stepped into the kitchen once.

"If you like it, then come over for meals more often."

First Mrs. Sterling continued, which made Ethan Grant smile at Serena joyfully.

Being able to dine at Deepwood every day, and being with Serena daily, made him very content.

Throughout the meal, Ethan Grant ate the most, and despite their dissatisfaction with him, James Sterling, Eldest Master Sterling, and Second Master Sterling didn’t dare to be overly difficult at the table. The atmosphere was overall pleasant.

After dinner, James Sterling directly addressed Ethan Grant, who was chatting with Serena, "Today, you wash the dishes."

You ate so much, you practically ate up all their rice!

In the past, dishwashing was James Sterling’s task, then Eldest Master Sterling and Second Master Sterling took turns, but from today onwards, this chore should shift to Ethan Grant.

First Mrs. Sterling disagreed, "Ethan is a guest."

"Eldest Master, you go."

"I’ll do it! I’ll do it!"

Ethan Grant stood up, rolled up his sleeves, worried that Eldest Master Sterling and others might compete with him for it, and quickly stacked the dishes and carried them to the kitchen.

He wasn’t a guest; he was part of the family.

Seeing Ethan Grant actively doing things made First Mrs. Sterling very satisfied, she smiled and told Serena, "He can wash dishes, not bad!"

Serena smiled lightly, "It’s okay!"

"Mom, your standards are too low. Just being able to wash dishes is enough?"

Second Master Sterling spoke discontentedly, no matter how he looked at it, he felt Ethan Grant wasn’t worthy of their sister.

"When you visit your mother-in-law’s house in the future, after dinner, never touch the dishes. Then we’ll see if they like you!"

First Mrs. Sterling’s standards were just that low: Ethan Grant calling her "Mom" and being able to wash dishes was enough.

Their opinions didn’t matter; Serena’s fondness was crucial.

Mindy Sterling had something going on and needed to leave first; Serena proactively offered to drive her back.

Mindy didn’t refuse; she had something to discuss privately with Serena.

"Back in Solaria, I mentioned to you that Mr. and Mrs. Preston were planning to hold their wedding anniversary celebration."

"Are you still interested?"

"Yes!"

Serena nodded. Initially, she felt she didn’t have many days to live and wouldn’t last long enough to design jewelry for Mrs. Preston. Now, she wanted to give it a try.

"In a couple of days, Mrs. Preston wants to host a small gathering; I’ll take you there." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Oh, Serena."

Mindy turned her head to glance at First Mrs. Sterling and other people standing a bit far off, and then whispered, "It was someone who asked me to take you as a student!"
