His Domineering Lover
Chapter 531

It was snowing heavier and heavier, and the city was bursting with happiness. Tracey and Adam were heading for the Xia's for dinner.

Johan asked Tracey to invite Adam home for dinner but emphasized that he was not celebrating a foreign festival.

Getting out of the car, Tracey and Adam saw two huge Christmas trees outside the villa, and there were colored lanterns and some baubles on them. Usually, the Christmas tree should be in the house, but Johan placed the two ones in the courtyard, which seemed funny.

Tracey checked the small cards hanging on the trees. Most contents on the cards were blessings for Tracey, such as wish my granddaughter happiness. The loneliness loomed larger and larger when one got old. Her guilty conscience stirred as Tracey was too busy to keep her grandfather accompany. The housekeeper was waiting at the door. After taking off her coat and gloves, Tracey rushed to her grandfather happily.

"Grandpa..."

Tracey heard his voice before seeing Johan, "Checkmate! Your turn." Johan sounded excited.

"Grandpa, are you playing Chinese chess?" Tracey found Aydan when getting close to Johan. Johan was not on good terms with Aydan, so how come they play chess together today? Both old men were hot-tempered, so they quarreled more often than not whenever they stayed together.

Adam came over with some presents in his hand, "Grandpa, these are my... Dad, what are you doing here?" Adam found Aydan and felt stunned before finishing his greetings to Johan. Aydan stared at the presents in Adam's hand. Since young, Adam did not get along well with Aydan. So, that Adam gave Johan presents surprised Aydan.

Aydan felt jealous, as Adam, his own child, never gave him a present. However, he felt relieved when his past deeds came across his mind.

'Did Adam call me Dad just now? It has been a long time since the last time he did so. Tracey improves him a lot!'

"Why can't I be here? You have presents for others, then where is mine?" Aydan looked at Adam angrily.

"Others? They have been engaged." Johan glared at Aydan again. These two old men didn't change at all, as old habits died hard. After a soft chuckle, Tracey walked to Johan in this stalemate, "Grandpa, what are you doing? Awesome, you are winning, Grandpa!"

"That's a sure thing. How could he be a match for me?" Johan's eyes were filled with smiles.

Tracey continued, "But it's not dead- end, flying Horse." Tracey moved a black Horse, as a result, the Cannon in the field of Aydan didn't dare to attack without the assistance of Horse. "Well, Chariot, and checkmate!" Johan moved one Chariot.

Tracey was calm, "Soldier."

"Horse."

"Flying Elephant."

"You girl, how can you help others? A true gentleman should keep silent while watching a chess game!" Johan's victory at hand disappeared, for Tracey relieved the crisis for Aydan with several moves. "Grandpa, I'm a little girl, not a gentleman. Uncle Aydan, enjoy your game. I'll make tea for you." Tracey ended on a good note, as she was afraid that her grandfather, who was obsessed with chess, would warn her with a cane.

"Humph,

I like Tie Guanyin." Johan's anger subsided a little.

"Got you. What about you, Uncle Aydan?"

"I... whatever." Aydan was amazed at the close relationship between Johan and Tracey. In a wealthy and influential family, the descendants dreaded their hierarch.

The hierarchs became cold and aloof after business trials. And they were smileless at home and had a quick temper.

Their smiles could be shared with their clients, not their family, so the young descendants dreaded their fathers or grandfathers.

The family atmosphere was cold in these rich and powerful families, unlike the loving and carefree one between Johan and Tracey.

Aydan thought of his own children. Adam had been cold and seldom smiled since his mother died.

Then Adam left the Sheng family before growing up. Apart from Adam, Sean was outstanding among the Shengs. He didn't dread Aydan. But his respect for Aydan resulted in a serious relationship between them.

Aydan felt envious and jealous of Johan. He couldn't enjoy such a warm family atmosphere, though respected by others. Could it be retribution for what he did when young?

"He likes coffee, no sugar." Adam, who stood silently beside Aydan, knew his taste.

When getting old, one liked tea. However, it was a reversed case for Aydan. Aydan liked coffee. And Adam knew the reason.

His mother grew up abroad. She led a western life, though having an eastern face. She hated tea and loved coffee.

Love might change one person in both personality and hobby.

Therefore, Aydan learned to drink coffee under the influence of Emery. Aydan spent most of his life abroad, for he would like to stay close to the life Emery once enjoyed, though he had no idea where Emery's family came from.

In some way, Aydan loved Emery, but they were born at a bad age, and he loved her in the wrong way.

Aydan shot a glance at Adam. He didn't expect that this child who hated him so much would actually remember his taste and preference.

"Okay, wait a minute." Tracey walked away with a smile. It was supposed that Adam was cold-blooded for his abandoning his family name and refusal to go home for so many years.

In fact, Adam had forgiven Aydan. No matter how Adam changed, he could not change the blood flowing in his body.

Learning that Aydan got cancer, Adam would like to change his relationship with Aydan.

Tracey hoped that Adam had no regret about his father as he did for his mother.

She knew that Adam had forgiven Aydan in his heart. It was just that he didn't know how to get along with his father. 'It doesn't matter. In the future, I will serve as the lubricant for the father and son.
