Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

His vibrant spirit prompted him to pay attention to his appearance, deliberately shaving and tidying his hair.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

So, it was normal for Jane not to recognize him.

“It’s okay. I know Patrick is passionate about his work, so I understand that he forgot about me here due to work-related matters.”

“If he had left me here just to play around, I would not be pleased. But it seems like that won’t be an issue.”

The man explained because he saw Jane and Patrick together, and he already knew her identity.

This surprised Jane, as she had never met this person before, yet he could recognize her immediately and even knew Jane and Patrick’s identities.

It wouldn’t be strange for him to know their identities, as anyone who follows their company would know these details.

But the fact that he could recognize her, while Jane couldn’t recognize him, left her feeling puzzled.

“May I ask for your name? Patrick rushed off and didn’t have time to introduce you to me. I should properly attend to you.”

Jane felt a little embarrassed, feeling awkward as if she had greeted a very unfamiliar person on the street who then showed great concern for her.

The man had not yet replied when Patrick entered the meeting room.

The first sentence he spoke immediately revealed the man’s identity, making Jane feel even more embarrassed.

“Dad, why didn’t you go to the office to find me while waiting for so long?”

The man looked at Patrick and replied with a smile, “I didn’t want to disturb your work! You didn’t even introduce me properly.”

Patrick quickly introduced the man in front of them as his father, and Jane apologized with embarrassment.

Patrick’s father didn’t pay much attention to these details.

“It’s normal not to know each other. We know each other now, and this time I am prepared to stay longer. We’ll have more chance to get to know each other.”

Patrick and Jane chatted with his father on the side, and Patrick explained what he had been doing.

“Your eye for talent is not bad. This variety show hasn’t fully taken off yet, so participating now is the best.”

“Once this show really catches fire, it will be difficult to get your people involved again. It’s better to get familiar first and have the chance to participate later.”

Patrick nodded, thinking the same. He knew that foreign programs would choose those who were popular in previous episodes to participate again.

As long as his artist performed well, it would be fine.

While chatting, Jane asked about the situation of the villa the assistant had arranged, and when she got a response, she asked about the situation at the booked hotel.

Patrick overheard Jane’s question.

“Dad, let’s go out for dinner tonight, then we’ll stay at our villa and stay at home tomorrow.”

Patrick’s father had no objections, just nodded. After a while, they chatted more and the atmosphere became more harmonious, which made Patrick very happy.

It was because Jane could have such enjoyable interaction with his father that he felt at ease.

He was afraid that Jane’s first contact with his father would be awkward, and if both sat here and weren’t sure what to say to each other, it would be really uncomfortable. After all, this was his father, and as the first blending into this family, he still hoped that his father could approve of Jane. Of course, he also hoped that his father would approve of Jane so that he could feel better. The current situation seemed very good.

When the conversation was almost over, everyone went to the restaurant together. Jane introduced the overall situation of the restaurant to Patrick’s father, who nodded.

“There’s really no need to go through all this trouble. We can eat Chinese food back at home. In recent years, I’ve been eating Western food abroad because some people make poor Chinese food. It’s not the taste of our hometown. So, I gradually got used to eating Western food. It doesn’t mean that I really love the taste of Western food.”

Patrick’s father said that he missed the taste of Chinese food, and each time he returned to China, he would find the opportunity to taste it.

When Patrick heard this, he realized that he had made a mistake in his arrangements. It wasn’t that his father had a particular liking for Western food, but rather that he couldn’t eat authentic Chinese food abroad. So, they had to settle for eating Western food. Now, Patrick’s smile grew wider.

If his father really wanted to eat Chinese food, that would be very simple.

“Tomorrow afternoon, we can have Chinese food at home. Although our chef may not guarantee that it will be delicious, it will surely let you taste the flavor of our hometown.”

Patrick said with a smile.

“It doesn’t matter what we eat. The most important thing is that I want to spend time with my children and grandchildren and enjoy family time. I want to relish the joy of family life.”

Patrick’s father’s face displayed a kind smile. When he looked at Jane, it was as if he were looking at his own child. When he looked at Patrick, he had the same sense of contentment.

“Why don’t I have my father, Johnny Pansy, stay with you for a few days? This way, you two can liven things up a bit, and it won’t be so chaotic for you when the children are around.”

Jane suggested that her father accompany Patrick’s father. She thought it would show hospitality, as young people have common topics of conversation, and the same is true for the elderly. Besides, Jane’s father hadn’t seen Patrick’s father in recent years, so this was a good opportunity for them to communicate.

If they could get along well, it would give them a chance to grow old together. What Jane said was not wrong. When two children are playing about, having an older person around would be very troublesome.
