Chapter 27 The Deer Penis Soup
The Duncans didn't have many members, and the exquisitely decorated French style dining hall was gorgeous but empty. "Jane, eat more. I asked Lainey, she said the food you ate in the hospital was too bland and you have lost a lot of weight."
At the dining table, Colin kept picking Jane food. He was so enthusiastic that Jane couldn't take it.
The female lead had such a caring elder and Jane realized that she had an advantage. When she was hospitalized, she got a lot fatter, but the old man insisted on saying the opposite. "Grandpa, less food at dinner is good for health."
Jane was helpless. She often watched programs about health on TV and there was a scientific basis for this.
Colin's views were traditional, and he was reluctant to change until his personal physician warned him when he felt unwell.
"Alright, for good health."
Colin wouldn't listen to anyone but Jane. After Jane was discharged, the tense atmosphere in the Duncan's was finally removed.
The servants had mixed feelings towards Jane. On the one hand, Madam was picky and hard to cater to, but on the other, they had to admit that with Madam around, the old man would be in a better mood and would be easier to deal with.
Halfway through dinner, Lainey brought a bowl of soup to William.
"William, don't just focus on eating. Drink the soup."
Colin looked at William, and his gaze made William feel that something was wrong. He looked down at the soup, and his face immediately darkened.
"Just drink it. I specially asked Lainey to cook it for you. There are dozens of precious medicinal ingredients in it."
Seeing that his grandson wouldn't give him face and that he couldn't throw a tantrum, Colin had no choice but to persuade.
"Grandfather, what soup is it? Can I drink?"
William stared at the soup in the bowl with a complicated expression. The atmosphere was awkward.
Jane didn't know what was going on, so she mediated. Right now, she only hoped to get along with William and avoid the divorce.
It was about her life, and she couldn't afford to offend William.
"You can't."
Unexpectedly, William responded to Jane, and he drank the soup while being stared at by Colin.
The deer penis soup was a great tonic. The old man suspected that he lived separately from Jane because of impotence? Thinking of this, William had a weirder look.
Forget it. He seldom came back. Offending the old man was not a good idea and he would drink it.
Dayton did not know what it was, but he was sensible and did not ask.
After dinner, the old man pretended to focus on the news on TV. Seeing Lainey coming out of the kitchen, he gestured at her.
"Have you put all the medicinal ingredients I asked in?"
The old man had a meaningful expression on his face. He had Todd, the driver, keep an eye on the apartment William lived in near the Duncan Tower and did not find any traces of women there. Married for six years, they only slept together once. What did that mean? His grandson may like men!
This was incredible! Although he already had Dayton, he wanted more.
If William liked men... Colin didn't dare to think further.
His grandson just worked with the men around him, and among them, Frederic had been with him for the longest time.
Colin suspected that his grandson had fallen for Frederic. Later, he asked someone to investigate. Frederic had a girlfriend, and their relationship was stable. They would get married.
Back then, he couldn't find an opportunity, but now that Jane had been discharged from hospital, this was a good chance to develop their relationship!
"Master Duncan, don't worry, I've put them all in."
Lainey muttered. She just saw William drank it all. With so many medicinal ingredients in it, he would probably have a nosebleed.00000
