Chapter 227 Everyone Likes Ebony


"Bang!"


"Clang!"


Beau and Grace were awakened by the loud noise from downstairs.


Beau frowned. He got up as he looked at the clock on the bedside table and found that it was very early.


Before he got out of bed, he said to his wife, who was lying next to him, "You go back to sleep. I'll go check."


Grace rolled over. Her eyes were closed, and she hadn't wanted to get up.


"Bang, bang, bang!"


However, the noise from downstairs was getting louder and louder.


Grace got a little curious. Then she opened her eyes and sat up as she said, "I'll go see what's going on down here, too."


Then the couple went out together and saw Chasidah, who lived in the other guest room, coming out of her room with her coat on.


"Chasidah," Grace greeted. Then she walked over and took Chasidah's arm.


Beau was standing in front of the railing now. Then, he frowned as he looked down.


Chasidah and Grace then walked over to take a look too.


Lloyd and Ebony were fighting in the first-floor hall.


"Bang!"


There was another thud. Although the nunchaku did not hit Lloyd, it hit the door frame of the balcony, which made a loud noise.


Then Lloyd took hold of Ebony's sensitive wrist and explained, "I really didn't say that."


Ebony pushed his hand away. Then, she kicked him in the leg. As Lloyd tried to dodge her kick, Ebony snapped, "If you didn't say it, then who did? Virginia is still a child. How could she possibly understand this? How dare you run! Stop!"


Lloyd stood on the other side of the couch. He said helplessly toward the dining room, "Virginia, say something."


Virginia was eating noodles while sitting on the tall dining room chair.


After taking a bite, she tilted her head. After clicking her tongue, she pretended to persuade. "Ebony, Lloyd, stop fighting. Stop fighting over me."


Lloyd felt speechless.


At that moment, Ebony jumped up. Then, she supported the back of the sofa with one hand and jumped at Lloyd. At the same time, she threw her nunchaku and hit Lloyd right in the waist!


However, Lloyd dodged it.


Chasidah watched the dazzling scene for a while. Then she rubbed her eyes.


Grace scratched her face and said, "I thought something might have happened. It's okay. Chasidah, do you want to go back to sleep again? It's still early!"


Chasidah muttered a reply. She said, "I'll get some more sleep then."


When Chasidah returned to her room, Grace said to Beau, "Let's get some sleep too. You can finally get some sleep."


Beau didn't say anything. He just put his hands behind his back and watched Ebony and Lloyd fight from above.


Then Grace took him by the arm and said, "Come on."


Beau shook his head seriously and said, "You go ahead. I'll take another look. This nunchaku is too short. I should have given her a three-sectioned cudgel."


Grace slapped Beau on the arm and said, "What nunchucks? Don't you ever give her those weapons again! She's a girl. Are you really going to let her keep playing with knives and guns? Look how tired she is of beating Lloyd up!"


Beau didn't listen to her. Then, he also pointed at the upstairs and analyzed the fighting scene to Grace. "Look, she can obviously hit Llo's shoulder, but the nunchuck is too short, so it limits her skills. She let Llo get away again."


Grace said irritably, "Whatever!"


She said as she went back to her room and went back to sleep.


After a while, Grace felt Beau come back to bed.


She asked vaguely, "Are they done fighting?"


Beau said, "No. They went outside the house to fight, so I couldn't see."


Grace said indifferently, "Then go to sleep."


Then Beau and Grace went to sleep again.


It was two hours later when the three elders woke up again.


No one was fighting in the living room anymore.


Virginia was sitting on the couch watching cartoons.


Ebony was in the kitchen making porridge.


Lloyd was sitting alone in the dining room. He took the medical kit and twisted his hand to put medicine on the wound on his arm.


When Lloyd saw the elders coming downstairs, he reluctantly tied the bandage and got up. Then he greeted, "Dad, mom, Chasidah."


Chasidah muttered coldly. Deadpan, she passed him by and walked into the kitchen.


Grace ignored Lloyd and went straight into the kitchen.


Beau looked at the wound on Lloyd's arm with his hands behind his back. Then he asked, "How is it?"


Lloyd put his jacket on and said, "It's okay."


Beau asked, "It's not serious, is it?"


Lloyd said, "It's almost healed ."


Then Beau scolded, "Since your wound is almost recovered, why did you hide when Ebs hit you just now? She has moral ethics. And she certainly will not hit your wound. So what if you just stand still and let her hit you twice? She is not that strong. The way she hit you was just like a cat scratching you. You won't even feel the pain."


Lloyd felt speechless.


Then Lloyd looked at his father with a frown. After a moment of silence, he said, "She's carrying a weapon."


Beau said, "That nunchaku is so damn short. Is that a weapon? No more excuses."


Lloyd didn't make a sound. Then he just sat down and started packing the medical kit.


When he saw that Lloyd was upset that he was criticizing him, Beau said, "Don't pick on Ebs. She is very well-behaved. People with a decent character like her easily suffer losses in the outside world. You should care for her more and look after her. But you still keep bullying her. Don't you have a conscience?"


Lloyd raised his eyebrows and said, "I bully her?"


Beau said righteously, "If you don't bully her, how could she hit you? She's the most reasonable kid I've ever met! Lloyd, don't you dare argue with me!"


Lloyd turned his head away and stopped talking.


At that moment, Ebony came out of the kitchen with a pot of hot porridge.


The moment she came out, Chasidah and Grace followed her out with tissues and insisted on wiping her sweat.


Chasidah said, "Gee, how can you cook yourself? Aren't you tired?"


Grace said, "The maid will cook food for us. As a girl, you have to take care of your hands. Don't always do so much rough work. You have to love yourself."


Ebony felt a little embarrassed when she heard their enthusiastic persuasion. Then, she scratched her head and said, "I just happened to go and make porridge. I don't know if each of you likes the porridge I made. Please try it and see if it's delicious."


"It's definitely delicious!"


"It smells so good. How can your porridge not be delicious?"


"Come on. Gee, it's so yummy. I've never had such delicious porridge!"


"Ebs, sit down. Have you eaten? Come on! Have some. Have more food. Eat some meat. You're too skinny!"


Lloyd sat on the other side of the table. As he idly watched the scene, he didn't make a sound either. There were only four bowls on the table, so no one prepared his bowl either.


After breakfast, Chasidah took Ebony into the living room to chat.


At that moment, Chasidah's cell phone rang.


She picked it up and saw that it was Stewart who called her.


Then, Chasidah hung up the phone. She turned to Ebony and said bitterly, "Actually, I'm not happy right now. I was out all day last night, but no one called me from home. They don't really care about me at all."


Ebony looked seriously at Chasidah and frowned. "Is your current husband not treating you well?"


Chasidah laughed bitterly and shook her head.


At that moment, Chasidah's cell phone rang again. She had to take it out again and look at it.


When she saw that it was Stewart calling her again, she blacked out Stewart.


Then, Chasidah said to Ebony, "In fact, men are jerks. Ebs, you must not follow my steps. I got married too early. I always regret it. I hope you get married later. You'd better fall in love later. I think 40 is the most beautiful age for a woman. You should fall in love when you are 39. What do you say?"


Ebony looked at Chasidah with some surprise.


And Lloyd, who was wiping the table, suddenly looked up. He looked toward the living room with his dark eyes. Then, he was rendered speechless.
