Chapter 52
"No, no, no, a private matter is a private matter, and the secret recipe for barbecue is a bet." When it came to the secret recipe for barbecue, Grandma Connie became serious: "There are still two days until the end of this week. Wish that little fat guy good luck!"

Mentally, Grandma Connie is still looking down on George.

The mother-in-law and son-in-law dislike each other, which is probably the case.

Seeing that Mike still wanted to persuade, the shrewd grandma continued: "I have something to do tomorrow, so I will go to rest first, and you should rest early."

It has a great influence in the Millikin Church. Grandma Mary and Connie will be responsible for the catering of the believers tomorrow, which is considered an important and sacred thing.

After speaking, Grandma Connie hurried back to the room without giving Mike a chance to refute.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Mike shook his head helplessly.I planned in my heart, or I would write down the secret recipe myself, and then send it to George as Connie's grandma.

In this way, the conflict between the two should be alleviated.

In the end, however, Mike rejected the idea.

Not to mention that doing so is easy to expose the truth, and after the incident is exposed, it is very likely that I will make trouble inside and out.

"Ah~" Considering all the disadvantages, Mike sighed, lamenting that he is a "selfish" person after all.

He is not willing to do things that are thankless.

Besides, on George's side, despite Mary's objection, he took two bottles of beer from the refrigerator, sat on the recliner in the backyard, and drank beer while enjoying the cool air.

However, the leisurely enjoyment he had enjoyed in the past made him unable to feel comfortable at all today.

He was still thinking about the conflicts in his family. In fact, he didn't want to quarrel with Connie and Mary, but he wanted the approval and attention of his family too much.

"Damn barbecue~" Thinking of the depression, George hammered hard on the small table at hand.

Amidst the loud noise, George, who hadn't had combat training for a long time, folded his hands and blew air.

The joint between the palm and the wrist was a lot red.

"George, what happened?" Mary, who was packing the kitchen utensils in the kitchen, asked aloud when she heard the voice.

"It's okay~" George straightened the small table that had been overturned by the hammer, and responded to the other party.

"Huh~" After setting the table, George threw the beer bottle that fell to the ground and shattered into the trash can.After working for a long time, he lay down in the chair again.

Then, after he calmed down, he could feel his wife's concern for him.He also realized that all the conflicts in the family were caused by that damned "barbecue".

"By the way, barbecue." George had a flash of inspiration and came up with the idea of ​​the secret recipe for barbecue.

The more Grandma Connie didn't want to give it, the more George wanted to get the secret recipe.

Finally, he decided to sneak into Grandma Connie's house and secretly find out the secret recipe.

Thinking of this situation, Connie would definitely be angry, and George couldn't help showing a smirk on his face.

Before it was dark, George came to the door of Grandma Connie's house.Seeing that the light in the hall of Connie's house was dimmed, he first tried to knock lightly on the door.

Sure enough, no one responded.

This was exactly what George wanted. He skillfully took out the spare key from under the carpet at the door, and entered the house with his head poking around.

Then, he went to the kitchen of Connie's grandma's house in the dark.

……

"Karen, are you free tomorrow?" In the private room, Mike was calling Karen.

In order to facilitate communication, Mike bought a mobile phone specially.This is not difficult for him with a little money.

"I'm afraid not..." Karen on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment and continued: "Regina seems to have discovered something and is keeping a close eye on her now. The Devil Figure Group will have activities tomorrow and the day after tomorrow..."

"Okay, I'll make an appointment when I'm free." With the sound of kisses on the phone, Mike hung up the phone.

Karen is a good girl, she knows how to advance and retreat, and is not clingy, which is good.

And just when Mike was about to take a break, he suddenly heard a small sound outside.

There are thieves, this is Mike's first reaction.

Immediately, he picked up a wooden stick from the door, carefully pushed the door open, and followed the sound to find the kitchen.

In the dimness, you can see a fat figure rummaging for something on the kitchen table.

With his familiarity with George, Mike recognized him immediately.

"George, what are you doing?" Mike asked, turning on the light.

"I, I..." George covered his face with his hands, and explained falteringly: "I'm here to find coffee, yes, there is no coffee at home."

George saw the coffee powder on the table out of the corner of his eye and picked it up immediately.

"Really?" Mike asked with a half-smile.

"Yes, that's it!" George said with a flustered expression, "Okay, I got the coffee, I should go too."

"By the way, don't tell Connie about my visit." George asked before going out.

He realized that his clumsy performance might not fool Mike at all.

"Well, I see." Mike smiled, even if the other party didn't tell him, he wouldn't tell Grandma Connie about it.

It's kind of mean, but Mike wants the "bet" that George wins.

However, when Mike sent George out the door, when he turned around, he saw Grandma Connie leaning on the door frame of the aisle, looking at this side with a half-smile.

This scene is so familiar to Mike, he just looked at George that way.

"Grandma Connie, why aren't you asleep yet?" Mike blocked Connie's gaze with his body, and said without words.

"That was George just now, what was he doing here?" Grandma Connie didn't buy it and asked.

"Well, it's indeed George." Mike explained: "He ran out of coffee at home, so he came over to get some."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Grandma Connie revealed an inquiring look in her eyes.

Then, she went to the kitchen and straightened the small box where she kept the menu.

"Is he looking for this?" Grandma Connie took out a menu from her collar.

Depending on the situation, the shrewd grandma Connie had long thought that George would come to the house to steal the secret recipe, so she didn't put the secret barbecue recipe in the kitchen at all.

"Well, George really wanted to find the secret recipe. But I think his behavior is understandable." Mike didn't speak hard, and chose to show his cards.

"So, about the bet?" Grandma Connie asked with a smile.

"You've won." Mike was willing to admit defeat.

He wondered in his heart whether he should tell the other party honestly about his emotional life.

After all, it is still a bit embarrassing for Mike to speak out about such a private matter.

"Okay, go back and rest." Grandma Connie enjoyed the betting process and did not forcefully ask about Mike's private life.

Mike, who was relieved, said something more: "I think you can think about the secret recipe of barbecue."

"Well, I see." Grandma Connie replied, her eyes turned deep when she looked outside the door.

……

George, who failed to steal the secret recipe, took another bottle of beer from the refrigerator and went to the backyard.

While he was drinking, Grandma Connie came over with two bottles of beer.

"Here~" Grandma Connie handed George a bottle of beer.

"Even if you pass me a drink, I won't like you." George took the beer and said the truth.

"Then add this?" Grandma Connie smiled, and took out a secret recipe from her collar.

To put it bluntly, there wasn't much conflict between the two of them.And, after all, they were family.

After George passed the appraisal and confirmed that the secret recipe this time was true, all the previous resentment was relieved at this moment.

Then, he stood up and hugged Grandma Connie.
