In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 483 Häagen-Dazs

Grace nodded repeatedly and called the waiter so she could order two ice cream sets.

"Xander, try this! It's strawberry-flavored, and this is vanilla. This one's chocolate …"

Xander held a spoon and took a bite as Grace watched him in anticipation. "How is it? Does it taste good?"

Xander assented. "It's not bad."

Grace was delighted. "I knew you would like it." RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Xander took another spoonful and ate it. "The flavor is very good. No wonder you like it so much."

"Right? Not only does their ice cream taste good, they also have great advertising slogans."

As she spoke, Grace found one of the ice cream boxes. There were a series of advertising slogans printed on it. "Among cars, it's the Rolls Royce, but ice cream has Häagen-Dazs.

"Oh, and this one: 'every moment with you is a moment with love. I'll care for you attentively at the most unexpected moments'.

"If you love her, buy her Häagen-Dazs."

Xander was silent for a moment.

Grace counted all the ice cream boxes in the set. There was a different slogan printed on each box.

"Look, it's actually pretty innovative," she said earnestly. She didn't realize that a box of vanilla ice cream had caught Xander's attention.

On the box was the slogan, "If you love her, buy her Häagen-Dazs."

…

That night, when Xander got home, he came with a delivery staff member from the electronic appliances store. He instructed the man, "Carry this fridge up to the second-floor bedroom."

Hestia heard the noise and came out from the kitchen. When she saw the newly bought fridge, she couldn't help but ask, "What did you buy this fridge for, Xander?"

"Oh, it's to store stuff."

Hestia was even more curious. "Don't we have a fridge at home? What's this one for?"

Xander pointed to the boxes of ice cream that the store had sent over and said, "There, it's for storing ice cream."

Hestia was even more surprised. In fact, she had a look of disbelief on her face. "Son, I thought you didn't like desserts. Why did you buy so much ice cream today?"

There were so many large boxes. How long would it take to eat them all?

Xander's expression didn't change. "I tried it today, and it tastes pretty good. Do you want to try it, Mom?"

"No, I don't eat this stuff." Although Hestia refused, she still couldn't stop Xander from giving her a box.

After Hestia had a bite, she looked delighted. "This ice cream is pretty good. Give me another box."

When Xander heard that, he hid all the ice cream as if it were a treasure.

"Mom, if you want to eat it, then tell Dad to buy it for you."

Hestia complained, "It's just a box of ice cream!"

Xander put all the ice cream in the fridge. His eyes radiated joy as he looked at the fully-stocked fridge.

…

On the weekend, Xander invited the two Lewis brothers to his house to play games.

Caleb began complaining the moment he entered, saying, "Xander, we just have so much homework this week. I feel like I don't even have time to play games anymore."

Xander hadn't noticed what Caleb was saying. He craned his neck and looked behind them, but there was no sign of the person he was anticipating.

Victor followed his gaze and teased, "Xander, what are you looking at?"

Xander looked away and said expressionlessly, "Why didn't Gracie come over with you today?"

Victor smiled knowingly and raised his eyebrows. "Are you saying that you won't welcome us if Gracie doesn't come?"
