Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Isnât this too much of a fuss!
âMaster Adrian.â Sheldon Rowland saw him and quickly stood up to greet him.
âMr. Zhekova.â Peggy Lewis also stood up to say hello.
âUncle!â The little guy was still very happy when he saw Adrian Zhekova.
Adrian Zhekova couldnât help but smile, lowering his head to tousle the little oneâs hair.
He immediately called out, âGrandmother, Mom.â
Behind him, Billy Houston and the others greeted the Old Madam and Victoria Wheeler one by one.
Old Madam laughed and said, âWe just came to watch the fun. Donât mind us. You all go about your business.â
Billy Houston and the others knew that the Old Madam didnât really want to be bothered by them either.
Meanwhile, Michael Greene and others had to get ready for the live broadcast.
So they left first.
âWhy are you all here?â Adrian Zhekova helplessly asked them.
âDidnât I tell you when Cindy was at our house that I would come to her competition?â The Old Madam blamed Adrian and gave him a look, âYou actually forgot?â
âNo.â Adrian Zhekova pinched his brow, âI just didnât think you would really come. â
âIâm a person who sticks to my word.â Old Madam claimed, keeping her promise!
âMom, why did you come too?â At this point, Adrian Zhekova felt like his head was about to explode.
He just wanted to take the opportunity to spend more time with Cindy Clarke, but now it has turned into a mini Zhekova family gathering. Seriously? âWhy canât I come?â Victoria Wheeler sneaked a glance at Morgan Zhekova.
The little guy was curiously watching at the moment.
Victoria Wheeler whispered, âHow long did you intend to keep this from us?â
âI didnât want to keep it from you.â Adrian Zhekova said helplessly, âI just think the time isnât right.â
âWhat timing?â Victoria Wheeler felt like this was just Adrianâs stalling tactic.
âIâll tell you tonight.â Adrian Zhekova said.
Victoria Wheeler and Old Madam were finally somewhat satisfied with this answer.
Since Morgan was here now, they didnât want to ask too much.
So they temporarily put it aside.
Seeing Adrian Zhekova coming over, Sheldon Rowland and Peggy Lewis moved aside to make room for Adrian to sit next to Morgan.
âBy the way, did you just go see Cindy?â The Old Madam remembered that Adrian Zhekova had just come with Billy Houston.
It seemed like they had come from the backstage area.
âYes, I went straight to the backstage.â Adrian Zhekova said, which was why he hadnât noticed the Old Madam and Victoria Wheeler earlier.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have been so surprised.
This time, their conversation wasnât in a low voice.
So even Morgan, who was munching on potato chips nearby, heard it.
âUncle, why didnât you tell me you were going to see Cindy!â Morgan complained from the side.
âI arrived too late and didnât have time to come over so I went straight to the backstage.â Adrian Zhekova explained patiently for once.
âThen how is Cindy? Is she nervous? Was she bullied?â Morgan hurriedly asked.
âWho would dare bully her with me around?â Adrian Zhekova raised his eyebrows and said, âAs for whether sheâs nervous or not, I couldnât tell. The contestants were busy preparing to go on stage, so I didnât stay for long. There were too many people backstage, so it wasnât convenient to talk.â
When Adrian Zhekova talked with Morgan, it didnât feel like he was talking to a child at all.
It was completely like having a conversation with someone on an equal footing.
âBesides, I didnât dare to act too familiar with Cindy, for fear that other contestants would think her achievements were fake and that she only made it this far because of her connections.â Adrian Zhekova explained..
