Chapter 430: It Turns Out He Didn’t Get Any Good Things
Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!
âHow could anyone not like me when Iâm this cute!â Morgan Zhekova held his head high and squared his shoulders, oozing with confidence, âDad, even when you didnât know I was your little darling, you still liked me a lot, didnât you?â
Adrian Zhekova felt sick at the sound of âlittle darlingâ from Morgan. Where on earth did this kid get such confidence from! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBack then, you were always thinking of me! And you would hold me up high!â The more Morgan spoke, the more confident he became. He raised his little hand in a nonchalant gesture and combed his hair, âAnyway, you just need to bring me back, and Iâll handle the rest!â
Adrian Zhekova:
Ha-ha!
Wasnât this the same boy who stood pale-faced at the door, utterly nervous, just moments ago?
Butler Howard:
Even if you put appearance aside, this kid is surely from the Zhekova Family. Thereâs no doubt about it.
His narcissistic manner is so much like Adrian Zhekova.
And the stubbornness, heâs clearly inherited that from the Old Master.
With these thoughts, a hint of a smile cracked on Butler Howardâs face.
So, it seems this little guy didnât inherit any of their good traits?
Instead, he inherited Adrianâs narcissism and the Old Masterâs stubbornness.
The destructive power of these traits is really impressive!
Cindy Clarke couldnât help but laugh and seemed to relax quite a bit.
Chatting this way, they inched their way to the front of the Main Hall.
Butler Howard opened the door and announced,âOld Master, Old Madam, Sir, Mrs., Young Master and Miss Clarke have arrived, along with Young Master Morgan.â
After saying this, Butler Howard stepped aside.
Cindy Clarke, gripping Morganâs hand, followed Adrian Zhekova into the room.
Inside the room were the old couple, Maverick Zhekova, and Victoria Wheeler.
The Old Madam, as always, was grinning ear to ear and full of pep.
The Old Master was quite imposing, but probably due to Butler Howardâs introduction on the journey.
At this moment, although Cindy Clarke was a bit nervous seeing the Old Master, she wasnât fearful anymore.
She just regarded him as an adorable elderly relative.
Everyoneâs attention soon converged on Morgan.
Seeing everyone looking at him, the poor child got so nervous that he froze in place.
âYouâve scared Morgan.â Surprisingly, it was the Old Master who spoke up first, âAct with some restraint!â
Morgan was a bit rigid from nerves before, but he was okay.
Who would have known that the Old Masterâs sudden shout would make him almost jump up in fright.
His tiny figure trembled a bit, his face showed signs of lingering fear.
Especially when the young ladâs large, rolling eyes, clear and distinct, were widened in surprise from the shock.
Everyoneâs hearts melted at the sight.
The Old Madam was heartbroken, she glared at the Old Master, âYouâre the scariest! What are you yelling for!â
The Old Master:
He had just been too excited and couldnât contain himself.
Plus, when people get old, itâs hard to control the volume of their voice, isnât it?
From the moment he heard about Cindy Clarke and Morgan from Old Mr. Smith this morning, he had been looking forward to their arrival.
He had reservations about Cindy Clarke at first. He felt that Adrian Zhekovaâs evaluation of her would certainly be biased because of his affection for her.
Isnât it common for people in love, especially those in the throes of passion, to lose their heads?
They see everything about the other person as appealing, even their flaws can become charming traits.
The Old Master firmly believed that he understood the nuances of love.
So, he didnât completely trust what Adrian Zhekova said.
Adrian Zhekova found everything about Cindy Clarke to be good because he liked her.
The Old Master also didnât completely believe what the Old Madam and Victoria Wheeler said.
