Chapter 76

Chapter 76 This stupid mouth of Stefan! Why did he have to curse his son to death? “I don’t think it’s necessary, right?”

Sami half–closed his eyes and raised his eyebrows coldly. “This lowly life. of mine must be kept well for you. Otherwise, when you need family members to bury you in the future, I’m really afraid that big brother and the others can’t do it. In the end, you still have to rely on me, this unfilial son.”

“Brat, you dare to bury me? I’ll slap you!”

Stefan was furious. He shouted for Butler Tim to punish Sami as he wished he could take off the hand–made leather shoes on his feet and throw them on Sami’s smiling face!

Oscar and Riley had a good fight. Helena and Freya also came up to persuade them, but they could not extinguish Stefan’s anger.

Suddenly, a voice as gentle as the water came weakly.

“That... the dishes are ready. Shall we eat?”

The noisy crowd quieted down and turned their heads in unison.

They saw that Third Madam, Sia, was wearing an apron and holding a spatula in her hand. Her delicate skin was oily and she was looking at everyone in a daze.

Grrrr... Stefan’s stomach roared in anger.

“Eat! Eat now! Only when I’m full will I have the strength to deal with you, little bastard!”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and accompanied Stefan to the dining room to eat.

“Fourth brother, you were a little too funny just now. Dad is a big–hearted person, but you can’t say that.” Oscar looked at Sami earnestly.

“Who told you that I was joking? I know it very well.” Sami raised his eyebrows.

“Sami.” Oscar’s expression suddenly changed, and his eyes were as cold as the cold wind.

“Tsk, why are you so harsh on me? He was the one who first cursed me into a black–and–white photo, and I was rushing to say something.....

10.32 Alright, alright, I won’t say it again. Big brother, don’t look at me like that. I will have nightmares tonight.”

Sami sucked in a breath of cold air and immediately became obedient, muttering as he walked in the direction of the restaurant.

Oscar’s gaze softened again, and he helplessly sighed as he followed behind.

“Tsk tsk, it really is funny. Only big brother can handle this fourth brother. With a warning look, he immediately became as obedient as a quail.”

Riley imitated his big brother’s appearance. His thick eyebrows pressed down, and he exerted his eyesight to the best of his ability. “It seems that I have to practice big brother’s extremely lethal eyes. Let’s see if fourth brother still dares to be arrogant with me!”

“Don’t practice anymore.” Chloe glanced at him in disgust.

Tonight, Stefan was in a particularly good mood. He drank so much that his face was flushed. He drank one cup after another.

Helena tried to persuade him several times, but she could not persuade him at all. Even though there was no communication between the father and son at the table, who could not see that Stefan was really excited that Sami could come back to see him.

He repeatedly looked at Fourth when others were not paying attention, as if the person sitting there was his sweetheart.

Sami was keenly aware of this deep gaze, but he avoided it.

His father could not help but feel disappointed.

Chloe’s heart was as thin as a strand of hair, and she captured these details with great agility. She felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart. She knew that the knot in her fourth brother’s heart remained tightly bound, and he still harbored resentment towards Stefan for not being able to devote his entire life to loving their mother.

Thorp Group was large, wealthy enough to rival a country. Not to mention eight children, even if there were eight more, it would still be endless.

As the helmsman of KS, Stefan was elegant, charming, and loyal. When he was young, he had been repeatedly assassinated to avert disaster. When he was middle–aged, he had created miracles on the business field 10:52 several times.

This kind of man was almost perfect. His only flaw was that he was fickle in love.

No one was perfect, no one was perfect.

When Chloe was a child, she was like Fourth Brother, crying and complaining, but now, she was almost relieved.

Because she could not change, she could not give up, and she could not be at ease.

Chloe did not ask Fourth Brother to forgive Stefan, nor would she find excuses for her father’s perverted behavior. She just hoped that Fourth Brother would be able to see through all of this and stop making things difficult for himself. He would slowly walk out of the shadow of his original family.

When the meal was almost finished, Sami burped happily.

“Don’t say it, that concubine’s cooking skills are really not bad. I ate three bowls of rice tonight, and the amount of exercise tomorrow has to be increased.”

“Fourth Brother, don’t always call her a concubine. Sia is also a pitiful person.” Chloe took a sip of the red wine with a complicated look in her eyes.

“No matter how wretched she was before, after joining Stefan, she felt proud and joyous. Stefan’s Fourth Madam is quite the show–off. How much more of a show–off would she be if I said it out loud?”

Sami narrowed his handsome eyes and said coldly, “Little sister, shouldn’t the most pitiful person be our mother? When the whole family was happy, Stefan slept with this madam tonight and that madam tomorrow night, did he still have his wife in his heart?”

Chloe’s heart ached. The sadness in her eyes formed a haze that could not be dispelled. “Of course I miss mom. But fourth brother, mother is no longer here. As children, we have to gradually learn to mature and learn to accept reality.”

“We are Thorp Group’s children. Everything about Thorp Group still needs to be protected by us. The living can only look forward.”

“You can, but I can’t. I am a wild child who sleeps in memories and will never wake up. You are still the closest people to me, but this is no longer my home.”

10:52 The brother and sister were silent for a while.

“Okay, okay, little sister, don’t be unhappy. Whatever you do, fourth brother will respect your choice.”

Seeing that Chloe’s eyes were red, Sami hurriedly hugged the child and coaxed her in a gentle tone, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Fourth Brother will tell you something fun. Joseph is here.”

“What?”

Chloe’s heart was beating wildly, and she shouted in fear!

Everyone was also shocked.

“Little girl, what are you doing? Are you possessed by a ghost?” Stefan frowned.

“She’s not possessed by a ghost. I’m the one who told my little sister a ghost story. Haha, I didn’t expect her to be so scared...”

Sami smiled and pulled her to sit down.

“Don’t joke with me like this! This is even more terrifying than a ghost story!” Chloe gritted her teeth and gasped.

“If you don’t believe me, go outside and take a look. Maybe he is still standing there. But don’t worry, that son of a bitch probably doesn’t know your real identity yet. He probably followed you and big brother’s car all the way here.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the phone on the table shook.

She took a deep breath and slowly turned the phone over as if she was pulling out her trump card.

The phone number that was so familiar that it couldn’t be more familiar pierced into her eyes. Chloe took a deep breath and directly hung up. However, the next second, Joseph called again.

Seeing that this dog man was not going to give up tonight, Chloe could only get up and go to the corner to answer the phone.

She lowered her voice. “Hello.”

“Are you feeling better?” Joseph’s magnetic voice was accompanied by the cold evening wind in Haicheng.

Chloe’s heart trembled, and she pursed her lips.

“I’m at Thorp family’s door. Come out.”

The man’s voice was as cold as ever, and even had a commanding tone.

10:52 Chloe’s chest was filled with irritation. This man had given all the gentleness he had to Grace. He was always so cold to her. She did not owe him anything. Now that they were divorced, they had nothing to do with each other. He was even less qualified to be so rude to her.

Smelly man!

“Tonight, President Thorp will take me to the family banquet. Thorp family members are all here, so I can’t go out.” Chloe replied with an even colder attitude than him.

At this moment, Joseph, who was standing in the cold wind, swayed slightly. It was like a muffled thunder had exploded in his ears.

Thorp family banquet?

At this moment, he clearly heard the laughter of Thorp family coming from the other side of the line.

“Why are you standing here? The dessert is coming up. Why don’t you go over and have some?”

It was a woman’s gentle urging.

“Got it. I’ll be there soon.”

When Joseph heard her reply with a smile, Tan Hei’s pupils contracted. Countless complex emotions rose up in his eyebrows and then came back to his heart.

The tender moment that Raya felt at this moment was something he had never experienced in his life.

He had never gotten it himself, so how could he give it to her?

“Mr. Sawle, it’s not convenient for me to talk here, and I can’t meet you tonight. Let’s talk about it when I get back to Medo. That’s it.”

“Raya!” Joseph’s voice was hoarse.

Chloe’s breathing sank. His overly intense call caused her to clench her fingers. It was as if his slightly sand–like palm had already tightly grasped her wrist.

“Come out to see me, or I will go in to find you. You choose!”

Joseph took a deep breath. His limbs were cold as if he was in an ice cave, but his mind was hot.

At this moment, he did not care. He really wanted to take her home.
