LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Night falls.

At the supermarket.

Don had already learned that Norman was out of danger.

But his mood remained heavy.

Because he had already said it. He and the Knowles family were no longer related!

Carol saw Don drowning his sorrows in alcohol and sighed.

“Alright, don’t be angry. Leaving them is a good thing.”

“It’s just that I feel sorry for our daughter.”

“I originally thought that our wholehearted care for your father in the hospital during this time would touch him, and he would allow Lyvia to join his company in the future.”

“After all, Lyvia has been in a coma for seven years, and it’s challenging for her to find a job now. If she can’t find a decent job in the future, are we going to rely on our son-in-law to support the family alone? If that’s the case, the pressure on him would be too great.”

Don looked at Carol guiltily.

“Carol, these years must have been tough for you.”

“Of course, I thought the same, but now it seems that my father is really muddle-headed!”

“Our son-in-law just came back and hasn’t found a job yet. If there’s any extra money at home, I would try my best to find him a better job.”

Carol was full of worry.

“This time your father was sent to the hospital, and the medical expenses alone were nearly a million! Now we not only have no money but also owe a lot of debt. I don’t even know how to pay my credit card bill next month.”

Hearing this, Don almost shed tears, looking at the small business they had built together over the years.

He made a decision.

“If all else fails, we’ll sell the supermarket.”

“After we pay off the debts, there should still be some money left. After that, we’ll find a job, and in two or three years, we should be able to save some money.”

“By then, we’ll buy a bigger house for our daughter.”

“Our son-in-law has been good enough to Lyvia. As his in-laws, we have to help them too.”

Outside the door, Jun Chester, with Lyvia and Dion, had just bought some food and came to the supermarket to visit Don and Carol.

When he heard the conversation between the elderly couple, Jun Chester’s heartstrings trembled.

After all these years.

It was the first time he had experienced such concern from his family.

Lyvia, hearing the conversation between her foster parents, was moved to the point of tears.

It turned out that her foster mother had been tirelessly taking care of Norman in the hospital so that she could work for the Knowles family’s company!

Jun Chester raised his hand and hugged Lyvia’s shoulder as they entered the supermarket together.

When they saw the three of them come in, Don and Carol hurriedly hid the worry on their faces.

Don smiled at Jun Chester.

“You’re here!”

Jun Chester’s face lit up with a smile.

“Dad.”

Don laughed heartily.

“Come on, sit down and have a drink with me.”

“Carol, we might need more dishes.”

“And get that fifty-year-old whiskey of ours. Today, I want to get drunk with our son-in-law!”

Carol joked with a smile.

“That whiskey is for Jun and Lyvia’s wedding day. You can’t drink it now.”

Don grinned.

“What’s the importance of those formalities?”

“That’s all for show!”

“As a father, of course, I know whether our daughter is happy with Jun or not!”

Jun Chester had just returned not long ago.

How could he have any money?

Otherwise, how could Don not want to see his daughter put on a wedding dress in front of everyone, and personally hand his daughter over to Jun Chester?

Jun Chester felt moved again.

In-laws like these are extremely rare in today’s world.

After sitting down, Jun Chester filled a glass for Don.

“Dad, I toast to you for having such a wonderful daughter, Lyvia!”

Jun Chester then poured himself a glass.

Don hurriedly raised his glass.

“Jun, it’s me who should toast you!”

“Without you, Lyvia would still be in a coma. Without you, I might have died long ago!”

Jun Chester felt somewhat guilty.

Lyvia was accidentally injured by the Twelve Lords of Cinder Chapel back then, all because of Jun Chester.

Don and Lyvia were kidnapped some time ago because of the feud between Jun Chester and David Chester.

The two of them drank and finished their drinks. Without hesitation, Jun Chester pushed a bank card in front of Don.

“Dad, there’s a little money on this card. It’s not much, but please accept it.”

“Also, we’re going to have a wedding, a grand wedding!”

“At that time, I will make Lyvia the happiest woman in the world!”

The balance on the bank card that Jun Chester took out was indeed not much compared to the balance in his other account.

But it was more than enough to buy the whole town of Dirtmouth.

“Jun, please don’t say that. Keep the money for yourself. You and Lyvia will need money for your daily expenses and for raising a child. I appreciate your sentiment, but I really can’t take the money.”

“Don’t worry. Although we are facing some difficulties now, in the long run, we are still young, and we can support ourselves with our own hands!”

Lyvia held Jun Chester’s hand and smiled gently.

“Jun, put the money away. I know my father, he won’t accept it.”

Jun Chester gave a bitter smile and put the bank card back into Lyvia’s bag.

“Then you keep the money and use it as you wish. From now on, you’ll manage this household!”

Lyvia blushed and didn’t refuse this time.

However, at that moment, Don’s phone rang. It was a call from Norman.

Don’s face instantly turned serious, hesitating for a moment before answering and saying in a low voice, “Dad!”

Norman’s voice came from the other end of the line, as if the events of the day hadn’t happened.

“The day after tomorrow, I’m hosting a birthday banquet. Bring Jun Chester and that bastard with you.”

With that, Norman hung up the phone.

It seemed more like a command than a notification.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Don looked at his phone for a long time before shaking his head and giving a bitter smile.

“After all these years, he’s still the same!”

“He calls me when he’s happy and kicks me out when he’s unhappy, treating me like a dog.”

Jun Chester actually heard the conversation between Norman and Don, but still asked, “Dad, what’s wrong?”

Don explained the situation to Jun Chester.

Jun Chester’s face was indifferent.

He didn’t say anything.

Don was silent for a moment, seemingly making a significant decision.

“Jun, don’t worry, I’m not a man without a backbone. Since I’ve said that I want nothing more to do with the Knowles family, I’ll stick to my word. But we still have to attend his birthday banquet.”

“However, we’re not going to give gifts but to get our money back. During this time, I’ve paid for all his expenses, totaling nine hundred and eighty thousand!”

“This money was originally intended for the down payment on a big house for you and Lyvia, but it ended up being used for his hospital bills first.”

“The Knowles family doesn’t need this money, but I do!”

“And even if I can’t get the money back, I want them to know that I will fight back. Even if they bully me, I can’t just stand by and watch Lyvia and her mother be bullied by them too!”

Jun Chester’s eyes twitched.

He was very satisfied with Don’s decision.

After pondering for a while, Jun Chester smiled faintly.

“Alright, I’ll attend this birthday banquet!”
