Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

After all, he had to save 2,000 out of his 5,000 monthly allowance to give to her.

It didn’t seem easy.

Quietly, Joshua breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could even exhale, Cindy hesitated to ask, “But… how long will it take to accumulate 500,000 at this rate?”

“At 2,000 a month, it would be 24,000 a year. It would take 20 years to reach 480,000. That is to say, almost 21 years to reach 500,000,” Cindy said.

“That… that’s too slow,” Cindy said.

Joshua was almost out of breath and choked himself.

“Listen, listen to what she’s saying!” Christy pointed at Cindy.

“She’s not satisfied with the money we give her! And she’s not even happy with what she’s getting!” Christy yelled angrily, “You ungrateful daughter!”

“Do you think you are the only one like this?”

Joshua sighed and said, “This is only temporary. You can take this money for now. When our savings mature and we withdraw it, we’ll give it to you.”

Cindy didn’t believe she would ever get the money.

But it wasn’t really about the money for her.

She just wanted to make them afraid!

As long as they saw her, she would mention money.

Until they didn’t dare to see her or want to see her anymore.

Only then would Cindy’s goal be achieved.

Finally, Cindy reluctantly nodded, “Alright then. But Dad, you have to keep your promise.”

“Don’t worry,” Joshua assured her.

Cindy took a piece of paper from her pocket: “My bank account number is written here.”

She had prepared it in advance.

Joshua: “…”

Joshua silently accepted it, knowing that Cindy had prepared just for this.

He sighed but couldn’t blame her.

Because it was their family who had first hurt her.

That’s why she was always on guard.

It showed just how deep her wounds were.

“Okay.” Joshua took the paper, unfolded it, and glanced at it.

Then he put it away.

“So, how much longer do you plan to stay here?” Cindy asked.

Upon hearing this, Christy knew Cindy was planning to stay in the hotel.

Immediately Christy said, “We’re packing our bags, and I’m booking the flight right now. As soon as we’re done packing, we’ll head back to Nork City! Today!”

“We’re not staying here, so don’t get any ideas!” Christy quickly added.

Cindy let out a disappointed “Oh.”

She wasn’t in a hurry to leave, so she sat on the sofa and watched Christy pack her luggage.

“Do you have anything else to do?” Christy saw Cindy still sitting there and was very unwelcoming.

Cindy laughed, “This place is so nice, I want to stay here a bit longer. If I go back to my small room, it would be too cramped, right?”

Christy: “…”

How did this girl become so difficult!

Seeing Cindy’s watchful gaze, Christy packed quickly, fearing that she would be caught by Cindy if she stayed too long.

Cindy stayed just to make sure that Christy wouldn’t feel relaxed and change her mind about leaving when she wasn’t around.

Now, before Christy could have second thoughts, Cindy urged her to hurry up and leave.

Christy quickly finished packing and rushed with Joshua to the airport.

Cindy, not trusting them, followed.

“Why are you following us!” Christy protested angrily.

“Do you know how to buy plane tickets online? If not, I can help you purchase them,” Cindy said with a smiling face.

Christy sneered, seeing through Cindy’s intentions, “Trying to be like Zoe Silverstone and earn a commission? Dream on!”

Christy was actually able to use an app to buy plane tickets herself.

Once she bought it in the car, they arrived at the airport and went to check in their luggage with Joshua.

Cindy followed them closely and only left after making sure they had gone through security.

She waited outside.

It wasn’t until Joshua and Christy’s flight took off on time and they didn’t come out that Cindy finally left.

Just as she walked out of gate 5, there were many vehicles there to pick up passengers.

Before her gaze could return, she caught a glimpse of a striking figure among the many people waiting for passengers on the side of the road.

She saw Adrian standing in front of a car, not knowing how long he had been waiting.

Looking at her.

He discovered her earlier than she did, but when he saw her, he didn’t make a sound.

He stood at a distance of more than ten meters away, separated by the passing passengers, and quietly watched her.

Having just sent off Joshua and Christy.

Although Cindy’s mind was clear, she never softened, and frightened them away during their conversation.

But now, seeing Adrian, Cindy knew that she was still sad.

How she wished that Joshua, when he saw her, would ask her how she’s been these years, whether she’s been suffering or not.

If only Joshua and Christy could at least show some pure concern for her.

Instead of mentioning money as soon as they met.

When facing both of them, Cindy could only place herself in the position of an outsider.

Now, seeing Adrian, even though she wasn’t by his side and there was still some distance between them,

Cindy felt a sense of belonging. Her once silent heart became lively and began to beat wildly once more.

Cindy immediately ran towards Adrian.

Adrian had been watching her the whole time, seeing her before she even realized he was there.

His eyes never left her.

Seeing Cindy running over, Adrian smiled faintly.

He held out his hands and opened his arms slightly.

Upon seeing this, as she ran to him, Cindy threw herself into his arms.

She jumped, plunged in.

All of a sudden, Cindy seemed to have become much younger, not much older than Morgan.

Adrian laughed softly and firmly caught her.

Adopting the same position as if he was holding Morgan, he didn’t let her down again.

This time, it was Cindy who was embarrassed.

And there were so many people at the airport!

“Put me down first,” Cindy whispered, her face red.

She sneakily glanced around and saw people snickering.

Some young girls blushed and couldn’t bear to look any longer as they walked away.

Cindy felt embarrassed.

“I won’t let go,” Adrian said, “I need to see if you’re okay.”

Seeing Cindy’s red eyes, Adrian frowned, “Have you been crying?”

“Was it Joshua or Christy?” Adrian asked in a deep voice.

Under normal circumstances, he would have used the terms “Father-in-law and Mother-in-law” to address them.

But Adrian was so angry that he wasn’t even willing to call them “your parents.”

They didn’t deserve it!

Even if it upset Cindy, he wouldn’t say it!

However, Cindy wasn’t upset either.

“It’s not that bad, really. I didn’t feel sad. It’s just that when the conversation reached a certain point, my emotions came up, and it was inevitable,” Cindy said, “It’s just shedding a few tears. It didn’t really affect my mood.”
