This time, no one opened the door.
"Mister Adam, should we kick the door open?" asked one of his men when he saw Adam's face had contorted out of rage.

When Lilin opened the door, she noticed that the food delivery had arrived as well. However, the delivery man was a bit frightened by Adam who was banging on the door. He did not dare to go near the door, worrying that Adam might hurt him.

Lilin took the takeout to the sofa, planning to enjoy it with Melinda.

When he approached his wife and daughter, who were eating fast food, he frowned and said, "This is where you've been staying with our daughter? Why, it's so cramped and shabby! And how can you let her eat those unhealthy fast foods? | thought you'd be better off without me!" Melinda was so annoyed by Adam's words that she lost her usual graciousness.
