Chapter 159 At Leslie’s house.
Leslie and his wife were sitting in the living room watching television.
Cedric had plans to play basketball with his friends today since it was the weekends, so he did not go to
his Aunt Diana’s house with his parents.
At this moment, Cedric came across Judy’s Instagram post on his phone.
He was immediately stunned by the good food in the picture. He had not even seen such great food
before. The lobster and the king crab looked absolutely scrumptious, and he quickly ran to the living
room.
“Mom, Dad, you two went to Aunt Diana’s house today, right? I thought you were discussing Judy and
her boyfriend’s wedding. Why didn’t you bring me along to eat good food?”
He thought the pictures were taken during lunch.
Then, he passed his phone to Leslie and Lisa.
Leslie and his wife were no longer calm when they saw the pictures. They had only seen such food on
television before. They could only imagine how much this table of food must have cost.
Coupled with Judy’s caption, they understood that this must be the dinner David treated those two
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfamilies to.
It seemed like David had truly become successful. David even promised Diana’s family a house in River
City, but this was not a benefit they could also enjoy.
As David’s uncle, Leslie had the chance to build a good relationship with David like Diana did years ago.
If so, his family would be able to enjoy David’s wealth as well.
However, after losing the fight for David’s guardianship and the two million dollar compensation, Leslie
never cared about David again.
No longer interested, Leslie tossed the phone aside and said, “This wasn’t lunch. The lunch we had with
your aunt Diana was simple home-cooked food.”
“So this is dinner? Aren’t you guys close with Aunt Diana’s family? Why didn’t they invite us to eat with
them? I’ve never seen such good food in my whole life! I don’t care, I want to eat this too!” Cedric said
slightly angrily.
Leslie was already irritated over the missed opportunity of cultivating a good relationship with David.
Cedric throwing a temper now had only added to his ire, and he shouted at his son, “All you know is eat!
G o to your room and finish your homework! All you’re going to eat is sh*t if you don’t get into university!”
Cedric was stunned as he did not expect Leslie to suddenly shout at him. Tears welled in his eyes as he
ran into the bedroom and slammed the door behind him with a bang.
“What is wrong with you? You were the one who made that decision back then! None of this is our son’s
fault! All you know is to vent your anger on our son! I told you to be nice to Dave, he’s still your nephew,
isn’t he? But no, you wouldn’t listen, you said he’s the problem of whoever got the compensation. What
do you want to do now, huh?” Lisa complained resentfully.
Leslie did not reply as he laid down on the sofa.
It was the truth that he did not show concern for David after the boy decided to live with Bobby.
All he knew was what Diana told him, that David did not seem to be living well under Bobby’s care. There
were signs of child abuse and Diana hoped that he could intervene.
Only for Leslie to say that David had it coming and that it was not his problem.
David was wealthy now, he could afford a luxury car, buy a house for Diana’s family, and bring them to
eat good food.
As envious as he was, he also felt regretful. He should have shown David some form of concern, or
things would not have gotten to such a point today.
It was too late now, and nothing he said would change anything.
‘Sigh! If only I knew!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLisa did not say anything to further aggravate her husband. She might have persuaded him to treat
David better, but she did not take any actual action. All she did was talk.
It was just that now that David was wealthy, Diana went from having the worse financial conditions to
being the richest of the siblings, and this frustrated them.
People had unlimited potential.
It was a huge table of food, and the nine of them had taken two whole hours to finish around a dozen
dishes.
David ate the most, though this was due to his enhanced Body stats. His appetite had grown ever since
the enhancement.
What shocked him was the large appetites of the ordinary people seated here. It had was mind-blowing.
He did not know that these people were only eating so much because they had never seen such good
food in their whole lives. As a result, they were reluctant to waste food so they did not stop even after
they were full.
They would rest a bit and continue eating until almost everything was finished before putting their cutlery
down.
Jude and the two other young ladies even pulled out their phones during the short rest to search up
these dishes.
