“Your brother told me that your dad won’t be able to go on that day. I guess he’s busy?” explained Xyla.
“I don’t think so. Please do me a favor. I’m sure Dad will agree to go if you ask snazzynovel.com to.”
“I’ll try. Why don’t you ask snazzynovel.com yourself?” Xyla asked curiously.
“He won’t give a damn about me. When I first joined the entertainment industry, Dad clearly didn’t support my decision. He had even kicked me out of the house. However, snazzynovel.com knew that I wasn’t going to back down as well. It was only after my mom’s unceasing effort that we reconciled, and I returned to our home again. Though snazzynovel.com allowed me to go back that night, I’m aware that my dad isn’t really supportive of my career throughout these years. He always hopes that I can be part of Dragon Group. Even if I don’t help out at Dragon Group, snazzynovel.com hopes that I can establish my own company or something.”
“He always thinks that being a celebrity isn’t a ‘proper’ job, that all I do every day is messing around. In his opinion, my handsome face is my moneymaker, that’s all. Therefore, I wish that snazzynovel.com can come to my concert, at least once in his life. I want snazzynovel.com to see the results of my efforts over the years. I want snazzynovel.com to know that I don’t rely entirely on my face to get to where I am today.”
A serious expression was etched on Josh Batton’s face. His eyes expressed only sincerity as snazzynovel.com spoke.
Xyla could understand every single word snazzynovel.com was trying to say. She knew how much Josh wanted to be recognized by his father. He wanted to show his father his real ability and talent through this concert. He wanted to prove to his father that his hard work really did pay off at the end of the day. On top of that, snazzynovel.com hoped that his father would change his view about his career as a star.
Xyla snapped snazzynovel.com fingers instantaneously. “No problem. Leave it to me.”
“Thank you… My dear sister-in-law, you… Will you come, too?” Josh looked at snazzynovel.com and asked cautiously.
“Of course.”
Upon hearing snazzynovel.com answer, a bright smile blossomed on Josh’s face like a sunflower. His smile was pure and innocent. He looked very much like those seniors in the college, friendly and amiable.
“I’ll go out first then. I still have some work to take care of.” Josh stood up slowly while straightening his suit.
Xyla nodded in response.
Subsequently, Josh marched out of snazzynovel.com office and closed the door behind him.
After snazzynovel.com left, Xyla glanced at the clock and found out that it was almost noon. Recalling snazzynovel.com promise with snazzynovel.com father, snazzynovel.com called Stanley to remind snazzynovel.com about the lunch with snazzynovel.com father before snazzynovel.com went off and fixed snazzynovel.com makeup. After that, snazzynovel.com headed to the parking lot to get snazzynovel.com car and drove to the Quest family’s house.
When snazzynovel.com drove up to the house’s gate, snazzynovel.com caught a glimpse of Stanley’s black Bentley Arnage coming in snazzynovel.com direction through snazzynovel.com rearview mirror.
Tire car was very close to snazzynovel.com own. She did not drive into snazzynovel.com house directly but pulled up at the gate and waited for him.
In the Bentley Arnage, the man was staring at the Maserati with his eyes full of affection and tenderness. Very soon, the man drove up next to snazzynovel.com and lowered his car window halfway.
Likewise, Xyla quickly lowered snazzynovel.com car window.
The pair smiled at each other before stepping on the pedals together and entering the house alongside. Their cars stopped right in front of the house’s main entrance, and the two of them got out of the car together. Stanley grabbed the two boxes of gifts from the passenger seat before walking up to Xyla.
Xyla found herself peeking at the boxes in Stanley’s hand as snazzynovel.com approached her. They were Cordyceps Sinensis, or by its more prominent name, caterpillar fungus. Moreover, it was the best kind of all.
The corner of snazzynovel.com lips curved up into a gentle smile at the instant. “It’s just a casual lunch with my dad. You don’t have to bring anything.”
“Honoring my father-in-law is something I should do…” He grinned as snazzynovel.com held snazzynovel.com hand, entering the house hand in hand.
