Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Joshua Clarke took the opportunity to say, “It’s not easy for our child in Belfard, let’s not bother with that.”

“What do you mean by ‘bother’!” Christy Xenos was unhappy to hear that.

She didn’t care if Zoe Silverstone was still there and wasn’t afraid of being laughed at: “Didn’t you just hear? Cindy Clarke is rich now! An advertisement pays 500,000! Even if she doesn’t take ads every day, let’s say a few less, she takes three or four a month, she earns millions a month!”

“A person who earns millions a month, do you think she would buy a small house in Belfard? Even if she can’t buy a villa, there must be condos, right? If there’s no condo, at the very least, there must be a three or four-bedroom place! Can’t we still live there?”

“Unless she is unwilling to let us live there, otherwise, we can’t possibly not have a place to live.” Christy Xenos said, “Besides, she’s so rich now, even if her house is too small for us, she could rent us a bigger place.”

“Renting a house is not expensive, if she takes out 30 or 50 thousand a month for us to rent a house, I don’t need it to be too big, a three-bedroom place is enough.” Christy Xenos shouted, “How can we not afford that?”

“A person who earns millions a month, asking her to take out 30 or 50 thousand for rent, is just a fraction! She hasn’t contacted our family for five years, hasn’t given a cent to the family, who knows how much money she has saved up secretly!”

“Ha! This is your good daughter.” Christy Xenos pointed to Joshua Clarke and said, “All these years, our family has relied solely on Wendy. She runs the restaurant single-handedly, earning money to support the family, giving us a new villa, allowing us to retire early.”

“You get to walk around every day without working, enjoying your leisurely days, isn’t it because of Wendy? Our family has been supported by Wendy alone for all these years! Cindy Clarke is living a carefree life in Belfard, and we have raised her for 19 years, but she hasn’t given a penny to the family!”

“Now we are going to Belfard to find her, what’s wrong with living at her place? What’s wrong with letting her rent a place for us? That’s all for the 19 years of nurturing, plus these five years combined, she owes it to us!”

“Joshua Clarke, listen to yourself, are you being fair to Wendy? You are willing to spend Wendy’s money, and you don’t feel pain. But you’re already feeling pain before we even ask Cindy Clarke for money in Belfard?”

“Did you forget that your beloved younger daughter has ignored you for the past five years?” Christy Xenos questioned Joshua Clarke.

Joshua Clarke was left speechless by Christy Xenos.

Regarding Christy Xenos’ question, Joshua Clarke could not say a single word in retort.

Because he could not refute anything she said.

The saddest thing for him was that Cindy Clarke hadn’t contacted him in the past five years.

If Cindy Clarke was having a hard time and didn’t contact him for fear of causing him trouble, that would be understandable.

After all, Cindy Clarke had always been like that, thinking about her family and not wanting to cause them any trouble.

That was her character.

But if she was doing well, why wouldn’t she contact him and let him rest assured?

Not contacting him for five years, he didn’t know how many bad ideas had been born in his heart, worrying that Cindy Clarke had encountered some misfortune or was in danger.

As a result, Cindy Clarke had been doing just fine for the past five years.

And her career was outstanding.

Was she not contacting him because she was afraid the family would ask her for money?

But he wouldn’t do that!

However, Joshua Clarke didn’t consider his easily swayed nature.

If Cindy Clarke contacted him, wouldn’t Christy Xenos and Wendy know immediately?

Would Cindy Clarke still have peace then?

If only Joshua Clarke could stand firm and be a real head of the family.

Then Cindy Clarke wouldn’t have to be like this.

Wendy, on the side, shed tears of grievance and said, “You gave birth to me and raised me, and now it’s my turn to be able to support you. It’s what I’m supposed to do. But dad, you can’t just think that all these responsibilities should be mine.”

“Supporting you is my duty, but I can’t take on even Cindy Clarke’s share naturally. I can act filial on her behalf too, but you shouldn’t assume it’s something I should do,” Wendy said.

Joshua Clarke hesitated to speak, sighed, and hung his head.

Seeing Joshua Clarke’s droopy demeanor, Christy Xenos knew that Joshua Clarke had been persuaded again.

“Let’s pack up our things and head to Belfard as soon as possible.” Christy Xenos made the decision.

She asked Zoe Silverstone, “By the way, when do you plan to go back?”

“I plan to go back as soon as possible. If you can go to Belfard in the next few days, we can go together. But you probably have a lot to deal with. If it’s going to be delayed, I can’t keep waiting here.”

“Ah!” Zoe Silverstone sighed, “I’m not like I used to be, this time I came here spending my own savings. Being forced by Cindy Clarke, I have no income now and really can’t afford it.”

“Why don’t we exchange contact information?” Wendy suggested, “Once in Belfard, I think we will certainly need to contact each other for many more opportunities.”

Zoe Silverstone immediately understood Wendy’s meaning and exchanged contact information with her on the spot.

“By the way, from what Uncle said just now, you guys are planning to open a restaurant in Belfard?” Zoe Silverstone asked again.

“Yes.” Christy Xenos said proudly, “After all, Nork City is too small, and the restaurant Wendy runs here is already the highest-end restaurant in Nork City. There’s nothing to improve.”

“Besides, the market in Nork City is only this big, and our restaurant has already saturated the market.” When Christy Xenos talked about it, she was quite knowledgeable, “That’s why we need to open a restaurant in a bigger market.”

“Wendy analyzed that Belfard is the capital, has a big market, high consumption, and more wealthy people. Opening a restaurant in Belfard will offer better prospects for development.”

Christy Xenos spoke proudly, “By then, we will open one branch after another in Belfard, then expand to S City, and eventually spread across the country. The one in Nork City will be the main branch. The customers always appreciate the original store and think it tastes better. By then, everyone will come to Nork City to

For what?

Christy Xenos forgot.

“To make a pilgrimage,” Wendy explained.

“Right, to make a pilgrimage!” Christy Xenos hastily agreed.

Zoe Silverstone thought to herself, you country bumpkins have never seen the prosperity of Belfard.

There are so many high-end restaurants, and their prices are unimaginably high.

Did they really think that having a high-end restaurant in Nork City would work in Belfard?

Your so-called high-end restaurant in Nork City would just be an ordinary place in Belfard.

The consumption level of Nork City and Belfard is incomparable.
