Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 525: The Zhekova Family Also Has Top-notch Relatives

“But in reality, the Zhekova Family is so huge, how could there possibly only be these people? There are many relatives, many side branches. It’s inevitable that some people won’t have their hearts in the right place and will be digging for your flaws.”

“This is still better than the Zhekova Family having extremely troublesome relatives, much more so than what your mother’s family can stir up.” Adrian Zhekova said.

He tucked the hair behind Cindy Clarke’s ear and smiled, “You haven’t seen it yet, but the more you learn and understand about the Zhekova Family, the more you’ll realize that your mother’s family doesn’t really compare.”

“And, you call yourself a spendthrift? With just this little bit, how can that be considered real spending? I just have someone keeping an eye on things, I haven’t really put in much effort myself. And those troublesome Zhekova relatives are being watched as well, even more people are assigned to that task.”

“On the contrary, I hope you could be more of a spendthrift. Of course, not because of your mother and Wendy Clarke, but for yourself. If you want something, go ahead and buy it. Didn’t I give you an unlimited credit card? But until now, I haven’t seen you use it at all.”

Cindy Clarke: “…”

How did the conversation pivot back to using his credit card?

When she was with him, no matter what they were originally discussing, Adrian always found a way to bring the conversation back to her not wanting to use his card.

Cindy Clarke didn’t know what to say anymore.

“The most important thing is, you said you haven’t given me anything, but that’s completely wrong.” Adrian Zhekova said.

Cindy Clarke looked at him doubtfully, and then he said, “You’ve given yourself to me, and you’ve given me Morgan. You’ve given me a home, a real life to live. You’ve made me realize how dull my single life was before I met you.”

“By entrusting yourself to me, trusting me so much, you’re putting your life in my hands. What you’ve given me is so heavy and important, how can you say you’ve given me nothing?” Adrian Zhekova smiled, “You’ve given me so much.”

Cindy Clarke’s heart was racing, and suddenly, she couldn’t help but ask, “Didn’t you say that everything I say is right?”

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

Adrian Zhekova was irritated, he pinched her nose and swayed it left and right, “I’m saying such touching words, and you bring up this.”

Cindy Clarke couldn’t help but laugh, but her nose was pinched, making it hard to breathe, so she spoke with her mouth open, “I can’t breathe.”

Only then did Adrian Zhekova begrudgingly let go, and he pulled her closer to his chest, still not quite appeased.

“Back to business.” Adrian Zhekova still remembered the main issue, “What do you think about your parents coming? If you don’t want to see them, I can find a way to send them back.”

Cindy Clarke shook her head, saying, “If we send them back this time, they’ll still come back. As long as I’m in Belfard and have money, my mother and Wendy won’t give up.”

“Leave this matter to me, but you’ll need to help me out a bit.” Cindy Clarke said.

“What do you mean ‘help’? Just give me your requirements and I’ll do it.” Adrian Zhekova laughed.

“They came for money. Your restaurant incident stalled Wendy’s movements, but it can only delay them for so long.” Cindy Clarke said.

“Instead, because the restaurant has to compensate, my mom and Wendy, who are stingy and only want to take advantage, definitely won’t want to suffer any loss. Not even a single cent. So, Wendy is probably sending my parents here to ask me for money.”

It had to be said that Cindy Clarke truly had a deep understanding of Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke.

The 19 years they had spent living together were not in vain.

“On the contrary, I might have unwittingly helped.” Adrian Zhekova frowned, feeling that he had not handled the matter well.

Cindy Clarke quickly shook her head, “How did you help? You stalled Wendy, who has stayed in Nork City. In our family, my dad doesn’t have a strong opinion, whoever speaks, he finds their reasoning quite good, always switching sides. So, there’s no need to worry about the threat he poses.”

“As for my mom, she’s uneducated, but quite shrewd for her own gain and has a sharp tongue. That’s why she often wins arguments by being more aggressive and ruthless than the other party. But if it comes down to using her brain, my mom is not competent.”

“Wendy is the one who comes up with ideas at home, my mom just executes them.” One thinks and the other acts.

“Now, it’s just my parents coming alone, without Wendy. My dad doesn’t have strong opinions, and my mom listens to Wendy. If Wendy doesn’t give prompt advice, my mom is prone to making foolish mistakes.”

Cindy Clarke laughed, “This is actually pretty good.”

“Using the restaurant they care about to hold them back, I didn’t even think they’d actually split up like this. It seems they really want money from me.” Cindy Clarke said bitterly.

“Normally speaking, the restaurant has encountered problems, but not big troubles that would force it to close down.” Cindy Clarke said.

On this matter, Adrian Zhekova and Sheldon Rowland were both controlling the situation well.

They were able to make Christy and Wendy worry, but also give them hope, not planning to close down the restaurant outright.

“They should continue to stay in Nork City.” Cindy Clarke said, “But it doesn’t matter, even if my parents come here, they’ll still be worried about the restaurant back home and won’t be at ease in Belfard.”

“So, do you want to see them?” Adrian Zhekova asked.

Cindy Clarke nodded, “I’ll see them, but we have to decide how to handle the meeting.”

“Previously, Zoe Silverstone went to the Clarke Family. She must have told them quite a bit about me, but I don’t know what she said.” Cindy Clarke pondered.

“Zoe Silverstone doesn’t know much about me either. In order to get them to come find me, she probably told them everything she knew, especially focusing on me having money. Only then could she ensure that they would come looking for me. Moreover, if she was able to find out about Nork City and the Clarke Family, she should have some understanding of the characters of my family members.” Cindy Clarke analyzed, “The question is, did she mention you?”

“Let’s see. If Zoe Silverstone mentioned anything about you, then my mom would definitely go to Pingla to find you.” Cindy Clarke said, “And today is Thursday, tomorrow is Friday. The day after tomorrow, I have the competition.”

“If they don’t go looking for you tomorrow, they’ll definitely go to watch the competition the day after.” Cindy Clarke said.

“Not looking for you tomorrow doesn’t mean they don’t know about our relationship. It’s possible they think they can find me the day after tomorrow at the competition and that they don’t need to cause a scene at your place tomorrow.”

Cindy Clarke thought for a moment and looked at Adrian Zhekova, “I want to be sure whether Zoe Silverstone told them anything about the two of us.”

She tended to believe that Zoe hadn’t said anything.

Because Zoe Silverstone was also a selfish person. When it came to temperament, she was quite compatible with Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke.

Hiding this matter wouldn’t necessarily benefit Zoe Silverstone.

But it would definitely harm Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke.
