Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 1284

Chapter 1284: Chapter 1284: You…You Want Me to Leave Now?_1 Chapter 1284 -1284: You…You Want Me to Leave Now?_1 “Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke were not exactly shocked, but they were certainly astonished.

Adrian Zhekova was letting Joshua Clarke go back by himself?

He didn’t need the two of them to return?

Did he agree to let them stay in Belfard?

However, the two had enough self-awareness to understand the situation.

They knew that Adrian Zhekova keeping them here did not mean he was going to let bygones be bygones.

If he had such an intention, he wouldn’t have allowed only Joshua Clarke to leave.

...

Furthermore, Joshua Clarke, aside from speaking and acting in an unpleasant way, was not as directly troublesome to Cindy Clarke as they were.

In the past, whatever they said or did, it was Christy Xenos who took the lead, and Wendy Clarke who commanded from behind.

This was blatantly obvious, and Adrian Zhekova couldn’t possibly miss it.

As for Joshua Clarke, he was merely caught in the middle, feeling torn.

Thinking of this, Christy Xenos suddenly froze.

Was Joshua Clarke pretending to be incompetent while being secretly competent?

With this suspicion, Christy Xenos looked at Joshua Clarke.

If that was the case, then Joshua Clarke was actually the most cunning and shameless of all.

He, a grown man, was hiding behind, letting the two women take the lead.

But seeing Joshua Clarke’s equally puzzled expression, Christy Xenos dismissed her doubts.

Wendy Clarke now desperately wanted to ask Adrian Zhekova, he was letting Joshua Clarke go back to Nork City, what about the two of them?

As long as one wasn’t extremely foolish, it wouldn’t be hard to figure out that Adrian Zhekova sending Joshua Clarke away meant he was intending to spare him.

As for the two of them he left behind, what was Adrian Zhekova planning to do?

If at this time, Joshua Clarke chose to leave alone, he would be leaving them behind, disregarding their lives.

Christy Xenos believed that Joshua Clarke would be able to understand that.

“Of course, you don’t have to worry about going back without a source of income,” Adrian Zhekova chimed in, “so you can’t complain about Cindy Clarke not being filial.”

“After you return to Nork City, we will give you a monthly allowance.” Adrian Zhekova took out his mobile phone, entered a string of numbers on the calculator, and showed it to Joshua Clarke, “this amount.”

Only Joshua Clarke could see the amount from this angle.

Neither Wendy Clarke nor Christy Xenos could see it.

The distance between the three of them was quite considerable.

Even if Christy Xenos wanted to crane her neck to look, she would not be able to see it.

Christy Xenos was terribly anxious, how much money had Adrian Zhekova promised Joshua Clarke?

Her deep-seated greed made her curiosity about the amount exceed her fear of the unknown future.

Wendy Clarke couldn’t see the amount on Adrian Zhekova’s phone screen at all.

But she could see the shock on Joshua Clarke’s face.

It must be very little or a lot.

It definitely couldn’t be very little.

If it was very small, Joshua Clarke wouldn’t be obedient.

But if it was a lot…

Joshua Clarke was not the same Joshua Clarke as before.

He was now a wealthy man, who had seen money before.

Being able to shock him like this is not easy.

She wondered what the sum was.

“What do you think?” Adrian Zhekova hooked up the corners of his mouth, “Do you agree?”

He was confident that Joshua Clarke would agree.

Sure enough, although Joshua Clarke hesitated for a while, he eventually nodded reluctantly, “Alright, I agree.”

Christy Xenos’s eyes widened in surprise.

Joshua Clarke had actually agreed!

Besides, he seemed hesitant.

But Christy Xenos, who had been his wife for decades, understood Joshua Clarke very well.

His hesitation was nothing more than putting on a show, deceiving outsiders.

He wanted people to think of him as a good guy.

Living with Joshua Clarke for so many years, Christy Xenos believed that she understood him better than anyone else.

She knew Joshua Clarke too well.

She knew that Joshua Clarke was just hesitating on the surface, but inside, he had readily agreed.

For this reason, Christy Xenos felt even more chilled.

They had been husband and wife for so many years, and Joshua Clarke was willing to abandon her just like that.

Isn’t this abandonment?

Adrian Zhekova send Joshua Clarke away, but held onto Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke.

They were now staying in Belfard, not out of their own volition.

Instead, Adrian Zhekova was holding them captive, not allowing them to leave.

Not leaving of one’s own accord, and being unable to leave because of captivity, were entirely different concepts.

Christy Xenos looked at Joshua Clarke in disbelief.

Joshua Clarke didn’t dare to face Christy Xenos.

But he told himself that this was just fulfilling Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke’s wishes.

He had been wanting to return to Nork City for a long time.

Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke, however, were unwilling to leave and insisted on leaving Belfard.

Even if they were allowed to leave, they probably still wouldn’t want to.

So, he decided to leave himself, there was nothing wrong with that.

He never forced Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke to leave, hadn’t he already been considerate of them?

Adrian Zhekova remained silent, just observing the situation.

He allowed this selfish family to have their own little performance.

Adrian Zhekova’s eyes were filled with mockery.

Initially when Joshua Clarke hadn’t come to Belfard with Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke, Cindy Clarke told him that the only person in the family who was kind to her was Joshua Clarke.

Cindy Clarke had thought about going back to see Joshua Clarke.

At the time, she didn’t know that Joshua Clarke was coming to Belfard.

But if she had known, she would have been welcoming.

It’s just a shame that Joshua Clarke’s actions inevitably made her disappointed.

Originally, Adrian Zhekova thought the same as Cindy Clarke, that Joshua Clarke was simply soft-hearted.

He wanted to be kind to everyone, but his actions often left people dissatisfied.

Thinking that whoever said something had a point, lacking his own backbone.

However, it seems now that Joshua Clarke clearly has a mind of his own.

He is not soft-hearted; he just uses this gossip to pass the buck to others.

All the ideas came from Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke.

He just has a soft heart, and he is easily influenced by others.

But now it seems, being easily influenced is just a camouflage for Joshua Clarke.

It hides his inherent selfishness and coldness.

Adrian Zhekova smiled mockingly.

Joshua Clarke certainly was a talent.

“Then it’s settled.

You can go now,” Adrian Zhekova said, and then someone stepped forward to untie Joshua Clarke.

Joshua Clarke got up a little at a loss.

He had been tied up for quite a while and his wrists and arms weren’t circulating blood properly.

The places where he had been tied were especially icy cold and a little numb.

He stood up and looked at Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke helplessly, “What about them?”

“I still have something to say to them,” Adrian Zhekova added.

“My people will take you to the airport,” Adrian Zhekova announced.

Joshua Clarke hesitated for a moment before exclaiming in shock, “Airport?

You…

are you asking me to leave right now?”

Even Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke were taken aback.
