Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 1285

Chapter 1285: Chapter 1285: My Heart Shivers_1 Chapter 1285 -1285: My Heart Shivers_1 In such a hurry?

They just heard from Adrian Zhekova, they thought even if Joshua Clarke were to leave, it would take some time.

They’ve been living in Belfard for quite a while now.

Making a new home in a new place is no easy task.

But once they settled down, they would have more belongings.

To move again would be a huge project.

Although the houses in Nork City are all there, they’ve been vacant for too long and unattended.

...

When they first moved north to Belfard, they had baggages with them.

Even if there are clothes and quilts left at home, they’d likely be moldy due to the dampness of the south.

Even if Joshua Clarke was to leave in a haste, he should at least be given some time to pack his bags, shouldn’t he?

“Of course,” Adrian Zhekova said.

“Since you’ve agreed to go back to Nork City, you should leave now.

You don’t have any reason to delay.”

“What about them…” Joshua asked, “What about them?”

“What about them?

They have a place to stay in Belfard, they have money to spend.

Even if you’re not there, they can still live well in Belfard, what are you worried about?” Adrian mockingly asked.

Joshua Clarke was silent for a while, then asked, “If they stay here, will it be dangerous?”

“Why would you doubt that?” Adrian Zhekova arched his eyebrow and asked, “Or…

are you not leaving?”

Joshua hesitated, pursed his lips, without directly answering Adrian’s question.

“But I have to pack if I’m leaving now, right?” This somehow answered the question Adrian Zhekova had asked earlier.

“I’ve lived here for so long, if I suddenly have to go back, there’s nothing left at home…” Joshua thought quite ahead.

The more Christy Xenos heard, the angrier she became, staring at Joshua Clarke with a disdainful look.

The same old trick.

Pretending to be concerned about them.

But when Adrian asked, he chose to go back.

“You can purchase what you need when you get home,” Adrian stated, “My man will accompany you back to Nork City.”

“You’re sending someone to monitor me?” Joshua asked in shock.

Isn’t he supposed to be free back in Nork City?

“Of course not,” Adrian laughed, “My men have their duties to do.

They can’t just stay in Nork City forever to watch over you.”

What’s the difference between this and being exiled?

“Just to make sure you get back to Nork City, Don’t be nervous,” Adrian laughed.

Joshua just wished Adrian would stop laughing.

The more Adrian laughed, the more he felt creeped out.

He didn’t find Adrian’s demeanor endearing, not the slightest intimate thought.

He could hardly imagine Adrian being his son-in-law.

Adrian told him not to get nervous.

How could he not be nervous!

“Send my Father-in-law back to Nork City,” Adrian said.

Immediately, two men stepped forward, “Mr.

Clarke, Hello, we’ll be your escorts back to Nork City.”

Joshua had a bitter taste in his mouth.

He hadn’t even asked about the tickets.

Adrian clearly had anticipated this, with everything prepared.

He could leave today, probably the tickets had been bought as well.

Joshua even wondered if Adrian had foreseen the confrontation with Cindy Clarke today.

Could anyone else be so well-prepared?

Judging from the men Adrian had sent, these were his trusted men.

If not, why would they be called to observe his family affairs?

Adrian knew they would come to the wedding.

Everything was planned ahead, including sending him back to Nork City today, as well as the conditions promised.

Clearly, he was well prepared; everything was orderly.

Now, Adrian’s fearsome image had been further ingrained in Joshua Clarke’s mind.

He turned back and looked at Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke.

Just the two of them, thinking they could scheme against Cindy Clarke.

“Let’s go,” Adrian told his subordinates.

“Mmm!” Christy Xenos, with her mouth sealed shut, could only make whimpering sounds.

She always complained about Joshua.

Just now, she felt cold-hearted due to Joshua’s decision.

But now that Joshua was truly leaving, Christy felt anxious.

It felt like the backbone of the family was missing.

Though Joshua wasn’t much of a backbone usually, Christy still felt uneasy.

Was he really leaving them behind?

For a moment, Christy even considered leaving with Joshua.

Josuha reached the door, then turned around.

Hope appeared in Christy’s eyes.

Hoping Joshua would choose not to go back to Nork City.

Unexpectedly, she heard Joshua say, “I’ll go back first, I…

I’ll be waiting for you in Nork City.

To be honest, Nork City suits us better.

You two should consider it and maybe go back.”

Christy’s eyes widened in surprise.

Is this a matter of whether or not they want to return?

This has become a matter of whether or not they’re able to return!

Joshua must be pretending to be confused.

Then, Joshua didn’t stay anymore, turned around, opened the door, and left.

Now in the room, besides Adrian and his men, were only Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke.

Both Christy and Wendy’s mouths were still sealed, unable to speak.

Christy was whimpering, her voice increasingly urgent, struggling harder.

She evidently wanted to speak very much.

She must be able to speak.

She didn’t know what Adrian was planning to do.

But she must be able to negotiate, shouldn’t she?

Even if it meant begging for mercy.

Though Adrian hadn’t said or done anything.

No threats were made.

But Christy was frightened.

“My mother-in-law is getting old,” Adrian finally broke the silence.

Christy was taken aback, waiting to hear what Adrian Zhekova had to say.

“Her health isn’t what it used to be,” Adrian said.

Christy immediately shook her head.

She is healthy!

She’s extremely fit, her voice is loud, her strength is great.

And every year she gets a health check-up, apart from a few minor issues, she’s in great health.

Besides, she’s not even old!

Christy instinctively sensed that Adrian’s words couldn’t mean anything good.

“Wendy is usually busy with work and can’t take care of her, and Cindy can’t afford to care for her because she’s so busy.

Now that the Father-in-law has returned to Nork City and is not by her side,” Adrian continued.

Christy heard Adrian blatantly making up stories!

Wasn’t it Adrian himself who had sent Joshua away just now?

“It’s always a bit worrying to leave the Mother-in-law alone at home,” Adrian said again.

Adrian had never called them Father-in-law and Mother-in-law.

However, in this short span of time, Adrian used the terms multiple times.

Previously, Christy always referred to herself as Adrian’s mother-in-law, but Adrian ignored her.

But now as Adrian used the terms, Christy was scared.

Each time Adrian mentioned her title, Christy felt a shudder in her heart.

Christy made various whimpering sounds.

Even if she couldn’t speak, she tried to argue.

As if she wanted Adrian to figure out what she meant from her sounds.
