Chapter 256 Honored Guests!
Dr. Charles and Freddy were interested in delicious food. The main reason they came to Los Angeles was for Cierra, and the second reason was naturally for her cooking skills.
At this moment, seeing the dishes on the table, they only thought about when they would sit down and start eating. They didn’t care what Belle meant and just smiled.
politely.
“It’s us two old bastards who benefited from everyone. I don’t know when that girl will be lazy and unwilling to cook.”
The two elders didn’t mind, but the Barton family was embarrassed.
This was especially true for Sarah. Because of her sister’s words, her face was a little.
hot. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“You’re too polite. As long as you like it, Cierra is willing to cook for you. I just hope you
can stay for a few more days.”
Without waiting for the children to sit down, Sarah added food for the two old men.
“Please eat first. Don’t worry about the children. There is no need to stand on ceremony.
Just eat.”
They were the elders who took care of Cierra in New York, so they should be treated
with respect.
Seeing this, Belle was even more furious.
Belle thought. “Ever since I got divorced and came back from New York, Sarah has
disliked me and even quarreled with me once.
“We are a family, so I don’t take it to heart. I think that as long as Sarah comes to coax
me once, I will pretend that nothing has happened.
“Unfortunately, not even once!
Even in the past few years when I am in Los Angeles, Sarah has not returned to the Chester family home. And she hasn’t also visited the parents. What arrogance!
“If it weren’t for the honored guest from the Trevino family, I wouldn’t have come to the Barton family to get into trouble.
“They treats the two old men coming from nowhere better than me. Is there a need for me to come here again in the future?”
But Belle was still angry. “Sarah, the children haven’t come yet. Is it good to eat?”
“It’s okay. We are of the younger generation. It is our fault for being late.”
As soon as Belle finished speaking, she was interrupted by a voice coming from the door of the dining room.
Jaquan led the two brothers in and glanced at the layout of the dining table.
Jaquan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Wanda had sat down with Will.
The little boy occupied a small area, and there was still a space between him and Sarah. Obviously, it was reserved for Cierra.
On the other side were the seats of Belle and her daughter.
Seeing Jaquan, Cherry immediately smiled and said, “Jaquan.”
Cherry pulled out the chair next to her and put on a sweet smile that sounded like her
voice.
“Come and sit down. The food is getting cold.”
Jaquan’s gaze fell on Wanda, who was looking sideways at the child. Jaquan lowered his eyes slightly.
When Cherry saw this, there was a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.
“Jaquan, what are you waiting for?”
“Ms. Riley, you don’t call the others, but you call Jaquan intimately. People who don’t know the truth might think that you can only see Jaquan and no one else.”
William had already seen through the undercurrents in the dining room. With a sneer, he stepped forward and sat down next to Cherry.
Although it was a little disgusting, for the sake of Jaquan’s marriage, he had to bear it!
Cherry felt William was annoying.
Cherry had never had an advantage over William, and she was even mocked by him. The moment William sat down, Cherry was on the verge of exploding.
She didn’t care about etiquette and almost cried out on the
spot.
“William, can you behave yourself? Jaquan hasn’t even sat down yet. As his younger brother, isn’t it too rude for you to sit down first?”
“I’m rude? Cherry, Jaquan didn’t say anything. Why do you educate me for him first? Who is rude?”
William was not afraid that Cherry would pester him endlessly. Anyway, he could make more trouble than she could.
“Besides, this is my home. It’s none of your business whether I behave myself or not.”
It was indeed rude to say such words to a guest.
But for an unwelcome guest, the people at the table hoped William could say more.
As a result, Charle, who had always paid attention to the reputation, didn’t say anything to William.
Cherry still wanted to say something, but before she could speak, her waist was pinched by Belle, and she had to swallow her words.
Not only that, but her eyes were also red.
Cherry sat up straight and sat on the chair, looking pitiful.
Belle put the cup heavily on the table and said, “Sarah, Charle, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but that you really didn’t discipline William well. Cherry and I are not the only ones at the table today. There are also two old guests. Are you just going to watch him bully us like this? Or do you think that we can be bullied without a man to rely on?”
As soon as Belle finished speaking, the whole dining room fell silent.
It made Belle feel even more embarrassed.
Belle also felt wronged. She cried out to Charle, “Charle, you used to be sensible. You used to scold William when he did something wrong in the past. Are you just going to watch him bully Cherry today?”
Charle raised his head and glanced across the room.
Belle picked up her handkerchief and pretended to cry. Cherry, who was next to her, was even more pitiful. It was unknown whether she was pinched or felt wronged.
As for William, who was next to him, he was smiling.
A mocking smile hung on William’s wild face. He looked at his biological father. His disdain and ridicule were even more piercing.
It was just being scolded by his father. He had been scolded by his father since he was a
child. Was he afraid?
However, to everyone’s surprise, Charle didn’t say anything to William.
Charle coughed softly and said seriously, “Today is William’s birthday. I was happy to celebrate with him, and I didn’t invite you two. It’s okay to come, but you wanted to teach us the rules. Not only that, but now you’re crying and saying that William bullied you. Is that reasonable?”
Belle’s eyes widened. She didn’t expect Charle to say something like that.
She thought. “Haven’t the father and son always been at odds with each other?
“Why will Charle stand up for William?”
“Brother-in-law.” Belle said in disbelief.
“Don’t call me that. I don’t deserve to be your brother-in-law.”
Charle interrupted Belle mercilessly. “Every time you come here, you either give your sister a headache or disturb our family. Today, we finally decided to gather because of William’s birthday, but you made up some nonsense again. If you don’t want to be our guest, you can take your daughter away now. We can’t afford it and can’t entertain you well.”
Charle didn’t seem to be joking. He almost got up and made a gesture to ask Belle and Cherry to leave.
Belle had no choice but to swallow it.
What made them even angrier was that a sneer came from the side, which was simply a slap in their faces.
Holding back her anger, Belle tried to regain her dignity.
But after looking around, she still couldn’t find the person she wanted to see.
Immediately, she began to lose her temper again. “Charle, it’s okay for you to treat me like this, but where are the two distinguished guests I brought? Don’t you ask someone to invite them? They’re honored guests from New York!”
