Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 672 - : You Have Some Nerve

Chapter 672: Chapter 672: You Have Some Nerve

“Elder Sir, Old Madam.” Joshua Clarke, as the head of the family, spoke first.

He sat with his hands on his knees, looking serious and concerned.

“I am Cindy’s father, Joshua Clarke. This is her mother, Christy Xenos. And her sister, Wendy Clarke,” Joshua spoke nervously.

His hands unconsciously tightened their grip on his knees.

“We came unannounced, actually because… we just found out that Cindy got married,” Joshua said.

“That child, not telling us after getting married,” Christy Xenos followed, “If not for the day when Wendy ran into her, we would still be kept in the dark.”

“When I see her, I have to talk to her. Who does things like this?” Christy complained. “This is so impolite. Whose family gets married without telling their own parents?”

“Elder Sir, Old Madam, we didn’t teach her like that since she was young,” Christy hastily said.

“So after we found out, we hurried over, afraid that her deception on both sides would cause us to be rude and make you misunderstand that our family doesn’t understand etiquette,” Christy said seemingly well-mannered.

Old Madam displayed a condescending attitude, looking like a noble lady of the olden days.

She didn’t seem as gentle as she usually was.

Old Madam glanced coldly to the side.

It was hard to tell if she was sneering or scoffing disdainfully.

“That was quite presumptuous of you,” Old Madam said coldly. “Shouldn’t families who truly understand etiquette notify the host before their first visit?”

“Ask if the host is at home, if they have time, and mention the time of the visit, asking if it’s convenient for the host,” Old Madam continued coldly.

“But you came unannounced, catching us off guard. From your actions, I really can’t see how your family upholds etiquette,” Old Madam said sarcastically.

Christy hurriedly said, “Old Madam, you misunderstood. We didn’t have your contact information, so we had no choice but to come directly. Otherwise, how could we not notify you in advance?”

Old Madam raised an eyebrow and said, “Oh? You’re capable of finding the address of our family mansion but can’t find our contact information?”

Old Madam asked coldly, “Do you think we’re so old that our brains have become stupid?”

“You don’t have our contact information, but you managed to get our family mansion’s address. What a bold move!” Old Madam said coldly.

Her words scared Christy, who unconsciously fell silent.

Old Madam said, “Nobody has ever dared to investigate our family mansion’s address!”

“Do you think you found our mansion’s address because you’re capable?” Old Madam scoffed. “Our mansion is right here! Countless people pass by every day!”

“Many people want to visit, not because they don’t know the address, but because they don’t have our permission to come! People don’t dare to investigate, not because they can’t!”

“Old Madam, you misunderstood!” Christy hurriedly explained. “It wasn’t… we found out…”

“It was Cindy who told us,” Wendy immediately said.

Christy nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes… it was Cindy who told us!”

“After all… after all, we’re in-laws! Our children are married, but we haven’t met yet, right?” Christy said immediately, “So, Cindy told us the address.”

“We made arrangements to come today, and we told her,” Christy lied since Cindy wasn’t present, passing the buck to her.

As for whether Cindy would be disliked by Old Madam because of this, Christy couldn’t care less.

“I didn’t expect Cindy not to tell you?” Christy slapped her thigh. “How can she do that! That child, why is she always like this!”

“She didn’t tell us she got married, nor did she tell us about our visit. She’s messed up so many important things!” Christy complained. “Old Madam, this is Cindy’s fault.”

“I’ll tell her off later!” Christy pretended to defend Cindy. “She must have many shortcomings since she got married. There must be more incidents like this.”

“But she’s still young, please don’t take it to heart. However, if she does something wrong, please tell her so she can improve.”

Christy sighed, “Cindy has always been like this at home, never telling us anything. Since she was little, she’s been keeping many secrets from us and causing trouble.”

“But what can we do? She’s our daughter. As parents, we can only tolerate her. But who would be as endlessly tolerant as us?”

“She must have caused a lot of trouble for you since joining your family. We’re truly sorry.”

“Just like five years ago, she suddenly left home for Belfard without a word. She didn’t tell us until a few days ago when her sister met her. She just wanted to try her luck and develop in Belfard.”

“You see, if she wanted to develop in Belfard, why couldn’t she have told us properly? Why did she have to run away secretly, causing us to search for her everywhere at the time?”

“We’ve been worrying about her safety these years. Besides, if she wanted to try her luck in Belfard, couldn’t she have waited until she graduated from university?”

“Our family raised her, supported her through university, and paid her tuition fees. But after her first year, she said she wouldn’t study anymore. She took a leave of absence without saying a word and came to Belfard.”

“Her academic performance was average since she was young. It took her a great effort to get into Nork University. Although it’s not a famous school, wouldn’t graduating from college be better than just having a high school diploma?”

“I really don’t understand what she was thinking.”

Old Master didn’t want to argue with Christy since she was the one talking, so he remained quiet but was fuming inside. He secretly nudged Old Madam.

Old Madam thought he was impatient, but she had planned to speak up anyway.

Old Madam didn’t bother with Christy’s other points and merely questioned her about an inconsistency in her story: “Five years ago, when Cindy left without a word, were you so worried that you didn’t report it to the police?”

“Now with the Internet being so advanced, once you reported it, you could have posted Cindy’s photos online, and good Samaritans might have seen her,” said Old Madam.
