Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

The next day, she went to work at the Restaurant, only for Mr. Lopez to come looking for her.

He said she had deceived him and threatened her, saying he would not let her off easily!

How dare she trick him? Mr. Lopez swore not only would she lose her job, but her family’s Restaurant would be forced to close.

From then on, the three of them would only have the northwest wind for sustenance!

And even if they were to rely on the northwest wind, they wouldn’t be able to do so in Nork City.

What could Wendy Clarke do?

She asked Mr. Lopez how he could let her off the hook.

Mr. Lopez said it was simple; she just had to find a replacement for Cindy

Clarke.

But Mr. Lopez wouldn’t settle for anyone other than Wendy herself.

Finally, Wendy reluctantly agreed to do it.

She bore Mr. Lopez a son, received the money, and only then managed to salvage her family’s current situation.

Joshua Clarke didn’t know about this, but Christy Xenos did.

Christy and Wendy were both filled with hatred for Cindy.

“If it weren’t for her, would you have had to make such a huge sacrifice?” Christy said resentfully when mentioning Cindy, “She was asked to do something to help the family, but she wasn’t willing. Everything the family has now, you provided. You sacrificed so much for the family, yet she ran off to make a name for herself in Belfard. Such an ungrateful little brat!” “Enough!” Wendy yelled, “I told you, never mention that incident again!” Her business with Mr. Lopez was the shame of her life.

It was something Wendy had desperately tried to pretend never happened.

Only she and Christy knew about it.

That’s why Wendy told Christy to act as if it never happened, and never bring it up again.

After giving the child to Mr. Lopez and taking the money, she completely severed all ties with him.

Wendy thought that as long as she avoided talking about it and slowly forgot, it would be as if it had never happened.

“Fine, I won’t mention it.” Christy also had a slip of the tongue.

Wendy was very repulsed at the idea.

Christy turned her attention back to the television.

Now the camera focused on Cindy, and Christy could see her clearly. “She ran away from us, and now dares to show her face so openly!” Christy fumed.

Christy rolled up her sleeves and said, “Now that we know where she is, let’s grab her and bring her back!”

“Our family’s recipe is still with her.” Christy said angrily, “We can’t let her get away with it! She’s never helped the family in the slightest. We worked hard to support her through college, only for her to drop out with no hesitation. All that tuition money, wasted! ”

“Isn’t she an internet celebrity called…” Christy took another look at the TV, just in time to see the name tag on Cindy, “Cain Velman.”

“That makes things easier. Belfard is big, but it’s not like we can’t find her. We can hire a private detective and I’m sure we’ll find her. She needs to cough up all the money we spent on her over the years! We need to get our recipe back!”

Wendy twirled her eyes, grabbed Christy’s arm, and stopped her, saying, “Mom, don’t be hasty.”

“She owes us, and we’ll make sure she pays up. But not now,” Wendy said.

“What do you mean? Are we just going to let her off easy?” Christy couldn’t accept it, “She’s part of our family, and she’s never done anything for us. She even stole from us; we can’t let her off the hook!”

Wendy’s eyes darted around, then she said, “Mom, have you ever thought that our family is not as it used to be?”
