Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Cindy Clarke raised an eyebrow, “Not at all curious. Finding a phone number isn’t exactly a Herculean task. You run a restaurant in Nork City and have gained some resources, and you know Edward Lopez. Is it really such a challenge for you to find a phone number?”

Wendy initially wanted to frighten Cindy to let her know that if she could find Cindy’s mobile number, she could uncover more about Cindy as well.

But to her surprise, Cindy wasn’t scared a bit; instead, Cindy seemed to have expected this all along.

Was Cindy really this confident?

“I’ll give you a minute,” Cindy said impatiently. “After one minute, regardless of whether you’ve finished speaking, I’ll hang up the phone and block you.”

Cindy glanced at a beautiful clock on the bedside table and said, “It’s already been 10 seconds.”

Wendy wasn’t sure if Cindy was serious.

Would Cindy really dare to block her?

But she didn’t dare to gamble on it, so she hurriedly said, “I know you have a son.”

Cindy chuckled softly and said sarcastically, “Oh yes, so many people know.”

“Stop playing tough!” Wendy laughed coldly, “What I mean is, your son isn’t Adrian Zhekova’s. Does the Zhekova family know this?”

Wendy paused for a moment, then analyzed triumphantly, “Adrian Zhekova should be aware of it. After all, he knows when he met you and when he slept with you. It should be clear to him that your current son, being this old, couldn’t possibly be his.”

“I wonder if the Zhekova family knows,” said Wendy, “Or maybe Adrian Zhekova really loves you and would lie to his family for you.”

“Let me guess what he told them? He said that your son was both of yours, that you two knew each other a long time ago and were together, but then something happened and you broke up. Now you’ve reunited and found out that you gave him such a big son, am I right?”

Cindy raised an eyebrow; she felt that Wendy’s brain was indeed working rather well.

Except for the part about Morgan Zhekova’s identity, which she guessed wrong, her overall train of thought was quite accurate.

Of course, she and Adrian Zhekova didn’t break up because of a misunderstanding. However, the part about reuniting and finding out that she gave birth to Adrian’s son was correct.

Then, Cindy sincerely told Wendy, “The son is truly mine and Adrian’s. He is Adrian’s biological child, and Adrian didn’t lie to his family.”

As for the specifics, there was no need for Cindy to explain these to Wendy.

“Get lost! So what if my guess was right?” Wendy snapped, “These are just excuses that Adrian made to his family! You are quick to seize upon my guess as if these were actually Adrian’s excuses!”

“These aren’t excuses, but the truth,” said Cindy.

Unfortunately, Wendy didn’t believe her, “If you knew Adrian a long time ago, even if you broke up later due to a misunderstanding, there would not have been a misunderstanding when you were together initially, right? At that time, with Adrian around, would you have been so susceptible to my manipulation that you were suffering? Would you have had no status in the family, incapable of fighting back when being bullied by me?”

“Cindy, do you really think I’m stupid, or do you think that now that you’ve married into the Zhekova family you can spin a yarn as you please, and casually underestimate my intelligence?”

Cindy rolled her eyes; she hadn’t underestimated Wendy’s intelligence right until this moment, but now she wanted to.

Wendy didn’t believe her even when she told the truth.

“Your child can’t possibly be yours and Adrian’s.” Wendy contended.

Cindy snorted, “Oh? Then who do you think my child belongs to?”

“Mr. Lopez.” Wendy asserted resolutely.

Cindy seemed to have heard some joke, and incredulously asked, “What? Can you say that again?”

Cindy even scratched her ear. She feared she was under some illusion, or perhaps she hadn’t heard clearly and had misunderstood.

“I said your child is Mr. Lopez’s. Your son is Mr. Lopez’s, did I make myself clear?” Wendy slowed down her speech so that Cindy could hear more clearly.

Cindy raised an eyebrow and asked, “Who is Mr. Lopez?”

“You’re telling me you don’t know who Mr. Lopez is?” Wendy laughed coldly, “Stop playing dumb!”

“Didn’t you tell Dad before that five years ago, Mom and I plotted against you, schemed for you to be with Mr. Lopez, and schemed for you to have a child with him? How could you forget this so soon?” Wendy said shrilly, “Or are you afraid that Adrian will find out if you speak now?”

Wendy paused for a moment and suddenly thought, “Is Adrian right by your side right now?”

“If Adrian heard what you just said, would you be scared?” Cindy retorted right away.

Wendy felt a chill go down her spine.

If Adrian really heard everything, she wouldn’t be able to escape his fury while he scorned Cindy!

After all, this event was an embarrassment to Adrian, and Adrian would never be willing to let others know about it!

She wouldn’t be able to escape, either!

“Are you afraid?” Cindy asked with a grin.

Even though Wendy couldn’t see it, she could imagine the triumphant smile on Cindy’s face.

“Don’t try to bluff!” Wendy said hastily, “If Adrian was around, you wouldn’t be acting this way.”
