“Give me five grand,” Madeline walked straight up to Sandra and spoke matter–of–factly.
Sandra was stunned for a moment and said with a troubled expression, “Maddy, didn’t I just give youtwo thousand three days ago? Why are you asking for money again?”
Jacques came out to advise her, “Maddy, we don’t have that much money at home. Don’t…”
“Just tell me whether you’ll give it or not!” Madeline snapped before Jacques could finish.
The old couple exchanged a look, showing no intention of giving her the money.
Madeline was instantly furious.
“You old coots don’t know what’s good for you!”
With those words, she marched over to Sandra and began searching her pockets.
“Maddy, you…”
Jacques was helpless against her. When he saw her persistent attitude, he said in exasperation, “Fine.
fine!”
Then, he fetched a card from the bedroom.
“There’s ten thousand inside.” Jacques handed the card to Madeline and advised, “Be frugal. Yourmom and I are getting old and need to save money…”
“Yeah, sure.” Madeline did not want to listen to his lectures. She snatched the bank card and mumbledunder her breath, “Consider this a loan. I’ll pay it back.”
Upon hearing this, the elderly couple’s expressions brightened slightly.
Jacques reminded her, “Maddy, you must pay us back…”
“Yes, yes. I already said it’s a loan. Stop nagging me about it.”
With the bank card in hand, Madeline walked away and even gave Andrius a disdainful look when she
passed him.
“I’m sorry you had to see that, Andrius.” Jacques smiled wryly. “That child… We could never let hersuffer. so she developed such a spoiled personality. I don’t know what to do with her in the future.”
Andrius was just about to respond when Sandra said, “Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Dinner isready. Let’s eat before the food gets cold.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Jacques patted his head and laughed. “I’m really getting old.”
Then, the four ate together.novelbin
The farm–grown meal indeed tasted unique, but Andrius could not enjoy it. He could not believe thatthere were–families of martyrs living in such run–down houses in Florence.
As the Wolf King, he was to blame!
“What’s wrong, Andrius? Is the food not to your liking?” Sandra asked nervously when she saw Andriussilent and in a seemingly bad mood.
“No, of course not.” Andrius quickly smiled and explained, “It’s just that I’ve never had such a peacefulmeal in a long time.”
“Haha…” Jacques and Sandra laughed and said proudly, “The produce we grow is all completelynatural with no pesticides or environmental harm…”
Andrius listened to them chat and felt even more remorseful. It was said that one should repay anotherhandsomely for a small gift. The elderly couple treated him to such a nice meal, but what did he givethem?
Andrius finished the meal with a heavy heart.
“Sir and Ma’am, we’ll be on our way to avoid disturbing you further.”
After a short break, Andrius and Lyra bade farewell to the couple.
“Okay.”
“Take care, Andrius.”
The couple stood at the door and watched the two leave.
“Mr. Wolf King, where are we going next?” Lyra finally had an opportunity to be alone with Andrius anddid
not want to waste it.
Andrius paused. He also did not know where to go.
He had given Halle the Royal Gardens, and Noir’s garage had been abandoned after Noir left.
As for the Crestfalls…
That was another can of worms.
Vroom-
Just then, a Ferrari pulled up beside them.
It was Luna. She had been tracking them.
“Andrius, Lyra,” Luna greeted them.
Andrius asked with some suspicion, “Why are you here?”
“I was just passing by.” Luna appeared self–conscious and quickly changed the subject. “Andrius,Grandpa has been mentioning you a lot. He just told me that dinner is ready at home and asked me toinvite you. Get in the car!”
She opened the passenger door of the Ferrari.
Luna’s words made it hard for Andrius to refuse, so he had no choice but to enter.
“Lyra…” Luna asked politely, “Would you like to come along as well?”
She had spent a lot of time learning acupuncture techniques from Artemis Clinic, and New MoonCorporation and the clinic had been contributing to the martyrs recently, so they had becomesomewhat familiar.
Since they met, she had to at least extend an invitation. It was a matter of social etiquette.
“No need, Luna.” Lyra smiled and got into her own BMW.
“Okay. Bye then, Lyra.”
