Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 712: Chapter 712: That’s My Brother Shen

Despite Adrian Zhekova not being in Pingla at the moment, many employees are still working overtime at the company.

What if they perceive a lack of sincerity and the word gets relayed to Adrian Zhekova, spreading from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred?

When it comes to matters concerning Adrian Zhekova, Wyatt Kirk felt it was never too careful.

“All right, I’m off to Pingla to get the invitation,” Wyatt Kirk chimed in, heading to the door to change his shoes.

Yet his mouth kept moving. “Dad, dad, just observe. Look, who is left to expect to do any task if not me?”

Mateo Kirk: “…”

“Get out of here!” Mateo Kirk couldn’t stand Wyatt Kirk’s smug attitude.

Under Mateo Kirk’s roar, Wyatt Kirk quickly bolted out of the house.

Mateo Kirk was puzzled.

Even Adrian Zhekova, the [insult], seemed to think highly of Wyatt Kirk.

Could it be what was described in the legends as “birds of a feather flock together”?

Little did Wyatt Kirk know that he was even classified by his own father in the same category as [insult].

Arriving in Pingla cheerfully.

It happened that Sheldon Rowland was also working overtime today.

Upon receiving Adrian Zhekoa’s message, he prepared the invitation ahead of time.

Upon receiving Wyatt Kirk’s call, Sheldon Rowland personally delivered it.

“Ayo, making you personally deliver that, I’m truly sorry,” Wyatt Kirk was remarkably polite, “I’ve interrupted your work.”

In Sheldon Rowland’s mind, he was amazed. When did Wyatt Kirk become this courteous?

Wyatt Kirk had not involved himself in the Company’s affairs, so, at work, Sheldon Rowland didn’t have many opportunities to interact with him.

However, from what he had heard about Wyatt Kirk, it didn’t align with the man standing in front of him.

The stories Sheldon Rowland heard about Wyatt Kirk weren’t wholly characterized by hearsay and rumor.

After all, he didn’t have any dealings with Wyatt Kirk, but people he knew did.

Moreover, quite a few of these had interacted with Wyatt Kirk personally.

Going by Wyatt Kirk’s previous behavior.

Sheldon Rowland’s friends hadn’t lied at all.

Only after Wyatt Kirk experienced Adrian Zhekova’s teachings, he became incredibly obedient.

Even though he still played around, he had become much more cautious as a person.

Therefore, when Sheldon Rowland met him now, it felt different from the stories he had heard.

In his mind, Sheldon Rowland was considering the saying that ‘hearing is believing, seeing is reality’. It turns out to be true indeed.

The ancients really didn’t deceive me.

“That’s not true.” Sheldon Rowland was also very polite, “It’s not a big deal, you’re too kind.”

Wyatt Kirk takes the invitation and says, “I am sorry to bother you empty-handed. I’ve brought some milk tea and cakes. You all have been working hard.”

“Wait a second.” Without waiting for Sheldon Rowland to say anything, Wyatt Kirk ran to the door, waved his hand and said, “Come, bring everything in.”

Barely after he finished speaking, a small van slowly pulled up to the Company’s entrance.

The door opened, and three men got down from the van, carrying boxes of milk tea and cakes.

“I summoned a few people, fearing to call in a loud crowd would disrupt the Company’s order and cause you trouble,” Wyatt Kirk said.

“You’re too kind,” Sheldon Rowland said.

“Aye!” Wyatt Kirk waved, “Why are you being so formal with me! Don’t be.”

“Thank you very much,” Sheldon Rowland laughed, “I’ll have them carry this upstairs.”

“No need for that. Don’t rush. I’ll have them send it batch by batch, that’ll be easier,” Wyatt Kirk said.

“No, No, No.” Sheldon thought, why has Wyatt Kirk become so considerate and courteous? This unsettled Sheldon a bit.

Nevertheless, ultimately, Sheldon couldn’t outdo Wyatt Kirk and let Wyatt’s people deliver everything upstairs.

Wyatt Kirk was incredibly polite before he finally took the invitation and left.

The questions Sheldon Rowland had in his heart were never voiced.

Had he voiced them, Wyatt Kirk would have told him, “You don’t know what I’ve been through.”

***

Just as Wyatt Kirk was visiting Pingla, the three members of the Lopez Family happened to visit the Kirk Family.

Wyatt Kirk had just missed them.

The Lopez trio entered, and Mrs. Lopez smiled and made polite conversation: “Sister, is Wyatt not home?”

“He just stepped out. Haven’t you run into him?” Mrs. Kirk had some snacks brought out.

She didn’t expect the Lopez family to suddenly pay a visit, and for all three members to do so!

The two families often interact during holidays, although it is Mrs. Lopez who usually visits.

Sometimes Richard Lopez would accompany her, but Edward Lopez was quite a recluse.

Unexpectedly, Edward came today as well.

When you look at Mrs. Lopez and Mrs. Kirk as sisters, their relationship was quite good before they got married.

Although sisters often quarrel, their blood ties never break, no matter how much they fight.

Something like the relationship between Cindy Clarke and Wendy Clarke is indeed rare.

However, when both got married and had their own ways, more often than not, they would think about their own families.

First and foremost, they cared for their own family’s interests.

You couldn’t even talk about their birth family, as it came only after their own home.

Especially after the two sisters got married, they inevitably began to compare with each other.

When they were young, they compared the men they married, and the strength of the businesses of the two families.

After having children, they compared their children’s grade and abilities.

If their children were of different genders, it would be fine. If they were of the same gender, there would be far too much to compare.

Mrs. Lopez and Mrs. Kirk had competed plenty of times in the past.

Although Wyatt Kirk and Edward Lopez weren’t great.

At least Edward Lopez had a higher education than Wyatt Kirk.

The words prodigal and so forth, were more often used to describe Wyatt Kirk.

As for this time’s party invitation, the Lopez Family had received one, the Kirk Family had not.

Early on, Mrs. Lopez had flaunted it to Mrs. Kirk.

Through backhanded compliments, she had in essence said that Mateo Kirk and Wyatt Kirk weren’t competent; they couldn’t even get an invitation.

Mrs. Kirk was thoroughly pissed off by that.

Seeing the Lopez family of three visiting tonight, Mrs. Kirk thought they had come to flaunt again as a group.

Mrs. Lopez then timidly explained the difficulty the Lopez family was facing.

Only then did Mrs. Kirk find out. It turns out, these people weren’t here to flaunt.

However, their predicament was indeed tricky.

How could they dare to help when they knew Adrian Zhekova was the one causing problems?

“This …” Mrs. Lopez was troubled and turned to look at Mateo Kirk.

“Remember, you folks didn’t get the invitation to the New Year’s Eve banquet?” Mrs. Lopez said, “Old Lopez will get you another one. It’s easy to get an invitation.”

Mrs. Kirk was unimpressed.

When she flaunted it before, why didn’t she mention that it’s just an invitation, and didn’t say that she would get one for them?

Now that they need their help, she brings it up?

Normally, were the Lopez Family in trouble, they wouldn’t ignore it.

But now, the Lopez Family had offended no ordinary person.

It was Adrian Zhekova.

Mrs. Kirk said, “Do not talk about the invitation, it’ll appear that we are helping because of the invitation.”

“In fact, since you have the invitation, Adrian Zhekova will also be there on the day. You might as well take this opportunity to reconcile with Adrian Zhekova,” Mrs. Kirk suggested.
