116. What Typical of Parents
Last Updated:
2021-06-16 16:43:30Nicko who was standing behind Edmund looked at his father-in-law with a surprised look. What Josephine’s father did was really strange.
This man looked at a collection of worthless stones. He thought, how could someone who said they came from a respectable and rich family could not tell the difference between real and fake gems.
Meanwhile, Jo was still cursing Daisy with questions about where they had been last night.
“Tell me, where were you gone last night?” Jo asked, urging her mother, and made the woman who had given birth to her look nervous.
“Did Mom and Dad go gambling again?” Jo asked scornfully.
Because of the constant pressure, Daisy finally confessed where they had gone. Daisy’s socialite society invited them to try their luck.
Daisy and Edmund got a lot of wins, so t

Knowing Nicko’s decision who asks Jo for not working, makes Daisy feel disappointed certainly. The woman was worried about the difficulties they would face on.“You’re getting more impudent, how dare you ask Jo to be lazy like you!” Daisy protested.This time Jo and Catherine just looked at each other, then glanced at Nicko. Jo almost opened her mouth to defend her husband. But unfortunately she lost quickly with his mother’s chatter.“You’re unemployed. We take care of your food. It’s very inappropriate for you to tell Jo not to work today. What if Jo doesn’t work, can you feed her?” Daisy added.“If I don’t work today or tomorrow, we have no problem with meals, mom, even for the next month. After all, I still have three hundred million in savings,” Josephine, who thought her m

Now it was Edmund’s turn to approach his son-in-law. Though he thought about Nicko’s kindness, that prevented Howard from slapping his daughter. However, his prestige as someone with a higher status than his son-in-law has overtaken the pleasant image of Nicko.His pride really dropped when his son-in-law mentioned the gems he bought. They purchased the gems at a gathering of admirers of precious stones.It was a matter of pride for Edmund who has beat Mr. Bernard Bass who always wins gem auctions. Edmund thought that Bernard Bass was so broke that he didn’t beat his bid of fifty million. Even though Bernard Bass was receiving news that required him to withdraw from the auction, Edmund was the winner.Josephine’s father’s victory brought him to a triumph. He seemed admired and was given a standing ovation by all members of the association. This h

Hearing the impudent son-in-law’s challenge made Daisy and Edmund feel annoyed. They both looked at each other breathlessly.“Yes Mom, what if Nicko is right?” Jo added asking questions.Daisy answered her daughter’s challenge by saying that if Nicko won, then Nicko would be free from household chores for a week. While the daily work will be done by Daisy and Edmund, but apparently this is not approved by Jo.“A month!” Josephine said firmly, surprising her parents.Even though they were both sure of their victory, there was still a fear of doing household chores. Because during their life this middle-aged couple had never done it.Nicko smiled proudly as he caught the worry on his father-in-law’s face. That’s when he wanted to take this opportunity to dig up information about his wife&r

Nicko turned off the engine of his car as soon as he arrived at the center for buying and selling gold and precious stones. The five of them agreed to go on foot and follow Edmund’s directions, which determined where the gem would be examined.“We’re going to the First Gems,” Edmund said in lead.First Gems is the largest gem shop in the area, as well as the most famous gem shop in westcoast town. A shop that has always been a destination for gemstone collectors.All of them entered the building with the dominance of dark-colored glass. From the outside it looked like there was close. While, inside it turns out to have a unique aura.The image of the beauty and luxury of precious stones could dazzle Daisy and Catherine’s eyes. However, her eldest daughter is not as enthusiastic as her mother.Followed by

Nicko’s mother-in-law’s face was red and she couldn’t stop grumbling as soon as she came out of First Gems. Hudson’s insults and expulsions were unacceptable to them.“You are so stupid Edmund, how can you not know the gem is fake,” Daisy cursed at her husband.“How could I know it was a fake? It was auctioned off by the head of the jewelers’ association, and even Bernard Bass was disappointed because he lost to me. If you know how we fight over the auction price,” Edmund argued.“But the proof is, it shattered when it fell and hit the marble floor. Why don’t you check the gems before you buy them.”The husband and wife kept fighting in the car. It made Catherine who was with them feel uncomfortable because of the commotion. Her mother not only cursed, but also hit her husband with a

As usual, Daisy threw her bag as soon as she arrived in the living room. The woman shouted the name of her daughter-in-law to make a cold drink.“Nicko! Hurry and get me some cold lemonade!” Daisy shouted. The son-in-law who was about to enter his room stopped for a moment.While his wife raised her palm and prevented her husband to walk on. The blonde woman turned around as soon as she saw her husband did not take a step towards his mother. She firmly said to her mother.“Did you forget the deal you made with Nicko?” Josephine asked fiercely.Daisy, who had stretched her legs on the sofa, stood up immediately, because she didn’t like being opposed by her daughter.“What did you say? Deal? What deal?” Josephine smiled sarcastically at her mother, who either forgot or pretended.

Josephine was accompanying her husband, installing wooden shutters on Catherine’s bedroom window.Last night, this young man promised to repair Catherine’s bedroom window so that his sister-in-law could rest peacefully and safely.Catherine’s room, which was next to Jo’s, didn’t have two layers of shutters. It was very comfortable in the past, because more sunlight entered the room. But in the current situation, they certainly had to be careful, in case Armando came and hurt her again.The hot weather made Nicko have to take his t-shirt off. Showing his chest and abs which is like a bread and fine hair that grows below the navel to the bottom.Sometimes Josephine teased her husband by hugging him from behind and stroking his abs.“Hmm, what’s wrong, honey? Do you want more? Last night

Nicko stood looking at Catherine’s bedroom window, which he had worked so hard to repair.“Finally, it’s done,” Nicko said, looking at what he had just done.“This looks neat,” Jo said then turned to the side and found Catherine’s figure there.“Hey Cathy? How long have you been there?” Jo reprimanded then.“Now you can sleep well in your room, Cat. I’ve added a window for you,” Nicko said.“Thank you. I’m sorry if I’ve always been rude to you,” he replied regretfully.“Forget it,” Nicko said casually.The young man also looked at his wife who was looking down while playing with her fingers, as if something was on her mind. He put his arm around Josephine’s shoulder and whispered t

"So this is your doing?" asked Nicko angrily. This time her face was red and her eyes were staring intently ahead."Ha ha ha why? Does this sound painful to you? It's good that this sounds painful to you. At least this way you will know who you are dealing with, and you can think again about betraying my daughter!”Watson, you! Nicko rage. This time he was really angry that he couldn't say anything else. His hands began to clench tightly and cursed at the man who called him. No one ever thought that Robert Watson, Camilla's father, was involved in kidnapping his wife and child now.“You bastard Watson, what do you want! I warned you that I would never betray your daughter. It was just a silly game in childhood!” Nick replied.“Silly childhood game you say? It's a shame that until now my daughter still expects you and I still think of you as my son-in-law. I rejected several men including Matthew Young who is now completely independent for you but instead you maintain your stupid marri
The Pride 467 a Betrayal?
The man Josephine knew folded his arms across his chest and walked over to Josephine. "You wanna know why I'm here? Of course because I want to meet you sweetheart.”Of course, that man was Gerlad Jones, the most selfish man Josephine had ever known.“Aren't you tired of bothering me all the time? Don't you already know that you and I are no longer related?" Josephine replied curtly.Gerald immediately crouched down and leveled his position with Josephine. This time he gently touched Josephine's cheek and disgusted her former lover.Josephine seemed to push away Gerald's hand which kept trying to touch her. The more Josephine dodged the more he liked to tease her.“Your skin is still smooth and soft, only now you are a little different. You seem a bit stocky. Is it possible that you're already pregnant with that jerk's child?” asked Gerald as he whispered in Josephine's ear and started licking it.Josephine shuddered in horror, she almost admitted that she was now pregnant.

Now they also thought of taking a break, after all last night Jo had said that she wanted to share.With the help of Owen and Jacklyn, they spread out a table and put some food boxes there which will be given to anyone who needs them for free. This time it wasn't just Jo who looked so happy, but also Ian, because he hadn't spent time with his adoptive father in a long time.As soon as Nicko finished clearing the table and putting down some food, a middle-aged woman in shabby clothes came up to them. Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he seemed to be a homeless person."Sir, is this given for free?" the woman ask

At this time Andrew Young really pressed. He really didn't expect that he would suffer such a fate.The person he once underestimated suddenly turned things around in just a few minutes. In the past, he underestimated the Watson family because they had an economy class below him.Especially with Nicko, he had never taken the young man into account at all. Precisely thinks Nicko is like a pest that must be eradicated immediately. But now he is the pest. Even Chuck who became his ally also blamed him.“Chuck, you don't think about me anymore? Don't you remember our previous good relationship?" asked Master Young in a voice that sounded quivering with sorrow.Chuck shook his head and said again, “Didn't you hear what my uncle said earlier? We Watsons absolutely do not welcome a liar. Now you better get out of here!”"Chuck you,—" Andrew no longer continued his words. Instantly his lips were numb and could not say anything else.It was then that Mr. Watson immediately called his housekeep

Now that he heard the news that his youngest son had committed suicide, his life was completely ruined at this point.With unsteady steps, he walked towards the stage again. At that time he had seen the ravaged state. Everything was full of trash and no one was there.He walked unsteadily, but suddenly a waiter came to chase him, "Sorry Mr. Young, this is the bill for tonight's event!"It was then that Andrew Young immediately patted his forehead and muttered that he had almost forgotten the bill he had to pay off. When renting this place, he only paid half of the total banking services ordered by him.Currently, he can still breathe a sigh of relief because, in his account balance, there is still money remaining for the cost of paying off this event. But after that, he didn't know what to do. Not even sure I could buy a plane ticket back to Northern Hill.The only way back to Northern Hi

Andrew Young was struck by the statement of his former bodyguard. What's more, they actually restrained him and made him no longer able to move and bait the people who were now hunting him.In fact, now that he's really stuck, no one can help him. Wanted to scream and ask Matthew for help but now the young man is not with him anymore. Then, Mr Watson, he should be a man he can rely on. While Chuck is actually an ally of his. But their positions were too far away and it was impossible for her to scream.Even if he had shouted for their help, before Chuck had come here he would have been battered and bruised.Now all he could do was bully his former bodyguard again into protecting him. The bodyguards he had dismissed were a bunch of chubby bums. By giving them even a glimmer of hope, they would definitely move to protect him, no matter how difficult the obstacles he had to face.“Hey you guys, quickly save me! Do your duty as a bodyguard. Don't act stupid and piss me off so you guys tot

He kept calling her and asking her to come back.But unfortunately, when he just got off the stage he was intercepted by several people who had bought the medicine.One of them is Mr. Austin. He stood holding out his hand and blocking her from leaving. "Where are you going? Immediately take responsibility for what you have done to us! Give us our money back!”Some who had bought the drug also helped Mr Austin. They all seemed to surround him.“Quickly give us our money back!” cried the people shouting angrily.Andrew Young actually shook his head and tried to refuse, "No...no, you already know that if the items that have been purchased cannot be returned."But the people didn't want to understand and said to him loudly, “No you can't, this money has to be returned because you have committed fraud. Hurry back now or we will force you to take responsibility!” said Mr. Austin, pointing at him

Andrew Young smiled and shook his head, “Of course not sir. That price is a very commensurate price for what you get.”“Humph, you must want to rob us by paying such a large fee! I don't want to buy!” exclaimed one of the visitors.Andrew Young smiled sarcastically and said, “I have no intention of robbing you. I set a fair price as you can see at Mr. Watson's birthday party, and also the changes in me. You all have even touched me and felt the difference. So I think 2.5 billion is really worth it.”The visitors who surrounded him also spoke like a buzzing beetle. After that, he spoke again by giving an explanation of everything. “Don't all of you know that in our youth we spend a lot of time working hard, thinking about many things even makes us forget to eat and lack sleep. Often we have to eat fast food to save time. Don't you all realize the consequences of our old habits? Gradually everything becomes a disease that accumulates and paralyzes the cells in our body.
