Chapter 449

Chapter 449

He furrowed his little brows, wearing an expression of annoyance, “Kane, knock it off with your wild thoughts My real dad is Arnold, he loves me and I love him. If you keep talking like this, not only would Dad be upset, I'd be upset too.”

Kane bit his lip, seeing his younger brother's resistance — he didn't like Leopold.

“Alright, I'll stop.”

William rose from his chair, donning his mask, then looked at him seriously, “You need to keep our secret, don't be a traitor, or we won't be brothers anymore!”

“You can count on me, my word is my bond.” Kane responded, he always kept his promises Downstairs, Jolin had just finished cooking, and Zack had just come home.

“Thank you, Jolin.” Elvis responded with a smile.

Jolin then served Arnold a bowl of soup, “Arnold, remember to eat more and don't just fuss over William.”

Arnold chuckled, “Jolin, I'm family, you don’t need to fuss over me.”

He emphasized the word “family”, clearly implying something to Elvis.

But as Avery had said, being considered a godson by Jolin wasn't the same as being a son-in-law. Zack raised his glass, inviting them to join in a toast. In his view, a man can be judged by his drinking habits. If he's a good drinker, he’s likely a good man.

He had always prided himself on his ability to judge character, but he had been fooled by

his ex—son-in-law.

He had thought Leopold was reliable, although he was quiet, he seemed dependable, but he didn't expect to have been so wrong:

This time, he needed to carefully assess if this Elvis was really someone worthy of his daughter's trust.

Leopold didn’t come to visit the Alcott family, which visibly upset the Alcotts.

Megan called him, but he coldly responded with “in a meeting,” before hanging up.

On Christmas Day, what meeting could there possibly be? It was clear he just didn't want to come. But Megan cared about her dignity, so how could she tell her parents the truth?

"Dad, Mom, Leopold has been busy with overseas matters these past few days, so he can't help it. He's already bought gifts in advance and reminded me repeatedly to bring them today.”
