Xavier did not reject his mother.

He really did need a chance to resolve the conflict with his dad

Compared with his father, Xavier thought that he needed to be the bigger person and step down. The truth was that his father had never gotten angry with him as an unfilial son for long. Every time it happened, he was only angry on the surface, but in less than ten minutes, he would soften up. His promise to accompany his parents to watch a play or movie happened more than five years ago when he was in prison.

At that time, when his parents visited him at the prison, he was always brought out by the prison guards while dressed in his prison clothes and in handcuffs.

After sitting down, Xavier saw that his parents looked as if they had aged a decade. He stammered and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He never spoke much with his parents.

At that time, he heard his mother cry across the thick glass. She said, “Son, don't be sad while you're inside... In the future, be a better person and don't break the law willfully anymore. Mom and Dad still love you. When you're released, heed our advice. Get married and have children. Our family will be reunited, and we'll live peacefully and have a good life..."

His mother said a lot that day. It was mixed with crying, so he could only understand her vaguely. However, he clearly remembered that his mother said, "If you ever feel sorry for your father and me, then you can make it up to us after you're released... We don't need you to have any great achievements, just accompany us to the movies or play. We'd be content...”

When Xavier listened to those words back then, he was motionless like a person without emotions or soul outside. However, he was surprised that his parents’ expectations for him were so low.

It turned out being filial to his parents was as simple as that. All he needed to do was accompany them to a play or a movie.

For such a simple thing, he had never done it for his parents in the 20 years before he went to prison.

“Why is it that I don't feel sad or angry after hearing it? Instead, I feel like having a burrito. Am I not a sensible person, Bea? I know that my brother has gone astray. If he doesn't get sentenced to prison and reform himself for a few years, he won't understand how big a mistake he has made. Lanie and Rainie did not know what the context from Nina's text was, but they noticed the word burrito...

From the sound of it, it sounded delicious.

Lanie raised his head and asked Bianca in the passenger seat, "Aunt Bea, what's a burrito?”

“A burrito?"

There were a bunch of question marks in Bianca's head. She turned around and took her cell phone. When she looked down, all the restaurants she searched for were high-end ones. There should not be a burrito selection inside...

After all, the children's father was dining with them.

People like Luke were only suited to dine in high-end restaurants.

At that moment, Nina sent a third text message. Bianca happened to see it and clicked in to see the first two text messages.

It was then when she understood why the two little kids asked for burritos.

"Have you guys tried... Burritos before?" Bianca probably knew the answer already, but she just wanted to confirm it.

The two little kids said, “No, we've never tried it.”

If Lanie and Rainie had not grown up with Luke but with her instead, it would be a much different story.

The gap between rich people and common people was much too big.

The two little kids in the back seat of the car expressed their desire to eat burritos, but Bianca had to ask the children's father first.

Bianca thought that burritos were delicious, but a man like Luke might think of it as junk food— Unhygienic and unhealthy.

Since she did not want to argue with him in front of the children, Bianca thought about it and remembered that she could text Luke.

The last time when they were together, they texted a lot.

Bianca typed a message and sent it to the man driving.

“They want to eat burritos. Is it okay?”

After sending it, Bianca waited for him to reply.

Luke was focused on driving.

Bianca waited for two minutes and could not help but remind him with a guilty conscience. "I think I heard a text message from your phone.”

Luke did not hear the notification but picked up his phone and clicked on it.

It only took him a few seconds to see the message. Luke chuckled, typed, and sent, “Whatever you want.’
