Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Living with the Zhekova family every day, how could Cindy not be influenced by them?

Yet when it came to their acquired temperament due to their respective experiences, Wendy couldn’t even catch up with Cindy if she was on a rocket.

It was obvious that Edward Lopez wouldn’t be patient either; he was just short of tearing his face with Cindy.

Cindy would naturally not tolerate him.

It was a joke; why should she tolerate Edward Lopez?

Did she need to tolerate Edward Lopez?

This would be an embarrassment to Adrian Zhekova and the Zhekova family.

So Cindy said, “You should understand what I mean, why do you have to dig deep to ask?”

Edward Lopez’s face immediately fell.

Gladys Joy, standing behind Cindy, laughed directly and wasn’t afraid to make things worse.

She gave a thumbs-up gesture to Cynthia Florine.

Cindy was awesome and straightforward!

Cynthia Florine nodded, “That’s why I like her; she suits my temper.”

Jasmine Hudson also said, “She’s just to my taste.”

Edward Lopez heard their words and was about to go crazy.

The three people, Cynthia Florine, each had their own family behind them, so he indeed didn’t have to provoke enemies and cause trouble for his family.

So even if he was angry, he pretended not to hear their words.

Edward Lopez, with fury turning to laughter, suddenly leaned closer to Cindy and whispered, “Little girl, if this is your trick to push and pull, I have to tell you that I have seen a lot of these tricks. I have also encountered many different kinds of women who want to attract my attention.”

“What you are doing is not even worth mentioning to me. However, I have to say, you are quite smart, knowing that things that come too easily are not worth cherishing, so you can create some difficulties for me.”

“Unfortunately, I saw through all of these at a glance.”

Cindy: “…”

Behind Cindy, Cynthia Florine and the others couldn’t hear clearly what Edward Lopez was whispering because of the distance.

However, seeing Edward Lopez’s smug and complacent expression, they could probably sense that what he said might not be something Cindy would like to hear.

“But, doing this is not completely useless.” Edward Lopez raised one corner of his lips.

He thought his smile was charming, but in Cindy’s eyes, it was greasy, raising one corner of the lips, very few people could pull it off without being disgusting.

Anyway, Adrian Zhekova had never done it.

Now seeing Edward Lopez’s expression, Cindy almost felt nauseous.

Edward Lopez continued, “At least you have made me remember you more deeply and, although your little tricks are a bit too childish, I appreciate the effort you want to put in to attract my attention.”

Cindy: “…”

She hadn’t encountered such a narcissistic person in a long time.

Adrian Zhekova and Morgan Zhekova were narcissistic, but at least they were narcissistic about the right things and had the qualifications to be narcissistic.

Although people often found Adrian and Morgan’s narcissism speechless, they couldn’t find a single point to refute, and at most, they would say they were not humble enough.

Edward Lopez’s self-perception was just unreasonable.

“Mr. Lopez.” Cindy tried to suppress her nausea, wanting to tell Edward Lopez about her marriage and their child, “I’m sorry, I…”

Before she finished speaking, a staff member from the dinner party organizer came over, “You are all here, great, we are about to go on stage for the awards ceremony, please return to your seats as soon as possible.”

Cindy still wanted to finish speaking, but she was pushed back to her seat by the staff member.

Cindy sighed, thinking she would have to find another time to explain it clearly to Edward Lopez.

She had just returned to her seat when she was reminded that she was the next one to receive an award.

Cindy prepared herself, and when the host called her, she went on stage to wait.

Who knew, the host then said, “Now, let’s invite Edward Lopez, Mr. Lopez, to present the award to Cindy.”

Cindy: “…”

Even Cynthia Florine and the others who were still sitting in the audience were stunned.

Gladys Joy muttered, “What kind of bad karma is this?”

Jasmine Hudson sneered, “Edward Lopez is just asking to die quicker, huh?”

Aiden Huxley hurriedly asked, “What happened? What happened?”

The gossip fire blazed in Aiden Huxley’s eyes.

They hadn’t had a chance to tell Parker Honi about the situation at the door.

Yannick O’Brian said, “I just saw you guys stop by the door, not knowing what you were talking about.”

“Oh! I know, let me tell you all.” Cynthia Florine, who loved gossiping the most, quickly gave a brief account of Edward Lopez’s narcissistic and somewhat stupid behavior at the door to Parker Honi and the others.

Cynthia Florine’s explanation was simple and fast because she couldn’t pay much attention to gossiping and wanted to hurry back to watch the stage.

Now, the stage was also full of gossip!

“Damn it!” Daniel Vahn almost slapped the table, “This Edward Lopez has a problem!”

Gladys Joy sneered again, “Because I’ve never had much interaction with him, I usually only hear what people in the circle say, but what they say is only about his love for playing, I didn’t expect him to be such an idiot.”

“Quick, look at the stage.” Cynthia Florine hurriedly reminded them.

At this point, Edward Lopez took the stage, got the trophy from the etiquette girl.

He walked in front of Cindy and once again gave a greasy smile, “Didn’t expect it, huh? I’m the one giving you the award.”

Cindy forced a disdainful cold smile and also whispered, “I didn’t get a chance to tell you at the door, and then I was called away by the staff.”

Edward Lopez raised an eyebrow, wondering what Cindy wanted to tell him here.

He gave an interested smile and said, “You want to say it here? Then say it.”

Not wanting to waste any more time, Cindy quickly said, “I’m married and have a child, so Mr. Lopez, thank you for your misguided affection, but I won’t have any thoughts about you and don’t want to develop any kind of relationship with you.”

Edward Lopez never expected Cindy to tell him about this.

At this moment, he was frozen in place, not knowing how to react.

He stared at Cindy intensely, what did you say?

Cindy impatiently pursed her lips and said again, “I said, I’m already married, I’m not interested in you, Mr. Lopez.”

After finishing her sentence, Cindy didn’t wait for Edward Lopez’s reaction, turned around and went down the stage to return to their table.

Edward Lopez lost his composure for a moment before the organizers noticed something was wrong and signaled the etiquette girl to discreetly prompt Edward Lopez to leave the stage.

However, before the etiquette girl could come over, Edward Lopez had already come to his senses and left the stage first.

But instead of returning to his seat, he came again to Cindy’s table.

Cindy turned her head and looked at Edward Lopez in surprise.
