Chapter 825: 007 Successful surgery_4

Jordy Wade, alone, how could he deal with Marcus Parker’s four children? Those four siblings would definitely band together against Jordy Wade, and when that happened, Jordy Wade’s days would plunge back into turmoil.

Celia Wade didn’t feel at all that she was thinking too far ahead.

Since Ellie Wilton had responded, Marcus Parker naturally did not—he didn’t even seem to recognize that his own children had arrived. He smiled and said to Celia Wade and Jordy Wade, "Let’s start eating."

"... Uncle, this doesn’t seem quite right. At this time, Mr. Parker and Miss Parker probably haven’t had lunch yet, and besides, the four of us can’t finish such a large table of food." Celia Wade felt that it wasn’t quite right for them, as outsiders, to be eating when the young lord and lady had just arrived.

"Yes, Celia Wade is right. Let’s wait for them." It took some time to walk in from the main entrance, and Ellie Wilton joined in persuading them to wait.

Jordy Wade sat quietly beside Celia Wade, not voicing any opinion and not moving his chopsticks.

Marcus Parker had no choice but to wait for the two children to come in.

Alexander Parker and Zoey Parker walked in, carrying large and small packages, as if visiting for New Year’s Eve.

"Dad, Auntie, happy New Year." Zoey Parker’s mouth was indeed sweet; as soon as she entered the room, she started greeting everyone enthusiastically.

Alexander Parker, with a stern expression, only reluctantly spoke after Zoey Parker elbowed him while removing her scarf, "Dad, Auntie—"

"If you’re reluctant to greet us, nobody asked you to come; it was your own choice to come here," Marcus Parker said sternly, irritated at seeing Eldest Son’s reluctant attitude as if he were owed something.

Before, it was because he had promised his mother that if Hannah Browman passed away first, he would mourn her for three years before marrying another woman into the family, out of respect for the fact that Hannah Browman had borne him four children.

Looking at his four children now, aside from Zoey Parker who knew how to behave, the other three sons always seemed like he, their father, owed them something at every meeting.

To think that in his younger days, for these four children, he had wronged his most beloved woman and the son he never knew, all to ensure that these four could grow up healthy and happy. Now they carried on with such apathy; who were they trying to impress?

Of course he was displeased.

Alexander Parker was also proud and aloof. Hearing his father speak like this and seeing that woman, Ellie Wilton, not even utter a peep, he told Zoey Parker that neither of them seemed to have any regard for them, and their visit was purely masochistic.

But Zoey Parker insisted on having him accompany her, and on top of that, she hadn’t said anything beforehand, which was already enough to annoy him.

"Dad, you’ve misunderstood. Big Brother is just like that, please don’t take it to heart," Zoey Parker quickly tried to smooth things over while gesturing to Alexander Parker not to leave.

She had people keeping an eye on the separate courtyard all along. If there was any movement from Anna Turner, she would know immediately.

So when she heard that guests had arrived at the separate courtyard today, she went to fetch her brother to come with her.

Usually, on New Year’s Eve and the first day of the New Year, she was expected to spend it with her in-laws, as those were the rules of a wealthy family. But this year was different; Zoey Parker had asked her mother-in-law for leave and made her way to her parental home.

As Marcus Parker’s daughter, her mother-in-law couldn’t criticize her; Zoey Parker had, over the years, contributed to continuing the family line by having both sons and daughters. Moreover, with her father’s status, her mother-in-law was somewhat respectful towards her daughter-in-law, and there were no major conflicts between them.

Moreover, Zoey Parker had always stayed within her bounds and never given cause for gossip.

"..." Marcus Parker turned his head away and did not respond.

"Dad, it’s like this, I heard you didn’t come home on New Year’s Eve, so I specially asked my in-laws for leave to come and check on you and Auntie. We didn’t mean to intrude, and we certainly didn’t know that Auntie had guests over today. Sorry about that, Auntie. If we’d known, we should have called first. If we’d known it was inconvenient, we wouldn’t have come to wish you and Dad a happy New Year."

Indeed, Zoey Parker had a way with words, not giving anything away with what she said.

Celia Wade pursed her lips inwardly; it seemed that dramas and novels really did not exaggerate. In these wealthy families, the two-faced nature of some people was truly unsightly.
