Chapter 207 Brian's Slippers

"Dad, Dad, you're back!" Gladys exclaimed.

Alston froze mid-motion while opening the car door.

He hadn't intended to stay; getting caught off guard was not part of his plan.

Yet, with Gladys’s voice ringing out, he had no choice but to acknowledge it.

He stiffly turned around to face Gladys, who had run to his side and was now hugging his leg. "Dad, Mom is making food. Let’s go inside.

Otherwise, you'll get a stomach ache again." Her voice was cheerful and sweet.

Alston's eyebrows lifted slightly, and he cast a meaningful look at Cecilia standing by the doorway.

She seemed to have figured out his health condition quite well.

He wondered how she guessed he would come over. Was she waiting for him the whole time? She was certainly scheming.

"Dad, Mom's porridge is really delicious. Let’s go inside," Gladys urged, tugging at Alston's hand and pulling him toward Moonlight Manor.
