“Daddy, this sweet and sour fish is amazing, just as I expected. The skin is so crispy. I love it.”
“You like it? Natalie loves this dish, so I made extra, just in case you two tried to steal all of hers.”
“So we have Natalie to thank for getting to eat such delicious food. Thank you, Natalie.”
Natalie felt a little embarrassed. She hadn’t helped at all, so why were they thanking her?
“Well then, thank your daddy for making us such wonderful food every day, and always with a different menu. Your daddy is a very talented man.”
Lucas said, “Thank you, Daddy.”
Liana added, [Thank you, Daddy.] Her small hands moving with practiced grace.
The scene was incredibly heartwarming, making Darren and Angela feel completely out of place.
“Natalie, you should eat too. If those two want to stand there and watch us, let them. We can’t just stop eating because someone showed up, especially since we didn’t invite any guests.”
Angela stomped her foot in frustration. “Terence, how can you be like this? I just can’t bear to see you being treated so poorly.”
“Our family of four is having a warm, happy dinner together. How is this poor treatment?”
Terence’s mention of a “family of four” was another sharp blow to Darren.
He snapped.
“Terence, what do you mean, family of four? Natalie is the mother of my children! What does she have to do with you? Don’t think you can just hire a chef to cook a few dishes and create this perfect image to fool Natalie. You didn’t cook any of this!”
“Hello, 911? I’d like to report a trespasser.”
Natalie didn’t waste any more words and simply called the police. Darren was shocked that she would actually call them.
“Natalie, why are you calling the police? Are you that desperate to get rid of me? How can this man be sincere with you? He’s just lying to you!”
“It’s not lying… it’s called… indulging.”
Natalie’s words stunned both Darren and Terence.
