A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 582

Seeing that he swallowed back the words, Esther was comfortable and asked, "What do you mean? Did you ask me to come back today to help you with the land? Not to invite me to dinner? "

"No! It's not like that.” Christ managed a smile and explained quickly, "Never mind. Let’s go downstairs to eat!"

Esther was very uncomfortable as she didn't like any invitation with a purpose. Without speaking, she put on a long face. But she didn't give the check back to him, given that it could save a lot of people. Besides, he was not lacking in money, so she decided to be a money-grubber for those who needed help.

They went down the stairs.

Esther stopped talking.

Four people were sitting at the table.

Esther and Hudson set aside. At the table, Hudson had helped Esther to pick her favorite dishes. Whether she was Esther or his sister, he had always taken good care of her.

But Esther seemed to be in no mood to eat. During the period, Christ tried to break the deadlock, but Esther said nothing, making the atmosphere more embarrassing.

"Esther, why don’t you eat. The dishes are not to your liking?" Hudson didn't know what she said to her father upstairs, but he was worried about her.

"It's OK. It's delicious!" Esther smiled, she had been used to cover up her emotions with a smile, especially in the presence of Hudson.

"Dad! Give me some money! " Ethel suddenly said.

Everyone was stunned, including Esther.

"Our charity has run out of money. Borrow us first! We’ll pay you back!" said Ethel.

Christ was stunned, "What? How much do you want?”

"Millions, I’ll make a quick turnover!"

"I have three million here. Take it!" Esther handed the check over. “Here you are!"

Ethel was surprised. “This is what daddy gave you?"

"Well! But it's not for me, it's about to donate! For good!"

"OK! Good for you! Dad never does a good deed, but you succeed in reaching an agreement with him! Good, great. Then the money will not be returned. Dad, I need more. How can three million be enough? We are a family. I’ll give you a discount. How about seven million!" Ethel suddenly turned his eyes treacherously, staring at Christ's more iron face.

Esther was stunned and said, "Never does the good deed?"

Hudson was speechless.

Christ was embarrassed, pointing to Ethel. "He was asking too much! Did I do nothing good?"

"Well, Dad, you're tight with money. Don't cover up! As your son, I won't laugh at you. You don't have a problem, Hudson?" Ethel smiled at Hudson and reached out to Christ. “Give me the money. You have a daughter. Is it worth 10 million? It's going to take tens of millions to celebrate?"

Hudson remained speechless, staying himself out of it.

Christ said immediately, "I give you seven million for Esther's sake, and you don't need to return it!"

"Oh! Daddy, you are so generous! "

"You just call me dad when you ask me for money! Can I give it to you?" said Christ. “Have you shown any respect to me?"

"Good! Dad, you can get it now so that I'll leave soon! I'm full, Esther. I'll send you back, or do you want Hudson to send you back? Have you finished eating? " Ethel urged.

"I'm full too! Give me a ride!" Esther also wiped her mouth with the paper. "Hudson, I'll go first!"

Christ was stunned and looked at Esther. He may feel that he said something wrong today. Maybe he could not speak so frankly to Esther. “Have some more. I'll get the check!"

Ethel waited.

Hudson said, "Esther, are you full? Do you want me to drive you back?"

"Well! I'm full, I'm full! " Esther immediately replied. “No, Hudson, Ethel can give me a ride!"

Hudson smiled bitterly. He could give her a ride too.

But Esther no longer needed him as she used to be! There was some loss, melancholy spread in his heart. He was depressed at the thought of that.

Ethel was stunned, feeling that Hudson was disappointed. He took a look at Esther, who was motionless. Ethel sighed that it must be very hard for Hudson who found out the girl he had loved for ten years turned out to be his sister!

Christ came back with the check and said meaningfully, "When can you do something for the Ball family? Then I’ll be willing to give you money."

"Well! Dad, thanks. I can't say that! I don't agree! " Ethel chuckled. “Hudson, we're leaving!"

Ethel took Esther out, and Hudson and Christ’s eyes were lingering on their back.
