Daniel rolled his eyes. “Silly girl! What are you talking about? What's wrong with Zeke smoking to release his stress?”
“It's what a man does to get rid of accumulated pressure! It's the same for drinking! Zeke, just forget about her! Join me!”
Lacey was irritated as she turned to Hannah instead. “Mom, look at dad! Hurry up and put their cigarettes out!”
However, her mother decided to take Daniel's side instead. “I think your father is right.”
“Daniel, why don't you go get some of your precious Yellow Crane Tower and share it with Zeke?”
“Zeke, please pay no heed to Lacey's words. She must have been spoiled by us back in the day.”
Lacey's parents finally realized how exceptional Zeke was after what happened today. Hence, their attitude changed as they finally learned how to cherish his presence.
Lacey was speechless at how her parents reacted.
Arghhhh! Mom! How can you betray me! You were the one who set the rules! You said no cigarettes allowed at home!
Lacey felt irritated as she sat aside on her own, ignoring the three of them.
Daniel returned with the Yellow Crane Tower he saved up for special occasions. He handed over a pack to Zeke.
“Zeke, Lacey and you aren't young anymore. Both of you should get married as soon as possible. I mean, you guys don't want us to worry about you guys, right?” Hannah urged them.
Zeke nodded. “Mm. Mom, that's what I have in mind as well. I know Lacey has always wanted a grand wedding ceremony.”
“Hence, I wish to hold a grand wedding ceremony at a grand hall that can accommodate at least ten thousand guests.”
“Do you think you're organizing a concert? A grand hall that can accommodate ten thousand guests? I don't think such a venue exists in Oakheart City,” Lacey mocked her husband.
Zeke replied nonchalantly. “Are you sure? If that's the case, I'll build one myself!”
“Haha,” Lacey replied in a contemptuous manner.
Zeke felt speechless all of a sudden because he couldn't figure out what his wife meant with that contemptuous reply.
Are you looking down on me? Hmph! We shall see! I will impress you and take you by surprise once I'm done building it!
Daniel and Hannah decided to call it a day and returned to their room after the TV session they had together.
