Lacey, who was in her room, clenched her teeth with all her might. She had heard the conversation her father had with Zeke.
She immediately figured out the intention behind her parents' fight. It was obvious the fight was but a deliberate setup.
Seriously? Are you guys sure I'm your daughter?
What kind of parents would matchmake their daughter in such a manner?
They actually tried to send him into my room? What the hell! Arghhhh!
However, Lacey opened the door and allowed Zeke to enter her room in the end because she knew her parents wouldn't give up until they achieved what they had in their minds.
“Lacey, please pardon my intrusion.” Zeke took a deep breath and enjoyed Lacey's lingering scent in her room as he finished his sentence.
Lacey instructed him in an irritated manner, “You're sleeping on the floor.”
She headed over to the wardrobe and got him a quilt.
Even the quilt smells great because it belongs to Lacey.
He lay on the quilt once he laid it on the floor. Zeke saw Lacey's feet the moment he turned around.
He saw her slender and porcelain-like pair of legs. Her legs were as delicate as her.
“I heard that woman with a small pair of feet usually give birth to a daughter. I think a daughter is great! I can protect both of you.”
Lacey's face turned gloomy all of a sudden. “You fool! Stop talking nonsense! You better stop, or else I'm going to throw you out from the window right now!”
The next day morning, Lacey headed over to the steel mill and reported to work right after she washed herself up.
She had become busier ever since they had procured another few factories.
Zeke was heartbroken deep down. “I definitely wouldn't have allowed you to take over the factories if I knew this would happen.”
He washed his face and headed out of Lacey's room.
Hannah had already prepared breakfast for Zeke. She greeted him enthusiastically the moment she saw him. “Zeke, hurry up! Come over and try the dishes I prepared for you! I have made you some xiaolongbao.”
“Thanks, mom,” Zeke replied with a smile on his face.
Daniel was delighted. “You're welcome! We're a family, after all!”
Zeke was indeed hungry and chomped down all the food served.
He finished a whole tray of xiaolongbaos almost instantly.
