In the morning, the atmosphere at the dining table was unusually depressing, pervading the whole hall. Especially, Noah, who was sitting in the middle, had a very serious expression on his face.
However, Elroy didn't notice the turmoil on the table. He continued to eat breakfast leisurely, as if it had nothing to do with him.
He drank so much last night that he didn't eat anything at all. Then he vomited all the food out. After tossing and turning for most of the night, his stomach had already been empty. When he saw the delicious food, he naturally had to gobble it up, without caring about others.
On the other hand, Hilton, who was sitting aside, had already prepared to watch a good show. However, the table was still in a stalemate, which made her come up with a plan.
"Noah, you don't look well. Are you feeling sick? Do you need a doctor?" With a worried look on her face, she said in a tough tone, "Why don't you call Dr. Wong and ask him to come here as soon as possible? Can you afford to delay Noah's health?"
Noah shook his head and patted his wife's hand, indicating that he was fine.
It was not a physical disease, but a mental disease. He was very angry. He had three sons, and he could rest assured to give the Lu Family to them and enjoy the happiness of family union. But how could it be like this? None of them was useful and disappointing, and now they had to rely on him to support themselves. Alas! The family was unfortunate!
He glanced at Elroy who was without any shame, and his eyes seemed to be filled with anger. "You unfilial son. How dare you have breakfast like a master? Why are you so happy? If it were me, I would have been too ashamed to see anyone! "
Elroy was confused. Was his father talking about him? But he had been obedient recently and hadn't done anything out of line. Why did he vent all his anger on him? It was interesting!
But his mother's words enlightened him.
Sansa knew her son well. She guessed that he didn't remember what happened last night, so he was having breakfast leisurely. In this way, he would be the one to suffer later.
"Elroy, stand up and apologize to your father. Why didn't you answer his phone call last night and come back so late? Don't you know that he has been waiting for you in the living room?" She pulled her son's sleeve subconsciously. He had to admit his mistake as soon as possible, or something might happen later.
Those who let themselves be guided by the current course of events are real heroes. Elroy was a coward. He saw the anxiety in his mother's eyes and knew that it must not be a simple trick. He stood up and said sincerely, "Dad, it's my fault. I'm sorry to let you down."
Noah also knew that the reason why Elroy was so obedient must have something to do with his mother. After all, he was his son. It was the first time that he had seen him apologize so sincerely, and it was not all his fault. The two of them had no feelings at that time, so it was inevitable for these problems to happen.
"Come with me to the study room. Let's have a talk." Then he went upstairs slowly.
Elroy followed him closely, because he knew that his father's action meant that things were not very serious.
At this moment, Sansa and Monica, who had been worried about him, were relieved. The lines on their faces also eased a lot. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a good breakfast and appreciated each other.
