“That’s right… It’s more important for you to stay here and recuperate,” Wilson Batton added.
“How could I let you pay for everything? That won’t do… I have to pay for my expenses,” Bobby said sternly. He was against the idea.
From his perspective, he shouldn’t be spending the Batton family’s money.
“Bobby, we’re all family. Don’t worry about it… If you don’t do as we say, I’ll get angry… I’ll leave…” Sharon Lindt said firmly. She wouldn’t take no for an answer.
Annabeth Cates instantly felt her heart warmed…
She understood Sharon’s temper. Hence, she started tugging at her father’s hand. “You’ll stay if she asks you to. If you keep refusing, they really will get angry…”
Bobby seemed troubled…
After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded helplessly.
However, he still didn’t feel comfortable about spending other people’s money.
“That’s right… You’re a good man, Bobby,” Sharon said softly.
“I’m really sorry that you had to witness such a mess…” Bobby said apologetically.
“As Annabeth’s father, I should have properly welcomed you on your first visit…
“In the end, I ended up making you accompany me to the hospital,” Bobby added. He felt even more embarrassed now.
“It’s fine. You didn’t want this to happen either. Right?” Sharon said earnestly.
“Sigh…” Bobby let out a long sigh before shifting his gaze to Annabeth’s face. “Bring Josh and his parents to our house later… Get your mother to welcome them properly…” He said.
Annabeth nodded.
“Bobby, you’re far too kind,” Sharon said.
“It’s only right for us to do so,” Bobby said.
