Chapter 654 A Day Out With Stanley
Alex brought Stanley out with him early in the morning. Carmen was about to pick on her son-in-law, but Heather stopped her.
Staring at the departing father-son duo, Heather wondered if they would truly leave her someday.
Alex was in a great mood with Stanley was next to him in the car. Whenever his son was around, he thought nothing else mattered.
Thrilled by the upcoming agenda, the little boy asked, “Daddy, where are we going?”
“We’ll go to the amusement park! I’ll take you to try the rides you’ve always wanted to try!”
He finally had time to accompany his son over the weekend. Therefore, he thought of spending some quality time with his son.
The amusement park was crowded with people from all over the city. Alex held Stanley’s hand and showed him around the park, fulfilling his wishes.
Alex was contented when he saw Stanley smiling throughout his time with him at the park.
When Stanley was riding the merry-go-round, a woman ruined the peaceful atmosphere by exclaiming. “Hey, isn’t this the good-for-nothing neighbor of ours? What’s your name again? Alex? Are you here with
your son?”
Alex turned around and noticed a family of three, including a man and a woman in their mid-thirties as well as a little girl, had shown up behind him.
Who are they? Oh! They’re the so-called neighbors. If my memory serves me right, they’re Joseph and Wendy. What do they want from me? We’re not really acquainted with one another, are we?
Confused by the reason the woman with an ostentatious outfit had struck up a conversation with him, he asked, “What do you want from me?”
“What do you think? I can’t possibly ask for something from a loser like you, can I?” Wendy remarked with a scowl.
After she finished her sentence, Alex turned around, indicating he had no intention to carry on with the conversation.
Unable to stand the man she deemed a loser ignoring her, she added, “It must be our unlucky day to run into you here! I bet you can’t mooch off the stony-broke Jenningses anymore, right?”
She took the chance to insult the Jenningses, since her family wasn’t a match for the Jenningses in terms of wealth a few years ago.
Meanwhile, Joseph remained silent throughout the conversation of his wife with Alex. It seemed as if he was afraid of defying her as well.
On the other hand, Alex had no intention to let others ruin his day just yet. He asked nonchalantly in return, “What does the Jenningses’ situation have to do with you?”
