Casey Davies shook his head as he watched Amara Stevens look like she'd suffered a great loss.
He didn't care though, it was just a TV, he didn't usually watch TV. If he wanted, he can buy the whole appliance store.
Then, Edith Patel came, and Amara Stevens immediately greeted her with a smile.
"Oh Edith, you're so nice to us, you bought us such an expensive TV, your father and I are so happy." Amara Stevens said.
"Yes, our daughter is very promising. As parents, we are very happy." Nicolas Patel added.
Amara Stevens looked confused. It was not her who bought this TV.
"Mom..." Edith Patel tried to explain.
"Edith, I know you are filial. You’re my daughter and we don’t need to say thanks to family. We are so blessed to have you as our daughter, unlike that loser Casey Davies who lives off our family and never made any contributions to the family."
Amara Stevens interrupted Edith Patel and continued, "This TV you bought us is so expensive, we can't let Casey Davies touch it. I'd be heartbroken if it got broken."
"Mum, this TV..." Edith Patel got a bit anxious, Casey Davies bought this TV, it would be bullying if they don’t let Casey Davies touch it.
"Okay Edith, I know what you mean. Okay then, your dad and I will watch TV and you can go back to your room and rest." Amara Stevens didn't give Edith Patel the slightest chance to speak.
After that she even turned to glare at Casey Davies and muttered, "What a loser, my daughter is so good, why did she marry a loser like you."
Edith Patel looked at Casey Davies with an apologetic face.
Casey Davies smiled at her and shrugged off, "Let’s go back to the bedroom."
When they got to the bedroom, Edith Patel pursed her lips, looked at Casey Davies, and said very apologetically, "I'm sorry, you know my mum, it was you who bought that TV."
"It's okay, it's no different whoever bought it, don't be upset by trifles." Casey Davies said.
Then he made his bed on the floor.
"Thanks." Edith Patel was genuinely grateful to Casey Davies this time, Casey Davies had helped her so much these days, without any complaint.
She thought that Casey Davies was doing well enough, how about...letting him sleep on the bed?
Edith Patel's heartbeat sped up at the thought, and her face turned a little red.
If I let him come to bed, will he make a move on me?
And then if he couldn't help and...
Let's wait a little longer, he'll probably crawl into bed himself if he can't help it.
We have been married for so long, and it's reasonable to give myself to him if he really wants...
After a while of random thinking, Edith Patel went to bed and fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, Casey Davies went with Edith Patel to the Patel family house to see Francis Patel and to file a complaint against Albie Patel.
When they got to the door of the community, Casey Davies went to the tacos stall again.
"Two tacos." Casey Davies said.
Nyla Patel got a sinister grin on her face and said, "Edith Patel, that slut has got married for so long and didn’t let Casey Davies touch her. Now she was tortured by Jayden Marsh all night, I wonder what she's feeling right now."
"Maybe she's fallen in love with this feeling and is willing to be Jayden Marsh's bitch." Albie Patel smiled nastily as well.
It wasn't long before Francis Patel came down from upstairs, and Albie Patel and Nyla Patel immediately started insulting Edith Patel.
"Grandpa, you don't know, that bitch Edith Patel, she didn't come back all night last night to please Jayden Marsh, she's such a disgrace to our Patel family." Nyla Patel said.
"Nonsense! I know Edith, don't you dare insult her." Francis Patel snorted immediately.
"Grandpa, what Nyla said is true, I saw her eating with Jayden Marsh yesterday with my own eyes, they were planning to sleep together and Edith Patel kept leaning on Jayden Marsh." Albie Patel lied without blushing.
Francis Patel smacked his hand down on to the table and stood up.
"What! How dare she do such a thing to disgrace the Patel family! She really pisses me off! Get her here now, I want to ask her myself, and if that's true, she'll never get into the door of my Patel family!"
"Grandpa, I'm afraid Edith Patel hasn't gotten out of Jayden Marsh's bed yet," Nyla Patel said.
Francis Patel's hands began to shake, "How could she hang out with Jayden Marsh? The Patel family never gets on with people like Jayden Marsh, and Edith is slapping me in the face."
"Do you remember last time when we held an exhibition? We caught Jayden Marsh's men stealing, Edith Patel is deliberately trying to please him because she's afraid of Jayden Marsh's revenge," Albie Patel said, acting as if he had nothing to do with what happened last time.
"Well, she really pisses me off!" Francis Patel's voice was filled with anger.
Just then, the Patel family's nanny ran in and said, "Master, Edith Patel and Casey Davies are here and say they want to see you."
