Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 588: The Little Fox is ultimately no match for the Old Fox.

Sophia Brown and Benjamin Smith quickly looked over as well.

Adrian Zhekova had a smile on his face, full of confidence: “I said, I want to get a marriage certificate with Cindy Clarke, go to the Civil Affairs Office to get the certificate.”

“You’re not that old either, is it too tiring to take care of a child? You didn’t even understand such a simple thing?” Adrian Zhekova made fun of Christopher Smith again.

Christopher Smith didn’t bother with him and asked, “Why are you getting the certificate now? Why the rush?”

“Cindy was not willing to do it before; she wanted to understand each other a bit more.” Adrian Zhekova explained, “There are too many people today, how should I introduce her and Morgan later? It’s better to have an official status. It wasn’t easy for Cindy to agree to get the certificate with me, so of course I have to hurry.”

Adrian Zhekova laughed, “I’m afraid if we delay, Cindy will change her mind.”

Cindy frowned at him from the side. Was she the kind of person who didn’t keep her word and went back on her promises?

“So we’re going to hurry, get the certificate and come back. There’s plenty of time; we should be able to make it back before the wedding starts.” Adrian Zhekova said, “As for my son, I’ll have to ask you to help take care of him.”

“That’s what we should do.” Christopher Smith said.

Even if Adrian Zhekova hadn’t called, they would have taken care of Morgan since Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke hadn’t been seen.

After hanging up the phone, Cherry Swift quickly asked Christopher Smith: “What happened?”

Adrian Zhekova had his mobile phone on speaker, but Christopher Smith didn’t.

So Cherry Swift didn’t hear what Adrian Zhekova said.

Christopher Smith didn’t dare let Morgan hear it.

Although he hadn’t spent much time or had many interactions with Morgan.

But within that limited time and number of interactions, Christopher Smith knew very well what this little guy was like.

If Morgan knew that Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke were going to get their marriage certificate without taking him, the little guy would be angry.

He might even secretly go to find Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke on his own.

The little guy probably wouldn’t know the way, but he was very capable.

What would they do if he got lost? How would they explain it to Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke?

The cunning and experienced Christopher Smith had a thorough understanding of Morgan.

So he whispered to Cherry Swift about Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke’s sudden trip to get their marriage certificate.

Cherry Swift also whispered, “The two of them really don’t take the usual path. They had a child first, then fell in love. Even the marriage certificate is taken so suddenly.”

Christopher Smith couldn’t help but laugh, “I never thought that Adrian Zhekova would be so unconventional. And Cindy actually cooperates with him; they’re really meant to be together.”

It’s rare for two people to have such a strong chemistry.

With Adrian Zhekova’s temper, it’s rare for Cindy to like him.

It’s truly rare.

“What happened? What happened?” Sophia Brown came over and secretly asked Cherry Swift.

Benjamin Smith also went to Christopher Smith’s side, not saying anything, just looking at Christopher Smith with a pair of inquisitive eyes.

Christopher Smith: “…”

As a result, Christopher Smith and Cherry Swift, husband and wife, whispered the story to their spouses once more.

Both secretly, without letting Morgan know.

The little guy was munching on a pig-shaped cake, watching the mysterious appearance of the four of them.

As he was eating, he suddenly asked, “Uncle, where are my dad and mom?”

Cherry Swift and Sophia Brown were both stunned.

It was still the cunning and experienced Christopher Smith who remained calm in the face of danger, saying, “The two of them left the wedding gift red envelopes for the bride and groom at home, so they went back to get them.”

Cherry Swift was full of admiration.

Christopher Smith’s ability to find excuses is so strong.

In just this short time, Cherry Swift was at a loss for words, unable to find a good excuse.

Christopher Smith could come up with a reasonable excuse in such a short time.

Impressive!

The little fox is no match for the old fox after all.

Morgan didn’t doubt it at all.

He even thought that Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke’s memory was a little bad!

Such important things could be forgotten.

Christopher Smith was afraid that Morgan would think about it again and become suspicious.

So he was thinking about how to divert Morgan’s attention.

Who knew that Frank Smith would be so helpful, asking Morgan, “Morgan, have you ever played Call of Duty?”

“I haven’t. What is it?” The little guy really hadn’t played it before.

“It’s a shooting game, so much fun!” Frank Smith fiddled with his mobile phone, showing Morgan, “Look, I’m already a top ace!”

“Come on, you download it, and we’ll team up to play!” Frank Smith said.

Christopher Smith’s eye twitched.

He wondered what the thoughts of Frank Smith’s opponents in the game would be if they knew the age of this top ace.

However, fortunately, this small crisis passed just like that.

Morgan’s attention was completely drawn away.

***

Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke were on their way back home to get their household register.

Cindy thought of the matter about the Zhekova family that Adrian Zhekova had mentioned briefly before.

As there was still the most important matter of marriage certificate between the two at that time.

Adrian Zhekova didn’t elaborate on the matter of the Zhekova family, and Cindy didn’t inquire further.

Now that there was nothing to do, Cindy asked, “You said before that the family head of the Zhekova family can only be someone who has awakened the family head’s power.”

“Yes.” Adrian Zhekova nodded, “It’s not just the Zhekova family; all the Big Eight families are like this.”

“You said the Zhekova family has relatives even worse than my family.” Cindy continued.

“And the things they do are even more terrible than your family members.” Adrian Zhekova said, “Money, power, and influence are too attractive. It’s inevitable that some people are willing to pay a lot of costs and commit many evils for them.”

“But this is based on their own abilities. Some people have enough conditions and capabilities to do bigger evils. Like your family, Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke, they have ambition but not enough conditions to support them, so the evils they do are smaller.”

“But this doesn’t mean that they’re slightly kinder. Once they have enough resources in their hands, they will do more significant evil deeds. We have such people in our family as well.”

“Do they also covet the position of the family head?” Cindy asked.

“Of course, who wouldn’t want to stand in a higher place? Have more power in their hands?” Adrian Zhekova spoke casually about such a serious topic, not caring much.

“They were born in the Zhekova family, and they already have much more than ordinary people. They have tasted the sweetness of money and power. It’s inevitable that they would think, ‘I already have so much just in this position. If I could hold the entire Zhekova family in my hands, how much would I have then?’”

“Because the possibility is so attractive, there are naturally people who covet this position.” Adrian Zhekova said.

“It’s like the competition for the emperor’s throne in ancient times. The crown prince has been appointed, but why are so many princes still unwilling? The emperor is already in that position, but why are so many people still unwilling and wanting to take his place?” Adrian Zhekova laughed and said.
