Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 596: Chapter 596: Even with Self-Sacrifice, No Regrets, No Resentments

“Yeah, and it’s even been a hidden marriage for five years. Even their child isn’t acknowledged.” said one person, “There must be intense endurance involved, as if one doesn’t exist in this world, which isn’t something the average person can do.”

“How much trust must have been given and humiliation swallowed to do so?” another person says.

“Indeed!” Everyone around them nodded.

“That’s really not ordinary. Also, hiding for five years, one small slip and everything is lost. The emotions and youth you’ve invested can be gone in a flash,” someone sighed.

“That’s not really fair on their child either. But the child still seems lively and cute. It seems that even though Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke are in a hidden marriage, their life together must still be pretty decent,” someone else added.

In this way, with everyone chiming in, Cindy was portrayed as a figure who was wronged for Adrian’s sake but bore no grudges.

Cindy herself didn’t even know that she was being portrayed in this manner.

The conversation over there wasn’t audible to her on this side, and she was clueless about it.

“Did Adrian Zhekova bring out Cindy Clarke and Morgan Zhekova today because their five years hidden marriage has ended?” someone asked from the other side.

“That’s correct,” the one who spilled the beans said.

“Just reached five years? I think they wanted to use this opportunity today, given that there’re so many guests present, to formally introduce Cindy and Morgan. Otherwise, it would be difficult to replace another suitable occasion. They can’t just have a separate press conference or a banquet for the reveal, that would be too deliberate and awkward,” that person said.

“That’s true,” someone nodded and suddenly recalled something, “Hey, wait. How come you know so much?”

“Yeah, yeah,” someone else chimed in, “This sounds like a secret of the Zhekova Family, how did you replace out?”

“Ahem!” The person straightened his suit and straightened his back.

With his hands holding his lapels, he showed a face that said “I’m proud, but I should be humble” and said: “My apologies, I am indeed the team leader of the Lanarn Training Ground.”

As to which team and what, he did not continue.

Must maintain a sense of mystery!

How can he let people know?

This was what was going on in Elliott Quay’s mind.

Sitting next to him, Harry Dawson, who had initially set the stage for him, chuckled twice and then went to chat with Callum Stone.

“All set?” As Harry Dawson came over, Callum Stone asked.

“All set,” Harry Dawson nodded.

“Adrian Zhekova has really thought about everything for Cindy’s sake,” Callum Stone chuckled.

So, all of this was Adrian Zhekova’s idea.

From the moment Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke got together, Adrian Zhekova had been thinking about how to introduce Cindy and Morgan to the public in a way that would prevent people from gossiping.

They needed to be accepted rightfully.

For his brother’s sake, he certainly needed to tell the truth.

If he had to lie to them too, then these brothers wouldn’t be worth having.

But to other people, there was really no need to tell them about their own private matters, giving them a clear explanation of the cause and effect.

Even if he did, there would still be gossip.

Just in time to take advantage of the wedding of Walter Wells and Charlotte York, the people from the Lanarn Training Ground would also come.

Adrian Zhekova then came up with this idea.

He would not let Cindy and Morgan be gossiped about.

On the contrary, he wanted people to quickly accept them.

Then they could only push the responsibility onto himself.

Why had there been no appearance of Cindy and Morgan for five years?

Why have Cindy and Morgan suddenly shown up now?

Where did he get such a big son?

He used this excuse to let people know through Lanarn Training Ground’s tongues.

To make them believe that he and Cindy were not recently married.

But they have been married for five years and have kept it secret from the outside world for his sake.

In this matter, Cindy was not at fault at all.

If you have to say whose fault it is, it’s his.

Although all the people of The Big Eight families knew that Morgan was Adrian Zhekova’s son.

But except for a few very close ones like Zane Hamilton,

Some other distant people did not know the details.

They only knew that Morgan is Adrian Zhekova’s son, and that Cindy Clarke is Morgan’s mother.

As for the matter between Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke, Zane Hamilton and a few others naturally did not say anything more to other people.

Not even to their cousins at home.

But the relationship with Adrian Zhekova was not very close.

Therefore, none of them said anything.

The news spread from the Lanarn Training Ground.

Through word of mouth among the guests, the matter finally reached near Cindy and the others.

Only then did Cindy hear this version.

Cindy slowly looked at Adrian Zhekova. Adrian who had been quick to act the part looked back at her lovingly and with apparent guilt, saying, “These years, I’ve wronged you.”

Cindy: “…”

So this was Adrian Zhekova’s scheme?

“No.” Cindy shook her head in cooperation, “you’ve always been good to me.”

After speaking, she quietly asked Adrian Zhekova, “Did you arrange this?”

“Since we are going to use this opportunity to introduce you and Morgan today, naturally, we need a version that allows people to accept you two without gossiping about you. I don’t have the patience to explain our private affairs to irrelevant people,” Adrian Zhekova spoke softly.

Cindy nodded in agreement.

This matter was also discussed with the elders of the Zhekova Family by Adrian Zhekova in advance.

Therefore, they all knew about it.

Now that they heard this version being spread, no one was surprised.

They all naturally cooperated.

Old Madam held Cindy’s hand with one hand and pulled the Old Master with the other.

The Old Madam didn’t want to involve the Old Master.

But Morgan was in the Old Master’s arms.

Old Madam wanted to take Morgan too, so she had to drag along the Old Master.

In other words, the Old Master was just an attachment.

But he was an attachment she had to bring along.

Old Madam led Cindy and Morgan to the Hamilton Family’s side.

The Smith Family, York Family, Wells Family, etc. were all around.

“Old Hamilton, this is Cindy and Morgan, my granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson,” the Old Madam said.

Cindy greeted the elders, and Morgan quickly followed suit with great politeness.

“Great Grandfather, please put me down first,” Morgan said.

It had to be formal after all.

So, the Old Master put Morgan down and straightened his suit for him.

Old Madam Wells showed no fear today. Although Clifford Wells was still single, Walter Wells had finally solved his own problem.

Old Madam Wells was proud of Walter Wells today, so she stood tall and straight.

“Very good, very good,” Old Madam Wells laughed and nodded continuously.

Cindy had clear and steady eyes, and Morgan was quite bold and confident.

Feeling the danger, Clifford Wells discreetly retreated from the elders’ side, walked next to Adrian Zhekova, and whispered: “The marriage certificate hasn’t been received yet, and the news is already out?”

Their story seems so real.

Claiming to have been in a hidden marriage for five years.
