CHAPTER 299: CHAPTER 299: SPECIFICALLY HERE FOR HIM

Adrian Walyon thoughtfully pondered over her words.

He actually minded this aspect quite a bit, but it’s not a problem that can’t be solved.

After a moment of silence, he tossed her a sentence, "If it gets bothersome, just leave them at home. With everyone there, mom, grandpa, they should be happy to help with care."

Summer Sutton had a strong opinion on this, "Do you think you’re raising a cat or a dog?"

When you find them cute, be affectionate; when they’re a nuisance, just pass the responsibility onto others.

Adrian Walyon shot her a sideways glance and nonchalantly spat out, "Don’t you treat your cat like it’s your son?"

Summer Sutton was momentarily stumped, unsure of how to refute him.

She found discussing this topic with Adrian Walyon particularly pointless.

What father treats their child like a cat and can still be so righteous about it?

Summer Sutton believed Adrian Walyon didn’t truly like children.

At most, he found children momentarily adorable and got impulsive about wanting one.

Once they actually have one, his enthusiasm for the child wouldn’t exceed a month.

"You promised me we wouldn’t consider this issue so soon." She threw out a sentence and ended the topic.

The car continued driving down the road.

Just about home, Diana Wood called.

She called incessantly reminding Adrian Walyon that tomorrow is Father Walyon’s birthday, and that he must attend.

Summer Sutton sat beside him, just happened to overhear their conversation and noted the matter.

She was a smart woman, whatever the nature of her marriage to Adrian Walyon, at present she was part of the Walyon Family, that was a fact.

For any family major event, she’d definitely attend when she should, not giving Diana Wood the chance to gossip about her.

...

Father Walyon’s birthday was not prepared grandly due to the Walyon Family’s dislike for flamboyance.

Yet the Walyon Family had many relatives and friends, so a considerable number of people attended.

The presents alone were enough to stack into a small mountain at home.

Adrian Walyon, as the biological son, was obliged to mingle.

Ryan Walyon was treated like another son by Father Walyon, so Ryan Walyon was called over to help with the socializing too.

Summer Sutton didn’t drink, she held Sophie Walyon’s hand, walked around the venue, and smiled while chatting with several close relatives.

At eight in the evening, Gina Sutton and William Sutton unexpectedly arrived at the scene.

Upon seeing Father Walyon, William Sutton was particularly affable, "Big brother, I knew today was your birthday, so I made sure to come."

Between the Sutton Family and the Walyon Family, the Old Master generation indeed had deep sentiments.

Father Walyon and William Sutton were just ordinary friends, not close enough to call each other buddy.

William Sutton’s closeness was nearly ingratiating.

Father Walyon was an amiable person, a guest should be treated well, regardless of whether they were invited.

"Since you’re here, have a seat!" He threw the father and daughter pair a sentence, and then continued chatting with others.

After taking a round at the venue, Gina Sutton caught sight of Summer Sutton’s figure from a distance, her fingertips fiercely clenched into her palm.

She took a drink from a servant’s hand, gulped it down in one go, and spent quite a while calming all the grudges in her chest, before her gaze turned towards Ryan Walyon.

Her attendance today was not because of Summer Sutton, but because of Ryan Walyon.

Any occasion that allowed her to get close to Ryan Walyon, Gina Sutton wouldn’t want to miss.

Ryan Walyon was her only chance to enter the Walyon Family!

...

Ryan Walyon was being toasted; with so many guests present, only a few members of the Walyon Family were hosting.

Father Walyon, being middle-aged, didn’t drink much, and the Old Master even less likely.

Nearly all the toasts from guests were taken by him and Adrian Walyon.
