Chapter 40: Chapter 40

“Felicia, are our eyes playing tricks on us? Is Haylan cooking for us?”

Charlie looked incredulous.

Felicia’s eyes were red. She nodded and said, “Yes, our son has matured.”

Charlie looked at his son with gratification in his eyes.

He said cautiously, “Felicia, let’s go out later. Don’t alarm him.”

Felicia nodded.

Charlie took out 20 dollars from his pocket and handed it to Felicia. “Also, this is the money I earned from staying up late last night. Send it to Floris later.

“Tracy is going to undergo surgery. She needs to eat something good to replenish her nutrition.”

“Yeah.”

Felicia took the money and looked at Haylan, who was busy in the kitchen. She smiled and said, “Charlie, I have good news for you.”

“Is there any good news?” Charlie was puzzled.

Ever since Haylan left his hometown, Charlie had not seen Felicia smile like this for a long time.

“Do you know the food stall where I work part-time? Our Haylan is promising. Last night, he spent 400 thousand dollars on buying that food stall. Now, I’m the boss of the food stall,” Felicia said.

“Is this for real? Where did this brat get so much money? Don’t tell me he borrowed it from those scoundrels again!” Charlie’s eyes were filled with worry.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Our Haylan has cleaned up his act. He definitely won’t borrow money from those people. He was lucky and saved the life of a rich man. In order to thank him, they especially gave him 400 thousand dollars as repayment,” Felicia said.

She told Charlie the truth about what happened last night. She even used Eric as a witness to convince Charlie.

“400 thousand dollars?”

When Charlie heard this number, he was so shocked that his eyes widened.

He didn’t even dare to think about so much money, but did his son earn it?

How was this possible?

The next second, he glared at Haylan with disappointment and said, “With so much money, wouldn’t it be great to buy a house and marry a wife? Why did he have to buy a food stall?

“This brat is really a prodigal. Doesn’t he know that we want to have grandchildren?”

Felicia also reacted at this moment. She stomped her feet in regret. “That’s right. Why didn’t I think of letting him buy a house and marry a wife back then? This brat is too good at wasting money!”

“No, I have to teach him a lesson!” Charlie said angrily.

“Charlie, Haylan has just returned. You can’t do anything rash. Don’t scare him away from home.”

Felicia hurriedly pulled Charlie back.

“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing!” Charlie said in a deep voice.

After Haylan finished preparing all the food, the two of them pretended to be sleepy and walked over.

“Dad, Mom, are you awake? Wash up and have breakfast,” Haylan said.

Charlie’s expression was cold as he glanced at the food. Then, he glared at Haylan coldly and said, “What kind of food is this? I don’t even have an appetite by looking at it. What a prodigal!”

Felicia glared at him unhappily. “Charlie, what nonsense are you talking about?”

If there was one thing Charlie was bad at, it was to express his feelings. He couldn’t even say a word of praise and only knew how to educate his child in a suppressive manner.

Haylan glanced at the dishes he had made. They clearly looked, smelled, and tasted good, okay?

His father was really stubborn. He didn’t say a single nice. word. He was really an old man who cared about his reputation.

Haylan smiled and was not displeased. He poured milk and peeled eggs for his parents before sitting down to drink his own milk.

As he ate, he said, “I went to the hospital to see my sister last night. She said that she would bring Tracy home for dinner this weekend.”

“Really?” Charlie was delighted.

“That’s great. This is a good thing. Go and bring your younger siblings back this weekend. Let’s have a family reunion dinner.” Felicia was also overjoyed.

Floris had a stubborn temper. Ever since the divorce, she had never gone home once, afraid that Charlie and Felicia would worry.

In reality, Charlie and Felicia knew everything and had been secretly helping Floris.

It had been eight years since their family had a reunion dinner.

Suddenly, Felicia thought of something and said with a worried look, “Tracy will have surgery today, right? Let’s eat quickly and go to the hospital to see her.”

“Oh, I went to the hospital last night. It’s just a small problem. I’ve already cured Tracy. There’s no need for surgery. She just needs an intravenous anti-inflammatory drip to treat pneumonia,” Haylan said.

“Huh? Haylan, you really cured it?” Felicia was stunned.

“Yes, it’s just an abdominal hernia. It’s a small problem,” Haylan said.

“What small problem? Do you think I don’t know about abdominal hernia? The man next door almost died because he didn’t treat the abdominal hernia in time! He had large intestine necrosis and cut off more than 40 inches of the large intestine.”

Charlie’s eyes turned cold. He glared at Haylan and said coldly, “Hernia is such a serious illness.

You make it sound so easy. You don’t know anything, but you pretend that you do. You don’t even know how to brag. Do you really think you’re a divine healer?”

When Charlie found out that Tracy had an abdominal hernia, he especially searched for this illness online. He knew that this illness was indeed not serious, but some people would lose their lives because of it. He had to pay attention. to it.

Now that Haylan said it was a small problem, he subconsciously thought that Haylan was bragging!

This kind of habit was very bad!

As a father, he had the responsibility to help Haylan correct this boastful personality!

Haylan finished the last mouthful of milk and said, “Dad, if you don’t believe me, you can go to the hospital.

“I’m going to be late for work. If you want to scold me, do it when I get back.

“Mom, help me wash the dishes.”

After saying that, Haylan stood up and went out. He quickly disappeared in front of Charlie and Felicia.

Although it was a blessing to be disciplined by his father, Haylan did not want to be controlled too much. After all, he did not do anything wrong this time. He did not want to listen to Charlie’s nagging.

“Haylan, stop right there!”

Charlie stood up angrily. However, when he saw that Haylan was nowhere to be seen, he said angrily, “This brat is still as naughty as before. He hasn’t changed in the past eight years. He’s almost 30 years old, but he doesn’t even wash the dishes!

“Oh no, after being interrupted by him, I forgot to teach him a lesson about spending money recklessly!”

Felicia smiled. As she helped Haylan wash the dishes, she said, “Alright, Charlie, stop nagging Hurry up and eat. We’ll go to the hospital later to see Tracy. Then we’ll know if Haylan lied to us.”

Only then did Charlie sit down and take a sip of milk. He smiled and said. The milk is indeed quite delicious. His culinary skills are not bad. He’s almost comparable to a five-star chef.”

He tasted it with relish, drank a few more mouthfuls, and pulled Felicia to sit down for breakfast with him.

Felicia also took a few sips and her eyes lit up.

This milk was indeed delicious.

She smiled and said, “Charlie, you really don’t mean what you say. Haylan has indeed changed a lot. Praise him more in the future.”

“Praise him? It’s already good enough that I didn’t beat him up. If I praise him, he’ll be extremely arrogant. He has to be lectured, and someone has to control him! Otherwise, if he causes huge trouble like eight years ago, he probably won’t be able to get married, Charlie said.

Speaking of what happened eight years ago, Felicia also frowned slightly and did not say anything else. She nodded and agreed with Charlie.

Charlie tasted the milk and ate a peeled egg with a satisfied expression.

To him, being able to eat breakfast personally cooked by his son was already a great blessing.

He waited for Felicia to finish her breakfast before saying, “Felicia, our son has grown up. We can only control him for now. We can’t control him forever.

“We have to find a woman to control him. Help me with it. We’ll choose a girl for this brat!

“He has a formal job now and is quite tall and handsome. It shouldn’t be difficult for him to get a wife!”
