Chapter 240
Robbie and Jens saved up a portion of their spaghetti and transferred it to Zetty's plate.
Jay happened to notice that and reprimanded them." Don't spoil her."
Robbie and Jens could only take their spaghetti back to their plates.
"Hmph!" Zetty grunted unhappily. She ran into her bedroom and slammed the door.
The sudden loud noise made Jay's heart skip a beat.
He turned to look at the tightly shut door. "Does her bad temper remind you of anyone?" He said gloomily.
Robbie and Jens were licking their plates clean. They looked up from their plates and blinked innocently." Her dad," they said in unison.
Jay was surprised. He thought for a bit and nodded. "That's right. Your Mommy doesn't have a short temper. Zetty must have inherited her temper from her scumbag dad." 3 Robbie and Jens laughed at the same time. 1
"What are you two boys laughing about?" Jay asked suspiciously when he looked at the two boys losing their minds.
"Daddy, sometimes when you wake up in the morning,
you have your tantrums and slam the door," Jens reminded him. 1
Jay, who had always been prideful and arrogant, did not seem to notice what Jens was implying. "Well, every man has some temper," he said unabashedly.
Robbie and Jens relented. They put their heads on the dinner table and ignored Daddy's words.
Jay glanced at his wristwatch from time to time. He was preoccupied with something.
His head seemed to be enveloped in a sinister aura.
"Does your Mommy always come home this late, Robbie?" He said through gritted teeth. There was a serrated edge to each of his words.
Robbie lifted his head and shook it like a rattle. "It's the first time that Mommy's home so late, Daddy."
The fires of anger in Jay's heart dissipated when he heard that.
"Give your Mommy a call and ask her to come back soon," Jay said overbearingly.
Robbie sighed helplessly. He pulled out his smartwatch and called Mommy.
"Is there something, baby?" Rose's animated voice was heard over the phone.
Robbie did not know what to say. He looked at Daddy helplessly.
"Ask her where she is!" Jay prompted Robbie.
"Where are you, Mommy?" "I'm having supper with Uncle Sean in a restaurant," Rose said honestly.
"Which restaurant?" Jay's expression was becoming darker.
"Which restaurant?" Robbie repeated Daddy's question like a machine.
"Zodiac Fantasy!" Rose answered, not suspecting anything.
Jay punched his fist on the table. He knew that Zodiac Fantasy was a themed restaurant meant for dating couples.
Sean must have an ulterior motive for bringing Rose there.
"Tell her to come back now," Jay commanded.
Robbie was at a loss. How should he get Mommy back without a valid reason?
Jay glanced at the tightly shut door of Zetty's room. "Tell her that Zetty is starving."
"Mommy, Zetty hasn't had dinner yet."
"How about you two?" Rose sounded worried.
"We've eaten, but Zetty didn't. She argued with Daddy."
Rose spoke through gritted teeth after a long while." How old is your Daddy again? Why is he quibbling with a little girl?"
