Chapter 140
Dwayne stood still for a moment, reached out and held her shoulder, pulled her out of his arms, “You’re injured, why don’t you rest properly,
Sonia stiffened, lowered her gaze, and bit her lip. “I was just worried about Brenden…”
“Uncle…” Brenden woke up, his eyes filled with fear.
Dwayne walked to the bedside and held his hand, responding to him gently. “Don’t be afraid, uncle is here.”
“Uncle, will you accompany me today?”
Looking at the child’s eager eyes, Dwayne remained silent for a while, then nodded and said, “Uncle will accompany you.”
Brenden grabbed his uncle’s big hand, knowing that as long as his uncle was by his side, he wouldn’t have nightmares and wouldn’t have to worry about his mother hitting him again.
Sonia didn’t care at all about Brenden’s situation, and when she heard that Dwayne was staying, her goal was also achieved!
The Acosta family waited until the food was getting cold, but they didn’t see Dwayne anywhere.
“Wasn’t it said that the son–in–law of the Lambert family would come? Where is he?”
Madam Acosta had lost her patience.
Needless to say, the rest.
Bryson’s face completely fell at this moment, he put down his fork heavily and stared at Dorothy, “Didn’t you say Dwayne would come? Are you lying
to us?”
“Dad, how could you say that to Dorothy!”
“You shut up!” Bryson was furious, even towards his son.
“He did promise to attend…” Dorothy started to explain subconsciously, but she stopped before finishing her sentence.
A dense and prickling pain in the chest.
He didn’t want to come, so he could have refused. There was no need to agree and then break his promise.
“You fool, couldn’t you ask clearly?”
Bryson completely lost his temper, ignoring the presence of others, and slammed the table hard. The table shook and a glass of wine spilled onto Dorothy’s clothes.
Rogelio saw the situation and also slammed the table and stood up, “Enough, Dad! Today is my birthday, not yours. I haven’t even said a word about whether Dwayne is coming or not. Why are you in such a hurry?”
“Besides, is this Dorothy’s fault? It was you who asked Dwayne to come, not me!”
Dorothy reached out and pulled him, “Don’t say anymore.”
Rogelio sat down heavily, he would have flipped the table if Dorothy wasn’t there.
Bryson remained silent with a stern face, feeling angry but increasingly frustrated as he thought about it.
Lizeth laughed at this, “There’s no need to make a scene with the children just to save face. Besides, if our son–in–law from the Acosta family was really from the Lambert family, wouldn’t it have been revealed long ago?”
