“Gerard, Maria,” Hilda greeted them as she poked her head out of the kitchen.

They nodded impassively, whereas their two teenage children didn’t even spare Hilda a glance.

Gerard was wearing a white T–shirt. He held a Samsung flip phone in his right hand and wore a Vacheron Constantin’s watch of the latest model on his left hand.

“Gordon, you could afford a Santana worth 200 thousand dollars, but you couldn’t afford a better house?”

Maria Davidson, Gerard’s wife, asked.

There was a thick layer of foundation coating her 38–year–old face. She was a sharp–tongued woman who only cared about her interests.

heads off to university!” Gordon explained.

“Wait a minute. Why hasn’t Carlisle come out yet?”

Maria waved her hands for some wind as she looked around the house. Then, she said in disgust, “Why didn’t you install an aircon? Aren’t you all being overly frugal?”

Gordon quickly brought out the standing fan from his bedroom. Meanwhile, Carlisle slowly made his way out of his room to pour them four glasses of water.

“Carl, do you not recognize me?” Gerard asked with a frown.

“I do!”

Oh. Then, who am I? Gerard asked impassively.

“You’re Uncle Gerard!”

“Then why didn’t you greet me and your aunt?” Gerard asked with a tinge of anger.

Maria also said mockingly, “Where did all those years of education go?”

Suddenly, Hilda slammed her knife on the cutting board, causing the sound to echo throughout the house.
