“People nowadays are shameless and greedy, Mommy. We give them an inch, they take a mile,” Barbara replied sarcastically.

“Auntie …!” Frank’s voice suddenly came from behind. Chuckling, the man spread his arms. “Finally, we can have a dinner again. It feels like it’s been a long time.”

Seeing Frank’s familiarity with Vivian, Barbara’s head was pressed back.

“Is she the courier’s mother? But why does Frank call her ‘Auntie’? Is she my late stepfather’s sister? The courier is his cousin?”
