Chapter 417: Fools

[Mama]

"Congratulations on your new car, Slater," Allison congratulated happily, reaching out to hold her youngest son's hand. "I'm really happy for you. You deserve it." Slater smiled arrogantly. "Thanks, Mom. I'm so proud of myself too."

"That's your car?" Jessa, who was standing near the table with her eyes on the entrance where Slater's car was parked, scoffed. "It's ugly."

Slater scowled. "Aunt Jessa, you don't even have a sports car. How can you tell?"

"It's ugly," Atlas commented casually while placing a handkerchief on his lap. "Aunt Jessa might not have a car, but her scooter's better than that. I would ride her scooter and not that filth."

"Hehe." Jessa snickered as she walked over to the table. Passing by Atlas, she ruffled his hair. "Good boy."

Instead of smiling, Atlas stiffened when he felt Jessa's hand run through his hair. "Aunt Jessa, did you disinfect your hand?"

"Why don't you smell your head and find out?" Jessa smirked as she sat down beside Haines. She raised an eyebrow at him. "What? Do you have a problem with me?"

"I'm not looking for a fight," Haines chuckled. "Don't look at me like you're going to butcher me. I'm innocent."

"Tsk." Jessa shook her head and clicked her tongue. "No man is as courageous as my husband. It takes a real man to handle a real woman."

"You mean a crazy woman?" Slater blurted out, flinching when Jessa's eyes glinted at him. "Hehe, I'm not talking about you, Aunt Jessa. I just remembered a script - hehe. Right, a script."

"You boys always come in just as we're about to close. I hope you all know how to wash dishes." Jessa shook her head. "Should we charge them double, Ali?"

Allison chuckled. "Don't worry about it." She winked, already having done just that.

"Mhm..." Charles cleared his throat and glanced at his eldest son. He knew Jessa and Allison would charge him double because they came in late. Before he could even ask Atlas to split the bill, Atlas spoke up.
