Elysia did not take the menu, only shaking her head. “Odalyn, this is more than enough.”

Upon hearing this, Odalyn said nothing more and handed the menu to the waiter. “Just these, please,” she instructed.

“Please hold on a moment.” The waiter stepped away.

At the Jackson residence, the stores had already delivered the clothes that Odalyn had purchased. Watching the pile of garments being brought inside, Logan’s eyes widened in astonishment. “How much has Mom bought?”

58%

Berenger, holding a magazine, lifted his cup of coffee and took a casual sip before remarking, “Why do you care so much? It’s not your money being spent.”

“Dad, that’s not what I meant,” Logan said, shifting his gaze as he edged closer to Berenger. “Dad, am I not your real son?”

Upon hearing this, Berenger raised his eyes to him, his tone filled with a hint of scrutiny. “You don’t want to be my son?”

“Of course not. To be your son is a blessing I’ve earned over many lifetimes,” Logan replied, his voice sincere.

“Speak up. What do you desire?” Berenger pressed, curious to know.

“Ah, you understand me well, Dad,” Logan said with a bright smile, his expression innocent and earnest. “I’ve had my eye on that off–road for quite some time. How about you buy it for me?”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Berenger swung the magazine at Logan’s head, playfully scolding him. “With so many cars in the garage, you still want another? Should I prepare for an expansion of the garage soon?”

“That would be perfect!” Seeing Berenger raise his hand again, Logan quickly sidestepped. “Dad, gentlemen do not resort to violence.”

Only then did Berenger set the magazine down on the table, irritation creeping into his voice. “You need to abandon that playful nature. If I were sick, the company would have to rely on you.”

“Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Berenger huffed coldly. “Report to my company next Tuesday, and as for that off–road car, I’ll agree to buy it.”
