Chapter 827 I am No Friend to You!

August squinted at her with palpable dislike, "Thanks but it's not one of my plans to dine with you."

Lucia shrugged while Janet quickly uttered her quizzical protest to August, "I was only inviting my mother, and made the offer to you in passing. I don't really care if you'll take it or not." She then raised her eyebrows at Lucia, "Mom, get in quickly. It's so hard to get a reservation here."

August reminded her with a solemn look, "I gave Mrs. Adams a favor. And you are being so rude to me?"

The meal is only between my mother and me. As for the favor she owes you, please get her to repay you directly. Uncle, I am no friend to you!" Facing August's scowl, Janet not only exhibited no fear, but went with a sense of rebellion. She even straightened up towards August, ' You must be quite clear that I don't have a father to discipline me."

'Janet!" Lucia suddenly darkened her face and held her daughter back after getting off quickly. Don't be rude!"

Janet shrugged off the grip and turned to Lucia while turning her back to August. With a blink to Lucia, Janet pretended to complain, Did I say anything wrong? I only enjoyed the love of father for one year in my life. If my father really loves me, he won't have the heart to leave me growing up without his care!" Janet tried to observe August's reaction via the glimpse from the corner of her eye, just to find him as emotionless as before as though he couldn't care less about her words.

But Lucia was gawking at Janet in astonishment. She couldn’t help feeling bitter although she knew Janet was saying that as a trick, because she really thought life had been too hard for these two kids these years. She even began to blame herself for that.

Noticing her mother was getting upset, Janet immediately stopped going with any impromptu monologue. She hurried to huddle with her mother and please her in a cutesy way, "But never mind. I don't need a father because I've already got the best mother in the world!"
