You Of All People 159 Being Smug

After texting someone, Zane remembered that his naughty little sister was still on the line but when he checked the phone, the screen indicated that the call ended.

'Maybe I accidentally hung up when Dad was jumping', wondered Zane as he placed the phone on the kitchen island and beside it he sat himself on a chair.

"Call off your men. It may draw unwanted attention to us considering your Dad already made a lot of noise tonight. It won't be good if your grandfather finds out about this and take action too" explained Lorelei as she peeled Tony from her back and made him wash the vegetables.

Zane immediately send his orders to his people to pull out. 

"You too. Dismiss your people" commanded Lorelei as she pointed her finger towards the pitiful Tony who got snubbed by his wife. 

"Bu-but how about my baby girl?" cried Tony who looked forlorn and abandoned as he used his ultimate skill: puppy dog eyes. To appeal to his wife and maybe voluntary hug him. 

"She's safe. She told me herself. I've been telling you that but you let your panic get into your head" complained Lorelei as she put the ingredients into the pan. 

"Eh?! How come I don't know? Where is she?" eagerly asked Tony who was about to jump Lorelei but earned a very scary look from her. Warning him to do what he was told: wash vegetables.

"We've always been in contact ever since we left. She would always message me every single day" Lorelei said it with a straight face as she sliced the vegetables that Tony washed for her.

"Oh don't be such a smug just because our baby girl talks to you everyday and I only get to talk to her if I call her myself. She even won't reply to me immediately. Hmmp I won't let you get into my head" remarked Tony as he flipped his head to the side to show his indignation and crossed his arms in front of his chest in protest.

Observing his parents Zane wondered, 'Dad how'd you even see Mom being smug? I can't see any change in her straight face and stable emotions', then stood up to set the table.

"She's the one that chats me first without needing to pester unlike you" stoicly taunted Lorelei as she finished cooking.

'Mom really was being smug', commented Zane in awe inside his head.

"YOU" exclaimed Tony as he got irked and riled up so he did what always annoyed Lorelei: pinch both her cheeks.

Looking at his parents' rare childish squabble, Zane knew he had to break it up.

"Mom what did she send you?" questioned Zane as he helped out Lorelei put the food in the table. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"Eat up. You, get some water for your son" after talking to her son, she ordered Tony.

Even though Tony was being childish and kept on making weird faces to further annoy his stone faced wife, his body still moved to do what she asked him to.
