Chapter 272 - Faint out of stupefaction... (1/2)

”Seems like my little princess has already forgotten that she has another father who was craving for her attention here..” Mr. Smith said in a pouty yet cute voice..

Veronica turned her face towards father Smith and saw him sulking at her. Veronica laughed at his childish behavior and went towards him and wrapped her hands around his shoulder to give hem a big hug...

”I didn't forget you Dad. Don't worry, I love you more than I love your son.” Veronica muttered, making Mr. Smith smiled in triumph as he wiggled his eyebrows at Reuben playfully.

”Heard that son? She loves me more than you.” Mr. Smith teased making Reuben roll his eyes at him.

”Don't overjoy yourself. She just said so to keep this old man's heart. Nothing more cause everyone present here knows that she loves me the most.” Reuben retorted back as he took a seat on the couch along with Neil and Henry.

Lucinda also walked towards her father and sat beside him..

But after hugging him, when she noticed her would be father-in-law was also sulking like Father Smith, she laughed and gave him a hug too which made father Johnson instantly happy.

Seeing this, Willa felt a little emotional as she was missing her father who was not here with her which didn't go unnoticed by Mr. Lopez. He got up from his seat and hugged Willa quickly before saying, ”Why are having tears in your eyes darling? Am I not your dad too?”

Willa felt happy and hugged him back, ”No Uncle. It's just I missed my Dad but I didn't want to hurt you. You are more than a real father to me.”

”That's good to hear. Now come sit with me. As you see my daughter has completely forgotten me after getting her father-in-law.” Mr. Lopez sighed exasperatedly, making both father Smith and Veronica chuckle.

”Dad where is Mom and other aunties?” Lucinda asked.

”Oh.!! They are in the kitchen, preparing for dinner or more like gossiping together.” Mr. Wilson joked.

Everyone nodded their heads but Lucinda asked, ”Where is Louis then?”

Mr. Johnson looked at Willa and replied, ”Well, he also decided to turn into a gossipy queen like all of your mothers, though he gave a excuse of wanting to help them in cooking.”

”What? Louis and cooking? Is that even possible?” Veronica was beyond shocked, making everyone laugh at her reaction.

Right then the ladies along with Louis entered as he complained, ”Look my beautiful aunts. I just had wanted to help you and they are here making fun of me.”

”Oh my poor boy!! Don't worry... I'll scold all of them on your behalf.” Mrs. Johnson, Henry's mother said glaring at her husband..

”Okay everyone.. You can fight later but first have some evening snacks.” Mrs. Lopez said keeping two big trays on the center table being followed my Mrs. Smith.

The younger clan's mouth watered as they saw the yummy appetizers in front of their eyes and jumped on them while fighting with Louis for the best snacks, making the elders chuckle...

”What? I had helped them so much in the kitchen. So I deserved the big piece of the chicken wings.” Louis demanded.

”Shut up, you idiot!! We worked hard more than you by driving our girlfriends to and fro from our house, cafe, shopping mall and then here.” Reuben retorted back as Henry and Neil agreed.

”Enough!! Listen now all of you...we have a lot to fill everyone's tummy. So stop fighting like a kid and start behaving like some a.d.u.l.ts.” Mrs. Wilson scolded their kids with a strict tone.
