Chapter 529 - Revenge 530: Father of the Year (1/2)

”This is the first time I'm not entirely enjoying my dinner,” Arion mumbled, but everyone at the dining table was able to hear him.

His gloomy expression is affecting everyone except for Stan, who is being more cheerful than usual. ”How can you say that, Arion! You should get used to this!” Stan said.

”Get used to this? Why should I?” Except for formalities, business over dinner, Arion has no other reason to dine at the same table with the Robertsons.

”You know what I mean by that! Do I really have to say it out loud?” Stan grins. His grins somehow annoyed Arion to the max. If his wife did not tell him so, he would not be here in the first place. Stan knows his temper, yet he is doing this on purpose.

Arion glanced at Layla and said, ”I'm sorry, Layla. I know I should be grateful that you cook this delicious dinner, but your husband is really getting on my nerves.” Now, Arion felt terrible that he is not enjoying the food that Layla prepared.

”It's alright, Arion. I don't blame you. Besides, I understand why you are acting like that. That idiot did something he should not have.” In Layla's opinion, she should be the one apologizing to Arion. When she heard from Stan what he is planning, headaches strike again.

'Why does he have to act like this? He is a grown man, for Pete's sake!'

”I, Stan's father, am ashamed at how my son is acting. As you know, Arion, he's been like this since he was young. I tried changing this side of him, but to no avail, he still remained the same.” Even Elijah is giving up already. Elijah is somehow thankful that his wife is no longer here to see how their grown-man son is acting right now.

'My dear wife, I have failed in raising our son.'

”This playful side of my father is one of the reasons why I didn't invite him to my 'Bring Your Parent to School Day' back then. I was afraid that he might be acting like the way he is now.” Lannie said, then she smiled sweetly at her father. She doesn't even look like she is sorry.

”Wha- You people are heartless! How could you gang-up on me like this? All of you against me? That is so not fair!” Stan sulked. He can't believe that his family is treating him like this. What did he do to be treated this way? All he did was, be the nicest son, husband, and father to them, yet this is what he gets?

'Where is the justice in this family?' He inwardly cried.

”First of all, Father, they wouldn't be treating you like this if you aren't getting on anyone's nerves.” On this matter, Kyle is not siding with anyone. He is neutral in this matter because if he does pick a side, his father might actually and literally cry for real.

”How am I getting on anyone's nerves?” To most things, Stan is oblivious to everything he has done, and everything that he has done is only going according to his plan. If it doesn't go as he had planned, then it will not work.

”Like what you are doing to me. You texted my wife, which you know, she will go along with whatever you are planning. I'm here and not with my family having dinner.” Arion gave Stan a smile, but it was not a genuine smile.

Stan puffed and said, ”You really want to know what am I planning? Fine. I will tell you.” It's not part of his plan, but to make Arion satisfied with tonight's event, he will have to share. ”As a good father that I am, I'm helping my son achieve his current goal.”

”And what is my current goal, Father?” Kyle raises his brow, then stared at his father.

”You know, getting Arion's blessing. Now that everyone knows about your relationship with Anna, you need to work harder to get that blessing! And luckily for you, I am here to help.” Once this mission is over and succeeds, Stan will claim that he is the father of the year.

”Thank you, but no thank you, Father. That is not gonna help me at all.” Knowing Arion, Kyle is sure that whatever his father is thinking, it will never work. Worst-case scenario, Arion might never give him the blessing he wanted.
