Chapter 566: Mommy And Daddy Fought Again
Kane was riveted by the commotion.
Medal? He had never seen something like that.
Nevertheless, he knew that a token like that was significant to a family with a military background.
Medals like that were allegedly only presented to those who managed to accomplish magnificent feats.
In addition, the possession of such medals would elevate the family's standing.
They might as well be considered as distinguished members of royalty.
Alas, the Jadesons' second son may have ruined it all for them. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Kane also could not fathom Devin's uncle's choices.
"But why did he do that? A medal is symbolic of your family’s esteemed prestige.Were he and your grandfather at odds?"
Instead of outrightly berating his uncle, Kane chose to pose his questions from a neutral standpoint.
Maybe it was because of his own upbringing.
After all, he himself had gone against Chris's wishes many a time in his youth.
Devin nodded in response to his question.
"I think he wasn't fond of having his life set out for him.As the family's heir, from a military background at that, there were many matters that were forced upon him.For instance, his marriage and his job."
"If that was the case, that I think his rebellion wasn't unorthodox.Although, I have to agree that he shouldn't have destroyed your family’s medal."
"Yeah.That's precisely why my grandpa was fuming mad.According to what I heard, the state was so displeased that they issued my grandpa a harsh warning and recorded the incident as a major offense.My grandpa was so incensed that he didn't even bother to take a look at him when my uncle passed on."
As Devin lamented the Jadesons' tragic past, the atmosphere was somber.
In actual fact, Shin's name was still forbidden in the Jadesons’ household.
They had high hopes for Shin, yet he forsook the Jadesons for a woman and resulted in the humiliation of their family name in Jadeborough.
They absolutely detested him.
He was supposed to be the elite of their family, but that woman ruined it all for him.
It was impossible for them to ever forgive him or accept him as a Jadeson once more.
At his friend's reply, Kane heaved a heavy sigh.
"Then, I doubt your grandfather's illness is a result of his longing for your uncle.It's more likely an eruption of his pent-up anger all these years."
"I think so too"
Devin muttered with amusement.
As they carried on chatting, Kane's mood gradually lifted.
The band of friends finished up their final game before a call from the office came.
Then, Kane got ready to head back.
"The situation at your company just stabilized, so you've got to remember not to be too hasty and always discuss with others when making decisions.Also, don't bury your feelings.Got it?"
As the eldest in the group, Devin made it a point to offer Kane some advice before he left.
When Jake heard his words, he interjected with jest.
"He's right, Kane.I heard you even got your wife to work there.How impressive! You could always talk things out with her.Apparently, she's extremely competent."
"Shut up!"
It was supposed to be friendly banter, but Kane's face instantaneously darkened at Jake's comment.
Jake and Devin froze at once.
Shawn, who remained quiet at the side, turned to eye Kane.
They understood the situation right away.
Kane's foul mood was obviously because of the tiff with his wife.
Even after Amora was done with the day's work, she did not see Kane return to the office.
However, it barely bothered her.
His position as the president entailed countless responsibilities.
It was not unusual for him to knock off work late.
Amora continued to tidy her table.
Buzz...
Buzz...
Buzz...
"Hello?"
"Mommy, have you gotten off work? We're at the mall with Aunt Sabrina.Come quick! We're having ice cream right now."
The call came from Vivian.
The kids were at a nearby shopping mall and urged her to join them.
Sabrina brought them here? The thought of seeing her children put her in a cheery mood and she promptly left the office.
When she arrived at the mall a stone's throw away from their office, she spotted her children riding a carousel while holding their ice creams.
Where's Sabrina? Oh god.
Look at her at the claw machine by herself.
"What the hell? What is this broken contraption? It's obviously out to eat my money!"
Having failed at the claw machine multiple times, Sabrina raised her leg and gave it a hard kick.She indignantly threw a fit as she carried on striking the machine with her foot.
Amora shook her head at her behavior and headed straight for her children.
"Matt! Vivi! Are you having ice cream?"
"That's right, Mommy.You're finally here! Here you go.This is for you."
As a little girl, Vivian had always been the most affectionate of them all.
When she spotted her mother, she immediately hopped off the carousel and ran over to her with her arms spread wide open.
Amora quickly bent down and picked her up.
Matteo followed behind his sister but merely held his mother's hand.
"Mommy, are you fatigued from work? Did Daddy give you lots of work to do?"
