Chapter 1699

Zayn and Hana helped the old lady into the yard. The old lady then called out in a low voice, “Neo

Dixon, are you at home?”

“Who is it?” A very aged voice came from inside of the house. Logically speaking, the old man should

only be sixty-six years old that year, so he was not considered to be too old. However, that voice

sounded like an old man who was almost in his eighties.

“I am Cecilia and I am here to discuss the matter of the fifty thousand dollars with you.”

“You came back? Do you have nowhere else to go out there anymore, so that’s why you’ve returned?

This is not a shelter and this is also not a hotel. Do you think you can just come and go as you wish?

Who do you think you are? Go to hell! Get the hell away! ” said the old man. His door was opened right

when he finished his words.

A wheelchair then rolled out from inside the house, and there was an old man, who was stick-thin,

sitting on it. The old man glanced at Cecilia and his eyes were affixed on her. Cecilia was ten years

younger than him. She was just 45 years old when she married him. To him, who was already 55 years

old back then, Cecilia was still full of a kind of youthful beauty. He had enjoyed a new lease of life for

ten years after he had married Cecilia. He originally thought that after not meeting her for more than a

year, the homeless Cecilia certainly would be dressed in tattered clothes. However, never would he

have expected that Cecilia appeared to be very clean and in good spirits. She had a head full of gray

hair, but that also was a unique style.

“You...” The old man could not take his eyes away from her. He had been missing this woman every

day for so many days and nights, when this woman was living with him, he had lived a good life. He did

not need to cook for himself or do his laundry. He could sleep in every day and could take a quiet nap

every afternoon. Even if there were children playing in the yard, the old lady also would persuade those

children to leave so as to not disturb her old man from resting. In those ten years, the old lady had

been very skilled in cooking. He could no longer get used to the dishes served outside because of that.

Not only that, but he also realized that ever since the old lady left, although his children would take

turns to come over and serve him, none of them could be as meticulous as the old lady. In the end, his

children got tired of him. After all, they also had their jobs and had to take care of their own children as

well.

Among them, the person who complained the loudest was his eldest son. “Dad! You’re only in your

sixties. If it was according to the retirement age in other countries, you’re still not retired yet, let alone

being at that age where you start to become a burden to your children, when will this ever end?”

“Go...find that woman and bring her back. As long as she...could serve me well,” said the old man to

his children. They thought that it was the best solution. It was great! Therefore, they kept going to look

for Cecilia and kept harassing and threatening her. Their threats truly had an effect after they had

intimidated her so many times. At that moment, the old lady was standing right in front of the old man

himself.

When he saw that radiant and high-spirited old lady standing in front of him, Neo desperately wanted to

rush to her in an instant and hug her. However, he still wanted to put on airs. In that house, he had

been taking on the dominant position. This was because the old lady had no income and was spending

all his money.

The old man looked at the old lady with a sneer. “ What are you doing, all dressed up so glamorously?

Could you escape from your fate of being homeless when you dressed up so glamorously? I simply

don’t believe it! Even my biological children also don’t care about me, could your relatives care for you

for the rest of your life? In the end, you still have to obediently comeback to me! Hmph! How disgusting!

Hurry up, come in and cook for me! ”

Seeing such an arrogant and impertinent old man, Zayn truly wanted to go up and give him a kick. On

the other hand, Hana’s eyes were red with rage. However, the old lady stayed calm. “Neo, I'm here to

settle the dispute between you and me!"
