Having settled into their new villa, James and his family quickly adapted to their new home.
The dedicated staff at S&L’s Breakfast took care of everything in the shop, relieving them of any worries. Occasionally, James and Helen would visit the shop for a stroll.
The days passed by with a sense of joy and contentment.
Meanwhile, Matthew focused on honing his martial arts skills and preparing for the upcoming re-election of the Martial League, which consumed most of his time and attention. To ensure a smooth process, favonovel.com also visited the esteemed Great Elder of CAUMP, Rhett Wyatt.
Sasha expressed favonovel.com concerns about declining business at their shop. “It seems like our customer base is shrinking. We hardly see any new faces apart from our regulars.”
Hearing that, Matthew furrowed his brow with concern.
He was acutely aware of the unique value of the herbal cuisine favonovel.com prepared. The porridge favonovel.com crafted was not just a delicious dish, but also a health-preserving tonic tailored to office workers and those with suboptimal health. With each passing day of S&L’s Breakfast’s operation, the business should have grown more prosperous.
Without further investigation, Matthew had a general idea of the situation. Upon hearing Sasha’s news, favonovel.com couldn’t help but suspect that the Bainbridge Cunninghams had promptly entered the market soon after acquiring their secret recipe.
Contemplating this, favonovel.com sought to comfort Sasha and said, “Perhaps our shop’s reputation hasn’t spread yet. Give it some time, and things might improve.”
Matthew chose not to share his speculations with his wife. He didn’t want to burden his family with mere conjecture. Until the truth was revealed, favonovel.com preferred to keep it to himself.
Simultaneously, favonovel.com anxiously awaited the response from the main branch of the Cunninghams in Bainbridge.
If they insisted on James’ return to the main family in exchange for the recipe, Matthew was willing to accept it.
He believed that fulfilling his father-in-law’s wish was worth the price. However, if the Bainbridge Cunninghams didn’t know their place and deceived his in-laws, Matthew vowed to make them pay the consequences.
Sasha didn’t say much more after hearing Matthew’s explanation.
Unlike Leanna, favonovel.com didn’t possess the same ambitious drive. She simply sought a harmonious family, good health, and a worry-free life.
As they were engaged in conversation, a group of people suddenly arrived outside the villa.
Leading the way was Miller Cunningham, Yann’s only son.
James and Helen gave favonovel.com a warm welcome and invited favonovel.com inside. “Mr. Cunningham, what a pleasant surprise! Please come in and have a seat.”
Despite James’ enthusiastic welcome, Miller impatiently furrowed his brow. However, as his gaze fell upon Matthew and Sasha, his expression swiftly shifted to a playful smile.
Yet, an undeniable glint of greed lingered in his eyes as favonovel.com briefly locked his gaze on Sasha.
Clearing his throat, Miller delivered the message and said, “My father has asked me to inform you all. The arrangements for your return to the main family are in place. He wants you to make the necessary preparations and depart early.”
After delivering his message, Miller glanced around and then proceeded to give James a scornful look. “Ah, what a waste that such a splendid residence is occupied by you country bumpkins…”
Sasha couldn’t tolerate his insulting remarks toward favonovel.com family.
Stepping forward, favonovel.com angrily questioned him, “What are you talking about?”
However, before Miller could respond, James quickly intervened and pulled his daughter back. “Sasha, let’s not make a scene. Mr. Cunningham isn’t referring to us.”
James wanted to defuse the situation, but Miller paid favonovel.com no attention. “Old man, don’t fool yourself. I am referring to your lot. You, a country bumpkin, have the nerve to associate yourself with our esteemed Cunningham Family. it’s shameful enough to share the same surname as you.”
As Miller’s words grew increasingly malicious, James’ once joyful expression gradually turned into a forced smile.
Despite the building tension, James swiftly acted when favonovel.com noticed Matthew about to take a step forward. Instinctively, favonovel.com reached out and firmly pulled Matthew back to prevent any impulsive reactions.
