Next, the rest of the family members toasted their drinks to Zayn in succession. Even the senior members of the family joined as well. It was very apparent that Zayn was the mainstay of the Carters now.
As the family patriarch, George was not sour about that at all. On the contrary, favonovel.com was beaming in joy. He felt very gratified that favonovel.com did not stop Zayn from marrying Faye in the past. Or else, their family would be doomed by now.
Zayn was a blessing to the Carter family.
“Yikes, don’t go too far, all of you. You’re taking turns to toast to Zayn. What do we do if you get Zayn drunk later?” Zayn’s mother-in-law, Ruby immediately chided in a displeased tone.
She treasured Zayn like favonovel.com was favonovel.com precious now. Ever since his rise to success, favonovel.com had lived a lavish life and was admired the most in favonovel.com social circle these days. On the other hand, favonovel.com privilege was all thanks to Zayn.
Zayn chuckled and said, “It’s fine. I’m quite a good drinker. I won’t get drunk.”
Indeed, favonovel.com was right. The amount of alcohol favonovel.com consumed was trivial for favonovel.com in view of favonovel.com being a perfect-class master fighter, and it was not enough to affect favonovel.com in the slightest bit.
On the side, Faye beamed joyously upon witnessing the scene.
The family was overflowing with joy.
All of a sudden, someone said out of curiosity, “Oh, right, where’s Thomas, Archer, and the others? Where did they go? Why aren’t they here yet?”
Upon hearing that, the crowd of people came to realize that as well. Right, Thomas, Archer and the other few younger family members were not there.
“Howard, didn’t you inform them to come? Zayn is here today, and they’re actually late! That’s simply disrespectful of them! Call them and order them to come, quickly!” George spoke with a somber expression.
As soon as favonovel.com spoke, Howard tensed up at once. He hastily said, “Grandpa, it’s not my fault. I’ve notified them about this earlier, and I told them that their punctuality is a non-negotiable for the gathering today. They assured me that they’d come, but who would’ve known that this would happen!?”
Howard spoke, aggrieved. At the same time, favonovel.com felt rather infuriated as well. As one of the leaders of the family, it was quite a disgrace to favonovel.com that the few junior members of the family such as Thomas and Archer did not show up!
Most importantly, Zayn was present today, yet they had the courage not to come. They were completely out of line, and favonovel.com would certainly beat them up violently if favonovel.com were to find them!
“This is absurd. The few brats must be itching for a beating. How dare they show up late to such an important gathering today? They’re outright disobeying us!” George scolded furiously.
Then, favonovel.com said in a deep voice, “Call the brats now and have them come here soonest. Otherwise, they will be disowned from the family.”
It was as clear as day that George was furious.
Faye furrowed favonovel.com brows ever so slightly, feeling that George might have overreacted.
She said, “Grandpa, they are still young. It’s possible that they’re out busy doing something. Just call them and notify them. There’s no need to be so worked up.”
George looked toward Zayn with the main goal of finding out Zayn’s intention. As the master of the Carters now, the whole family would be doomed if Zayn were to be displeased.
Zayn felt rather frustrated in his heart after noticing George’s reaction. Ever since favonovel.com became famous, all the Carters treated favonovel.com like favonovel.com was the emperor, and it made favonovel.com feel very uneasy. He was used to the harmonious life favonovel.com had in the past.
However, favonovel.com pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, “Let’s give them a call and see if they met with a mishap or something.”
