So Leonardo had the superiority and naturally he was going to show it.
In addition to the old friends that Leonardo deliberately invited to show off, this time several influential families for generations who had good relations with the Moore family also came. Among them, one was the Espinar family, of which two people came, who were the Espinar family’s Grandfather and Ruben.
Alice met Ruben when Kennedy was going to change Pepita’s diapers.
When the two people met, they did not know what to do.
It was that Alice had known what kind of madness the younger sister was who looked like a sick person with psychosis. But Ruben was reasonable.
Alice didn’t like Ruben very much, so she only smiled slightly at him. However, Ruben, who seemed not to care about what had happened, was soon walking towards Alice with a wine and stopped in front of her.
-Mrs. Moore.
Alice froze slightly and nodded at him, said-Mr. Espinar.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
It was a tough and awkward conversation. When Alice proposed to look for a cause to leave, Ruben suddenly said, “Before what my younger sister did was absurd, today I will apologize to you here on behalf of her.
Ruben’s attitude was sincere and serious, which made Alice feel ashamed. Ruben was sincere, if Alice did not forgive him, it seemed that she was too mean.
Besides, those things had gone too far.
Thinking that, Alice said, -Actually the thing had no relation to you, you didn’t need to apologize for it.
Ruben gave Alice a deep look and shook his head.
-She’s my younger sister, I have the responsibility when she had done the thing, that’s why I’m sorry. I hope you forgive her considering she was young and ignorant.
Young and ignorant?
He scratched a touch of distrust in Alice’s eyes, immediately she smiled slightly and said,-If I remember correctly, your younger sister was the similar age with me, maybe a year or two, I am not her elder, I can’t forgive her for the younger age and ignorance.-.
Hearing that, Ruben frowned slightly.
So he did not forgive his sister?
Soon Ruben realized that he had said wrong, because he felt Alice change her attitude.
-I’m sorry, I said wrong. But Zoe didn’t want to do it too, she had a mental problem. She couldn’t leave the house every day, and she needed to be taken care of by a doctor every day.
Alice frowned more hearing that, she was more angry.
Alice’s look at Ruben included a bit of sarcasm.
Ruben could not continue speaking at that look from Alice and said with an embarrassed face, -Mrs. Moore, and that?
-Mr. Espinar, do you think I have to forgive you because you have a mental problem,” she smiled slightly and continued, “I didn’t remember any of that, it was just that Zoe was an unknown person to me. But Mr. Moore’s words were too much of a moral abduction. It doesn’t matter if he is young and ignorant or has a mental problem, they are his family’s responsibility and have nothing to do with me. I was the victim in this matter, not only me, Kennedy was too. Do I have to forgive him just because he was young and ignorant?
Ruben was trying to be nice, he didn’t expect her to be angry. He said with a frown,
-Mrs. Moore, I have no other intention, it’s just that…
-I don’t care about your intention, today you are coming to attend the banquet, let him be a guest, but I don’t have time to receive you, do what you want.- Finishing the words, Alice turned and walked out.
Anthony next door saw the scene and was stunned, and couldn’t help but give a thumbs up towards Alice’s back, then walked towards Ruben.
-Hey, Reuben, you have no sense of shame for your younger sister. Isn’t it enough to attend the banquet? You even beg Alice for forgiveness. I mean, what Zoe was doing made me belittle too.
Seeing Anthony here, Ruben changed his attitude and said in a cold tone,
-Did it have anything to do with you? I meant it had nothing to do with you, and you come out here and keep your nose out of other people’s business.
-Man, how does it have nothing to do with me? Kennedy was my good brother, Alice was my sister-in-law, that matters a lot to me. Reuben, your sister is a bad-tempered person, how does your family get something like that wrong?
-Anthony, I’m not going to argue with you considering the former relationship of our families, but I expect you to speak respectfully.
-Hahaha, I don’t speak with respect, what can you do with me? And I don’t think I speak disrespectfully. Your sister has a really bad temper, you should feel ashamed as her brother, how do you have the face to ask for forgiveness?
Ruben did not know what to say.
It was true that he came to apologize to Alice and he couldn’t help saying something about his sister, he hoped she would forgive Zoe for that.
Even his sister did too much wrong, but she was still his own little sister, he just didn’t think he caused dislike by mentioning that.
Although Reuben was a person who knew limit, but he wanted to protect his sister too much too much, that he had no problem for his family, and even people in the family boasted to him that he was a good brother.
But for Alice, it was not like that.
Alice was going to see how the diaper change for Pepita was for Kennedy, but just saw the couple, who were Zain and Naomi.
The two people were to come to the banquet for Pepita.
At this moment Naomi was eating cakes, and Zain, next to her, looked at her without remedy and rubbed his head, saying, “Cakes are sweets, if I remember correctly, have you eaten a lot of sweets lately?
Hearing that, Naomi winked and said, “It seems not much.
-Zain said, “Stop it, you can’t eat anymore.
Eating a lot of sweets not only made her put on weight, but also had no benefit for the body, it was better to eat less sweets.
However, the girl didn’t want to leave the cake holding it, so Zain took it directly.
In an instant, the girl raised her head and looked at him with pity.
-It’s the feast for Pepita. Let me eat some pies and I promise I won’t eat them after today,” Naomi said.
