Gloria snapped, “You’ll never understand the pain until it’s your turn! I gave birth to all three kids the exhaustion was mine, the pin yan the lasting damage is mine alone, not yours.
“In the end, all three kids have your last name. You hit and yell at them whenever you want, and now you even think the humiliation I went draug giving birth still can’t compare to yours…”
By the end, tears welled up in Gloria’s eyes–how could Arnav just dismiss it all with a casual “it’s not the same“?
Arnav was completely stunned. He hastily stood up, grabbed Gloria’s arm, and explained, “That’s not what I meant. The situation is different.”
“Right, it’s different–as if I could ever measure up to you!” Gloria snapped.
Gloria violently yanked her hand from his grasp, turned, and stormed out of the room.
Arnav didn’t hesitate–he rushed after her. “Gloria…”
“Get out!” Gloria roared.
Arnav turned back hurriedly. “Terry, look after Grandma,” he called out.
Lexie watched as they left one after the other, letting out a long, weary sigh.
After years of constant bickering, the family had grown accustomed to it.
But it was supposed to be Lennox’s celebration banquet tods.
Lennox’s expression darkened. Terry caught a quick glance before looki
Let’s carry on.”
away impassively. “Our parents‘ argument shouldn’t spoil your celebration.
Before Lennox could say a word, Alice grabbed his arm. “Don’t mind their usual bickering–just let them be for now. Lennox, besides Golden Premier Suite, did you reserve any other suites?”
Lennox was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
Alice repeated the manager’s words. Lennox was stunned and stammered, “I–I had no idea. When was I even notified?”
The manager said, “We’ve had that for quite some time now.
“Madam, Sir, Amour Bistro is quite busy today. There’s only one standard private room left–if you don’t reserve it now, it will be taken.”
There was no way a family like the Fletchers would settle for a standard private room.
Gloria and Arnav had already stormed off.
Alice declared decisively, “We won’t reserve today. We’ll do it another time.”
Lennox frowned anxiously. “Mom, but I’ve already invited several friends–they’re on their way here right now.”
If word got out that Lennox had invited guests but had nowhere to host them, it would ruin his reputation and might even reflect poorly on the entire Fletcher family.
Lexie walked over to the manager and said firmly, “Book it now–a standard private room will suffice.
“There’s no need to make such a big fuss before the official admission. We can throw a proper celebration once you get the acceptance letter–it won’t be too late. And don’t make such an amateur mistake again.”

Those words cut Lennox deep.
Lennox clenched his fists, struggling to keep his expression neutral. “As you wish, Grandma, he said through gritted teeth.
Lexie saw it all but remained silent.
Some people just couldn’t let things go. A hundred kindnesses meant nothing–one oversight and it was all forgotten. They only remembered the is
No matter how sincerely you gave your all, it’d only be taken as ill intent.
And Lennox was exactly that kind of person.
Lexie had seen through it all–as long as Lennox didn’t cross the line, she would treat him no differently.
Lennox suddenly remembered something. “Oh, Grandma,” he said, “Fryderyk wants to stay with Aria instead of joining us.”
