Chapter 1496 This Is Cheating
It never crossed Zayden’s mind that Luke would choose the key to the sports car, so he argued, “H-He said he wanted a small item, and I never thought it’d be the key to the sports car.”
“You didn’t know what he wanted, yet you wore his shirt?”
“Mr. Davin, Zayden agreed right away when he heard that I wanted a small item. After I took off my shirt, he hastily put it on before I could even tell him my choice. He even told me to pick anything I want!”
Words instantly eluded Davin, and fury brewed within him.
That sports car is worth far more than ten million. I would suffer a devastating loss if I were to give it to Levant! No, I can’t allow him to have a leg up on me!
“Your son has cut the shirt, so it’s too late for you to back out now, Davin. The shirt is now yours, while the sports car is mine.”
Gazing at Levant, who was staking his claim, Davin forced a bitter smile. After turning things over in his mind, he slowly walked over to Levant. “Uh… I think…”
Without warning, he reached out and snatched the car key from the man’s hand.
Having done so, he beat a hasty retreat.
“This is cheating, Davin!” Levant hollered.
“I didn’t make any bet, so how is this cheating?”
“Your son was the one who made the bet, so you’ve got to take responsibility as his father!”
“No way! I don’t want that wastrel of a son anymore!”
After saying that, he bolted for the garage since safeguarding his car took precedence.
At the sight of his father abandoning him mercilessly, Zayden pouted with desolation written all over his face. “It turns out that my daddy’s sports car is even more important than me! He loves me too little when I’m his only son!”
He plopped down at the side in stark disappointment and wrung his hands as though he was an abandoned child.
“Never mind if your daddy doesn’t want you. I want you! Come back with me to Levant Winery. I’ll feed, clothe, and give you a roof over your head henceforth!”
Zayden shook his head after a moment’s deliberation. Although Daddy doesn’t want me anymore, I can’t go with someone else. But on second thought, I’ve already had all the fun I could have at Imperial Garden after staying here for the past few days. There’s lots of delicious food at Levant Winery, so it’ll be nice to go there and have a feast for a couple of days! I’ll get to replenish and nourish my body!
“Okay! I’ll go with you!”
With that, Zayden followed Levant back to Levant Winery and started his happy days of feasting and drinking.
As he munched on a crab and drank fresh fruit juice, he talked to Joy over the phone, suggesting, “You should come over and stay for a few days, too. You can eat anything you want here, and you can even order anytime. It’s simply too convenient!”
“I’ll go over after I ask Kyle, and if he says that he doesn’t need my help to look for Mommy.”
“I think you can come over here first and have a few meals to nourish your brain. When you’ve grown smarter, you may be able to figure out a way to find your mommy in no time!”
“Okay, I got it! I’ll be there!”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting.”
At the side, a smile tugged at the corners of Levant’s mouth as he watched Zayden wolfing down the food. His little belly is all rounded, so he must be really fond of eating. And he isn’t even satisfied to eat by himself but even persuaded Joy to come over. What a greedy little boy, just like his father, Davin!
At that thought, he took out his phone and snapped a photo before sending it to Davin.
He texted: Your son is having a delicious spread today, so I’ll be waiting for you to foot the bill!
Davin replied: Foot the bill? No way. In your dreams!
Levant: How could you do that?
Davin: I can do that because I want to. I don’t want to pay, so I’m not paying!
Levant: You’re really shameless, Davin!
Davin: Thank you for the compliment! I’ll do even better next time!
At a loss for words, Levant merely sneered.
Hah! He must be so shameless because Sheila pocketed all his money, and he hasn’t much money left. I wouldn’t be getting anything even if I were to hound him. Oh well, never mind, then. I’ll just take care of this little guy for him since it’s within my means. Also, it’ll give me some practice.
