Sam and John exchanged glances of silent understanding, which made the others all confused.
"Grandpa, Uncle John, what are you talking about?" James asked.
"What licenses does Uncle John want from Grandpa?" Dora Shi seconded, raising her head.
She was a chubby eighteen-year-old girl. Besides Jessica, she was the only girl in the entire Shi family. She was the little princess and the apple of the family's eye.
She was cute, but she annoyed James the most. She always asked him to take her out to have fun. Once, when James could not bear her begging anymore, he took her to a bar. When they came back, he was made to kneel down and punished. He was scolded like he had never been before.
No matter how many times Dora Shi tried to explain that it was her own idea, the whole family did not believe her. They even accused James of teaching her to lie.
From then on, he never took the little princess anywhere again. No matter what happened to her, he always got all the blame.
"I don't know, dear. Why don't you ask your uncl
p it." Nelson's wife stopped him while Sam's facial expression hardened.
Sam was so angry that he glared at Nelson and hissed, "You..."
"Nelson, send Chester to North Yard in a few days." John was raised by Sam himself. He knew the consequences of making Sam angry. Halting Sam's furious words, he spoke and gave Nelson a comforting look.
Although John did not spend much time with his two brothers, he still cared deeply for them.
"Dad, I want to learn from Uncle John," Chester Shi said.
"Well... okay." Nelson smiled and rubbed his son's head once again.
Sam slowly simmered down but was still upset. Out of the blue, he rose from his seat and left.
As soon as Sam left the room, the tension in the air dissipated. James could finally breathe freely. His grandfather scared the hell out of him.
"What are you doing, Uncle John? Uncle Nelson should take care of Chester. Why do you want Chester to go to your house? You can't do this. You already have me." James stood up angrily and stomped away like a jealous child.
