"Uncle Forrest," Charlotte nestled in Solomon’s arms and swiped her little finger over her cheek, "when you have no money, Daniel will not be able to eat cookies and drink yogurt, and he will not grow up.”
Solomon guffawed. "Look, even our little Charlotte knows her uncle cannot support Daniel."
There was an I-can't-even look on Forrest’s face. "You have learned how to dig at me since we last met, eh?"
'Besides, my son will still grow up without cookies and yogurt.' He did not say this out loud.
"I don't care if you find a job or not, but you should not ask for a penny from Dad and Mom. Don’t you feel ashamed of yourself for asking money from Dad and Mom when you are already in your thirties?” Summer said with a dead serious expression.
Forrest knew Summer's temperament well. "I am not a s useless as you think. I have already sent out my resume, and will go for an interview tomorrow.”
"What company is that?”
"A new but very large corporation in Santabaca. It gives fantastic benefits and perks. I heard it is an MNC (multinational corporation).”
"Go for the interview first. Remember to be more serious during the interview, do your homework in advance, and hope you will get hired.”
"I, your brother, have vast working experience. I still possess this common sense."
Daisy snappishly gave him a few smacks on the head. "If you had common sense, you would not have been fired."
"Mom, can you not hit me every time? Charlotte is here. Set a good example."
"I didn't know you could feel embarrassed in front of kids. Look at those things you have done. Which one o f them isn't embarrassing?” Daisy just thought he was useless!
