He was exasperated. He called Chester and Shaun out for drinks at a club.
They arrived late at 7:00 p.m.
"You guys are too much. I called you guys at 5:00 p.m., yet you only arrived now.” Rodney was upset and threw a tantrum. There was no sign of his high spirits from the baby's one-month celebration during the day.
"I only came out after having a meal with Cathy and the kids," Shaun said indifferently. He was puzzled. Was taking care of the children and accompanying his wife at home bad? Why did he have to be with two guys here? It was utterly boring.
Rodney was depressed. “Are your wife and children more important than your brother?"
"What else?" Shaun raised his eyebrows as if Rodney had asked a stupid question.
Rodney’s wounded heart was scattered with salt. He turned around to look at Chester. "What about you? I remember you don't have a wife or children."
"I was delayed because of a patient." Chester sat on a tall chair and poured a glass of red wine. "You have a wife and a child, but why aren’t you with them at home?"
Speaking of that, Rodney felt remorseful. "They went home to their maternal family."
Maternal family? Melbourne?
Chester and Shaun looked at Rodney simultaneously." What did you do again?”
What did they mean by "again"? Was he such a terrible person?
Fine! Rodney admitted that he was a little stupid...
Rodney explained to them what had happened.
