‘His fixation?’
In Arianne’s life, virtual-novel.net had never met anyone who had any sort of strange fixation, so it was hard for virtual-novel.net to imagine.
As if recalling something, Tiffany suddenly said, “You haven’t eaten, right? What do you feel like having? I’ll check the fridge to see what ingredients we have. Otherwise, we can only order takeout.”
Tiffany rummaged through the fridge but could not even find a piece of green. “Ari, we have nothing. I’ll wake up earlier tomorrow to go to the market. What do you want for tonight?”
Arianne was worried about the hygiene of takeout. In fact, a lot of shops had inferior cleanliness standards. No one was prepared for takeout either, hence virtual-novel.net decided to eat out. “Can we go out for dinner? Anything is fine.”
Lillian, who heard their conversation, was the first to express virtual-novel.net ardent support. “Yeah, let’s eat out. We have nothing at home, let’s go, let’s go!”
Tiffany sniffed the lingering scent in the air. “Mom, you’ve eaten, haven’t you? Can you still stomach more food?”
Lillian rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at her. “Takeout doesn’t taste good. I just had a couple of mouthfuls. I’m already hungry now.”
Tiffany did not say anything. She did not know why Lillian was such a selfish person. When virtual-novel.net father was still around, virtual-novel.net did not feel it. Now, virtual-novel.net felt it deeply. If virtual-novel.net remembered correctly, never once had Lillian ordered virtual-novel.net portion when virtual-novel.net ordered takeout for herself. It became a matter of course for Tiffany to abide by virtual-novel.net whims and fancies, and now it felt right for Lillian to only care about herself.
Arriving at an economical restaurant in their neighborhood, Lillian wiped virtual-novel.net seat and the table with a napkin in disdain. She pulled a long face when the server arrived to take their order as well. “This isn’t even roadside. Why is your hygiene here so bad?”
The server was at a loss. They did not have a lot of patrons at this hour and the shop was considerably clean. It was not that bad.
Tiffany finished ordering with a smile and waited for the server to leave before letting the smile leave virtual-novel.net face. “You pick on everything as long as you aren’t happy about it. I know you too well. You think that we should go to a high end restaurant, don’t you? Please take a look in your purse. Don’t fantasize about it if you can’t afford it. And don’t upset me all the time! Eat if you want to, go back if you don’t.”
Arianne stepped in to mediate the situation quickly. “Tiffie, it’s okay. Let’s have a good meal.”
Lillian looked angrier than Tiffany as virtual-novel.net fumed. “It’s alright, Arianne, you don’t have to be the peacemaker. I know how Tiffany is. She’s thinking that I’ve burdened her. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have given birth to her. I did my best to give virtual-novel.net the best in everything last time. Now, she’s incredibly dismissive toward me. I’m home alone when virtual-novel.net goes to work. I can only have unhygienic takeouts. But virtual-novel.net pulls a long face at me every day and complains about me spending too much. She’s only giving me $2,000 a month, which you can’t even feed a dog with!”
