Reluctantly, Ed’s mother agreed without another word.

“Alright, we’re done here. I have urgent things to do, so I’ll be heading off.” Dennis waved as he wasabout to leave.

At this moment, someone from the side called out, “Dennis, don’t leave yet. I bumped into Mr. Garrisonthis morning and he said he’ll be visiting.”

Upon hearing this, the young man beamed. “Mr. Garrison is coming? I must have a chat with him! Go getme a chair. I’ll wait for him here.”

At once, Ed brought a chair over for his cousin. Slouching, he sat with his legs parted. Meanwhile, Ed’sfather served him a cup of tea while Ed’s mother brought him a pack of cigarettes.

Glancing at the pack of cigarettes as he took them, the young man scowled. “Aunt, don’t take this thewrong way, but a wedding is such a big event. How could you be so stingy? These are cheap cigarettesand you could at least get Davidoff!”

Instantly, Ed’s mother was puzzled. “What’s Davidoff?”

Glaring at her, the young man snapped, “The Swiss cigarettes!”

Shocked, Ed’s mother stuttered, “T-Those are really expensive! Dennis, you know our situation well. Wecan’t possibly afford that brand of cigarettes.”

At that point, the young man had grown impatient and he waved his hand. “Alright, stop whining. I’m justsaying that you have to see the bigger picture in life. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so you can’t bepenny-pinching like this. Don’t you feel embarrassed? Do you expect Mr. Garrison to take these cheapcigarettes? The lot of you are so small-minded. No wonder you’re all good-for-nothing losers who won’tachieve anything in life!”

Ed’s parents were embarrassed by the criticism but they just stood by with a smile as they did not wantto offend him.

Upon witnessing these events, Matthew furrowed his eyebrows. In fact, he knew Dennis. He was Ed’syounger cousin brother as their mothers were sisters. During their earlier years, Dennis’s family were notwell-to-do. As such, they had lots of financial help from Ed’s family. Dennis would always loiter outsideschool and often asked Ed for money. Without hesitation, Ed would always lend him money, and hetreated Dennis as his own brother. Who would have known that Dennis would turn out this way after afew years of not seeing each other? Bossing Ed’s parents around, he had no respect for them at all. Itwas all very infuriating to watch.

At this moment, Matthew caught Ed’s attention, and the latter was instantly delighted. “Matt, you’re here!Come in!” Ed greeted warmly.

“Oh my, it’s Matthew!” Ed’s parents were over the moon to see Matthew too.

“Long time no see.”

“You’re all grown up!”

“Come in, come in.”

With a smile, Matthew greeted Ed’s parents. “Hello, Mr. & Mrs. Martinez. It’s been a long time. Myapologies for not visiting you sooner because I didn’t know you had moved here.”

As they greeted each other, Dennis came over and looked him up and down.

“Turns out it’s you, Matthew. I was wondering who you were back in the alley, riding a rusty electric bikeand blocking the way. So, Matthew, what kind of work do you do? You’re not young anymore, and you

still can’t afford a car?” Playing with the car key in his hand, Dennis taunted with a smug expression onhis face.

At once, Matthew frowned as he recalled how Dennis used to follow them around like a lost puppy. Now,he was deliberately showing off in front of him.

“Nothing significant. I just work at the hospital.” Casually, Matthew answered his question.

Upon hearing this, Dennis froze while Ed’s parents were overjoyed. “Oh, my. You work at the hospital?What a promising young man. This kid is a doctor now. It’s fantastic.”

Ed’s parents were kind-hearted, and Matthew could tell that they were genuinely happy for him. On theother hand, Dennis looked disgruntled. Ever since he achieved some accomplishments, he had alwayslooked down on Ed and his family. As such, the fact that Matthew was a doctor drove Dennis up the wall.
