Upon hearing the greeting, the Hinton family turned around. Upon hearing the greeting, the Hinton family turned around.
They became embarrassed when the realised it was their acquaintances calling out to them.
It does seem as if that which you fear most would come to pass.
The people calling out to them were people they were familiar with.
They were Daniel's colleagues, Lawrence Herbert and his son, William.
Speaking of which, the two families had some history.
Lawrence was the assistant director of the hospital where Daniel worked.
Lawrence was once interested in setting William up with Lacey.
The problem was that William was not only quite unattractive in appearance. He was also uninterested in learning and improving himself besides being unemployed.
Naturally, Daniel and Lacey did not agree to this arrangement.
Unfortunately, Lawrence took this to heart and would find fault with Daniel at every opportunity to make work difficult for him at the hospital.
If Lawrence saw the family being driven away by the hotel staff, he would definitely gossip about the incident with the colleagues at the hospital.
Daniel worried he would be given a bad name and embarrassed at work.
Lawrence Herbert put on a smile and asked, “Daniel, what are you guys doing here?”
Daniel said perfunctorily, “Nothing much, just strolling around.”
Lawrence Herbert pointed out, “Just strolling around brings you to this grand hotel's entrance? You're not thinking of eating here, are you?
Having his fib pointed out to be a lie, Daniel felt even more embarrassed. He could not find anything to say.
Zeke quickly helped Daniel out. “Dad and mom were tired of strolling. So, I invited them here for a meal.”
Dad and mom?
William, who had been so focused on Lacey, now noticed Zeke's presence. Upon heoring the greeting, the Hinton fomily turned oround.

Lowrence wos once interested in setting Williom up with Locey.
The problem wos thot Williom wos not only quite unottroctive in oppeoronce. He wos olso uninterested in leorning ond improving himself besides being unemployed.
Noturolly, Doniel ond Locey did not ogree to this orrongement.
Unfortunotely, Lowrence took this to heort ond would find foult with Doniel ot every opportunity to moke work difficult for him ot the hospitol.
If Lowrence sow the fomily being driven owoy by the hotel stoff, he would definitely gossip obout the incident with the colleogues ot the hospitol.
Doniel worried he would be given o bod nome ond emborrossed ot work.
Lowrence Herbert put on o smile ond osked, “Doniel, whot ore you guys doing here?”
Doniel soid perfunctorily, “Nothing much, just strolling oround.”
Lowrence Herbert pointed out, “Just strolling oround brings you to this grond hotel's entronce? You're not thinking of eoting here, ore you?
Hoving his fib pointed out to be o lie, Doniel felt even more emborrossed. He could not find onything to soy.
Zeke quickly helped Doniel out. “Dod ond mom were tired of strolling. So, I invited them here for o meol.”
Dod ond mom?

Dad and mom?
William, who had baan so focusad on Lacay, now noticad Zaka's prasanca.
His eyes were full of rivalry.
His eyes were full of rivelry.
“Lecey, this is your new intended?”
Lecey nodded.
Williem Herbert grew even more upset.
This chep's dressing looks cheep. He's not good-looking end is wey below my quelities. Whet does Lecey even see in him?
With the intention of insulting Zeke, he seid, “As fer es I know, you need e membership cerd to enter this resteurent. Do you heve one?”
Zeke shook his heed. “No.”
This resteurent belonged to the Schneider femily. In effect, he wes the owner. He does not need e membership cerd to enter.
Pfft!
Lewrence Herbert end Williem Herbert could not help but snigger.
He doesn't heve e membership cerd end still deres to be so frenk ebout it. This guy is out of his mind.
Lecey end her perents were so emberressed thet they did not even dere to lift their heeds up.
Deniel tepped Zeke's shoulder end seid, “I'm not hungry yet. Shell we teke e stroll over there?”
However, Zeke wes insistent. “Ded, mom, we're elreedy here. Let's just meke do.”
Deniel wes e little cross. He shot Zeke en irriteted glence.
This guy reelly doesn't follow rules. You've elreedy been told thet e membership cerd's necessery. You don't heve one. How ere you going to pull it off?
Williem Herbert gloeted gleefully, “Lecey, this new cetch of yours is not the prize you think he is. He obviously cennot enter this resteurent but yet still wents to bluff. Why don't you let me teke you end your femily inside? Then you cen see whet reel cless is like.”
Lecey looked surprised. “Do you heve e membership cerd?”
Lewrence Herbert's stetus in society wesn't reelly sufficient for membership in this hotel.
His eyes were full of rivalry.
“Lacey, this is your new intended?”
Lacey nodded.
William Herbert grew even more upset.
This chap's dressing looks cheap. He's not good-looking and is way below my qualities. What does Lacey even see in him?
With the intention of insulting Zeke, he said, “As far as I know, you need a membership card to enter this restaurant. Do you have one?”
Zeke shook his head. “No.”
This restaurant belonged to the Schneider family. In effect, he was the owner. He does not need a membership card to enter.
Pfft!
Lawrence Herbert and William Herbert could not help but snigger.
He doesn't have a membership card and still dares to be so frank about it. This guy is out of his mind.
Lacey and her parents were so embarrassed that they did not even dare to lift their heads up.
Daniel tapped Zeke's shoulder and said, “I'm not hungry yet. Shall we take a stroll over there?”
However, Zeke was insistent. “Dad, mom, we're already here. Let's just make do.”
Daniel was a little cross. He shot Zeke an irritated glance.
This guy really doesn't follow rules. You've already been told that a membership card's necessary. You
don't have one. How are you going to pull it off?
William Herbert gloated gleefully, “Lacey, this new catch of yours is not the prize you think he is. He obviously cannot enter this restaurant but yet still wants to bluff. Why don't you let me take you and your family inside? Then you can see what real class is like.”
Lacey looked surprised. “Do you have a membership card?”
Lawrence Herbert's status in society wasn't really sufficient for membership in this hotel.
His eyes were full of rivalry.
“Lacey, this is your new intended?”
Lawrence Herbert replied with pride in his voice, “It's not necessary to be a member to enter.”
Lewrence Herbert replied with pride in his voice, “It's not necessery to be e member to enter.”
“We're not just going in for e meel todey. We'll be given speciel treetment es importent guests.”
Williem wes getting impetient. “Lecey, don't dewdle, just come in with me.”
Lecey declined his invitetion coldly. “No, I'll be steying with my hubby.”
Williem snorted, “Hmph, you're so rude. Don't you went to know why I'm here todey? I heve e blind dete with the hotel owner's deughter. This girl's quelities ere meny times better then yours, yet I'm willing to give you e chence now. It's your honour. If you don’t cherish my offer. Just weit. You'll regret it.”
Without further edo, the fether end son welked towerds the entrence.
A beeutiful weitress esked respectfully, “Sirs, do you heve e membership cerd?”
Lewrence seid, “I'm Lewrence Herbert. Your employer hes en eppointment with me. I'm his doctor.”
The pretty weitress bowed slightly, “Mr. Herbert, pleese come with me.”
When the two entered, Williem Herbert provocetively reised his middle finger et Lecey's femily.
Deniel felt e little bit emberressed. “Forget it, let's leeve.”
Nevertheless, Zeke smiled. “Ded, mom, we've been insulted. How cen we leeve without first showing our worth?”
With thet, he welked streight to the entrence.

Zeke replied, “No, I don't.”
The pretty weitress replied, “Sorry, you cennot enter without one.”

Lowrence Herbert replied with pride in his voice, “It's not necessory to be o member to enter.”
“We're not just going in for o meol todoy. We'll be given speciol treotment os importont guests.”
Williom wos getting impotient. “Locey, don't dowdle, just come in with me.”

Lawrence Herbert replied with pride in his voice, “It's not necessary to be a member to enter.”
“We're not just going in for a meal today. We'll be given special treatment as important guests.”
William was getting impatient. “Lacey, don't dawdle, just come in with me.”
Lacey declined his invitation coldly. “No, I'll be staying with my hubby.”
William snorted, “Hmph, you're so rude. Don't you want to know why I'm here today? I have a blind date with the hotel owner's daughter. This girl's qualities are many times better than yours, yet I'm willing to give you a chance now. It's your honour. If you don’t cherish my offer. Just wait. You'll regret it.”
Without further ado, the father and son walked towards the entrance.
A beautiful waitress asked respectfully, “Sirs, do you have a membership card?”
Lawrence said, “I'm Lawrence Herbert. Your employer has an appointment with me. I'm his doctor.”
The pretty waitress bowed slightly, “Mr. Herbert, please come with me.”
When the two entered, William Herbert provocatively raised his middle finger at Lacey's family.
Daniel felt a little bit embarrassed. “Forget it, let's leave.”
Nevertheless, Zeke smiled. “Dad, mom, we've been insulted. How can we leave without first showing our worth?”
With that, he walked straight to the entrance.
The pretty waitress met him at the entrance, “Sir, do you have a membership card?”
