Chapter 217: Wine Restaurant
Peter Brown hoped to lead a normal life. So, even though the school principal offered to arrange a separate dormitory for him, Peter declined. He felt there was nothing wrong in living with others.
After purchasing his bedding, Peter returned to his dorm.
Upon his arrival, he noticed several parents still hanging around, chatting with each other.
Peter quickly settled his bedding.
"Being from a rural area does have its advantages, just look at your classmates. Their parents can’t afford to see them off, but you’ve managed to get everything arranged so nicely by yourself," commented the mother of William Lee as she looked at her son.
Peter did not respond. He could hear an underlying tone of disdain for rural folk in her words. He had no words for such people with a sense of superiority.
"Enough. You should leave now. There’s nothing else for you to do here," John Anderson impatiently responded to his own mother.
"Here’s a suggestion, we’re all meeting for the first time today. My family would like to invite everyone out to dinner, so we can get to know each other. What do you think?" inquired the father of Neke Armstrong, who exuded an air of wealth, with a smile on his face.
"We appreciate the thought, but we rarely come here, and we plan on leaving tomorrow. We have plans to visit some friends with our kids tomorrow, so perhaps next time." responded the apologetic father of William Lee.
"No worries at all, that’s my oversight. Let’s plan for a meet-up some other time, as we’re all tied up with our individual commitments."
While the adults were engaged in their conversation, Peter received a call from Aunt Collins.
