Chapter 198
Sophia was left speechless after hearing her mother’s words, and Nora also fell silent.
Laughter filled the living room, and Nora thought that Joseph was taking the outsider’s
side. However, when she turned around, she realized that he was watching a cartoon
on the sofa.
“I didn’t sleep well last night, Mom. I’ll go back and take a nap first.”
Nora stopped her. “Don’t rush; go and say hello to David. It is customary for the younger
generation to inform the elders when they return home.”
Sophia frowned, annoyed. “Do we still have to follow these traditional customs? It’s the
modern era, why do we have to pay respects in the morning?”
Nora glared at her and said, “Listen to me; I am your mother. I won’t harm you. Stop
talking nonsense and go quickly.”
Oh. Sophia slowly walked to the study in high heels, and Nora followed her after a
moment

Sherry withdrew her gaze and placed the lasagna on a plate, placing it on the dining
table. “Joseph, come and eat.”
Joseph was engrossed in watching Ultraman and didn’t want to move. “Bring it over to
me!”
With both David and Nora absent, she was not used to Joseph’s bad habits. “I’ll count to
three. If you don’t come over to eat, I’ll throw all the lasagna in the trash.”
Joseph frowned unhappily. “You’re so strict, that’s probably why you can’t find a
spouse.”
Sherry knocked on the dining table as a silent warning: “Whether I can get married or
not is none of your concern; a child like you shouldn’t worry about it. One, two…”
“Alright, alright, I’ll come over to eat.” Joseph jumped off the sofa and slowly made his way to the dining room. He obediently sat on the chair and ate the lasagna, muttering,
“You only dare to be strict with me.”
Sherry went back to the kitchen to serve the cats. Upon hearing his complaint, she

replied, “I’m not being strict with you; I’m teaching you to appreciate other people’s hard
work. I made the lasagna for you because you’re a child and still growing. Even if I have
conflicts with your mom and sister, I won’t blame you for them. But you need to

helped your dad get into a big company, I’m not the family’s maid. I won’t let you boss
me around.”
Joseph frowned in annoyance. “Alright, I don’t care about the conflicts between you
women. Don’t disturb me while I’m having breakfast.”
Sherry didn’t have the patience to teach him about manners from scratch. Anyway, if
David was willing to indulge him, then let him be. In the end, they would be the ones at
a disadvantage.
But to be honest, she hadn’t forgotten about the sulfuric acid incident last time.
Joseph, how did you know they poured sulfuric acid into the dish soap bottle?”
Joseph slurped a mouthful of oats; his speech slurred as he said, “I woke up hungry in the middle of the night and came out to find something to eat. I saw my sister pouring

something into an iron can. When I woke up in the morning, I noticed that the plastic
dish soap bottle had been replaced with a stainless steel one, so I felt something was
off.”
His face was still injured and wrapped in gauze after applying medicine. Chewing
caused his facial muscles to move, making him grimace in pain. However, Joseph
didn’t complain much. He hissed for breath while eating with great relish.
“Then why did you remind me?” Sherry asked. “You don’t like me very much, so why not
just let things go smoothly?”
Joseph glared at her irritably, imitating her tone as he said, “I reminded you because
you’re not a bad person. When I got lost in the haunted house, my mom and sister both
left, but you were the only one who came to find me. The conflict between you and my
mom and sister is your women’s business, and I don’t want to get involved. But I remember your kindness last time, so consider this a repayment. From now on,

even.”
Sherry was somewhat surprised and raised an eyebrow. “Alright, I’ll give you credit for
having a conscience.”

“I really am hungry, although I have a conscience. Can you stop talking to me and let
me focus on eating?” Joseph said.

Sherry nodded and left the dining table, returning to the kitchen to clean up the mess.
After a while, Nora and Sophia came out of David’s study.
David probably didn’t say much, as the expressions on both of their faces still revealed
joy and satisfaction.
“Sophia, how about having breakfast before going to sleep?”
Sophia didn’t want to eat at first, but since Sherry made it, she felt it was necessary to
eat it.
Halfway up the stairs, she turned back down. “Mom, you’re right. I am a bit hungry.

didn’t make any for you.” Sherry didn’t even turn her head, focusing on cleaning the kitchen. All the ingredients are there, so if you want to eat, make them yourself.”
Chapter 198 No Wonder You Can’t Get Married
Sophia’s face changed. “You only made them for Joseph?”

“What else can you do?” Sherry wiped her clean hands, untied her apron, and hung it
aside, then walked out of the kitchen. “Joseph is the young master of the Wilson family.
Even if I live with the Wilson family and eat for free, it’s not a problem for me to make
breakfast for the Wilson family. What right does someone with a different surname
have to boss me around?”
“You…” Sophia gritted her teeth. Stop talking nonsense. You’re just jealous that I broke
up with Malcolm and now have a connection with the Martin family, aren’t you? You’re
very disappointed, aren’t you?”
Sherry shook her head and chuckled. “Yes, I am disappointed. You really ruined that
dress you’re wearing.”
“Sherry!”
“Hmm?”
“Are you going to argue with me again early in the morning? Should I call Dad out?”
Chapter 198 No Wonder You Can’t Get Mamed
Sherry readily agreed, “Sure, go ahead and call him. Let Mr. Wilson come and tell us if
you have any right to be on equal footing with Joseph in this house!”
As soon as Joseph was mentioned, Sophia was completely at a loss.
David’s excessive favoritism toward Joseph was immeasurable, unconditionally
supporting him in everything, regardless of right or wrong.
She took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her, and said with a forced smile,
“Your pride won’t last long. Mrs. Martin mentioned that she would invite me to visit the
Martin family in a few days. You won’t have a chance.”
“I’m content with my boyfriend. I have no interest in the son of the Martin family.”
“That masked fugitive?”
Sherry replied impatiently, “Isn’t your son from the Martin family also wearing a mask?”
Is it the same? The son of the Martin family is wearing the mask in anticipation of the upcoming ball. However, there was a minor incident that occurred, causing the ball to
“Chapter 158 No Wonder You Can’t Get Mamed
be canceled. He is a talented young man, the rightful heir of the Martin family. It’s
completely different from your fugitive!”
