Chapter 173 New Year’s Dumplings and Drunken Regret

“Then get up, wash up. and come downstairs to eat.”

“Okay”

After Julia and the maid left, Becky went to the bathroom, took a shower, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.

She decided to temporarily ignore the shock caused by Xavier’s message.

Xavier was still holding his phone, waiting, but Becky never replied. He was feeling a little disappointed,

It was the first day of the new year, and everyone in the Shanks family was home.

Becky heard that Logan had originally been scheduled to appear on a special New Year’s show, but canceled it because of her,

She had felt a little guilty. Getting a slot on the Spring Festival Gala was a rare opportunity–especially in the entertainment world she’d been part of. If you made it to that stage, it meant you’d really made it

When she found her fourth brother to apologize, he just casually waved it off. “I didn’t want to do

So Becky didn’t say anything more.

Talking about the Spring Festival Gala reminded Becky of something.

Her idol, Samson, had also performed on the show. She’d originally planned to stay up and watch his segment, but she drank too much and knocked out early.

Missing her idol’s performance left her with some regret.

Luckily, there was a replay. She’d watch it later when she was back in her room.

After coming downstairs, she greeted her parents, brothers, and Oriel before heading off to see James.

James had already had his milk. He was full of energy, stretching his little arms toward her to be picked up.

She smiled and took him into her arms.

James happily blew bubbles.

Becky pulled a tissue to wipe his mouth. “James, can we stop with the drooling? It’s not polite.”

Julia laughed. “He’s still so little. He doesn’t know anything yet. He’ll grow oth of it. All kids go through this phase, Logan used to wet the bed until he was five.”

“Mom” Logan groaned in protest.

Julia said, “Am I wrong? Ugh, I had to throw out so many mattresses because of you. They reeked and were impossible to clean. We didn’t have waterproof pads back then. That time..

Logan cut her off. “Mom! Stop, please! I’m begging you–have some mercy.”

Julia chuckled. “Why are you embarrassed? You’re home. It’s all family here. Don’t worry, your fans won’t hear about it.

Becky was stunned. She never imagined Logan had such a dark childhood secret.

If Sharon found out, who knew if she’d be heartbroken or just refuse to believe it?

Probably the latter Sharon would never believe her idol wet the bed at five. She’d think Hecky was slandering him

Julie saw her youngest son’s face darken and decided to drop it

Everyone else at the table already knew that story. They brushed it off with a laugh.

Chapter 173 New Year’s Dumplings and Drunken Regret

Finished

Logan gave Julia a wounded look. It was all her fault–why did she always have to bring up his most embarrassing memories? It drove him crazy.

The maids called everyone to the dining room.

In Circovia, the tradition on the morning of New Year’s Day was to eat dumplings. At that moment, the long rectangular dining table was covered with steaming plates of freshly cooked dumplings.

Becky loved dumplings. She often made them herself for fun.

The maids had prepared several different fillings. Becky tried three kinds–decent enough.

While everyone was eating. Hanson came in carrying a bag that looked a bit heavy.

Becky called out to her little nephew. “Hanson, come have some dumplings.”

Hanson ran over and sat down next to Aaron.

Everyone was curious about the bag he was holding.

Winston, who was sitting closest, reached for it. Hanson clutched it to his chest protectively and gave Winston a wary look.

“This is mine. No touching!”

Winston said. “Let me see what’s inside.”

“Money!”

Everyone was stunned.

Hanson said. “My brother gave me all his money. I have so much now.”

The adults all turned to look at Aaron in surprise.

Aaron calmly picked up two dumplings and placed them on Hanson’s plate. “Ear.”

Hanson’s eyes lit up at the food. He happily picked up his chopsticks and stuffed a dumpling into his mouth.

After breakfast, Becky went back to her room and grabbed her phone from the nightstand.

She hadn’t brought her phone downstairs earlier.

There were a few unread messages on Whatsapp

Two were from Sharon–plus one transfer.

“Hey yo, Happy New Year! This is New Year money for my godson. You hold on to it for him.”

Becky smiled and accepted the money, replying with a quick message.

After backing out, she tapped into her chat with Xavier.

He’d sent her another message

“Craving your dumplings.”

Becky immediately thought of last New Year’s, when she had gone to Xavier’s place for money and ended up cooking him a whole dumpling feast.

This year he was being even more generous–he’d directly transferred her a hundred million

A hundred million

Hack then, she wouldn’t have even dared to imagine such a thing

But she couldn’t keep that money. She planned to give it back when she got home.

She had no idea how to reply to Xavier, so she didn’t.

Backing out again, she saw a message from Jose. It had been sent last night, but she hadn’t noticed it.

• Finished

She was too drunk last night to check her phone–and this morning, Xavier’s message had freaked her out so much she’d tossed it aside and forgotten.
