Chapter 161

Generous Hospitality ##James had a gentle look on his face as he extended both arms welcomingly. “I hope God blesses you with better things, young man.”

Rudd never dreamed that he could enter the Reid residence’s front doors. After all, the Reids were rich beyond belief-to the point where someone like Rudd was unworthy of even mentioning their name. Now, alongside entering the residence, Rudd even got to experience such generous hospitality.

The excitement caused his chest to tighten, leaving him breathless again. Seeing that, James put down his arms and chuckled. “I suppose my presence might make things slightly awkward, so I’ll be on my way now.”

He then promptly turned on his heel to leave with his walking cane in hand.

Rudd’s jaw stayed agape for the longest time. Never in a million years did he imagine tycoons like the Reid family behaving kindly toward those with less wealth.

Because that scene seemed perfect, he felt disappointed once he realized it was just a daydream. Rudd pouted as he took in the impressive but empty car. Darius quickly understood the reason behind that expression. It was only natural as he and Rudd had lived in the same dormitory for many years. Thus, he chuckled heartily. “This isn’t a stretch Lincoln limousine, so your fantasy will be unlikely to happen anytime soon.”
