Chapter 619 The Secret Many Years Ago
"Even if there is only tinny hope, we can't give up," Zac said resolutely.
"Do you mean to let the murderer pollute my eyes here?" Mary pointed at Essie angrily and gritted her teeth.
"Mommy, I've invited the best expert from the United States to treat grandma. And I'll find out what happened to grandma in the nursing center. If there is really something wrong in the nursing center, I'll remove it directly," After saying that, Zac left with Essie.
Mary's face turned pale. As soon as they went out, she quickly picked up her phone and went upstairs.
On the second day, Baron came to Rong Mansion. He had heard about the matter of Suzan. He came here to support his daughter.
As soon as they entered the hall, Albert greeted each other politely and sat on the sofa together. Albert opened the cigar box on the tea table and said, "Baron, this is a cigar I just asked someone to buy from Cuba. Have a try."
Baron picked up one and sniffed it. He smiled faintly and said, "It smells good."
Albert handed him the fire and lit the cigar. He took a drag and puffed out a smoke ring. "Albert, how many years have it been since we sat and chatted like this?"
"It's been so long that I can't remember it clearly." Albert waved his hand and said, "We are old. Now the world is in the hands of the younger generations." Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
"Yes, I didn't expect that Cathy would still marry to Zac. They can also be regarded as the magic marriage even they were thousands of miles apart since they were children. " Baron sighed.
Albert nodded, "Essie is obedient, sensible and reasonable. It's our fortune to have such a daughter-in- law."
Baron took a drag on his cigar and looked at him with a slight smile. "Of course. My daughter is so shrewd and capable. It's a blessing for your family to marry my daughter."
"Yes." Albert smiled, "Since the first time Zac brought Essie home, I've been sighing that the God is a naughty man who is good at joking with the world. After so many years, the two kids finally got together. "
"Maybe he wants to make it up to you," Baron said in a low voice, with a mysterious light flashing in his eyes.
Albert's eyes darkened slightly. "We have agreed on a fair competition. Since Luce has chosen you, I will be sincerely convinced. But I didn't expect that you didn't cherish her and let her suffer so much. "
"I have never forgiven myself or expected to be forgiven on the matter of Luce. In the past twenty years, I have been living in self-blame. I'm sorry for Luce. I can't repay what I owe her for the rest of my life, but I hope I can make up for what I owe Cathy. " Baron sighed heavily.
Albert also knew why he came. "Baron, don't worry. It's just an accident. It has nothing to do with Essie. The Rong family and I won't make things difficult for Essie on this matter."
"I'm worried about your wife the most," Baron said straightforwardly.
"Mary is indeed a little excited, but this is only temporary. She will be fine when she calms down," Albert said.
"I hope so." Baron sighed. His eyes twinkled in the sun. "Albert, there is one thing I always want to tell you. In fact, when we pursued Luce together, the loser was me, not you."
A muscle on Albert's face twitched slightly, "What do you want to say?"
"Although it's a long time ago and it's meaningless to tell you, I think it's necessary to tell you. After you went to America, Luce refused me. She finally chose you. But on the day before Christmas, there was a call from America. It was a woman. She said that you had been engaged to her and asked Luce not to bother you anymore. After that, Luce received the latest news from the United States, in which there was a photo of you and Mary intimately. Luce is very sad. I thought you had changed your mind, so I proposed to Luce. "
The corner of Albert's mouth twitched violently, and the cigar between his fingers fell on the carpet. Soon, smoke rose from the carpet. Baron picked up the tea on the tea table and poured it down, extinguishing the fire.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Baron nodded, "When you came back, I realized that you and Mary had nothing to do with each other. It was just she who pursue you wishfully. But Luce has married me. I don't want to talk about it anymore. " He sighed slightly, "If you didn't go to America, you wouldn't have made a mistake and missed Luce."
"If she marries me, I won't let her suffer such an injustice." Albert gritted his teeth. Although it had been so long, he still felt a little regret and hatred.
Baron took a drag on his cigar and his expression was deep behind it. He said the secret with a purpose. If he could find something for Mary to deal with, she wouldn't keep an eye on Suzan. On the other hand, thinking of the old relationship between him and Luce, Albert would definitely protect Cathy more.
"Now that Zac and Cathy are together, it can be regarded as a God's remedy to this big joke. He wants to make up for you and Luce."
Albert remained silent. In fact, over the years, he and Mary had lived a respectful life without passion or love. When he learned that Luce married Baron, he was very sad. Mary had been with him all the time. She was kind and innocent, and he liked her more and more.
But after what happened to Luce, he found that he had mistaken her. She was not an innocent rabbit, and many of her actions disappointed him. The feelings he had accumulated before were no longer sublimated, but slowly disappeared.
"Essie's father is a good man now. Luce is very happy with him. We can rest assured."
"Yes, he is better than me. He is a good father and a good husband." A hint of pain flashed across Baron's face.
Luce was the only woman he loved. He had many women after her, but no one could replace her.
If Luce hadn't been married, he would have divorced with Elizabeth without hesitation to pursue her again and make up for the harm he had done to her, but unfortunately, he would never have the chance.
Albert lowered his head and took a drag on his cigar. If time could go back, if he had known that it was because of this misunderstanding, he would have snatched her from Baron even if they got married.
In the shadow of the stairway, Mary were eavesdropping in a corner. She clenched her fists and her face was twisted with ferocity. She was the one who made the phone call and sent the photos to him. She wanted to separate Albert and Luce, but unfortunately, she made all these for another woman.
At this time, Percy had just finished her work in the Tang desert shop. When she arrived at the shop, she was asked to go out for a walk by Jonson.
The misty moonlight poured down through the tip of the leaves. Percy sat on the stone bench, and the mottled tree shadows swayed on her face, making her more miserable.
"Percy, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Jonson asked.
"I'm a little worried about Eva. The Xu family is too complicated. I'm worried about her dating with Vinton now," Percy said in a low voice. She had been restless since Valery came to the shop to make trouble last time.
"Is that boy not good to Eva?" Jonson asked.
"Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law treat her as an enemy. If she marries Vinton, how will she live in the future?" After saying that, Percy's two teardrops fell down. "Eva has been very sensible since childhood. Since I divorced York, she has been working and making money without telling me. If Jade hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known it. She was afraid that I would worry about her. She always hid her feelings in her stomach when she was wronged. I always hope that she can marry a good man and live a good life. Don't be like me. "
Jonson held her in his arms, wiped the tears on her face and comforted her in a soft voice, "Percy, don't worry. I've made up my mind to let Eva be my daughter. I'll marry her out of the Han family and support her. Then the Xu family won't dare to bully her."
"Your daughter..." Percy raised her tearful eyes, and a ray of moonlight sprinkled into her eyes, flickering faintly in the mist.
She stood up and walked out of the tree shade above her head to a piece of undisguised green grass.
The mist, which was neither smoke nor smoke, floated among the leaves of the grass. As the night wind blew gently, she raised her tiptoe and stirred the mist thoughtfully. After a long time, she turned
her head and said, "Jonson, there is one thing I have always wanted to tell you..."
Her voice was low and soft, but very clear. With the night wind, it floated towards him.
The next evening, Jonson invited Percy and her family to have dinner in the villa. He had an important thing to announce.
He decided to marry Percy.
"That's great. Mom is finally having her own happiness." Jade clapped his hands happily.
Raising her glass, Eva said, "Let's replace wine with tea and wish mom and uncle Han happiness."
After drinking a glass of wine, Jonson looked at Eva and Jade with a smile, "Eva, Jade, I have a suggestion. Since I'm going to marry your mother, I'll be your half-father in the future. How about you call me dad?"
Eva and Jade were stunned. They looked at each other and nodded with a smile, "Father." The two called Jonson dad at the same time, making him laugh heartily.
Jade was very happy. He had never seen his father since he was born. Today he finally had a father, a rich father.
He seemed to stand out in this era in which the background of the parents decided everything. He could depend on his sister and brother-in-law, and also his stepfather. Well, after graduation, it could save him work less for twenty years.
