Chapter 181 I Will
When Waylon went back, he went into the study and sat on a chair. He smoked the cigarettes one after another. His face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were cloudy. He looked like a demon.
Quincy knew that she could not escape. She had to let Waylon vent his anger.
Waylon had two marriages before the one with her.
In his first marriage, he married a woman who had a similar family background as his. She was gentle and mild. She was the mother of Waylon’s eldest son and second son. In his second marriage, he also married a woman who had a similar family background as his but her temper was as bad as his. According to the elders of the Ziegler family, they often fought with each other after getting married.
Quincy used to be a rookie artist. After knowing him, she had become his mistress. At that time, Waylon and his second wife had not divorced yet, but they had no feelings for each other at all.
After their divorce, Quincy tried every means to get pregnant.
The first child she conceived was not Margaret.
After getting pregnant, she coaxed Waylon to marry her,
The first time Waylon hit her was when she was nearly three months pregnant. At that time, she accompanied Waylon to go out for a social engagement. She said something wrong, making him embarrassed in front of the outsiders. The project that was being discussed was messed up too.
When they got home, he attacked her.
The baby did not survive. It took her more than a year to conceive Margaret.
Quincy stood at the door of the study for a while before entering. Smiling, she walked to Waylon gracefully and called, “Honey.”
With a lighted cigarette in his hand, Waylon narrowed his eyes at her. There were no emotions in his stare.
“Where’s Margaret?” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Quincy swallowed the lump down her throat a few times. “Marge knows that she is wrong now. She’s also very sad. Please don’t be angry, okay?”
Her voice was getting softer and softer.
In the past, Waylon used to like that method. She knew how to please him to make him happy.
Nevertheless, at the moment, Quincy was not sure at all if it was going to work.
While thinking, Quincy stretched out her hand to wrap around Waylon’s neck. Just as she was about to sit down on his lap, she suddenly screamed in pain, and her whole face twisted.
Waylon grabbed her hair. He pulled her head back and pressed the cigarette on her arm.
Quincy’s tears rolled down instantly. “Honey, I was wrong. Can you spare me?” she begged pitifully.
Waylon kicked her to the ground and stepped on her face. “Bitch, what a good daughter you have! After so many years of living, all my pride and dignity have been disgraced by you!”
Waylon flew into a rage. He could not hold himself back.
After venting. Waylon looked at Quincy who was lying in pain on the ground. His chest was still heaving up and down. He straightened his clothes and walked out of the study. When he went downstairs, he asked the housekeeper to tidy up the study.
As soon as the housekeeper entered the study, she saw Quincy.
Quincy’s face was covered with blood, her facial features were distorted, and her clothes were messy. If it were not for her convulsions from time to time, the housekeeper would have thought she was dead.
“Mrs. Ziegler, are you okay?”
The housekeeper helped Quincy up.
When Quincy heard her voice, she opened her eyes and looked at her coldly. She warned her weakly, “If you dare to spread what happened today, I’ll cut your tongue.”
In the evening. Christopher and Yuliana had dinner at the Solace residence.
After dinner, Winnie asked Yuliana to spend some time with her in the parlor.
That parlor was the first place she came to when she went to the Solace residence for the first time. It was also where she met Winnie.
Winnie took a sip of coffee and said faintly, “Are you very dissatisfied with me?”
Yuliana replied, “Not really.” She paused and looked at Winnie. “If I say I’m not disgruntled with you, you won’t believe it. But if I look at it from a different perspective, I can actually understand you. I can be considered a mother too. In the past few months, I’ve learned how hard it is to have a child, not to mention having to spend more than 20 years raising him.”
“Only those who have experienced the hardships can understand it.” Winnie’s expression softened a little. “I’m glad you understand. I did have some thoughts about you because of your past. I didn’t want Christopher to be with you. I was afraid that he would regret it and be criticized by the people in the circle. Christopher is the child who I feel sorry for the most. I don’t ask much of him. I just hope that he can lead a safe and smooth-sailing life, but he insisted on choosing you.” Winnie glanced at Yuliana for
a moment. She removed the bracelet from her hand and put it on Yuliana’s hand. “I’ve been wearing this bracelet for decades. It was a gift Zachary gave me for our tenth wedding anniversary.
Yuliana did not expect such a bracelet to be so precious. When Yuliana was about to take it off and return it to Winnie, Winnie pressed her hand gently.
She said with a smile, “I’ve given it to you. It’s yours now. I hope you won’t let me down and will take care of it as I did.”
Yuliana was stunned. She understood what Winnie meant instantly.
Winnie said, “Christopher is a little different from Kendrick and Layla. After he was born, I seldom took care of him due to physical reasons. Most of the time, he was taken care of by the housekeeper. Perhaps because of that, he isn’t good at expressing his inner feelings. Many things are kept hidden in the depths of his heart. You haven’t been with him for a long time, and there may be many things awaiting you in the future. I just hope you can give him more patience. You can regard this as my selfish motive as a mother.”
Yuliana nodded. “I will.”
At night, after sending Christopher and Yuliana away, Joyce stood in the yard for a while before going upstairs to see Alexzander.
Alexzander had fallen asleep. He was lying obediently on the bed.
That part of him was very similar to Kendrick.
Except for occasional naughtiness, they did not need to worry about him most of the time. Alexzander had learned to take care of himself since he went to kindergarten.
However, Winnie loved her grandson too much. She always wanted to keep him protected and well- taken care of.
Joyce sat on the edge of the bed for a while. Then she went back to her room.
The light in the bathroom was on, and the sound of water came through.
Joyce glanced at it. She went to the dressing room to take her clothes and headed to the shower area.
When she came out, Kendrick had already done washing and left the bathroom.
Standing in front of the mirror, Joyce blew her hair with a hair dryer. Then she brushed her teeth and washed her face. When she was applying the skin care products, the bathroom door opened, and Kendrick walked in
a robe.
She spared a glance at him and withdrew her gaze. “You don’t have anything else to do tonight?”
As Kendrick’s wife for so many years, Joyce was aware that Kendrick seldom returned to the room so early to rest. Most of the time, he would be busy until one or two o’clock in the morning.
Kendrick hummed in response. He then turned on the faucet and washed his hands.
