Chapter 160: This Bastard
I shook my head with a sigh, “That was naughty!”
“It’s the nature of children, don’t tie them down!” Blake’s tone was quite gentle.
I have a question that rages in my mind, but I can’t ask it.
Just when I wanted to propose an afternoon tea together, he was called away by phone again. As he was leaving, I read reluctance in his eyes.
Finally he said to me in a warm voice, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow to go see Jacob.”
Watching him just like this instantly disappeared in the alley, I am a little bit of a trance, and even doubt, just now everything is real, that feeling is really as if through the general.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
In the afternoon, my mom instructed Hilda to go to the market and buy some fresh vegetables and fruits and bring them back, and I understood that my mom intended to detach Hilda.
I did not move to look at Edith, she instantly understood what I meant, slightly nodded with a smiling face is said, “just when Charles is sleeping, I also go with Hilda, familiarize yourself!”
“OK, Edith knows how I like it, so come along, no need to rush while Mom and I watch the kids!” I implied that Edith didn’t have to rush back.
When they went out, my mom took me by the hand and headed out the door.
I was a bit puzzled and asked in disbelief, “Where to?”
She didn’t say anything, and when she was out of the old house, she said, “Your father’s study is long gone from the house! The important stuff isn’t in the house either, it’s all in the other study!”
I looked at my mom with relief and asked, “Did you guys notice that Hilda wasn’t right, too?”
“After she came here, your father took precautions and from the time she came to the house, your father was not at home for business! Changed to the hall in the other yard for his studio, and every day he goes out under the pretext of saying he’s going to Sheel Pharma, which is really where he goes! When he’s at home it’s all about living and living and not talking about anything else!”
“How did Dad know she was unreliable?”
My mom glanced at me and tugged my hand tighter, displeasure plastered on her face, “It’s not that she’s unreliable, it’s that she’s suspicious of Robert.”
“At that time your phone calls became less and less, we thought you were too busy to care to call us! But then we realized that your state was not quite right, why you were always depressed, so I pressed again and again, and Robert lied to us.” My mom’s hands went cold with anger as she said this.
“Then the calls came in less and less and finally he admitted that you were sick, and when we found out you were sick, we decided to go to Newport to see you, but when we were about to depart on our side, he said you were out of the country.”
I never interjected and just listened to my mom tell it, which is exactly what I wanted to know.
“So your father and I went straight to Newport, and it was a bust, no one was home, and I couldn’t get in. And when I contacted Robert, I couldn’t reach him at all, his cell phone was turned off!”
“There’s such a thing?” I mumbled the question, my anger building up inside of me. I told my mom the truth for the first time, “Actually, I was at home! Didn’t go anywhere at all!”
My mom stomped her foot when she heard me say that, “I guessed that was it, the bastard!”
“And then what happened?” I pressed.
“After that, your dad and I had to stay in a hotel for the night. We were going to go to his house to find out what was going on, but we couldn’t get a hold of Robert, and we’d never been to his house, so we had to go to Medikit Inc, which was hosted by Edward.
He said Robert accompanied you overseas and when we asked what was wrong with you, Edward only said you were a bit drowsy and possibly mildly depressed. So Robert took you out for a walk, said he wouldn’t stay too long, put us at ease, and then accompanied us for a meal. Your dad and I had no choice but to come back first! And then some time later, I got a call from you.”
My mom sighed, then pointed to the mansion in front of her, “This is it, do you remember?”
I then realized that we were in front of a compound, “Mom! Did we buy this place too?”
“Of course!” My mom said proudly, “This place cost our family a lot of money. He kept refusing to sell it at first, and then he wouldn’t have offered it if something hadn’t happened to his grandson!”
