Chapter 21: Provocations of old lovers
“Young master, the master’s health has not been very good, before the master is afraid that you worry, and then always hide something from you.” Uncle Peter answered Fred Garner.
“Dad, you’ll be fine, you’ll be fine, I’m going to call the doctor.” Fred Garner got up, taking the opportunity to hide the hurt in his eyes.
“No – no, Fred, your mother is waiting for me, I’m going to go -” Fred Garner felt the grip on his hand suddenly lose its strength.
“Dad – Dad, can you hear me? Dad–”
Fred Garner shouted as the doctor came to the scene and administered first aid, and ten minutes later, the doctor pronounced Fred Garner’s dad dead.
“Young Master, Dad,, Master has gone to stay with Madam, you let him go.” Uncle Peter cried, pulling Fred Garner along and telling him not to disturb his lordship’s peaceful sleep.
“No–no way, Pa–”
The grief turned into a hiss that came from Fred Garner’s throat.
He rushed home like a madman and angrily went to kick the door of the room, kick after kick, and on the third kick the door kicked open, while curses came from the room.
“Which bastard, don’t you know I’m sleeping? If you make more noise, get out, don’t …… ah …… help ……”
Anna, who was cursing with her eyes closed, didn’t wake up until her hair was grabbed, and a scream ensued.
“Help – ah – someone -” Fred Garner yanked her hair and dragged her out, a terrified Anna, who had no idea who was grabbing her.
“Anna, if you scream one more time, I’ll break your neck right now.” Fred Garner’s voice was full of anger, all he knew was that this woman, Dad’s nominal wife, was out spending all night while he was sick, while he was in the hospital, while he was dying.
“Fred! Are you really Fred? You’re back, are you here to pick me up?” Anna tilted her head and looked at her former lover with a mixture of sadness and joy.
“Shut up, where did you go last night? Do you remember who you are?” Fred Garner suppressed the residual feelings in his heart, this woman, now his elder.
“I,,, Fred, let go of me first okay, it hurts.” Anna held Fred Garner’s wrist in her hand and pleaded with him to let go of her hair.
“Say, where did you go last night?” Fred Garner snarled.
“Class reunion.” Anna looked at Fred Garner eagerly, six months on, and he was finally back.
“Who was at it?” Fred Garner coldly questioned, they are classmates, her classmates, he himself knows clearly, whether there is a lie, a phone call can know.
Under Fred Garner’s repeated questioning, Anna knew she couldn’t lie anymore, so she began to spill, stood up, pointed at Fred Garner and cursed.
“Yes, I was out clubbing, but so what? He’s older than my father, yet I’m marrying him. Have you ever thought about me, why, are you afraid to fight? Why do you have to watch me marry him, Fred Garner, you’re a coward, you’re a coward.”
At this time, Fred Garner does not want to remember, he has not fought, but the woman in front of him, that will make him lose his mind, she had to marry his father.
“The past, I do not want to mention again, but since you married my father, you should do your part as a wife, where were you when he was sick and hospitalized? Anna, do not find all kinds of excuses for yourself, where were you when my father left?” Fred Garner looked at the woman in front of him with pain.
The once gentle woman, the once kind girl, had long since metamorphosed, and he no longer knew her.
“He wouldn’t have cared if I had been there, you’re both the same father and son bastards, Fred Garner, I curse you, curse you not to be well ……”
“You say one more word and I’ll kill you.” Fred Garner wanted to snap Anna’s neck, dad is dead, but this woman, she even want to curse a person who has died.
But looking at her tears of resignation, he couldn’t lay a hand on her. He hated himself for being so weak in front of love and affection.
“You go away, never appear in front of me again, from now on, The Garner family and you no longer have any relationship.” Slowly releasing his hand, Fred Garner made a difficult decision.
This woman who indirectly killed his father, he would not forgive.
“Go, Fred Garner no matter what, I am now your little mother, who are you to kick me out, I am also a member of this family.” Anna only realized something was wrong until then, suppressing the fear in her heart, and Fred Garner stalemated.
“A member of this family, Anna when you say this, have you ever thought about what you have done for The Garner?”
Fred Garner looked at Anna with pain, to this day, she surprisingly did not have a bit of remorse, even if she paid for a nanny, it is not like this.
“Young master, let’s go, the master has arranged the aftermath early in the morning, she can’t take advantage of it.” uncle Peter looked at Anna with contempt, in this home, he was watching everything, especially this woman, since she entered the door, he was watching her, anything that is The Garner family, she doesn’t get to take away everything, as for the money, the master has explained to the lawyer, she also doesn’t get to take any advantage.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“Old Peter, what do you say?” Hey Fred, what happened to your father?” Anna stunned to ask uncle Peter , uncle Peter did not even look at her, and then turned to Fred Garner to follow up.
“Didn’t you want to curse our father and son to die early? Now you have your wish, my father is gone, but I will never let you have your wish.” Fred Garner paid no more attention to Anna and went off with Uncle Peter to do Dad’s after-death.
“Fred, I didn’t know …… I really didn’t know, if I had known your dad wanted …… to have that, I would never have gone out with him, Fred… …”
Anna chased after him, Fred Garner gave her a look and left with Uncle Peter.
“No,, not my fault, not my fault, it is his own, it is his own ……” looking at the departing car, Anna held in some lies, although she is reluctant to marry, but this six months of luxury life, has corrupted her, she has left the wealth, she Do not want to be like other students, to fight for three meals a day, she do not want to work overtime for a dress, a famous brand, do not, she wants to live the life of the rich, no ……
Anna panicked and ran to the hospital, but the remains were already gone.
From the day Fred Garner came home, he restricted the woman, did not let her attend his father’s funeral. After dealing with the funeral, the lawyer came to read the will.
While looking at his father’s will, Fred Garner had more doubts. Dad had left the woman the house and had given her $10 million.
Half a year, for Anna, earned enough, the half-year marriage reward, so that she did not have to worry about anything for the rest of her life, only Anna, who had been used to enjoy, was not satisfied.
“Fred, I want to keep mourning for your father.” In the face of the clearly written will, Anna was not dissatisfied, but simply asked Fred Garner to observe mourning.
“To observe mourning, what is Anna’s purpose, why don’t you just say it? You didn’t take care of my dad for a day while he was alive, and now you’re offering to ‘observe mourning’, do you think you can convince people?” Fred Garner coldly looked at his former girlfriend, half a year, she was like a new person, or rather, this is her true nature, just has been well hidden.
“Fred, it’s because I didn’t do my part as a wife during my lifetime, I feel guilty and want to make up for it, Fred, please give me a chance to make up for it.” Anna knelt in front of Fred father’s effigy and sobbed sadly.
“Young master, the master explained before he passed away, as soon as he passed away, madam must move out of the mansion.” Uncle Peter reminded Fred Garner from the side.
“I know, then please let me keep it until a hundred days.” Anna bowed her head and returned to her old gentle self.
Before his father’s funeral was over, the head of the company came to him, and Fred Garner had to take over his father’s position as president. Although there had been contact before, but the pile of months of documents to deal with, it is not a day or two to deal with the good, but in the good news is that urgent documents are approved early.
Thinking that Anna was at home, Fred Garner ate and lived at the company, and had not been home for a week, even on weekends.
On the weekend, Fred Garner was still buried in the pile of documents, he really took over the company, only to find that the company system has a big problem, and because of this, so much paperwork has accumulated, he decided to first properly rectify the company.
“Knock knock,, Fred, can I come in?” Anna, was at the president’s office of The Garner group, she was standing by the open door, knocking lightly on it.
“Who told you to come to the company?” As soon as he saw the visitor, Fred Garner’s face sank, originally he opened the door for the convenience of the secretary, so as not to keep knocking, annoying people, did not expect this will bring cheap outsiders.
“Fred, you haven’t been home for many days, I’ll bring you some food, since your father left, you’ve lost a lot of weight, Fred, I’m sorry, it’s all because I didn’t take good care of you.”
Anna said, placing the thermos box with the meal on Fred Garner’s desk.
“I told you to get out, do you not understand the words?” Without waiting for Anna to open the meal, Fred Garner slammed his desk and yelled.
“Fred, you weren’t like this before.” Anna bowed her head in resignation, with a pitiful look that made the heart grow fonder.
“Shut up, please remember your identity, I have no relationship with you anymore, please call me President Ling.” Facing the charming ‘little mother’, Fred Garner really wanted to ask security to come over and clear the people.
“Fred, I didn’t really want to marry your father, I… I was forced to.” Anna whimpered.
“That’s enough, I don’t want to hear about the past, please get out.” Fred Garner’s patience has a limit, he has already tried to avoid her by not going home, he did not expect her to shamelessly chase him here again.
“It’s true, your father raped me to stop us from being together, and took pictures, and threatened me that if I didn’t break up with you, I would have to show you those pictures, I was forced to do nothing, Fred, you must believe me, the reason why I chose to marry your father, I just want to see you a few more times, Fred, please believe me. ” Anna whimpered and cried, her words shocked Fred Garner twelve times, how could it be, Dad could not have done that, never.
“I don’t want to hear you make up any more lies, just go away.” Fred Garner calmed down for a few seconds and then said sternly.
Dad is gone, and this woman still wants to resist, no matter what the past is like, he doesn’t want to know anymore, the past is gone, this woman, will always be his father’s woman.
“Fred, your father he never touched me ……”
