Chapter 216 Good At Acting
In the Gu family's house.
In the living room, an argument was going on. Wayne sat at the top of the sofa, which was also his specific position.
The closest people to him were naturally Dale and Ethan, and Angela and Richard, who chose a place far away from them. Of course, Jade, who was watching the drama, sat far away from them in a playful manner.
"Dad, have you ever thought about my feelings before you make any decision? Have you ever thought that I still have a family of my own? Have you ever thought about Eric and Angela?" Richard looked at Wayne and asked.
"Have you ever thought of her when you bullied her?" Wayne glared at him angrily. "She was so young at that time. She endured the rolled eyes of everyone and gave birth to him with all her efforts. She brought him up. What's wrong with letting him recognize his family? But you, as a father, are unwilling to do anything. Do you still deserve to be a father?"
Richard's face darkened, "Dad, I have never objected to whatever you said since I was a child, but can you consider for me on this matter? I didn't mean to stop Ethan from going back to the Gu family. He is my son and I agree with him. But can you discuss this with me in advance?"
"Since you admit it, what else do you want to discuss?" Wayne stared at him with his eyes wide open.
Discuss what? Richard was almost choked by his words. He took a deep breath, held back his anger and said, "Dad, I still have my family, right? I don't know how it feels to have one more child. But how about Angela and Eric? Could she accept such a fact? Besides, you went too far on the New Year's Eve."
"Why should I go too far to bring them back to celebrate the New Year? Do you want our children to live outside on that day? Wayne questioned.
When Eric returned home and walked out of the hall, he happened to hear these arguments. He rubbed his forehead and couldn't stand it anymore. His grandfather was so stubborn.
Taking a deep breath, he adjusted his state of mind and straightened his back. He walked in with a serious expression on his face. "Grandpa, you have gone too far on this matter."
The sonorous and powerful voice resounded through the whole hall, attracting everyone's attention.
Seeing Eric come in, Wayne frowned, "What did I do wrong? If you were him, would you think that I had gone too far?"
"Don't make such a meaningless assumption." Frowning, Eric walked to the side of Richard and sat down. He looked at Wayne and said, "Grandpa, you should have discussed with us in advance, instead of giving us a surprise. If we had discussed it carefully before, we wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Discuss?" Looking at Eric, Wayne's eyes were burning with anger. "You and your mother ran away from home without saying a word on the New Year's Eve. Did you discuss with us?"
Eric's face darkened, "Grandpa, can you think about it in another position? Your father suddenly had an illegitimate child, and a woman came out and lived at home. If it were you, could you accept this fact?"
"You..." Wayne wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Eric, "No one can accept such a fact, right? Mom and I just did what normal people should do. Besides, we didn't run away from home. We just found a place to have a rest. If we really ran away from home, we won't come back now. "
After saying that, he glanced at Dale and Ethan, "We're back now. I'm afraid some people are unhappy."
His words were so targeted. Although he didn't name anyone, everyone present could tell who he was talking about.
Hearing this, Dale's face changed immediately, but she didn't show it obviously. Ethan next to her pursed his lips and looked at Eric coldly.
"How did you say that?" Looking at Eric, Wayne said, "After all, she is your elder. And he is your younger brother..."
"I didn't admit it." Eric interrupted his grandpa with a sneer and turned to him, "Grandpa, did you call me back today to see you quarreling with each other?"
Hearing this, Wayne brought the topic back to the point, "I've discussed with your uncle, aunt and her before. After fifteen, I'll let him recognize our family and settle down in the Gu family."
Eric narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then whose household register should he keep?"
This was a problem. After the marriage of Richard and Angela, the household register was separated from Wayne's.
"Of course it will fall on your household register. Don't forget that he is your brother." Wayne answered naturally.
Hearing this, Eric sneered, "Since it is going to be registered on our household register, Grandpa, why don't you discuss with my parents when you discuss with uncle and aunt? What do you mean?"
"You..." Wayne was speechless. Apparently, he was stopped by his question. He always knew how smart his grandson was, but he didn't expect that he couldn't compete with him.
Seeing this, Eric continued, "Grandpa, look, you have always listened to uncle and aunt's opinions on this matter. You have never asked my parents, not to mention me, a younger generation. You take it for
granted that we will accept it."
After a pause, he continued, "You said that after fifteen years, you would let Ethan settle down in the Gu family and in our household register. Grandpa, what you should think most is to discuss with us?"
"I asked you to come back today just to discuss this matter, didn't I?" Wayne said with his neck craned, unable to answer his grandson's question.
"Well, since it's a negotiation, I won't say anything. You can discuss it with dad and mom." After saying that, Eric shut up and leaned against the sofa, as if he had nothing to do with it.
Wayne was so angry that he glared at him, but he couldn't say anything. He could only turn to Richard and said, "What do you think of letting Ethan settle down?"
"I don't agree." "Dad, don't you know how I got along with Angela? Now such a thing is happening. Do you want to see me divorce her, or do you want to see me break away from the Gu family?"
"You..." Wayne didn't expect him to say such harsh words.
Obviously, it was a clear threat. If he insisted on doing so, either his wife and children were separated, or he was separated from him. After all, in order to marry Richard, Angela had broken off the relationship with the Sun family.
"Richard, it's your fault." Jade, who had been watching the play, suddenly opened her mouth, with a look of persuasion. "After all, little he is your child. Do you want him to wander outside? And I believe that Angela is also a reasonable person. Besides, she is a mother herself. She won't have the heart to see a child without a father, will she?"
As soon as she finished her words, Eric cast a cold glance at her and said, "Aunt, your hand is too long."
The implication was that it was none of your business.
"Eric, why are you so thoughtless? I'm doing this for your own good." Looking at Eric, Jade said discontentedly.
"Really?" With a slight smile on his thin lips and a cold expression on his face, Eric said, "Aunt, if you have time, you'd better take good care of your own business. You are not qualified to interfere in our family's affairs." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
"You!" Jade was speechless with anger. Eric's words were getting harsher and harsher.
"Uncle, since the Richard doesn't agree, then forget it." Dale, who had been silent all the time, said with an aggrieved look, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given birth to him in the past, or this wouldn't have happened. It's all my fault that I loved Richard too much."
"Who do you think of?" Wayne frowned and said, "You gave birth to him, that bastard of Richard. It's all his fault, and our Gu family is also guilty of you. He must be registered in the Gu family, and we can't delay his bright future."
"Uncle, thank you very much for what you have done for me. But there is really no need to hold on any longer. Since Richard doesn't want to accept him as his son, I won't waste any more time here. I have raised him for so many years just because I want him to see his father and get the missing father's love. But if this will destroy the future happiness of Richard, I choose to give up. I will leave with him, go back to our previous life."
Dale's words were very reasonable, and also showed her selflessness. For the person she loved, she was willing to give up everything she and her son deserved. In everyone's eyes, she was a good woman.
But in some people's eyes, it was just acting!
And this person was no other than Eric, who saw her every move, and even the resentment hidden in her black eyes.
She was really a master of acting, and her means were excellent. She knew how to play the sympathy card and how to put herself in the most advantageous position.
Look, Grandpa was fooled by her, wasn't he? He was sold by her, but he still gave her money.
"Since aunt is so reasonable..." Eric said with a sneer. He took a look at Dale, and then turned to Wayne, "Grandpa, how about we help aunt?"
"What are you talking about?" Wayne glared at him unhappily, and then turned to Dale, "Don't take it to heart. It's up to me."
"Uncle, forget it. I really don't want to thank you, but please don't put me and him in a dilemma. I don't want you to have a fight."
Dale was still considerate. She glanced at Eric from the corner of her eyes and clenched her fists. The pain of bone stabbing spread all over her body.
