Henrick smiled. "Marlon, I'm sorry. I've wronged you all, especially your mother. However, I've come this time to ask your mother to forgive me. I've also come to ask for forgiveness from you and Juliet."
"Well, what's there to forgive? You haven't appeared in our lives for six years, and you didn't come and see us when you suddenly appeared. I don't want to forgive you for your sudden appearance." A strange emotion rose in Marlon's heart. His nose felt sore, and he wanted to cry.
He must have thought that his father was too useless. He was so angry that he wanted to cry.
"I'm sorry!" Henrick's handsome face was full of guilt. "I didn't know about your existence until yesterday, so I came here as soon as I could."
"This time, I'll protect you two and your mother. I promise that I won't do anything to hurt you all in the future." Henrick's voice was very low and full of guilt.
"Hmph!" Marlon snorted coldly. "I won't believe you. I'm going to find Ava."
Marlon thought about it and felt sad. How could Henrick understand how they survived without a father?
He was really disappointed with his father. Henrick didn't know of their existence until the day before. How could there be such a silly father in the world?
"Marlon, I now live next door to you. If anything happens, remember to come and look for me." Henrick didn't dare to push his son too hard as he was afraid that it would backfire.
"Hmph, what can happen? We've been living fine here all these years." After saying that, Marlon ran off with his short legs.
The second villa was not far away from his classmate, Ava's, house. He always liked to play with her when he had nothing to do.
Henrick looked at his son's back with a melancholic expression. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
He could understand his son's thoughts. It was impossible for his son to accept him now, so he could only take it slow.
Henrick glanced in the direction where Alice had left and then in the direction that Marlon had gone. He turned around and followed behind his son.
Marlon took a few steps before he looked back. When he saw Henrick following him from a distance, he couldn't help smiling.
......
After Alice went back, she was very worried. Sitting on the balcony in the room, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
She called Ava's parents and only felt relieved when she heard that her son was at their house.
When she thought of Henrick, her heart sank again.
She looked out of the window into the night. It was the middle of summer, and the starlight was bright and beautiful.
She unconsciously thought of a sentence, "You were late for many years, but I am still happy about your arrival."
Alice thought that she had been poisoned by Henrick for the rest of her life.
Even if she cried every night, she still liked him very much.
Although she had never contacted him since the incident, she still remembered him and reminisced on the memories.
It was not that there was no one chasing after her, and it was not that no one loved her, but when she thought about it, she found that he was the only person she could fall in love with.
"Alas!" Alice let out a long sigh.
Henrick had been waiting outside the door for an entire hour.
When he saw his son come out, he walked over, looked at him, and asked with a smile, "Have you had enough fun?"
"Yeah!" Marlon glanced at him and walked forward. The villa area was still brightly lit at night, and the surrounding area was very safe.
Marlon often went to play with his friends, so he dared to go home by himself.
However, Henrick was still worried.
As soon as he got off the plane, he saw the news that in recent days, there had been a case of theft and assault in the villa area here.
He was worried, so he waited for his son outside.
Along the way, the father and son did not speak.
However, Henrick felt that the atmosphere was surprisingly good. He walked slowly, matching his son's pace, and under the street lamps, their shadows appeared very long.
Looking at his son's lowered head, it was obvious that Marlon was slowing down involuntarily. He couldn't help but smile.
Henrick couldn't help wondering if his son liked him.
The father and son walked all the way to the front of the villa. Marlon looked up at his father. In fact, when he was playing in Ava's house, he saw Henrick standing outside the whole time, watching him. He was very happy that his father had been waiting for him.
"You can go back. I'm going home," Marlon said in a more respectful tone. He was already in primary school. The Clarke family raised the children well, and he respected his elders very much.
Henrick smiled and responded, "Good night!"
Marlon looked at him but didn't say anything. There seemed to be a strange feeling spreading in his heart, but he didn't know what it was.
There was a faint smile between his brows, and his shining eyes were particularly bright.
"Good night!" Marlon said with a smile, then turned around and bounced away.
Henrick looked at his mischievous son's back and his smile became even more gentle.
On the second floor, Alice looked at the interaction between her son and Henrick. She was shocked. When she saw the person standing behind Henrick, her expression changed.
After watching Marlon enter the door, Henrick turned around and left.
Looking up, he suddenly froze on the spot.
Bert stood not far away, looking at him with a dark expression on his face. Bert was still as handsome as ever. This was a person whose talent and appearance were no less than that of Henrick's father, Victor. In Lemmon City, Bert was also a powerful and terrifying person.
"Uncle... Uncle Klein." Henrick didn't expect to meet Bert all of a sudden.
Bert gave him a cold look, walked over, and slapped him hard on his handsome face.
"Brat, how dare you come here?" Bert's voice was full of majesty.
Henrick lowered his head, and the five fingerprints on his face were very clear.
He deserved to be beaten. He had made Alice suffer for so many years and made the children fatherless for so many years.
"Ah..." Alice, who was standing on the second floor, was surprised to see that her father had hit Henrick. She covered her mouth with her hands in shock and stared at Henrick with wide eyes.
Henrick licked the corner of his lips. Bert's slap was extremely heavy, and there was a strong smell of blood in his mouth. In any case, it was his fault.
He looked at Bert, who was still very angry. He frowned and pulled his thin lips into a straight line.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Klein. I hurt Allie when I was young," he sincerely apologized.
Bert's expression darkened even further. "That's all you have to say?"
Henrick looked at him in confusion. Other than being sorry and trying his best to make up for it, he really didn't know what to say.
"Uncle Klein, please believe me. I will never hurt Allie again. This time, I came here to ask for her forgiveness and to pursue her again. During this period of time, I got along well with her. When she left, I found that my heart left with her."
"I'm not sure if you believe me or not, Uncle Klein, but in this life, I have only had eyes for Allie." At this point, he had completely understood the feelings in his heart. Since he knew it, he would no longer run away.
