Jeffery was unhappy, “Who do you think you are talking to?”
“I have a good attitude. What are you and Eddie doing furtively and in an underhand way?” Sean had a guess, but he did not want to admit it. Loredana’s matter had made a lot of noise. Ordinary people could not do it. They also had to consider the Mendelsohn family and the Harris family, even if they wanted to do so.
However, now…
Cormac asked him to lure Chloe to go out of the house. Eddie and Jeffery talked secretly. The matter seemed to be complicated, but it was simple. It was Eddie and Jeffery who did this. The reason why Cormac asked him to lure Chloe was to threaten Eddie and Jeffrey.
However, he did not know why Eddie and Jeffery wanted to do it.
Jeffery frowned and was disgusted by Sean’s words. He thought, “Doing something furtively?”
“You bastard! We were talking about business matters. So am I still have to inform you? You’re not a kid anymore. Don’t you know how to respect people? China is known as the nation of etiquette. Look at yourself. Do you even know what etiquette is? Humph, a star? A star is only an entertainer in ancient times. You’re still delighted about it. You’re such a low fellow!”
Sean listened to his words until the blue veins popped out on his forehead, and he clenched his hands into fists.
Marina listened to them by the side, and it made her shudder. She held Sean back and said, “Noah, don’t be angry about it. Your father is always short-tempered.”
Sean sneered and pointed at Jeffery, “When did he ever take a fancy on me? Did he ever like the things I did? Just an entertainer? Well, I’m going to be the most popular entertainer in China. I’ll see how does he get with me!”
“Noah, how can you talk to your father like that,” Marina pulled him back, “He is your father. Don’t be so stubborn. You guys always quarreled every time met. You guys don’t look like a father and a son.” Marina’s eyes were swimming with tears. She was sad about them. Sean and Eddie were like enemies rather than like a father and a son.
“If I could choose, I wouldn’t choose to be his son!” Sean shook off Marina’s hands and ran out of the house.
Marina sat on the sofa and cried. She also had complaints against Jeffery, “Our son has grown up, and you still talked so harshly. If it were me, I was also angry about it. You were always busy since he was born. The days you stayed in the army were more than that you stayed at home. When he was a child, he was like a fatherless child. As he grew up, you asked him to enlist in the armed force for only a word, and you even beat him when he was not willing to join the army. How could he listen to you? Did you do what a father does? You always say that he has rebelled. Why don’t you think about why he rebelled so much against you?”
As she talked, she got more and more aggrieved. Marina also felt aggrieved as she had to take care of the household all by herself. Since her husband was a headstrong man, he would not be gentle with her. To make things worse, her husband and her only son would quarrel with each other whenever they met. Of course, this home did not feel like home.
Marina cried sadly, and the tears rolled down her cheeks.
Jeffery complained, “You’re not a kid anymore. Why are you still crying? What an embarrassment if others see you crying!”
Marina suddenly stood up and said, “I wanna cry, and I’ll cry in this neighborhood. I want to let all the neighbors know it to lose your face.”
“You’re irrational!” Jeffery was angry and turned around to leave.
Marina stopped him, “Jeffery, I tell you. I’ll divorce you if you quarrel with Noah again in the future.”
Jeffery was stunned. Marina had been managing household affairs diligently and never disobeyed him after marrying him. She even did not say that she wanted to divorce in these years. “Are you mad?”
“Yes, I’m mad! I’m driven mad because of you. Did I ever ask anything of you after I married you? What I want is we can get along like a family. I always support you regardless of what you do, and I never say no to you. But have you ever been tolerant of me? Have you ever consider my feelings?” Marina talked about her grievances over the years with her face covered in tears, “How many days you were by my side when I was pregnant? When I was pregnant, I went to the hospital for body checkups alone. During the later stage of my pregnancy, my legs cramped, and I couldn’t even sleep at night. Where were you at that time, my husband, the father of my son? You never care about me!”
Jeffery stood rooted to the ground. It was the first time Marina lost herself and talked so much in front of him.
No matter how hard-hearted he was, he still had feelings.
He admitted that he had been busy with his career during the young times, and he paid less attention to his family. However, he would not admit his mistake.
It was his character. Jeffery could not bow to coax his wife and say sorry to her, even if he realized he was wrong.
Jeffery walked over to Marina and took a tissue to wipe her tears, “Don’t get angry, okay?”
Marina turned around and did not speak.
Jeffery sighed, “We are at this old age. Do you still want me to coax you?”
Marina cried more loudly.
Jeffery was a straight man and did not know how to be gentle to his wife. Marina never doubted his love, and she also believed that Jeffery would not cheat.
Marina knew his temper well after living with him for most of her life. She could not help but sigh. It was impossible to ask Jeffery to say sorry to her. Marina said to divorce him was to scare him. They would not divorce for real.
However, she felt aggrieved in her heart.
No woman did not desire to be loved.
Marina was an ordinary woman who also wanted to be loved.
She pushed Jeffery away and turned around, and went into the room.
Jeffery stood in the living room, and he was in a fix.
He did not know what to do.
It was the first time he had no idea what to do next in his life.
He sat on the sofa and gave a deep sigh.
He did not go to Cormac.
Sean walked out of the house. He went to Armand instead of Cormac.
Armand had drafted the indictment at this time. Sean stopped him when he was about to go to the court.
“Armand, can I talk to you for a few minutes?”
“I’m not free now,” Armand decisively refused to talk to Sean. He was busy, and he was not free to bullshit with Sean.
Sean did not care about what Armand wanted to do. He pulled Armand to somewhere with nobody. Armand glared at him, “Knock it off. I’m busy now.”
Sean continued to walk forward while said, “I have no-nonsense.”
Armand followed him when he looked at Sean’s anxious face.
They walked over to a tranquil place that was next to the tree, and they stopped there. Sean looked at Armand with a serious face, “You tell me, who framed Loredana?” Armand frowned and asked him in return, “Don’t you know?”
He thought that Sean should not be unaware of what Jeffery did as he was Jeffery’s son.
Sean narrowed his eyes, “Is my dad?”
Sean was not sure about it and asked in a hesitating tone. He wished that this matter would have nothing to do with Jeffery for sure.
However, Armand gave him a head-on blow with his answer, “Why are you still asking me since you’ve known about it?”
Sean did not come back to his senses for a few seconds. He thought, “How could it relate to Jeffery?”
“Why would Jeffery do this?” He pondered.
“Hey, are you okay?” Armand patted Sean on his shoulder, “I have to go now. I still have a business to do,” Armand turned around to leave, but he seemed to have thought of something. He turned around again and looked at Sean, “If you have time, you go and persuade your father. They can discuss peacefully without hurting feelings.”
Sean snorted, “He always behaves egoistically. He won’t listen to other’s words. Nobody can convince him.”
