Charles replied with a nasal sound. Watching Tom’s leaving, Tiana then pushed Charles into the community.
When walking, Tiana spoke to Charles, “Loredana is so lucky.”
“Huh? Why do you say so?” Charles felt curious. She only had dinner at her home, how did she know that Loredana was having a happy life?
“Is it because her husband is so good to her?” Charles asked.
Tiana shook her head and then quickly nodded, “I don’t know whether her husband is good to her. I said so because of her son and daughter. They are so good-looking and cute.”
“Charles, will we have a baby in the future? Many couples will have a baby after getting married. We also have gotten married, does it mean that I will also have a baby soon?” There was a trace of anticipation in her tone of voice.
Charles, “…”
“Tiana, I’m sleepy. Let’s hurry up to go home, okay?”
Charles couldn’t answer this question, nor could he explain it.
Tiana was very obedient. She didn’t say anything else and pushed him back home. When they arrived home, they found Tiana’s parents were all in the living room, seeming to be talking something. Both of them had gloomy expressions.
Seeing that their daughter and daughter-in-law were back, they stopped the conversation tacitly. Maisy waved her hand to gesture her daughter to come over. Tiana walked over and sat down obediently, “Mom.”
Maisy rubbed her long hair and asked, “What did you eat outside.”
Tiana told her she ate dinner at Loredana’ home, “Their maid is good at cooking and the dishes she cooked were so delicious. Loredana has two children and they are so good-looking.”
Maisy shifted her gaze to Charles and asked, “Children?”
Didn’t she only get pregnant some time ago?
Where were the children from?
Charles explained, “She gave birth to a pigeon pair before.”
Maisy understood it soon. But she was confused at the next moment when thinking that they had two children? She asked, “Did they get married?”
Why didn’t they hold a wedding ceremony?
“They’ve married. As for why they didn’t hold a wedding ceremony, I’m also not clear of it.” Charles didn’t say too much of this. In front of Maisy, he pretended to be Loredana’ friend. So it will be abnormal if he knows too much about Loredana’ situation.”
Maisy nodded her head, seeming to understand something. She patted her daughter, “You two shall go to bed early.”
Tiana smiled, stood up and walked towards the bedroom. But Charles didn’t move; instead, he looked towards Maisy and Alan, “Did you encounter a problem? Seems like you quarreled just now.” Alan still looked hideous. It seemed like he was very bothered.
Maisy heaved a long sigh. Thinking that Charles was not an outsider, she told him, “You also know about my situation. I have a brother and we seldom contact each other in usual ties. But he suddenly came to find me, saying that one of his friends got injured and hoping I can let his friend stay at my home for several days…”
“Friend? Didn’t you see the news several days ago? Don’t you know who that person is?”
Before Maisy could finish her words, Alan interrupted her angrily, “He never comes to us except for help. He didn’t show any respect to you in usual times, but now when he needs your help, he tries to close your relationship and call you sister. He even wanted to hide a living person at our home. What does he think our home is?”
Alan snorted coldly, “Drop the idea about this matter. I won’t agree to it.”
Although Maisy was unwilling to do so, since Declan had begged her, she had no choice. Even though she had not that much feeling towards this brother and seldom contacted him, since he had asked for her help personally, it seemed to be inappropriate for her to refuse it. After all, they were siblings.
Thinking of this, Maisy couldn’t help but let out a sigh. She didn’t know what to do.
“Who’s that person? Maybe I can help you.” Charles asked.
Maisy’s eyes lit up. It was feasible to hide that person in the White City since Charles was not a citizen of City B. Then this problem would be solved, right? Declan wanted to hide that person in Maisy’s home because he thought her home was safe. But hiding him in the White City was safer than in her home.
Maisy thought Charles had done a great favour to her, “Charles…”
When Maisy prepared to say something to Charles, Alan interrupted his wife in a deep voice, “Are you muddled-headed?”
He was not angry about Maisy telling Charles about Declan’s matter; instead, he was angry that she didn’t consider the consequences. He looked at his wife seriously, “You’re clear of your brother’s characteristics. Haven’t you seen the news? Apparently that person is not a good man. But you try to leave it to Charles. Do you want Charles to get involved in these dirty things?”
Maisy didn’t think too much of it just now as she just wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible. But when hearing her husband’s reminder, she thought of it carefully. It was true that she couldn’t leave that person to Charles because the thing that person did in the temple had caused great attention.
Even Declan couldn’t hide him. This matter was definitely not that simple.
She only had a daughter, so she could by no means bring trouble to her daughter and daughter-in-law.
Since Charles only came to City B not long ago, he didn’t know what had happened and asked, “I’m not an outsider. Tell me if you have any problem so that I can give you some advice.”
Alan heaved a long sigh and said to Charles sincerely and earnestly, “You came to City B not long ago, so you may not know about the situation in the city. This is not the White City. There are many big wits here and it’s very complicated. I don’t want to tell you because I don’t want you to get involved in those unnecessary troubles.”
Charles knew that Alan’s words were for the sake of him, but he sincerely wanted to help them.
“Now that I’ve been your daughter-in-law, I will regard myself as a member of the Meyer family. Now, dad and mom have encountered a problem that bothers you, as Tiana’s husband, how can I just stand aside? Even if I can’t help, dad, mom, please tell me what’s going on. Don’t take me as an outsider or a weak person.”
Alan heaved a long sigh, “Why are you so stubborn?”
Since Charles had said these words, it seemed to be inappropriate if he continued to keep it a secret. So Alan asked him to read the news.
Charles took out his phone and searched the news according to Alan’s words. Then he quickly found numerous pieces of news about the temple. A naked man actually appeared in the temple, a place where enshrined Buddha and required quietness. And that man had many injures. There must be some inside stories.
“Your fucking brother Declan just wants to put such a dirty thing into our home. How can he think of such a wicked idea? Alan said in a cold voice.
Charles was still reading the news with his head lowered, but he accidently saw a piece of news about Cormac and Loredana going shopping in the mall together.
He hesitated for a while and swiped past it. He then continued to read the news about the temple.
“He creates troubles every day. This time he even offended Cormac. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought of hiding that person in our home because he can’t hide him outside.” Alan didn’t want to get involved in Declan’s matters. But that matter about Declan had caused great attention within the city. Even though he didn’t want to know about his information, he had heard of it.
Charles looked up at Alan and asked, “What’s its relationship with Cormac?”
“I’m not clear of the detail either. I just heard some rumours about this matter. It seemed like Declan caught Cormac’s man and locked the person in the temple. Then the scene you saw on the reports just now happened. Humph, doesn’t want to hand over his friend, nor can he hide him outside. Therefore, he wants to hide him at our home. He’s so evil! Even though his father had a son at an old age, he can’t pamper him light this. Pampering your son is like killing him. Declan is so unruly and he will have some big troubles sooner and later.”
Charles was lost in his thought after hearing Alan’s words. Declan caught Cormac’s man. Who had he caught? Was it Loredana?
A naked man in the temple… Apparently he must be doing something evil. When thinking that the person he caught was probably Loredana, his eyes turned gloomy. “Dad, after all, Declan is mom’s brother. If we refuse his request, we will definitely offend him.”
Alan didn’t take it seriously, “For such kind of person, we have to offend him sooner or later. It’s good for us to offend him earlier so that he won’t pester us again.”
Maisy was clear of her husband’s quality. If he insisted on leaving Declan alone, it was useless no matter what she said. She subconsciously heaved a long sigh. The person who would accompany her for the rest of her life was her husband and she and her brother were just tied by blood. In terms of deep feelings, of course, she had a deeper feeling towards her husband.
“Charles, it’s late now, go to bed early. Listen to your dad’s words and leave this matter alone. It doesn’t matter even though Declan will bear grudges towards me because of this matter later. After all, we seldom contacted each other over the years and he never showed any respect to me, his sister.”
Charles still wanted to try it. It was not for Cormac, but Loredana.
“Dad, mom, I know you all don’t want to have any entanglement with Declan. But after all, he’s your relative. If I stand aside, people will gossip about it. Anyway, I and Tiana will come back to the White City soon. Ask Declan to give the person to me and I will bring him to the White City and then randomly arrange him at a place. No one will find it and it will stop Declan from complaining about anything.” Alan didn’t reply. He still didn’t want Charles to get involved in this matter. But apparently, Charles wanted to help them, which made him feel comforted.
