Her mommy brought a strange man home, yet her daddy was still looking at the night sky as if nothing had happened?
Did he not have any sense of crisis and urgency?
Nellie pursed her lips and suddenly had an idea. She took a photo of Christian, Bethan, and Nigel chatting together. Then, she posted it on Bethan’s social media.
When he received Jude’s call, Brettley was on the second-floor balcony in Orchard Manor, working on his laptop under the moonlight.
“Brettley, what’s going on? Since when did your nephew Christian Moore know Bethan? I saw her post on social media. They seem tight. They were eating together and laughing about it! Your nephew and your ex-wife are together. Even your son agrees.
How can you bear it?”
Brettley narrowed his eyes. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“I ‘m not talking nonsense! Go look at Bethan’s social media! “
Brettley furrowed his brows and hung up the call. He found Bethan’s social media.
He immediately noticed a photo which made him frown hard.
The social media post was of Bethan and Christian being busy laughing and chatting by the dining table.
Nigel sat opposite them, resting his cheeks on his hands. He was looking at them talking.
The three of them had a harmonious experience. They looked like a real family.
The caption of the photo made Brettley feel breathless.
(Thank you for dinner, Mr. Moore. I ‘m lucky to have met you. What a gift from God.]
What the hell did that mean?
Did Bethan not only get acquainted with Christian?
She only met him that day, yet she already brought him back home for the kids to check him out?
Also, what did that post mean? Was that a declaration of love between Bethan and Christian?
Brettley was annoyed.
He lit a cigarette and tapped open his chat with Bethan. He wanted to say something to her, but he never sent his message out.
In the end, he placed his phone down irritatedly, stood up, and went to the side of the balcony to smoke.
Even if Bethan really liked Christian and got together with him, what did it have to do with him?
The moment Neil and the fourth child in her womb died, he lost his right to be with her.
They had the death of two children standing in between them.
It was impossible and irreconcilable.
To get Bethan to hate him like what he was doing at that moment was far easier than getting her to try to accept him and fall in love with him.
However…
Brettley violently took in a puff of the cigarette. He put out the cigarette, turned around, and headed downstairs.
Even if Bethan wanted to be in a relationship with someone else, it should not be Christian Moore, who just turned 19!
“Brettley, it’s late. Where are you going?”
Hearing footsteps coming from the corridor, Fiona pursed her lips and walked out of her room in an adorable yet s*xy pair of pajamas.
She timidly looked at Brettley, who was putting on his coat.
“Are you going to work late?”
“There is something I need to deal with.”
Brettley remained his head lowered while buttoning his coat.
“Stay home and rest well. Dr. Rowena has already arrived in the manor today. The bodyguards around have been replaced by a smarter group. If there is anything, just look for Dr. Rowena or the butler.
Don’t wait up.”
Then, Brettley left without looking back. The direction in which he was driving was heading to Blue Bay Villa.
When Brettley reached Blue Bay Villa, Bethan was just seeing Christian out.
The two of them were laughing and chatting while coming out of the villa.
Brettley parked in a dark corner and rolled his window down. He could hear their voices in the night breeze.
Bethan was wearing newly bought clothes walking in front. She smiled and walked together with Christian.
“I ‘m very sorry for today. I wanted to let you have a taste of my cooking, but the accident at the market
Then, Bethan smiled and looked at Christian. “But it’s fine. Nothing will happen tomorrow. Why don’t you come over tomorrow and try it out.”
Christian chuckled. “Okay. That’s great too. I did not bring things over today. I’ll bring them over tomorrow for you.”
Then, Christian turned to look at Bethan. “Right, by the way, what do Nigel and Nellie like? I can’t come empty-handed tomorrow.”
Bethan laughed helplessly, “You don’t need to bring gifts for them. Visiting them is the best gift you could give them.”
Christian has already planned to donate his bone marrow to Nigel to save Nigel’s life.
How could she possibly let Christian buy gifts for them?
Christian subconsciously paused a little upon Bethan’s words.
Bethan was treating him as a savior seriously. It made him feel a little guilty and uneasy.
In the end, he was just a liar.
He knew that Bethan mistook him for someone else, yet he refused to explain it to her. He even wanted to use Bethan’s gratitude toward him to get what he wanted.
Thus, the more polite Bethan was to him, the guiltier he felt.
Christian secretly swore, when all of this ended…
Not only was he going to apologize and ask for forgiveness humbly, but he also had to do something for her to make up for her kindness.
At that thought, Christian took a deep breath, turned, and looked at Bethan seriously. “Your children will get better.”
Bethan was such a nice person. She should not receive any more suffering.
“Thank you.”
Bethan smiled and thanked Christian. Christian’s car arrived.
He turned and looked at Bethan once more. “I should be the one thanking you.”
Then, Christian strode away and got in the car. The car drove off. Bethan stood in the same spot, looking at Christian leaving. It was until his car was a tiny black dot in her eyes only then did she take a deep breath and turn around, preparing to head back to the villa.
However, she did not expect that she barely turned and took a few steps when someone fiercely grabbed her wrist.
Bethan turned back alertly.
What she saw was a man with angular facial features in rage.
“Brettley?”
She furrowed her brows. She tried to break free while looking at him coldly.
“Why are you here?”
Should he not be in Orchard Manor being together with his beloved Ms. Blake?
What was he doing here? “Why? Can’t I come?”
He squinted his eyes and grabbed onto Bethan’s wrist tighter. He pulled her over.
