"Uncle... thank you." Xavier said after sitting in the car for quite a while.
He thanked John, because John didn't ignore his intention, and he didn't treat him with prejudice after he knew the truth.
John and he sat side by side in the back seat of the car. Hearing this, John sighed lightly, "Xavier, you had suffered so much harm and grievances, but why didn't you tell me that year?" If Xavier told him earlier, he would have dealt a blow to the Meng family a long time ago. Anyway, he would never allow anyone to bully his child.
When Zena hurt Elizabeth for the first time, he let her go for the sake that they had known each other for so many years. However, he had his limits.
It had been so long since Xavier was hurt. He felt sorry for Xavier, and blamed himself at the same time.
At that time, James and Xavier were studying in the school, and he was busy with managing the company and socializing with his business partners. He thought that they had grown up, so he just cared about their
studies sometimes and gave them enough pocket money. He had really neglected to care about their lives.
He... was not a qualified father.
"Uncle, it's all over."
John was silent for a moment, "Mm."
After coming out of the villa, James drove very fast.
As soon as he entered Lu Mansion, he saw that John and Xavier had just got out of the car. Seeing that he came back so soon, John did not ask much. After saying something to Xavier, he took the lead and entered the house.
Xavier stood where he was and watched James walking toward him. He looked up at the sky and then took a deep breath. When he looked at James again, there was a smile on his face. Although it was very faint, James had no way to ignore it.
"You are so fast."
James smiled, "I was just afraid that you would be embarrassed in front of dad."
Xavier nodded, "It doesn't matter."
"What?"
"I said, it doesn't matter." Xavier repeated. After that, he smiled more brightly, "In the past, I thought too much, and it wasn't a good thing. But anyway, uncle has known it. Fortunately... he didn't say anything, and I am totally relieved."
"By the way, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might still be like a frightened bird now. However, people are really strange. I don't know if it is because I've suffered too much. Now I'm not afraid of anything.
"Maybe it's because I've seen everything through. Or, maybe it's because you've helped me take back those things. I don't have to worry about anything."
"So." Xavier said very seriously, "Thank you, Jimmy. What's more... I am very sorry for you. Otherwise, I may..."
Before he could finish his words, James interrupted him, "Don't say that. That's so cheesy. I can't stand it." He wanted to make Xavier happy, so he said, "Besides, do you think I did that for you? I did that for myself, really. Look at me now. How delighted and relieved I am! Don't think too much."
"Jimmy..."
"All right." James stopped smiling and said seriously, "Xavier, it's a good thing that this problem has been solved. I am very glad that you have figured out so many things. It's Zena's fault. Even if you are not happy in heart, you don't need to make things difficult for yourself."
"Xavier, we're both more than 30 years old. We're still young, but in fact, we've spent almost half of our lives. For the rest of our lives, we should live well and happily. As long as we're all safe and sound, it's good. What do you think?"
"I understand." Xavier nodded and turned back to look at the direction of the house. He turned around and smiled helplessly, "I understand this, but I suddenly..."
"Don't tell me that you aren't going in." James frowned and said.
