Wilson stood still, and he replied faintly, "The newspaper gave a very exposition of the facts."
When Bellamy heard that, he threw another teacup to Wilson. "I'm not blind! I'm asking for your explanation now!"
"I don't want to marry her." Wilson didn't hide and it hit him on the shoulder with a muffled sound.
Then it bounced on the wall next to him with a crisp sound and fell on the ground where lay the last one.
Bellamy had been in the military region for a long time and had a reputation for being tough. He was used to reprimanding his troops, so he came in a fit of anger. Now that he had seen Wilson's abrupt manner, he couldn't help glaring at him in anger.
"Dad, calm down!"
When Adam saw this, he stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and strode forward, trying to shield his younger brother. "Wilson, you were too impulsive about that!"
When Bellamy saw his eldest son come in wearing the military uniform, he lowered his hand. His chest heaved violently before he sat back down on the mahogany chair. However, he was still angry and scolded loudly, "If you don't want to marry her, then why don't you tell her family before? You agreed to this marriage. But now the wedding is hand, you said you wanted to cancel it. What do you think you are playing at?"
Wilson knew that could say nothing in his defense, so he just kept silent.
Simon, behind them, said lazily, "What's the matter? Can we sit down and talk it over?"
Upon hearing his voice, Bellamy finally noticed that his youngest son was present. He was surprised to see his son's tall and straight figure. After all, ever since Simon secretly married many years ago, he had truly done what he promised and never stepped into this house again, even on Christmas Eve.
"You know to go home, don't you?"
Simon stood upright next to his second elder brother Wilson with both hands on his back. "Wilson told me that you haven't been feeling well recently. He asked me to come back and see you!"
"How can I be healthy with you filthy rats!" Bellamy kept a straight face.
"The wedding has been canceled, so getting mad does no good for your body!" Simon said calmly.
Bellamy immediately homed in on him. "Shut up! You have no right to speak here! What the f*ck has gotten into you? Four years ago, you secretly got married without even informing your family. Have you and Wilson forgotten that your father is still alive?"
Simon paused for two seconds and then he said, "I am divorced."
"What did you say?" Bellamy was shocked.
"I don't want to repeat it." Simon said in a husky whisper with sadness in his eyes. It seemed that he didn't want to mention it again.
"Divorce? You-" Bellamy stood up once again and strode around the writing desk to Simon furiously. "How could you get married and divorce secretly. How can I have a son like you? Marriage is a lifelong commitment, not fun and game!"
Bellamy was angry as hell. He had no energy to do any further moves and clutched at the edge of the desk for support.
When Adam saw this, he stepped forward again to support him. "Dad, don't be so angry! It's bad for your health."
"And you. Your wife died many years before.
Do you want to remain a bachelor all your life?" Bellamy pushed his eldest son's hand away and raised his voice unhappily.
Adam, who got a roasting for no reason, was speechless,"..."
The proudest accomplishment in Bellamy's life might be his three sons, who respectively joined the army, worked as businessmen and became a famous doctor in Ice city, even if his youngest son didn't follow his instructions to enter politics. However, he couldn't help worrying about their marriages, which was Sod's Law.
