Chapter 139
“What did you say?” Ingrid’s voice suddenly rose a lot.
Shaun frowned and said earnestly, “I said now that something like this has happened to Roxy, it’s better to cancel the marriage with the Everett family”
Ingrid looked shocked and surprised. “Excuse me? Are you out of your mind? Roxy is already so unlucky, and you’re still asking her to break off the engagement?
“Do you know what you’re thinking? Is there something wrong with your
brain?”
Shaun heaved a long sigh and said with heartache, “I’m doing this for Roxy’s own good! Roxy… Even if she finally managed to marry into the Everett family, she won’t be happy!
“Instead of suffering for the rest of her life, it’s better to stop her losses now. Better a finger off than always aching!”
When Ingrid heard this, she was completely angry. She stretched out her hand and poked Shaun’s head. “What do you mean by that? You want Roxy to give the opportunity to that damn bitch Joanna, right?
“You’re still saying that you’re not biased toward her. You’re biased toward that damn bitch!”
Shaun also stomped his feet anxiously. “Of course not! My heart aches for Roxy, so I don’t want her to marry into the Everett family again!
“If Mr. Everett really loves Roxy, he would have married her long ago! He wouldn’t have delayed it until now!
“Now that such a thing has happened to Roxy, even if she succeeded in marrying into the Everett family, she will be compromising and will not be able to be happy!
“I’d rather she find a man who truly loves her, even if he comes from a slightly lower–class family!”
Ingrid’s face darkened as she cried out, “Forget it! Roxy must marry into the Everett family in this lifetime! Even if she dies, she must be a ghost of the Everett family!
“She’s already unlucky enough now that something like this has happened to her! If she’s abandoned by the Everett family again, how can she live?”
“Oh, you women are just short–sighted! Do whatever you want. I don’t want to talk nonsense with you…”
Shaun could tell that Bruce did not love Roxanne anymore.
Now that something like this had happened to Roxanne, it was even more impossible for Bruce to truly love Roxanne! Even if they got married forcibly, their marriage would not last long.
Ingrid was still cursing. “I don’t want to talk so much nonsense with you. Don’t go against me on this matter!
“Also, hold a press conference next week to announce that you will sever your father–daughter relationship with Joanna.
“If she hadn’t been hooking up with Bruce, Roxy wouldn’t have been heartbroken and wouldn’t have gone out to drink!
“In the end, this matter is all because of that slut Joanna!”
“Got it!”
On the other side.
Kelly brought Irvin home.
“Irvin, you’re back!” Lilia asked with concern.
“Lilia, I’m back!”
“Where’s Davian?”
“Mommy asked Miranda to send Davian to Venturas!”
“Oh…”
“Are you all right?”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry!” Irvin forced a smile.
When he saw his mommy crying so sadly just now, he knew that she must be upset!
However, he was still young and did not know how to protect his mommy. He could only be more obedient and try not to make his mommy worried.
“Where’s Mommy? Why didn’t she come back with you?”
“Oh, Mommy is with Mr. Grimm!”
Hearing that, Lilia stopped asking!
She knew that her mommy was very busy and hardworking. Her mother had to earn money to support her and her brothers and to treat her illness.
Hence, the three children were very sensible. Each of them exuded an early maturity that did not match their ages.
An hour later.
Under Jaydon’s comfort, Joanna’s emotions gradually calmed down!
“I’ll send you back!”
“Okay!”
Jaydon didn’t say anything else and drove Joanna home!
“Irvin, Lilia, Mommy is back!” Joanna entered the house and pretended to be relaxed and casual.
“Mommy…”
Looking at their mommy’s red and swollen eyes, the two kids were terrifyingly quiet!
“Mommy is fine. You two be good!”
Irvin stammered, “Mommy, I want to stay at home to recuperate. I don’t want to go to the hospital anymore!”
Joanna looked at Irvin and found that he was in good spirits. And now that the doctor had prescribed medicine, he should be fine. “Alright then! You
need to rest well at home!”
“Okay, I know!”
“Joann, Irvin, I’m really sorry. It’s all my fault! I feel extremely guilty for causing so much damage to Irvin!”
“It’s okay. It’s hot your fault!”
“Mr. Grimm, when I recover, I’ll continue to make guest appearances for you!”
“Alright, I will definitely wait for you!”
“Okay!”
“Irvin, lie on the bed and rest well! Don’t run around, okay?”
“Got it, Mommy!”
Kelly brought Irvin back to his room to rest!
Only Jaydon and Joanna were left in the living room!
“Joann…” Jaydon hesitated!
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. Call me if you need anything. I’m always there!”
“Well, thank you, Jay!”
Jaydon wrapped his arms around her shoulders and looked at her gently. “You’re always so polite to me, impossible for me to take another step forward!”
Joanna lowered her eyes and said in a daze, “No, I… don’t know how to tell you!”
“Just say what you want to say. I’m listening!”
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about it!” Joanna swallowed her words again!
She wanted to tell Jaydon not to get too close to her!
She knew Bruce’s personality. He was very sinister and ruthless.
She was afraid that he would hurt Jaydon!
However, Jaydon was so good to her! She really could not say these words, even if it was out of kindness!
making our relationship so distant. It’s
“Jay, I… I was afraid that something bad would happen to you!” Joanna said as she looked at Jaydon with red and swollen eyes.
She was really afraid that she would bring him trouble and disaster!
Jaydon stared at Joanna quietly and smiled. “It’s fine. Don’t worry!”
“Jay, how about…”
Jaydon knew what she wanted to say and gently pulled her into his arms. “Alright, you don’t have to say anything. I know!”
After saying that, Jaydon was still a little disappointed!
He probably couldn’t compete with Bruce! It wasn’t that he wasn’t outstanding, but his opponent was too strong!
In the next few days, Joanna began to devote herself to her busy work again!
She did not want to stop. Only by making herself turn like a machine would she not have the energy to think about those annoying things!
And once it stopped, those annoying and unhappy things would engulf her, leaving her nowhere to escape!
Monday.
