Shauna led Fane to the door of a small, dilapidated courtyard house.
There was a big banyan tree in the courtyard. Looking in from there, it appeared tranquil. However, there was the problem that the place was too run down.
"You’re telling me that my mother, Selena, and the inlaws are staying here?" 2
Seeing the house in front of him, Fane felt sorry for them.
Selena was the daughter of Master Taylor. She was fantastically talented. Back then, she was even known as a stunningly beautiful director that exuded pride. Countless people courted her.
At that moment, because of her decision to keep the kid, she was kicked out of the household to stay at such a place! 1
Shauna smiled bitterly. "There's also your little uncle! He was still young five years ago, but he’s now 19 and staying here." 1
"That many people!"
Fane's eyes turned red. "Selena must've had a hard time!"
However, they quickly noticed a Bentley was parked b y the courtyard.
"Why's there a Bentley here?"
Fane scowled, feeling suspicious. 1
"I don't know. After all, I hardly come here. Sigh, too many things have happened over the five years. Miss Selena has been waiting for you all the while!"
"However, her parents' patience ran out a long time ago. Furthermore, they had a strong bias against you... claiming that you forced yourself on Miss Selena during the wedding night, taking advantage of her drunkenness..." Shauna said carefully with a frown.
"Sigh, I can only slowly make it up to them. I've caused father and mother-in-law to suffer together!"
Fane sighed deeply. He too wanted to stay by the side of his woman, and yet was just as helpless.
Just as he entered, Fane scowled and raised his hand, signaling Shauna to keep quiet for the sound coming from within the house made him angry.
The voice of Selena's mother could be heard. "Young Master Clark, don’t you worry. There has been no news of that kid for five years. He's long gone! I'm planning to go apply for a death certificate. By then, you can marry our Selena!"
"Haha, thank you very much!"
Young Master Clark laughed loudly, then said, "Auntie, there's actually no need to get that death certificate. The marriage certificate is just a piece of paper. I, Ken Clark, am not such a superficial person. When the time comes, we just need to arrange a glorious and grand marriage ceremony! The most important thing i s for Selena to agree to our marriage."
"Agree! Of course she'd agree!"
Selena's mother immediately thumped her chest and said, "Don't you worry. Her father and I will help you persuade her!"
"Really? However, she is quite the stubborn one!"
"Back then, if not for her insisting to give birth to that b*stard, you guys wouldn't be kicked out of the Taylor family to suffer alongside her over here!" 1
Young Master Clark then added calmly, "Sigh, five years ago, Selena was the prettiest girl in the Middle Province. Look at her now, what has she become?"
"That's right. It's all that delivery boy’s fault. The original deal was just a faked marriage, yet he ended u p impregnating our Selena.”
Once again, Mrs. Taylor added, "Our Selena is really obstinate, stubbornly claiming that child to be her flesh and blood, swearing to care for her!"
"Hehe, it's okay. Uncle, Auntie, I’m sincerely in love with Selena. Once Selena is with me, wealth is not an issue!"
