Chapter 75
Chapter 75
At eleven o’clock in the evening, Elliot reluctantly left Amber’s house. Seeing him start the car and leave, the other car under the shade also left.
“I can’t let it go on like this! It’s too painful to wait for him every day, and it can’t change anything.” Rodney kept driving, and he had already told the news to the Thomson family. Why hadn’t the Thomson family taken any measures yet?
“Are they really going to let Elliot marry a woman with a divorced child?” Thinking about it, she shook her head. Although Elliot’s reputation was not good, he had always been favored by the Old Master. The Old Master paid most attention to the matching family background. How could he agree? Then what was wrong?
On the other side, Rodney found it strange. In the Thomson family’s old house in the United States, the old man was holding two iron balls in his hand and lying on a chair in the garden, basking in the sun with his eyes closed. The housekeeper hurried over and said, “Master, Big Master is here!”
“What is he doing here?” The old tutor snorted. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“It’s about the Seventh Young Master.”
The housekeeper was naturally referring to Elliot. The old man opened his eyes and sneered. “Tell him to get lost!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure strode over. “Father!”
“Didn’t I tell you to get lost?” The old man was not happy.
“Father, don’t be angry. I have something to tell you. It’s about Elliot.” The man had features similar to Elliot’s. However, he was less flamboyant and more refined.
“Speak!” The honored tutor’s words were as precious as gold.
“Elliot has been having a hard time recently. He’s actually getting together with his assistant. Father should be in charge.”
“What’s there to be surprised about?” The old man snorted.
“The key point is that this woman is divorced and has a child with her.” The man reminded.
“What’s wrong with a divorced woman? She’s much better than a married woman!” The old tutor retorted.
The man’s face suddenly turned red. “Father!”
“I told you, I’m not your father. Ever since you abandoned your wife and son and got together with that disgusting woman, I didn’t have a son like you, nor did I have a shameless father like you!”
“Father, I can understand why you are angry with me, but you really have to be careful!” The man continued to persuade with a red face.
“I don’t care about Elliot? Have you asked him a little over the years? You only care about that bitch. What do you want a son for?” The old man sneered.
“It’s your father’s fault. Since you have already made up your mind, you don’t have to argue anymore. You don’t need to care about Elliot’s affairs. He has the freedom to be with anyone he likes, as long as he is not the kind of woman with a husband!”
“Father!”
“Well, you can go now!” The old man drove him away with a cold face. Seeing that the man didn’t want to leave, he became furious and shouted to the housekeeper standing beside him, “What are you
waiting for? Get someone to throw him out immediately!”
Seeing that the old man was furious, the butler had no choice but to step forward. “Eldest Young Master, you may leave. Don’t make things difficult for us!”
Seeing this, the man had to leave unwillingly.
After the man left, the old man’s face was still full of anger. He said angrily, “This unfilial son of mine actually has the face to say ‘Elliot’. If he hadn’t done such a shameless thing back then, would Elliot have become like this? My grandson was ruined by him.”
“Old Master, please calm down!” The butler quickly comforted him. “It has been so many years, and Big Master also knows that he is wrong. Please forgive him for a while!”
“Forgive him?” The Old Master sneered. “I wanted to forgive him, but what did you see him doing? He’s in South City, but things have come to this point before he tried to stop me. If he really has a son, why does he only talk about this now?”
“Seventh Young Master hates Eldest Young Master so much. He won’t listen to you,” the butler explained.
“You won’t listen to him even if he’s a father? Are you going to let him go just like that?” The old tutor snorted angrily. “It’s been so long, and the people in my family are deliberately hiding the news from me. They want me to marry a useless woman so that they can expel him. It’s really chilling!”
“Master, don’t think too much. They didn’t tell you because they were afraid that you would be worried.”
“You’re afraid of me? Haha!” The old man sneered. “That way, I’ll be worried if you don’t ask me.”
“Old Master, let’s think about what to do with the Seventh Young Master first!”
“What should we do? It’s cold!” The old man rubbed the space between his eyebrows. “Elliot’s temper is that the more you stop him, the more he’ll go against you. Leave this matter alone. She’s just a divorced woman with a child. It’s just that she’s a little pretty, so I don’t believe that she’s more attractive than those famous stars. Let’s observe her for a while before making any plans.”
The next day, when Elliot and Amber came back for lunch, they found an uninvited guest from the company. The person who came was travel-worn. Elliot saw the smiling face of the person suddenly sank. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to see you.”
“Look at me. Is there anything wrong with your brain?” Elliot sneered.
Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Amber left after making a cup of tea. Her father and Elliot were about the same age and appearance, so she guessed that they must be Elliot’s elders. As for whether they were father or uncle, she was not sure.
Only Elliot and his father Reece were left in the room. Reece looked at his son’s hostile eyes and said helplessly, “Elliot, today is your birthday. Dad didn’t celebrate your birthday with you before. Today, I want to celebrate your birthday with you.”
“Hey, did you take the wrong medicine?” Elliot didn’t appreciate it at all. “As usual, if you have something to say, just say it. I don’t have time to chat with you!”
Mr. Thomson Jinlin smiled awkwardly. “I just came back from the United States. Grandpa asked me to send you a message.”
“You’re not dreaming, are you?” Elliot sneered. “Grandpa will let you, an unfilial son driven out of the house, talk to him? Haha, it’s so funny!”
Reece didn’t care about his sarcasm. “Grandpa asked me to send you a message. You can play with it, but you can’t be angry. Women who divorce and have children are absolutely not allowed to enter the Mr. Thomson family.”
Elliot raised his eyebrows. “Compared to some people who are having an affair with a married woman, it’s too childish for me to find a divorced woman to be my girlfriend.”
Reece’s face suddenly turned red. After a while, he said, “Elliot, you don’t know much about His Honor. Your mother and I have no feelings for each other…”
“Do you have feelings for a woman with a man?” Elliot interrupted him. “Reece, let me tell you, do you know why I look down on you? If you really don’t like my mother, you can choose to divorce her. But you don’t. You hooked up with a woman with a man and coaxed my mother. You are the most disgusting and irresponsible man in the world.”
“Elliot, I’m sorry!” Mr. Thomson Jinlin looked ashamed.
“You don’t have to apologize to me. From the moment you abandoned our mother and me and raised your lover outside, we had already broken our friendship.” Elliot looked at him mockingly.
“Please don’t appear in front of me again. You don’t need to care whether I am in a relationship with a divorced woman or marry her.”
Reece was shocked. “Elliot, are you serious?”
“Do you think I’m joking?” Elliot sneered.
“Elliot, listen to me. Don’t be angry. After all, I’m your father. I won’t harm you.”
“Father? Bah!” Elliot suddenly raised his voice. “A man who only knows his lover and doesn’t know his wife and children is qualified to call him father?”
“I know you hate me, but no matter how much you hate me, you can’t joke about your marriage!”
“You really know how to flatter yourself. Do you deserve my hatred?” Elliot sneered. “Leave my office immediately. Don’t dirty my land!”
“Elliot!”
“Are you leaving or not? I’ll call the security guards to throw you out!”
Reece looked at his son’s fierce eyes and felt a little timid. He had cared little about his son since he was a child. He had never been close to him. Since he had a woman outside, he had been at odds with him. It seemed that he might throw him out.
After thinking for a while, he had to leave resentfully.
After Reece left, Amber pushed open the door of Elliot’s office. Elliot’s face was gloomy. He was sitting in a chair and gasping for breath. “Inform the receptionist that the man is not allowed in the future!”
“What happened?” Amber looked at him worriedly.
“Nothing.” Elliot calmed down and looked at Amber for a while before returning. “That person was my father just now, but I didn’t recognize him.”
Amber was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Elliot stood up and walked to the window to light a cigarette. His handsome face darkened.
Every family had their own difficulties. They had been by Elliot’s side for a long time and had never heard him mention his family.
However, the first time his father showed up, it was a tense atmosphere. It was said that rich and powerful families were as deep as the sea. For some reason, Amber felt sorry for Elliot.
Because of Reece’s appearance, Elliot was in a bad mood all day. Amber did not dare to disturb her, but returned to his office. After work, Walter took a beautifully wrapped bag into Amber’s office.
“This is the clothes Mr. Thomson bought for you. Go try them on.”
“Why did you spend so much money to buy clothes?”
“Mr. Thomson will take you to a cruise party today.”
“But I promised Mel to go home for dinner tonight…”
“Mr. Thomson said that this is work!” Walter emphasized. Thinking that the woman in front of him was Elliot’s heart, he immediately softened his tone and said, “Assistant Mole, Mr. Thomson is in a bad mood today. You can accompany him and make him happy. Now you are the only one who can make him happy!”
Amber had no reason to refuse. Elliot was in a bad mood today, so it was indeed the time to comfort him.
Amber opened the exquisite package and found that there was an evening gown inside. There was a rest room in Amber’s office. She locked the door and went into the rest room to change into an evening dress.
After changing his clothes and entering Elliot’s office, his face was no longer as gloomy as it was at noon. Instead, he was talking to Deon with a smile. When he heard the two people pushing the door and looking at Amber at the same time, their eyes were full of amazement.
Elliot’s eyes emitted a gentle gaze. “That’s right. I still lack a piece of jewelry.”
As he spoke, he opened the drawer, took out a box, and opened it. Inside was an exquisite diamond necklace. Elliot got up and walked to Amber. “Put this on and it’ll be perfect.”
“Be obedient, put it on!” Before Amber could say anything, he spoke first, with a hint of pleading in his tone. “Don’t make me unhappy.”
Amber’s heart softened. He didn’t refuse and allowed Elliot to personally help her put on the necklace. After putting on the necklace, Elliot took a step back and nodded with satisfaction. “Beautiful! Beautiful!”
While Walter was driving, Elliot and Amber were sitting in the back row. The car drove fast all the way and soon arrived at the beach.
Walter opened the door and Elliot held Amber’s car.
On the sea not far away, there was a giant cruise ship.
Elliot pointed in the direction of the cruise ship. “Tonight, we will spend a beautiful night on this luxurious cruise ship.”
Seeing that Elliot had come with Amber’s hand, someone welcomed them warmly and led them to the luxury cruise ship.
It was the first time that Amber had seen such a beautiful yacht. He couldn’t help looking around.
Looking at her surprised look, Elliot couldn’t help but laugh. “You look like a country bumpkin entering the city.”
“You’re right. I’ve never been on such a luxurious cruise ship in my entire life. I’ve only seen it on TV.”
Elliot was just teasing her. He didn’t expect her to be so sincere. He sighed and wrapped his arms around Amber’s waist. “If you like it, I’ll give you one and name it by your name!”
“No, it’s too extravagant!”
“For me, there’s only happiness and no luxury.”
“That’s right. You seemed to have sent a luxury yacht to a female star before.” Amber joked.
“That’s different. Those are just entertainment. You’re different to me!” He looked at Amber’s eyes seriously. “Amber, I really love you!”
Elliot’s eyes would give way, so Amber didn’t dare to look him in the eye. She turned her head shyly and saw the last person she wanted to see.
