Chapter 171: Merry’s fiance
“Then let’s see how much you really love your wife?” Merry said moving his right hand down and looking at the ring on his ring finger, an extra intriguing smile on the corner of his lips.
“Definitely more than you think.” Albert smiled and let go of his hand as the noodles came and, just like ten years ago, surprisingly, one point was served first.
Albert smiled as he picked up his chopsticks, picked up the shrimp on top, and brought it to Merry’s mouth.
“I don’t like shrimp, you can eat it yourself.” Merry pushed the shrimp away from her mouth, yes, she still likes shrimp, but she can’t eat it at this time.
When Albert picked up this shrimp again, he had actually thought of it, but he still wanted to try it. The result was a little disappointing, but it gave him expectations, at least she didn’t scold him or tell him to get lost, which is a good sign.
Not long after, Merry that bowl also served, also do not know is she is intentionally also remembered the previous, surprisingly will be the bowl of ribs picked up, put into Albert’s bowl.
Albert froze, and so did Merry, with a second piece of ribs on her chopsticks, which just stopped in mid-air.
Merry was a little embarrassed and stiffened her painful senses and put the second piece of ribs into Albert’s bowl, then covered up, “I don’t like meat, I hope you don’t mind.”
“Of course I don’t mind, here, this piece of egg you eat.” Albert didn’t just don’t mind, he was so happy that he graciously pushed the bowl in front of Merry and put the egg in Merry’s bowl.
Merry didn’t say anything, just pushed Albert’s bowl away and looked down to eat her own bowl of noodles.
This awkward atmosphere didn’t last long, because Albert spoke up.
“Thank you for having such a wonderful son for me.” Albert picked up a piece of rib and wanted to send it back to Merry’s bowl, but he knew it wasn’t the same as it was ten years ago, so he sent it back to his own bowl.
“That’s your good genes, but if you want to take Bruce back to China, I’m afraid it’s not that easy. Even if he’s okay with it himself, will your family, your wife, accept it? I’m not going to let my son go to be white.” Merry said in a serious manner.
Ten years ago merry and Albert did not spend much time together, but she knew enough about The Barrett family.
With The Barrett family those eyes on the top of the head, is certainly not to recognize Bruce, not to mention their own son, they know. If her son really returned to The Barrett family, I’m afraid Barrett family will be turned upside down, which is not what she expects, and besides, she is not willing to give her child to those selfish and despicable people.
“I’m not married, I haven’t even thought about getting married again since I lost you ten years ago.” Albert mindlessly steamed his noodles, thinking back on these ten years of ‘walking dead’ life to realize how happy he was at this moment.
“You’re thirty years old and you’re still not married? Don’t your family rush you?” Merry was a bit surprised, since she met Albert, the first reason she wanted to escape was to worry that Albert already had a family, but now this first reason to escape was gone.
“Thanks to my son, I can finally get rid of the cage that has been trapping me for 30 years, and from now on, wherever you are, my home will be. Albert said with deep emotion.
“Is that so? Even if my son says yes, and I say yes, I’m afraid – he won’t say yes.” Merry smiled and pointed her finger at the blond man who was coming this way.
“Merry, it looks like I’m late.” The blond man smiled at Merry before turning to Albert and extending his hand, “Hello, my name is Tony.”
“Tony, this is Albert,” Merry said as he introduced the two men.
“Albert, Bruce, he’s Bruce’s dad, that’s-” Looking at Tony’s open mouth, Albert was uncomfortable, was he mocking? Or was he surprised? Or do you think he should not appear?
But from his exaggerated expression, Albert found another proof of Merry’s love for himself, and that was his son’s surname, she let him take the surname Barrett, and that was proof enough. But at the same time, what does the man’s last name Xu mean? Was it a declaration of the relationship between the two of them?
“Yes, but we are no longer related, he just stopped by to see Bruce, Tony, don’t get me wrong.” Merry said, stood up and took Tony’s arm affectionately, looking as if she was trying to please him desperately.
This made Albert uncomfortable, especially with Merry’s hands, and he hated to go up and separate them.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“It’s okay, I won’t get the wrong idea, even if we’re not together anymore, we can still be friends, Mr. Albert, don’t you think so?” Tony said sitting down next to Merry, and he picked up the chopsticks that Merry had placed on the bowl, and surprisingly ate the noodles, and the lotus egg that he chucked into Merry’s bowl.
“Tony, did daddy call you to come home for dinner tonight?” Merry chatted with Tony with excessive enthusiasm, and after the introduction, seemed to forget Albert’s existence.
Albert knew she was doing it on purpose, but he couldn’t help but be angry.
“Of course, Merry, where does Mr. Albert live, do you need to stay with him for the next few days?” Tony put down his chopsticks and looked at Albert, while Merry surprisingly took the chopsticks and started-
Albert’s eyes glared red, Merry actually fed Tony the noodles, before when he asked her to, she said she was embarrassed and said something about being embarrassed to be seen, but now she actually took the initiative to feed.
“Ba–” The bamboo chopsticks in Albert’s hand were actually broken by him, and this sound also scared Merry’s hand to shake, and Tony even dropped the noodles in his mouth.
“Merry, he-” Tony finally came to his senses after Merry secretly pinched him.
“Sorry for the poor quality of these chopsticks.” Albert calmly called the waiter and replaced the chopsticks with a new pair.
“Mr. Albert has studied Chinese kung fu?” Golden Hair said with glowing eyes.
Looking at Golden Hair’s glowing eyes, Albert suddenly had a plan in his head, so he nodded and said, “I’ve learned a few years.”
“Really, then Mr. Albert, then I can worship-”
“Tony, it’s getting late, let’s hurry up and go to Daddy’s house.” Tony wanted to say something but was intentionally interrupted by Merry.
“Merry, there’s no hurry, it’s still early, let’s-”
“Albert, we have things to do so we’ll go first, thank you for helping me carry my things today.” Merry, however, yanked up Tony, shoving the shopping bags into his hands with a flourish, then dragged him out by the arm.
Albert did not say anything, he believed he would win back Merry’s heart.
Ten years ago there was too much helplessness, but now, ten years later, they are both adults and no one can stop him from being with Merry anymore.
Sometimes, he really hates his own gentlemanly manner, but it does not matter, he will figure out Merry and Tony’s relationship.
Albert sulked back to the hotel, but the Fred couple has not yet returned, which makes him even more depressed, alone, the easier it is to get into the wrong, but this matter in addition to Elena, Tony, only the son knows.
After thinking about it, he decided to find his son to ask faster.
This time Albert was determined to call his son over no matter what, so as soon as the call was answered, he scolded, “Brat, do you want your father to be dumped by your mother, come here quickly, or I will kidnap you even if I go through New York.”
Albert did not expect his son to become a real genius, not only not afraid, but to tease him, “Dad, it seems that you are not satisfied, but it is useless to look for me, I am a man, why don’t you go find some ladies, at most I will not tell mommy.”
“Brat, get your ass over here right now, your mommy is gone, and I’m not going to eat you.” This was the first time Albert was so angry.
Bruce on the other end of the phone froze, and then said as if yawning, “Okay, okay, but Dad, I’m hungry, you have to treat me to a big meal tonight.”
“I know, brat, you come quickly, I really do not know if I owe you in a previous life.” Albert cursed and hung up the phone, no way, his son and Merry is his nemesis, to this mother and son, he is love and angry, especially to Merry.
An hour later, Bruce finally arrived at the hotel. Once Albert saw his son, he dragged him directly into the room.
“Dad, child abuse is against the law, calm down.” Bruce saw, smiling at the face are green Bruce Barrett.
“Brat, I ask you, I am not your father.” Albert gasped and glared at his son.
“I guess so, because we look so much alike, but if you want to do a paternity test, I’m fine with it.” Bruce still cheekily said.
“Who told me last time that mommy went on her honeymoon?” Albert really wanted to screw his son’s little white face.
“Oh, this – Dad, it’s a plot point. Think about it, if I didn’t say that, would you have come to New York in such a hurry?”
Albert just glared and asked again, “Then let me ask you, is your mommy married or not?”
In fact, this sentence Albert is to test his son, from the truth of this sentence, you can judge how much water there is in what his son said later.
“It seems to be no, but I don’t know if there is a secret marriage, you son is very open-minded and will not interfere with mommy’s.”
Albert not only did not get an answer, but also added another layer of worry.
“Then do you know a Tony.”
“Uncle Tony–” Bruce said and suddenly covered his mouth.
“What?” Albert trailed off with a start.
“I mean, Tony – that’s Mommy’s boyfriend.” Bruce looked at his dad’s expression and seemed to guess, so he explained. He was aware that Mummy often used Uncle Tony as a shield, and if his guess was right, he should have even met him, and since that was the case, he certainly couldn’t tear down Mummy’s stage.
“Is it really her boyfriend, fiance?” Even if he heard it with his own ears, Albert still didn’t quite believe it.
“Since mommy said so, I guess it is, but we really know each other well, we’ve lived together for as long as I can remember.” Bruce looked at his dad, thinking as he did so.
