Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 389

Heather and Annalise went to the room to change.

After they got changed, it gave the occasion an almost festive air.

Annalise looked at herself and her mother in the mirror.

A smile touched the corners of Annalise’s mouth as she said, “It’s so beautiful, Mom.

We look just like sisters.” Heather also said with a smile, “Not at all.

You’re so young.

Mom is already old.” In this life, Heather could still reunite with her family.

She really did not mind that she was old or unattractive.

“Not old.

Mom is also very young.” Annalise was all smiles, but she had a queer sense of sorrow.

If her mother hadn’t been through so much, Annalise thought, she would be much younger than she was now.

It didn’t matter.

Annalise would nurse her mother’s heath with great care.

Feeling a heat run through her, Annalise looked at her mother and asked pettishly, “Mommy, are you feeling hot?” “A little,” Heather said with a smile.

“Then I’ll go and turn the temperature of the ground heating down.

This way, we won’t feel cold when we go out to set off fireworks when it’s dark.

We’ll turn the temperature on when we sleep.” Annalise was so happy that she even walked on air.

She was now a girl with parents, she skipped and danced along to adjust the temperature of the ground heating Julian and Old Mr. Parks also changed into new clothes.

As soon as they came out of the room, Annalise couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing them.

This man’s cotton shirt was fine on Old Mr. Parks, but it was really funny on Julian.

Trevor also changed and came out.

“Haha!” Annalise burst out laughing.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were good-looking, they would look so ugly and old-fashioned in the sweater.

However, since it was Christmas, the mood instantly became festive after they all got changed.

After a while, Car horns toot came from outside.

The servant went to open the door and saw Sybil supporting Old Mr. Xander.

“Dad, what brings you here?” Lee was a little surprised.

Old Mr. Xander said, “It was too quiet at home.

I want to come over and spend time with you guys” It had been a tough year for the family with Naney and Yechiel passing away one after another.

Old Mr. Xander, as an elder, felt wretched about it.

However, it was also a fruitful year.

Lee recovered after years of being bedridden.

Moreover, he found Annalise and Kaylan.

No matter what, those who were alive shall live well and make their days count.

Old Mr. Xander hoped that after the new year, everything would be better.

“Lee,” Sybil called out with a smile.

Sybil then looked at Heather and asked Lee with a smile, “Is this Heather?” Lee nodded.

“Yes.” “Hello, Heather,” Sybil immediately greeted her.

“Hello.” Heather nodded politely.

Heather had a feeling that Old Mr. Xander was looking at her with hostility.

She still called out, “Good to see you, Old Mr. Xander!” “Um,” Old Mr. Xander hummed in response.

The thought that Heather insisted on leaving regardless of his persuasion made Old Mr. Xander a little uncomfortable.

After all these years, he did not know what she had experienced or why she had come back to life.

Or had she been looking for Lee? Old Mr. Xander wanted to get to the bottom of it.

But he was afraid.

He was afraid that he found out that Heather was forced to leave because of being schemed against by Yechiel and Lily just as he had thought if he investigated further.

He was afraid that he found out that Yechiel and Lily died at the hands of Lee if he investigated further.

Old Mr. Xander had always thought highly of Lee.

Therefore, even though Lee was his second son, he still handed the family business to Lee to manage.

It was only after Lee had been bedridden due to his poor health that Xander Group was handed over to Yechiel to take care of.

Old Mr. Xander did not dare to delve too deeply into the series of changes this year.

“Grandpa, please take a seat,” Annalise greeted.

Since they were already here, they could celebrate together.

Annalise hoped that everyone could be happy and not make anyone feel uncomfortable.

“Okay, okay.” Old Mr. Xander quickly retracted his thoughts and sat down on the sofa.

Seeing that everyone was wearing festive clothes, Sybil was envious.

“Anna, where did you buy these clothes? I want them too.” Julian said, “I’ll get Mark to send them over now.” Sybil quickly waved her hands and said, “No, no, no.

There’s no need.

It’s going to snow soon.” Heather was a busy person and went to the kitchen to help.

Lee thought that Heather might be self-conscious seeing his father coming over, so he went to the kitchen to help.

However, their presence in the kitchen frightened the servants.

The two servants panicked.

“Mrs. Xander, you don’t need to help us actually.

You might mess up your hands and clothes.” “Mr. Xander, you don’t have to help.

We will eat on time.” “I’ll help pick up the onions and garlic,” said Heather.

“Mrs. Xander, thanks, but we can take care of everything here.

You don’t need to keep yourself busy,” the two servants said anxiously.

“Let’s go pick up the eggs,” Lee said.

As a middle-aged couple, they were still the same as 20 years ago.

Their mentality had also become younger as they reunited.

Lee led Heather through the living room.

Old Mr. Xander looked at them hand in hand and suddenly saw light.

Lee was such a proud man.

If Heather had really left because he was sick or because she liked someone else, how could Lee have accepted her? “Dad, what’s wrong?” Sybil asked when he saw Old Mr. Xander crying.

Old Mr. Xander wiped his tears and said, “I’m just happy to see that Lee and his family are finally reunited.” All his suspicions had been confirmed.

He had failed in his education! Everyone could have been living well with such a huge family business in the Xander family, yet Yechiel still schemed against Lee for benefits.

Back then, Old Mr. Xander was most afraid that his three sons would fight against each other.

Therefore, he didn’t push Yechiel to study since he disliked studying; he fostered Lee’s ability in business since he was interested in it; he was supportive of Stuart doing scientific research, even though he went overseas to do scientific research.

Unexpectedly, they still ended up fighting against each other.

At that time, Old Mr. Xander felt something fishy when Yechiel and Lily died.

In this era, how could someone be found in adultery in the basement? Even if there was, how could they die of carbon monoxide poisoning? Seeing how close Lee and Heather were today, Old Mr. Xander instantly become enlightened.

Back then, Heather was forced away by Yechiel.

Also, not long after Yechiel and Lily died, Lee acknowledged Kalyan.

According to Sybil, Kalyan suffered a lot outside.

He was slashed, and his face was unrecognizable.

A large of his face was treated with skin grafts, so he didn’t look like Lee.

It wasn’t until he met Julian that he was doing better.

It was also because of this that Lee attacked Yechiel, right? “Dad, Lee’s suffering has come to an end.

It’s a good thing,” Sybil said.

“Yes, he’s come a long way,” Old Mr. Xander said with emotion.

Let bygones be bygones.

He would just convince him that Yechiel and Lily died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

He regarded it as water under the bridge.

“After we eat, we’ll go back to the Xander residence.

I don’t wanna take Lee and Heather too much time.

Also, I don’t wanna your sister-in-law and Kristen feel neglected,” Old Mr. Xander said.

“Yeah.” Sybil agreed, feeling that this arrangement was more sensible.
