Wilson sat in the car with a sullen face, and chaos filled his eyes for a moment. He was confused and didn't know whether he should listen to Theodore or not.
The smile on Theodore's face faded as he walked down the stairs.
He said that on purpose, as he knew that Wilson was uncertain. That's why he came to look for him.
He gave him an uncertain answer so that there would be enough time for him to do his affairs. As for the story, Xavier could do whatever that he wanted.
The sky gradually darkened, but the dark clouds in the sky were still there, just like Wilson's heart at that moment.
It was so annoying.
When he returned home, Hansen was watching cartoons on the sofa, with a childlike smile on his face. However, as soon as he noticed Wilson, he couldn't smile at all.
"Dad," Hansen called him.
"Yes," Wilson responded and sat on the sofa.
Yvonne and Loraine came out of the kitchen with dishes. When they saw Wilson sitting on the sofa, the both of them were surprised.
He hadn't come back home to stay overnight for a long time.
"Dad, when did you come back?" Loraine walked over and asked.
"I just got home. Can we eat now?" Wilson spoke as he pulled his tie away, looking quite unhappy.
Yvonne felt even more uncomfortable looking at him. Every time he came back, she put on an indifferent expression, wondering who had upset him.
Loraine and Hansen sat in their seats and ate quietly. Other than the sound of tableware, there were no other sounds that could be heard.
Yvonne asked, "You went to Godfrey Group."
"What's wrong? Can't I pass by there?" Wilson replied without even raising his head.
"Really? Your company is not there. What's the matter?" She did not intend to let him go.
She had been furious after being insulted by Xavier and Theodore that day. This time, she had to let Hansen and Loraine enter the Godfrey family tree.
On the other hand, Wilson sensed that she had another intention, "What do you want to say?"
"When will you put Hansen and Loraine's name in the family tree? Now that Madam Scott has passed away, doesn't that make you the head of the Godfrey family? Can't you speak up?" Yvonne was not reconciled to muddle along.
She would do anything to get rid of their bad reputation as illegitimate children.
Loraine and Hansen knew that they would definitely start arguing judging from the situation. She told Hansen, "I'm full now. Didn't you say that you were having trouble with your homework? I'll teach you."
He also wanted to leave as quickly as possible. They held hands and retreated.
After Yvonne and Wilson watched them leave, the both of them became more unscrupulous.
"Well, now that the children are gone, what exactly are you trying to say?" Wilson asked.
"I'm no longer part of the Godfrey family, yet you want me to put their names into the family tree. Sure, Madam Scott has passed away, but isn't Theodore the one actually in charge of the Godfrey family?" He pointed out unhappily.
He bristled with anger at the mention of Theodore.
Yvonne's eyes widened, "So you're saying that you don't want to care, don't you?" "What do you want me to do? Even you are in charge of Godfrey Group. What does any of this have to do with me?" He replied.
She listened to his words quietly. Her eyes were full of sadness and she spoke slowly in a choked voice, "Wilson, I never cared about your identity all these years, let alone your money. I just want to leave my children something they deserve. Why do you always turn a blind eye? It's true that Theodore and Xavier are your children, but aren't Loraine and Hansen yours too?"
He clenched his jaw, and his gaze was filled with coldness.
"Loraine."
"Aunt Everleigh, are you free now? I want to meet with you," Loraine told her.
Everleigh heard her disappointed voice and frowned, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
"No, Aunt Everleigh, I just want to have a chat," she responded.
"Okay, I'm at the hospital. Why don't you come over." After hanging up the phone, Everleigh's gaze lit up.
They met in the garden of the hospital. Loraine's eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that she didn't sleep all night.
"Loraine, aren't you supposed to be at the company today? Why did you have time to come and chat with me?" Everleigh gave her a glass of lemonade.
Loraine took the glass and took a sip. She furrowed her brows and remarked, "It's so sour. I don't like to drink anything sour."
"Try and drink some. I can tell you hadn't slept all night. This will be good for you," Everleigh persuaded.
Loraine hesitated for a moment before she took another sip.
"Auntie Everleigh, did your parents always quarrel when you were young?" Loraine asked softly while lowering her head.
Everleigh knitted her brows and answered, "My mother had passed away when I was young. My father raised me on his own, so I have never been involved in family disputes."
Loraine was astonished. "Aunt Everleigh, you're from a single-parent family?" She quickly covered her mouth as soon as she realized she had spoken too straightforwardly.
Everleigh didn't mind. She chuckled, "Yeah, that's why I envy you. After all, your parents love you very much. It may not look like it, but it's also a kind of happiness when they quarrel with each other."
Loraine puckered her lip and mentioned, "I don't think so. It's very scary when they quarrel with each other."
