Eugene thought that what the old master had said was funny. “Grandfather, what do you mean that I’m under their control?” The old master huffed coldly and said, “I asked you to keep your distance from that woman, but you refused to listen to me and even spent the night at her place. Are you purposely doing this to show me or have you forgotten that you’re a married man?” Eugene narrowed his eyes and asked, “How do you know where I spent the night? Did you hire people to spy on me?” The old master’s expression darkened as he slammed his hand on the table and shouted, “That’s ridiculous! Do I still need to do something like that at such an elderly age? I may not know your whereabouts, but the person sleeping next to you every day should know, right?” The person sleeping next to him every day? Eugene frowned and thought about it. He asked coldly, “Are you referring to Sydney?” The old master still had a rigid expression on his face. “Who else would I be talking about?” H
Sydney started panicking. This was an unpredicted turn of events!Eugene stared straight at her and questioned, “You said that I’m unwilling to go back home because you did something wrong. Did you tell my grandfather what you did wrong?” Sydney’s heart thumped loudly. “I…” She clasped her hands together, suddenly finding it hard to say anything. Eugene fixed his sharp and piercing gaze on her, continuing to question her in a forceful manner. “Why didn’t you tell my grandfather that I spent the night at Fern’s place to accompany Rue? The child’s mental state is in shambles right now. That’s because she’s suffering from psychological trauma after what you and your mother did to her!” Sydney’s heart lurched as her body swayed. She almost lost her balance. She took two steps back. The old master frowned after hearing what Eugene said. He asked them sternly, “What happened to Rue? How did she get hurt?” Sydney’s face paled as she rushed over to grab Eugene’s hand. She spoke t
The old master was rather stubborn on this matter. He wanted Rue to stay with him. Eugene carried Rue in his arms and turned around to look at his grandfather. “Thank you for your good intentions, Grandfather. However, Rue won’t be able to get used to living with you. Besides, she needs me and Fernie right now,” he said politely. “Daddy, I don’t want to stay here,” Rue said softly as she hugged him tightly. “Yes, I’ll bring you away now.” Eugene turned around to leave. The old master spoke up again, “Wait.” He stared at Eugene coldly and asked, “Are you still going to send her back to that woman’s place? Do you think you can use Rue as an excuse to rekindle your relationship with her?” Eugene did not expect the old master to speak in such a straightforward manner. He frowned and was just about to say something when Rue spoke loudly, “Daddy and Mommy have always had feelings for each other. They’ll get back together sooner or later.” Sydney could no longer suppress her
After making the announcement, he ignored the expression on the old master’s face and just how angry he was at him. He carried his daughter and left. Sydney started to panic when she saw him leaving. “Grandfather…” Was the old master unable to control him as well? The old master felt annoyed when he saw her. He shouted angrily, “Why are you still here? Scram!” Sydney’s heart lurched. She did not dare to say anything else. She ran out after Eugene in a hurry. Eugene let Rue get into the car outside. He was just about to get in as well when Sydney ran over. “Wait, Eugene!” He stood beside the car and looked at her with a cold expression on his face. “Eugene, are you really going divorce me?” she asked in a shaky voice. There was an impassive expression on Eugene’s face. He spoke to her in an even tone, “I’ll discuss this with you.” It meant that he was really going to divorce her. As he turned around to get in the car, Sydney grabbed his hand. She glared at him i
Fern quickly finished preparing a few dishes. Three of them then sat down at the dining table. “Mommy, I haven’t eaten the dishes that you prepared ever since Uncle Asher started coming over to cook for us.” Rue still preferred the dishes her mother prepared. After all, she had grown up eating her mother’s dishes. “Does this mean that you’d like to eat the dishes that I prepare?” Fern asked with a smile. Rue nodded at once. “Yes!” After speaking, she looked at Eugene and asked, “Daddy, you haven’t eaten the dishes prepared by Mommy in a long time too, right? Do you like the dishes prepared by her?” Fern looked at Eugene instinctively. At the same time, he raised his head to meet her gaze. Somehow, her heart started racing. Before he could say anything, she said, “How could the dishes that I prepare compare to Sydney’s? Of course, he’d be more accustomed to the dishes she cooks.” Rue felt slightly disgruntled. She asked Eugene, “Daddy, do you prefer the dishes prepared
“What were you thinking about?” Eugene walked over to her side. “... It’s nothing.” She lowered her head and continued doing the dishes as a hint of nervousness flashed across her face. Of course, she could not let him know what was in her mind. Eugene stared at her side profile as a smirk formed on his lips. “I’m getting divorced.” Fern looked at him in confusion. “I know that.” Why did he have to repeat that once again? He fixed his dark gaze on her as his tall build slowly approached her. He inched his handsome face toward her and asked, “Isn’t there anything that you want to tell me?” She tilted her head back as her breathing grew slightly heavier. He was so close to her that she could feel his breath on her face. She laughed dryly. “You can divorce her if you want to. What does it have to do with me? What do you want me to say?” She was not the one who had asked him to get a divorce. Eugene narrowed his almond-shaped eyes and questioned, “After I’m divorced, do
“Asher, don’t be like this…” Fern sighed and said, “I’m not your girlfriend. I lied to Eugene previously. I’ve already explained this to you before.” She had no reason to continue using this as an excuse to lie to Eugene. Asher’s pupils constricted as he stared at her in disbelief. “You…” Eugene smirked sarcastically and extended his long arm to pull Fern back to his side. He then looked at Asher and said, “Stop acting. She has spoken the truth.” He seemed to have known about everything this whole time. Asher looked at Eugene’s victorious stance. He found it hard to swallow down the unwillingness within him. He grabbed Fern’s other hand and tried to pull her to his side. “Fernie, you know that he’s a married man. Why do you still want to get involved with him?” Asher asked as he tried to suppress his anger. Before Fern could say anything, Eugene spoke up, “You don’t have to worry about that. I’m getting divorced soon.” “You’re getting a divorce?” Asher looked at him
She turned around to look at him. When she met his deep and sharp gaze, she felt like she had become his prey. Asher laughed mockingly and said, “President Eugene, you’d better stop having one-sided feelings for her. Fernie has said that her feelings for you are all in the past, so she won’t get back together with you. You shouldn’t get a divorce as well.” Eugene glanced at him coldly and said in a lukewarm tone, “This is between me and her. Since when did an outsider like you have the right to interfere in our matters?” Asher was disgruntled by his rebuttal. He really felt like punching Eugene! Fern looked at the two arrogant men. She wanted to kick both of them out!…Sydney thought that Eugene brought up the topic of divorce with her because of a moment of rage. She did not expect him to be serious about it. Eugene got Wyatt to prepare a divorce agreement. He had not gone home in many days, but he returned home today just so that he could ask her to sign the agreemen
