Chapter 1053 Waiting is torturous
What a deep mind.
What does Benjamin really want?
But now there is obviously no time to think about this, are rivals, the Edgar’s do not have to be better than Benjamin to deal with.
Dennis turned out to be extremely calm, his eyes leveled right in front of him, holding my hand in his, his eyes slightly narrowed, “It’s the same who clean up first, just thank Benjamin for making the choice for me.”
…
Probably no one expected that the reunion after six years would be such a scene.
When I arrived at the Vance family, I saw the elders sitting around the sofa, having a good time.
Although I had already met in the video, seeing me alive in front of my eyes, Luna was still a bit moved and couldn’t help but get up and come over, but Samuel next to her pulled back, so she didn’t stage the reunion scene.
Dennis led me over to him with a humble attitude, “Mom and Dad, Uncle Link.”
The “Mom and Dad” are Luna and Samuel, ignoring Edgar and Angelica next to them.
I thought it would cause some confusion, but unexpectedly, Edgar was actually good-natured enough not to count on it, instead, he greeted us in a good mood and sat down, “It’s good to be back, dinner will be ready soon, sit down for a while first.”
“Where are the kids, didn’t they come?” Angelica saw that Snowy and Jamie were not there and kept craning her neck to look at the door.
I was trying to find something to say, but Dennis spoke up first, “There’s no need to involve children in adult matters.”
This is clearly to open up the sky to say the truth.
It is also true that the last time Dennis brought me back, it has been a showdown with Edgar, this time each other in peace, but is afraid of his hands to keep the research staff.
The rapport before coming was faked, and after Dennis’ words were spoken, the atmosphere naturally became stagnant.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
We were the guests, and it was Edgar who was embarrassed as the host.
However, he carried out his good temper to the end and smiled instead of anger, “The in-laws came back suddenly, and you have many children there, so I’m afraid you can’t stay there, so let’s make do with it at home tonight.”
“No need.” Dennis refused outright, “Kimdock’s presidential suite is permanently reserved for me, so entertaining the elders won’t be a problem.”
Edgar contemptuously hooked his lips, eyebrows slightly lowered, not to put Dennis in the eyes of the attitude is obvious.
A few moments later, taking the posture of an elder, he said in a condescending manner, “Young is young, the children are so old, do not even know such a simple truth as caring for your elders? The journey from Country M is more than ten hours, you have to watch them toss and turn? Besides, … The first thing you need to do is to get in touch with your daughter-in-law’s family.
“What if I’m not allowed?” Dennis’ tone took on an air of danger.
“That is naturally as you wish.” Edgar hands spread, calmly said, “as long as you can take people out of here, what can I say, but I have to remind you, our family elders, but are older, in case there is any bump when going out, do not blame the father did not warn!”
I was so disgusted with this hypocritical face, “Do you still want to forcefully hold people down!”
The great Hungas is not a place where one person can act alone.
Edgar side-eye to me, the eyes are still indifferent clouds, “you are Dennis’s wife, very should call me a father, is the Kennedy family and The Lewis family so profound family education, but failed to teach you manners? Or is it that after six years of sleeping around, you’ve already lost sight of us elders and this family, Clara!”
Without any particular explanation, I could clearly feel that Edgar was aware of my identity.
Dennis went to great lengths to make the Vance think that I was Sue, a substitute, but now it’s still a lost cause.
Those two words were enough to warn me.
It was because he was sure I was Clara that he had his sights set on Link and others – they were the best, threatening bargaining chips for me and Dennis.
The only redeeming factor is that Edgar’s target is not three children.
At this point the atmosphere in the living room is on the verge of a fire, as if casually adding another fire, is to disregard the decency of bad language.
Good thing the butler came over, “Master, Madam, it’s time to eat.”
That’s what defused a crisis.
Ultimately, each of them had their own agenda and did a table with the fire suppressed.
The meal was extraordinarily depressing, and Dennis and I didn’t speak throughout.
As for Luna and the others, they had already agreed that if they encountered Benjamin’s people forcibly taking them away, they did not have to resist, and now they are replaced by Edgar naturally.
Edgar and his wife are superficially doing a good job, one after another, they are all from the business world, Luna and Samuel naturally will not be shy, and they are responding smoothly.
Finally it was time to part, and Luna took me by the hand and stood by the roadside, making the planned scene of long-windedness and reluctance.
Before getting into the car, Dennis also did not forget to coldly warn Edgar, “I hope you do what you say and treat Clara’s relatives well, otherwise, I will let the entire George Group, as a funeral.”
When we came, it was just the three of us, and when we went back, it was still the same.
Although it was Dennis’ plan, the anxious feeling spread uncontrollably as I watched Link and their figures get smaller from afar.
Probably sensing my nervousness, Dennis reached out and swept me into his arms, giving a reassurance pill, “I promise, Mom, Dad, Uncle Link, none of them will get hurt.”
Dennis is a man of promise and will never make a promise easily if he is not sure of something, with his words, all the worries in my heart were removed.
“Don’t be in a hurry,” Leo from the front seat interjected not too early, meaningfully, “we are sleepless tonight.”
This sentence just finished, outside the night sky will thunder out of a lightning, the branches of the trees on both sides of the road like being shaken hard, swaying wildly from side to side, soon, the rumble of thunder rang through the clouds, the next storm is enough to imagine.
As Leo said, it was destined to be a remarkable night.
When I got home, after washing up and taking care of the kids in bed, I put on my coat and went downstairs.
Leo and Dennis were both guarding the hall, one sitting on the sofa with his chin propped up, the other standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to me, the blinding light of the lightning shining in, pulling Dennis’ shadow long and lonely.
This atmosphere, there should be no news yet.
Waiting is often the most torturous.
If all goes well, Dennis’ men will find the secret address where Edgar is hiding tonight and break it up in one fell swoop.
If it doesn’t go well, nights like this will become the norm in the future.
