Chapter 915 Learn about the Past
Julien would like to seize the chance to learn more about his parents who he knew little about. The Old Madam lowered her head and drank tea calmly.
Felicia stood behind the Old Madam and continued to tell Julien the whole story of his parents.
"When your father was eleven years old, he avoided all the security guards of the Flint family, got rid of his bodyguards and went to Jackal City secretly. The whole Flint family was shocked by his leave. We thought that he had been kidnaped. Your grandparents almost fainted. Other servants and I were extremely anxious. We spent three days looking for him but failed. We didn't know where he was. After all, science and technology were underdeveloped at that time. Although the Flint family was not simple, it was still difficult for us to find him. When we thought that your father had been kidnaped and became desperate, your father suddenly came back. He was…"
"How was he?" Julien narrowed his eyes.
Felicia sighed, "He came back in low spirits. When he saw us, he cried and said that your mother, Izzy, had forgotten him and had a new friend. Her new friend was Dallin."
Hearing that, Julien guessed the following story. He compressed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Had my father never gone to look for my mother since then?"
"You're right." Felicia nodded. "When your mother was twenty years old, the Harrow family suddenly came to the Flint family and said that they would like to have a marriage alliance with the Flint family. To be exact, the Harrow family wanted to get help from the Flint family. At that time, the Harrow family had started to decline. Your grandparents disagreed, but your father heard it by chance and agreed without hesitation. Then the engagement of your parents was fixed." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"Then did you know my mother's relationship with Dallin?" Julien frowned.
The Old Madam said angrily, "Of course, we didn't know that. Even the Harrow family didn't know that, let alone our Flint family. Your mother had been with Dallin secretly and hadn't told anyone else. If we knew that, we wouldn't allow your father to be engaged with your mother, even though your father was willing to do so."
'She had a boyfriend. If my son still got engaged with her, what kind of person would my son be?
'He would be the other man!
'I was proud all the time. How could I allow my son to be the other man?
'However, the gods send nuts to those who have no teeth.
'I thought that my son was finally with the girl who he liked since he was a kid. Unexpectedly, the girl had been with another boy already.
'My son still became the other man by chance.
'My heart ached for him!'
"Then when did you know the truth?" Julien frowned more tightly.
The Old Madam was still very angry. "A month before their wedding, your mother was reluctant to marry your father suddenly. She was so anxious that she spilled the beans that she had been with Dallin. At that time, your father and I went to the Harrow family to send things. When we arrived at the door, we heard that by accident. Your father was dumbfounded, and his face turned pale. I was furious and wanted to get even with the Harrow family. I wanted to ask them why they hid it from us. They didn't tell us that before the engagement. What was worse, when the wedding was about to be held, they still didn't tell us that face to face. However, your father stopped me before I walked in. Your father sadly asked me to let it go and begged me to leave."
The Old Madam wiped the corners of her eyes. "I was angry with the Harrow family, but I was more worried about my son. Thus, I didn't walk in finally and returned to Port City with your father. After we returned home, I asked your father what he planned to do. He didn't reply and locked himself in his room for three days. On the third day, he walked out of his room and looked drawn. In a hoarse voice, he told me that he would call off the engagement. Your grandfather and I agreed. The next day, we went to Jackal City to call off the engagement, but the Harrow family disagreed. Your mother also disagreed."
"Disagreed?" Julien narrowed his eyes and felt confused.
'Didn't she love Dallin so much?
'She had the chance not to marry my father. Why didn't she seize the chance?
'Why did she disagree?'
"You heard it right. She disagreed." The Old Madam nodded. "The Harrow family actively said that they would like to have a marriage alliance with us, so it was understandable that they disagreed. It was surprising that your mother also disagreed. Soon, we figured it out. It was because the Harrow family needed the Flint family's help. Although I disliked the Harrow family, I would still help the Harrow family after we called off the engagement because your father liked your mother. I believed that your father would have the same thoughts as me. Thus, I explicitly told the Harrow family my thoughts and asked your mother if she agreed to call off the engagement."
"My mother still disagreed." Julien guessed the result immediately.
'If my mother disagreed, my parents wouldn't have married.'
The Old Madam sighed, "You're right. Even though I explicitly said that we would help the Harrow family without the engagement, the Harrow family and your mother still disagreed. They thought that
it wasn't reliable if your parents didn't get married. Besides, your father was a hopeless romantic. He was willing to do anything for your mother and Velma. As soon as he heard that your mother disagreed to call off the engagement and had broken up with Dallin, he changed his mind and was willing to continue the engagement. I was so angry that I even had the impulse to beat him up. However, as his mother, I failed to persuade him and finally agreed. Then I talked with your mother."
"What did you say to her?" Julien looked at the Old Madam.
The Old Madam waved her hand. "Nothing special. I knew that your mother loved Dallin. I told her that she had better forget Dallin as soon as possible and be my good daughter-in-law and your father's good wife now that she was willing to marry your father. If so, the Flint family would treat her well. After all, it was her choice. We had given her the chance to choose, and she chose your father finally. Now that she chose your father, she shouldn't regret it and needed to remember her mission all the time."
"But my mother broke her promise." Julien sneered. "She had never forgotten Dallin."
"You're right. She promised me that she would forget Dallin and be your father's good wife, but she broke her promise. She didn't forget Dallin and was aloof to your father. Although your father felt sad, he was willing to fulfill her."
The Old Madam felt angry and knocked the ground with her cane with a loud sound.
"I was angry that your mother treated my son like that. Now that she married your father, she was my daughter-in-law and your father's wife, but she still couldn't forget Dallin. Where was your father's position in her heart? Did she dislike your father like that?" The Old Madam felt annoyed and beat her breast.
"All the time, I had seen how your mother treated your father. However, it was their own business. As their elder, I couldn't interfere in it. When I saw it, I always pretended not to see it, but I gradually
felt disgruntled after I saw it many times."
