After Divorce, She Married a Billionaire

I never expected that Eugene ‘s mother, Shirley , would suddenly come to my home.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

I don’t even know how she found out my home address, but thinking about it carefully, it’s not surprising that Eugene ‘s aunt followed me around to investigate me.

The moment I walked into the house facing the feather duster, a few scattered chicken feathers were stuck on my head. My dad shook his arms and said angrily: ” Candice ! Your mother and I really raised you in vain! We gave you I’m asking you to do these things that go against your conscience!”

Facing my father’s scolding, I didn’t know how to explain for a moment. My father was shaking with anger, and my mother kept trying to comfort him. Shirley stood behind my parents, quietly watching me being scolded.

My mother snatched the feather duster from my father’s hand and said anxiously, “Why don’t you just calm down and let Candice explain herself! She hasn’t said a word since she entered the room, and you just hit her! What if we misunderstood her?”

My dad panted, pointed at me and said, “Okay! Then explain to me clearly! Why are you with another man behind Dean’s back ! Now, his mother has come to me!” My dad slapped his thigh hard, ” Candice ! Are you going to piss me off to death!”

After hearing my father’s roar, I stood at the door, rubbing the corner of my clothes nervously. I didn’t know how to explain it. If I said clearly that Eugene and I were just playing around, Shirley would definitely be angry, and Eugene would definitely settle a big score with me.

If I told my dad that Eugene and I were getting together and that I was going to divorce Dean , he would have had a heart attack.

My father has a very bad heart. Two years ago, he almost needed heart surgery due to an accident, but he recovered well and survived.

Now , no matter what I say or how I explain, my dad will get angry, so the only thing I can do is to keep silent.

I walked into the house and closed the door. I lowered my head and stood in front of my father and said, “Dad, don’t be angry. Things are not what you think. Give me some time, okay? I will handle it. When I handle it, I will explain it to you clearly.”

My father grabbed his chest and leaned back slightly. My mother supported him from behind and then walked to the sofa little by little.

My dad leaned against the sofa cushions, breathing heavily.

On the side, Shirley took two steps towards my dad and spoke coldly, “I’m sorry, I didn’t expect your health to be so bad, but I have to come and talk to you personally about the two children. After all, this is not a trivial matter. Your daughter obviously has a family, but she seduced my son regardless of her personal reputation. This is not a glorious thing in terms of emotion and reason, not to mention that she has a child in her belly.”

Shirley took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily. “If I hadn’t been unable to persuade them, I wouldn’t have gone to such great lengths to come here. Since the two children can’t make a decision, let us, as parents, help make the decision.”

My dad didn’t say anything, probably because he was so angry that he was in a bad state.

My mother looked at my father in embarrassment, then looked at me, and then said to Shirley , “I’m sorry, Ms. Chen, we old couple really don’t know about the matter between my daughter and your son, but I think there must be some misunderstanding! I know Candice , although she is a little careless, but she is very kind-hearted and never does anything to embarrass others.”

“So, my daughter definitely didn’t seduce your son on purpose. No matter what, since things have come to this point, we as parents can’t just ignore it. Why don’t you go back today? I will explain everything to my daughter and won’t let her have any contact with your son anymore. But I hope you can do your best on your side.”

My mother said all this calmly, and Shirley did not do anything that crossed the line . In fact, Shirley is quite easy-going and well-educated, but when it comes to her feelings for Eugene , she has to be serious.

However, through her visit today, I finally understood why Eugene was so resistant to Shirley arranging a blind date for him.

It is really uncomfortable when one’s feelings are excessively interfered with by parents.

Shirley agreed to my mother’s proposal, turned around, and prepared to leave my house. I followed my mother to the door of the house. When I sent her out of the house, Shirley still sternly reminded me, ” Miss Jones , I hope you can respect yourself. I invited you to my house before because I didn’t know you were such a person. Now I know, so I will definitely not agree to what you do with my son. Of course, you don’t have to divorce your husband for my son. If you really do that, we at The Johnson will not welcome you. I hope you can deal with your relationship with my son as soon as possible, and we won’t meet again in the future.”

After that, she turned and walked downstairs. I stood at the door for a long time, facing the cool breeze in the corridor. Suddenly, my mother poked me from behind and said, “Aren’t you cold? Come in quickly!”

I walked into the house dejectedly, and my father glared at me fiercely on the sofa and scolded me harshly: “Explain it to me clearly! What’s going on!”

I rushed to my dad, lay on his lap, and pleaded, “Dad! There is really nothing going on between me and the aunt’s son! It was his son who asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend, but I didn’t expect that aunt would come to our house!” I rubbed my hands together and apologized, “So please don’t be angry, okay! It’s not what you think, really!”

I blinked pitifully at my dad. Fortunately, he wasn’t as angry as before. He frowned tightly, rolled his eyes at me, and said in a serious and non-serious tone: “Just now… I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

I pounded my dad’s thigh with a smile, “It doesn’t hurt! It’s just like a tickle!”

Seeing that my father was no longer angry, the guilt in my heart was finally relieved a little.

In fact, I am really scared. If my dad gets angry and has a heart attack, I will never forgive myself in my life.

I am an abandoned child, and I am grateful enough for being able to grow up in such a warm family.

My mother found two boxes of heart-soothing medicine from the drawer. She tore off the packaging and said, “Old man, you are just too impatient! You believe whatever others say! You don’t even know what your own daughter is like! When that woman came just now, I guessed that it must be her son who was pestering our Candice ! Our Candice is such an upright child, and she is pregnant now, so how could she have the energy to do anything else!”

My dad snorted in retort, “You’re an old lady, what do you know! It’s because she’s a child that she makes mistakes easily! I’m her father, I have to make her behave and correct her mistakes!”

My mother handed him the pills and the cup of water and said, “Alright, alright, whatever you say is right! But don’t hit my daughter again! She’s pregnant, don’t hurt her!”

Speaking of the baby in my belly, my mother looked at my belly with pity and said with relief: “That’s great. Before long, I will be a grandmother!” My mother smiled happily, “I don’t know when your brother will be able to return home so that I can have a chance to hold my grandson!”

Looking at my mother’s longing expression, for some reason, my heart ached.

I am so unfilial. If my mother finds out that I am not pregnant, will she be very sad? Will she blame me for deceiving her?

Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but start to hate Dean . If it weren’t for him, my life wouldn’t be as messed up as it is today.

At this moment, my father suddenly spoke righteously, “Before you came, Dean came to our house and brought a lot of supplements.”

I turned around and looked in the direction of my house. There was a lot of supplements for the elderly piled up on the wall at the entrance.

My dad continued, ” Dean said that he doesn’t want to do his current job anymore. He feels that he is too busy and doesn’t have time to take care of you. Besides, you are pregnant now, so someone must be around to take care of you.”

When I heard this, I immediately said, “Did he tell you this?”

My dad nodded and said, “This kid is quite thoughtful. He knows how to change jobs for you.”

For me? Haha, this damn Dean , he actually dared to use me to deceive my dad!

I retorted, “Dad! Dean ‘s work is not busy at all, just leave him alone and let him stay at CE Group .”

My dad glared at me fiercely, “What do you mean by not busy? If he wasn’t busy, would he let you have contact with other men? Although what happened just now is not true, it is wrong for a girl like you to have close contact with a man other than your husband!” My dad turned his head slightly, his expression serious, resolute and stubborn, “I have thought about this matter. I will change Dean’s job and let him go to our factory to do management. It happens that the company is not busy during this period, and he can accompany you to give birth!”

I was so surprised that I couldn’t believe it. “Dad! You can’t do this! You can’t let Dean go to our company!”

My dad stared at me in amazement. “Why not? Our logistics company is in need of management talent. Anyway, the company will be handed over to you and your brother in the future. Why can’t we let Dean go to the company to help out now?”

I can understand why my dad didn’t treat Dean as an outsider. I can also understand why my dad has always been optimistic about Dean . After all, in front of my dad, he always appears to be a high-spirited, daring, and good at flattery. Now that my dad is old and confused, he can be easily fooled by him.

But I know very well that the reason why Dean went to my family’s logistics company was simply to take advantage!

That logistics company is the result of more than ten years of hard work by my father. I can’t let it be ruined by Dean !

I rejected it outright, “Dad, Dean doesn’t have the talent in this area, and I don’t agree with your plan to let him go to the company to help. He can’t go to our company, no matter what you say!”

Suddenly, my dad’s temper flared up again, ” Candice ! Are you trying to piss me off to death? Who am I doing this for? I’m doing this for your own good! So that you can take good care of your pregnancy and let Dean take care of you! I’m letting Dean relax, isn’t it just so that he can spend more time with you!”

I couldn’t help but retort, “But he is not the kind of person you imagined! He…”

The words came to my lips, but I swallowed them back.

This feeling is so painful. I can obviously expose Dean , but I can’t. If I tell my dad about the bad things Dean did to me, my dad won’t be able to bear it. He will definitely go crazy.

I swallowed my throat, turned to my dad and said, “Dad, this time you just listen to me about the work. Don’t let him go to our company for now. Wait until I have communicated with him…”

Before he could finish his words, my dad’s face flushed red. “You were fired by the training company, and you still want me to listen to you! Candice , you are so immature, how can we as parents not worry about you!” My dad panted heavily, “If you don’t listen to me on this matter, I will treat you as if I don’t have a daughter! These twenty years, it will be like we raised you in vain!”

After my father said these angry words, he propped himself up and was about to go back to the bedroom. I stood up and pulled his arm, but he pushed me aside.

I didn’t stand firmly and fell to the ground. I looked up with grievance, and my father’s eyes flashed with heartache for a second or two. Then, he continued to yell at me aggressively: “You are going to be a mother! Do you want to let yourself become as irresponsible as your biological parents!”

As soon as the roar ended, everyone in the room was completely silent. I knew my father didn’t mean what he said, but when he mentioned my biological father and mother, the taut string in my heart broke with a “bang”.

I couldn’t help but shed tears, and I didn’t know whether it was because of the pain from the fall or because I felt sad.

My mother pulled my father tightly and whispered, “Are you sick? Why are you talking about those nonsense?”

At this moment, the sound of a key opening the door behind me suddenly came.

With a click, the door opened and a figure jumped in, along with a rather excited greeting, “Surprise!”
