Chapter 467: He is Also an Ordinary Man
She gently closed the washroom door, afraid of waking Sylvan Cheney.
“What are you to Sylvan? I’m not fond of dealing with young girls. Give the phone to Sylvan, I have sothing to say to him.”
Teagan Cheney clearly didn’t like this young girl much.
His tone was very dissatisfied.
“I’ve told you, he’s not awake yet. Whatever you have to say, tell first, and I’ll relay the ssage to him.”
“What can be said to you? Tell him that I am waiting for him at the Elephant Café and let him co to see after he wakes up. It’s about his mother.”
Having said that, Teagan Cheney hung up the phone.
Jasmine Yale didn’t know what to do.
She felt that Sylvan Cheney didn’t want to see his father.
She called Charles Mcintosh and explained everything to him.
On the other end, Charles paused for a mont.
“Miss Yale, do you understand the relationship between Mr. Cheney and Teagan Cheney?”
Jasmine shook her head: “I don’t know. Mr. Cheney has never told , and perhaps… I don’t really want to know.”
“Let tell you.” Charles sighed, “Whether you want to hear it or not, Mr. Cheney isn’t as invincible as you think. In the world of love, he’s just an ordinary man.”
Jasmine was startled.
Charles slowly spoke of things in the past.
He thought, Jasmine had a right to know.
Jasmine listened quietly to Charles, without interrupting.
As it turned out, the love between Sylvan Cheney’s father and mother was not genuine.
Qiana Childe was defiant and sowhat domineering, she fell in love with Teagan Cheney and pursued him relentlessly.
Her father, Spencer Childe, consistently disagreed with their union, always saying that Teagan was unreliable.
However, unable to control his daughter’s affection, he turned a blind eye.
Qiana pursued Teagan, who neither outright rejected her nor fully accepted her.
Only when Qiana inherited a large fortune from Spencer Childe –
Teagan finally saw an opportunity, accepted Qiana’s declaration of love, and married her.
Qiana was naive, thinking that she had finally moved Teagan with her love.
She deeply loved Teagan Cheney, to the point of losing herself in love, willing to give him everything she had.
This love was passionate.
But no matter how shrewd Teagan was, he could not outwit Spencer Childe.
That fortune, although given to Qiana, was still under Spencer’s na.
Frustrated and unable to obtain it, Teagan took away the stocks, jewels, and money in Qiana’s hands and went to the US.
With his astuteness, Teagan quickly prospered in the US.
He established his own company, and enjoyed much success for a ti.
From then on, Teagan abandoned his family and never returned ho.
He started a new family in the US. Only when Qiana drowned herself did he return to give her a final farewell.
As she listened to Charles recounting those past events, Jasmine Yale’s heart stirred.
Like ripples spreading across water.
So it turns out…
There were so many intricacies she didn’t know about.
She knew nothing at all.
Sylvan Cheney had never told her anything, anything at all.
Charles was calm as he spoke, as if narrating a distant tale.
But Jasmine’s heart was anything but calm.
She knew all too well the pain of a broken family.
Unlike Sylvan, she is one to shed tears.
She would cry when she felt upset.
But he remained exceedingly silent and strong.
So strong that he could stand his ground in Landon, wielding more power and influence than most.
He endured more than most, didn’t he?
However, even the strongest man has a breaking point.
It stays untriggered until it does, tearing everything apart.
