Ending the call, Evander Lancaster walked up to Sophia Hamilton, lifted his hand to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear, and rubbed the top of her head, "Sothing happened at ho, I have to go back, you go up yourself,"
"Hmph!" Sophia Hamilton deliberately pretended to be displeased and snorted, turning to push open the unit door, when Evander Lancaster’s voice sounded again behind her.
"Play less on your phone, get so rest, and take good care of our son."
"As if!" Sophia Hamilton turned back again and wrinkled her nose, watching her most recent entry into the unit door, Evander Lancaster’s smile fading from his lips as he turned and quickly walked to his Audi, opened the driver’s door, and sat inside, his handso face becoming serious.
If he didn’t hear wrong, he heard the sound of arguing and crying on the phone... It must be the Lancaster Family’s side branches causing trouble for his mother, so his mother was in a hurry to ask him to go back.
Lancaster Family, Violet Zimrman’s residence, second uncle’s household, including Gabriel Lancaster’s family of three, were also here.
As the family head lady, Violet Zimrman, though so peers did not regard her highly, her identity was indeed established; any family matters must seek her, the family head lady, to preside over.
Sitting in the single-seat sofa, in front of her, Gabriel Lancaster’s wife, Catherine Taylor, knelt at her feet, while daughter Willow Lancaster also knelt beside her mother, head down and constantly wiping tears.
"... Sister-in-law, I beg you to persuade Gabriel, I don’t want a divorce, I know I was wrong..."
Catherine Taylor clutched Violet Zimrman’s legs, crying and pleading; she was Gabriel Lancaster’s second wife, his first wife couldn’t bear children, later he t her outside. Back then, she was made legitimate because she was pregnant with Willow Lancaster, and she was just twenty when she married Gabriel Lancaster.
Violet Zimrman sighed, glancing at the younger uncle in the other sofa, though she was the family head lady, it was different now than in the past, especially regarding marital matters, as the elder sister-in-law it wasn’t appropriate to intervene too much.
However, seeing Catherine Taylor’s bitter plea, she still spoke, though it was an attempt at reconciliation, her tone still carried the authority of a family head lady, "Gabriel, is there truly no way to smooth things over?"
"Hmph!" Gabriel Lancaster coldly snorted, turning his face aside.
Having married Catherine Taylor for over twenty years, they only had Willow Lancaster as their darling daughter, cherished in his palm, yet ultimately they had raised soone else’s daughter for over twenty years. If it hadn’t been for accidentally overhearing a blackmail call from that adulterer, he would still be kept in the dark!
Being deceived by Catherine Taylor for so many years, how could he possibly forgive!
Seeing Gabriel Lancaster’s firm stance, Violet Zimrman mouth moved as if to speak but stopped.
In the hall, aside from several elders, among the younger generation was only Robert Lancaster, now leaning sideways on the armrest of the sofa where his second uncle sat, eyes lowered, fiddling with his fingers.
If he wasn’t worried his mother couldn’t handle it, he wouldn’t be involved in such matters.
Joseph Lancaster placed the teacup in his hand on the tea table in front, nonchalantly saying, "Sister-in-law, it won’t help to ask the elder sister, the elder sister isn’t the third brother, the bell has to be unrung by the person who rang it."
Joseph Lancaster’s words provided a wake-up call.
Catherine Taylor knelt and moved up to Gabriel Lancaster, clasping his legs and crying sadly, "Husband... please forgive , since being with you, I haven’t done anything to wrong you..."
"Nothing? What about that adulterer!" Gabriel Lancaster brushed away Catherine Taylor in disfavor, causing her to stagger back and kneel on the carpet.
"Mom..." Seeing her mother hit, Willow Lancaster climbed up from the ground, rushed over, squatted on the carpet, and helped her mother up.
