Stanley asked his wife and daughter to leave. When he stood in front of Edie alone, he looked awkward, "if your mother knows that you could be so happy, she will be full of great joy. I have not been a good father to you, and I felt sad about it,"
"How? She already died. She would never be able to attend my wedding. I don’t see anything joyful." Edie showed a light smile.
She had always respected the man in front of her, her father. But after he slapped her, she realized this man would consider nothing for her. All he cared about was a benefit. All he wanted is to seek sothing good for his new family. Edie thought she wasn’t his real daughter the way he treated her.
He got married to his wife just because it would help to drive his business.
Victoria majored in finance because of the benefit.
Edie also heard that he chose the son-in-law based on the benefit.
He saw nothing but benefit.
Stanley felt her alienation from him. The atmosphere got more awkward, "Edie, I apologize. It is my fault."
It has been a long ti that he talked to Edie.
"If you an this, you should have confessed in front of my mother’s grave. But you didn’t. you didn’t even show up."
"I couldn’t. What if soone took my pictures and made it public? I have kept the secret for a long ti. I couldn’t fail at the last mont." Stanley frowned. He raised the voice.
Edie didn’t know how she felt exactly after hearing these words.
She was mad at her mother’s sincere love. She allowed this sanctimonious man to fool around her all the ti.
She also laughed at her pathetic father, at her stupid mother.
Edie still rembered her mother’s description of this man, "He was the best gentleman I’ve t. He is polite and amiable. He would take care of won on the table. He could drink a lot and still keep his politeness. when all others got drunk, he could still stand up and smile at her."
Perhaps it was the magic power of the alcohol. Because of that smile, the woman gave this man the heart.
Edie’s mother said the man was a responsible person. Even though they didn’t say a word to each other, as long as they stayed together, she felt secure. A glimpse and a smile were enough for her.
In this romantic ga, Edie’s mother was bound to fail because she was the one who fell in love first.
At that ti, Stanley was young. He couldn’t reject won falling in love with her. Even now, Edie didn’t know whether her father ever loved her mother.
Because n never rejected any won who voluntarily devoted their bodies.
Then, her mother got pregnant. It was Edie/
Edie’s mother wanted to get married to Stanley. But Stanley refused. He told her that he already engaged with won. He asked her to get an abortion.
Edie’s mother’s families were furious about the news. They all ordered Edie’s mother to cut off the relationship. Pitifully, because of the child, she refused.
She left her family and raised the baby by herself.
From that one, her family never visited her again.
Edie never experienced anything terrible. When she knew sothing and realized they led a hard life, she believed her mother experienced much worse.
She took a deep breath, "Mr. Greg, have you ever loved Ann Lara? Tell the truth."
Stanley was a little shocked by the question. He didn’t expect that Edie would ask such a question.
"Is it a difficult question for you? Mr. Greg." Edie smiled.
Stanley’s face turned hostile when he heard her, "Mr. Greg."
"I am your dad."
"Where was my dad when my mom was severely ill on the bed? How had my dad taken care of ? Where was my dad when everyone blad my mom?"
She said word by word in anger and hatred,
He didn’t know how to reply.
Finally, he stood up.
He bent the body, looked older than the Old Greg.
Edie couldn’t see his eyes. But she still stared at him, waiting for his answer.
He didn’t say a word after quite a while, "yes, she’s the brightest girl I’ve ever t."
"But why do you..."
Edie wanted to keep questioning him. But Stanley stopped her.,
He raised his eyes, looking at her, "But I am the heir of the Greg. If I do whatever I like, thousands of people’s future might be ruined. A man like could never choose by his will. Ask your grandpa, did he marry the girl he loved?"
Edie was shocked by his explanation.
Each one of his words was determining. At the mont, the man looked shining.
"It is lucky for you to et Stuart. If he hadn’t t you, do you believe that he would marry the girl he loved? No. He would marry Victoria. I love your mother, and I want to give everything she wants. But I couldn’t."
"Then why did you sleep with her?" Edie asked desperately,
She generally understood her father’s pain. Donald Lynch was also the sa. He couldn’t control his own fate. His life was already designed at the mont he was born. She couldn’t make any change.
She questioned him loudly. Tears already poured out from her eyes.
"Because I’ve made an unavoidable mistake. I love Ann. I love you, mom. I love Ann Lara." Stanley told desperately. He closed his eyes to stop his tears.
"But who cares about this? No one allowed us to marry, including Lara’s. But she was too stubborn. She could get an abortion. But she never let it go. If you want to bla, then bla fate. We are all fooled by fate."
Edie opened his mouth. But she found no words to say.
Fate.....
It was not the fate
It was him—such a shaless man.
She sneered. With teats on her little face, she looked like ice at the mont.
She despised, ridiculed, and hated the man.
