A Father And His Wolves novel Chapter 44

“Five years ago, I was put in prison, I lost my mother, I lost my family, I lost my home, I lost everything that was mine. And now, you gave me a home again. So, of course I want to thank you.”

Sean looked righteous.

He said it, and what he thought was, “I also want to thank you for giving me such a lovely daughter, and for raising her so hard.”

“In the meantime, I want to say sorry to you!”

“I’m sorry I got you in trouble!”

Cecilia blushed a little.

Orphan?

Isaac’s previous research only stated that Sean was in prison for rape five years ago, and the emphasis was on Sean’s criminal record, psychopathy, and serious violent tendencies.

There was no mention of Sean’s family background from five years ago.

Cecilia was surprised when it came out of Sean’s mouth and in such an atmosphere. Her heart trembled, and she could not help feeling sorry for him.

Turned out, he was an unlucky guy, too.

Five years ago!

Cecilia was very sensitive to that time, and she instantly thought of herself. She also discovered one day five years ago that she was unaccountably pregnant. For five years she was mocked and her situation deteriorated.

What a coincidence.

Was this what they called freemasonry???

Cecilia asked after a pause, “What happened five years ago?”

For some reason, she had a sneaking feeling that Sean’s alleged rape was probably bogus, planted by someone else.

No reason, just a subtle feeling.

Maybe it was a woman’s intuition.

“You want to know?”

Sean looked up and made eye contact with Cecilia.

“Whatever.”

Cecilia blushed even more. She snorted. She wanted to know, but she was too embarrassed to admit it. Her expression was mischievous and charming in the lamplight.

“I’ll tell you.”

Sean nodded and smiled, then shook his head, “But not now.”

“Then when?”

Cecilia’s words came out of her mouth.

Sean thought about it and said, “My secret is so important that I can only tell it to those closest to me. We’re engaged, but we’re not really married.”

“When you truly love me, and are willing to marry me, I will do what a real husband should do. I’ll be honest with you and tell you all the secrets.”

Married???

Do what a real husband should do???

A real couple…

Cecilia’s heart gave a shiver. When she noticed that Sean’s eyes were on her chest and moving around in a deliberate way, her face burned with shame and anger.

“You wish!”

She glared at Sean, pulled up the covers, climbed into bed, and turned off the lamp on the nightstand. Then she turned her face away from Sean and gritted her teeth, “Who wants to know your secrets? I’m warning you, don’t get your hands on me!”

The room was suddenly in darkness.

Sean rolled his eyes. What was going on?

Was she angry?
