Sean’s voice wasn’t loud, but it stunned everyone.
Suddenly, they all looked in the same direction in surprise or disbelief. Sean was standing there, his face as cold as death!
He had guessed that his grandmothers and grandfathers might not be well off, but he had never imagined that it would come to this.
Even a couple of thugs and a bitch humiliated Gemma on the street!
Back then, the Wright family was one of the largest families on the South side of town. After their marriage to the Mason family in the Capital City, they were even more successful and powerful. His grandmother Gemma Wright and his grandfather Dean Wright, as the leaders of Wright family, were full of high spirits and lofty sentiments. They were met with bow and scrape by all. They had not suffered the slightest injustice.
A man who lost position and influence might be subjected to much indignity.
And it all happened because of Sean!
Sean got them in trouble!
At this point, Sean’s anger was not hard to guess. His fist was clenched and his eyes were sharp as knives at Betty and those bullies. When his eyes fell on the shocked Gemma, he could not help but feel a little moist at the corner of his eyes.
“Sean?”
Gemma was the first to recognize Sean.
Five years later, after the baptism of war, Sean had changed a lot compared to five years ago. His skin was not as white as before, he was now bronzed. His figure was larger and stronger than before. And his face and features were much more mature and angular…
Still, Gemma recognized him at first sight.
“Grandma!”
Sean started walking, ignoring the surprised stares around him, and walked straight towards Gemma Wright. The tears, which had been spinning in his eyes, burst out with the call after five years.
Men did not easily shed tears. Bu he was so sad.
“Sean, is it really you?”
Gemma’s tears, which had just stopped, gushed out again. However, unlike before, it was sad tears, angry tears, helpless tears, wronged tears when she faced with Betty and bullies.
When Gemma saw Sean, the tears that came out of her eyes were tears of excitement, tears of surprise, tears of anticipation, and tears of happiness.
She tried again and again to wipe away her tears, but her eyes were blurred. She seemed afraid that in the blink of an eye, Sean would disappear. She was afraid that she was only imagining what she was seeing.
“Grandma, it’s me.”
Sean walked out of the crowd and nodded, “I’m back.”
“Oh, my Sean!”
Gemma let out a cry, almost breaking down. She completely forgot about Betty and the gang and opened her arms to hug Sean.
However, Betty and the gang didn’t forget why they came.
“Shut up and stop!”
After a moment’s pause, Betty and the bully looked at each other. The punk raised his baseball bat right in front of Gemma, blocking her path.
