Chapter 364
Uh…
Sage chuckled and said, “My father…was pretty straightforward, huh?”
Wayne responded, “Not just that, he was a thoughtless boy. At that time, I thought the boy would grow up to be successful, seeing as how odd he was, so I brought him home with me. I told your uncles that he was my son from another woman and had them treat him like their own big brother, and they did. Who knew that they’d bully him behind my back. However, your father was not someone that would tolerate bullies. He fought back and won.”
Sage said straightforwardly, “But they held grudges against him.”
Just like Yeva did.
All Yeva had in her heart werē grudges throughout the year.
Wayne said calmly, “Yeah.. not long after your father moved in, I started teaching Braxton and Zane carving. Both of them didn’t like how it hurt their hands and never took it seriously. Your father, on the other hand, came to me by himself and told me he wanted to learn. I gave him a piece of white jade and a carving knife, and he started carving himself without saying another word.
“His first work was pretty good. Even though he cut his finger open and bled so much blood, he didn’t utter a word of complaint.
“Not only that, he even took over the rubbish Braxton and Zane did and revived them. I was so shocked!”
Wayne was overwhelmed with emotion as he recalled the past.
“After that, I noticed that your father had a huge potential for jade-carving, so I named him my official disciple and started teaching him. Besides jade-carving, I also taught him about antiques.”
Wayne started feeling emotional as he continued, “I was glad to have your father by my side those few years. I was less lonely for sure. I taught him everything I knew without holding back. Slowly, he got his name out there and started becoming more successful. Thus more people came to visit, and that was when our uncles started becoming jealous. They blamed me for playing favorites, and the bond between the siblings started to break as well.
After that, they overheard my conversation with your father and learned that he was not my biological son. They became even more displeased and started verbally attacking your father for no reason at all other tha
At that time, your father met your mother, and your uncles were bullied by your mother as well. So they started holding grudges toward her as well and tried to do something to her, but your father caught them and punished them.”
Wayne sighed, “It was true when they said you could tell what a person is going to grow up to be based on their personality as a child. However, it was also my responsibility as a father for not raising your uncles right. It was my fault for ignoring their red flags because I felt like I owed it to them and eventually pushed them to commit the crime. I knew they had something to do with your parent’s death, but I was too afraid to think about it, let alone face it, which is why I’ve been running away from it all. I ran for three whole years.”
