Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard) novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15 Making Him Apologize

Alistair thought he had made himself perfectly clear.

To his surprise, Liam had called Rebecca behind his back to verify his story!

Fuming with anger, Rebecca made a decision.

Wasn’t everything Alistair had done to get her attention and win his way back to her side?

She looked around at her home, again in disarray because of her -perhaps it wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

She needed someone to look after them anyway.

As for Richard, she could persuade him.

Just as she exhaled slowly, satisfied that she’d finally found a way to punish Alistair, her phone rang.

The caller ID made Rebecca’s perfectly shaped eyebrows arch slightly. She let out a contemptuous snort and deliberately waited until the caller was about to hang up before answering.

“Ms. Whitfield, Alistair says you’ve divorced him. Is that true?” the caller asked in a fawning tone, carefully seeking confirmation.

Oh, Alistair realized he’d gone too far and truly angered me, huh? Was he afraid I’d never take him back, so he called reinforcements? How ridiculous. Didn’t Alistair know that his sycophantic, incompetent father meant absolutely nothing to

me?

Rebecca had made up her mind. Even if she graciously allowed Alistair to return, she would willingly make him kneel before her and swear to be her servant for the rest of his life.

That was what he deserved for his disobedience!

“Yes,” Rebecca replied with cold elegance.

That single, lightly spoken word seemed to deliver a death sentence to the man on the other end of the line.

After a long pause, Liam’s deeply embarrassed voice finally came through. “I’m sorry, Ms. Whitfield. That good–for–nothing boy of mine clearly hasn’t been treating you right. I apologize on his behalf. Please be generous and give him another chance, won’t you?”

Rebecca lounged lazily on the sofa, admiring her fresh manicure as she coldly remarked, “You think I’m playing house with your

son?”

“I’m so so

O sorry, Ms. Whitfield. Please don’t be angry. I’ve already given him a good scolding,” Liam pleaded. “Being accepted as your husband is a blessing from his past life, yet he doesn’t appreciate it. He’s completely ungrateful!”

Rebecca responded with a cold snort, saying nothing.

“How about this–I’ll make Alistair kneel before you and beg for forgiveness. He’ll stay on his knees until you forgive him!”

Of everything Liam had said, this last suggestion pleased Rebecca the most.

She began to fantasize about Alistair kneeling pathetically before her, weeping and begging for her forgiveness.

“What did I tell you before? Take good care of the mother and child. They come from wealth–you could be living the good. life! Don’t give me that ‘incompatibility‘ nonsense. You’ve been together six years; what incompatibility could there be now?

“You clearly haven’t done enough, and she’s become dissatisfied with you. Go apologize to her immediately–on your knees if necessary. Do whatever it takes to earn Ms. Whitfield’s forgiveness!”

Alistair listened silently to Liam’s furious commands over the phone.

He stood tensely by the floor–to–ceiling window, his empty eyes revealing a hint of sadness.

He realized how naive he had been.

When Rebecca kicked him out, he had nothing and struggled to find his footing in society, so he naturally thought of Liam first.

Liam was his only relative. In times of trouble, it was natural to turn to him first.

But now it seemed that if he asked Liam for help, he would receive no comfort, and Liam might drag him to Rebecca’s doorstep to kneel and apologize. But what had he done wrong?

“Alistair! Alistair? Are you even listening to me? Marrying Ms. Whitfield was the luckiest break you’ll ever get in this lifetime, and you don’t even know how to appreciate it! You’re truly clueless!

“Don’t take offense at my words–I’m saying this for your own good! Ms. Whitfield is her family’s only kid. If you keep her happy, will all their family fortune eventually be yours? You could live a life of luxury! Now go apologize to her immediately!”

Hearing this, Alistair lowered his head and let out a small, self–deprecating laugh.

“Why did she leave you if you didn’t do anything wrong? You must have messed up! Stop arguing–I’m telling you, if you don’t get Ms. Whitfield to forgive you, I’ll disown you as my son!”

Each accusation from Liam fermented and expanded the frustration and injustice inside Alistair. When he heard the threat of being disowned, something inside him finally snapped with a deafening internal explosion that left him trembling, his hands and feet ice cold.

Liam raised his voice. “What difference would taking the SAT have made? With your grades, could you have gotten into college? Without a degree, you’d still be the same useless nobody you are now!”

He couldn’t believe his ears. Was this really what a father should say to his son?
