Hey, My Twins Babies novel Chapter 743

Rufus began to talk about the past.

“Your grandfather made us to get married. When we first got married, we were like strangers, and then you and Brian eased our relationship. But it was either love. We have been together for long, and we had you, so we were like families.”

Remembering the past, remembering his dead wife, Rufus was not guilty. He did not feel sorry for his dead wife.

Hearing that, Stella knew Rufus was not waiting for her mother but that woman.

“You don’t love Mom, but Mom loved you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have jumped to her death because of you. She could not accept your betrayal...”

“I had nothing to do with her suicide.”

Rufus interrupted Stella.

“Dad, what do you mean?”

Stella asked Rufus with surprise. She heard everything dad said. Everyone thought her mother couldn't accept being cheated, so she jumped to her death.

Her father did not deny it in those years. But more than 20 years had passed, her father said he had nothing to do with it.

Rufus didn't control himself and had said it out.

“Nothing. It's all over. It doesn't matter who was right or wrong.”

“Stella, I am not afraid to take the responsibility.”

Rufus did not give an explanation, but covered it.

“Dad......”

“Stella, your mother is dead. We must respect her. What happened between me and your mother does not matter. Don’t talk about it.”

Rufus didn’t let Stella continue to ask, and he regretted his impulse.

“Well, what about that woman? Have you been waiting for her?”

Stella did not continue to ask, but she guessed that there must be something between her parents.

Her father was frank and he was not afraid to take the responsibility. Even if it wasn't his fault, he could have taken it.

So she believed her father.

But that woman who had made her father lonely for so many years, who had kept him waiting for so many years, was a thorn in her heart.

“Alas......”

Rufus first sighed and then opened his mouth.

“Stella, you have grown up and experienced love and marriage. There are things and feelings you understand better than I do.”

“Living with your mother for so many years, I have never thought of betrayal and never had fancy for any woman, though I had no feelings for her. But Isobel is different. For me, she is the real love.”

“I'm very happy to be with Isobel, and I was going to divorce your mother and marry Isobel. But I didn't handle it well enough. Your grandfather found it out. You know what kind of man your grandfather is. He won't allow my marriage to go wrong, even if it doesn't work out, it must be profitable.”

Rufus could not help but sigh. Speaking of Isobel, he had guilt in his eyes, which was different from that when he spoke of his wife.

Stella quietly listened, although his attitude of mentioning her mother was different from that when he mentioned Isobel, she did not interrupt her father.

Just like her father said, her mother had been dead for more than twenty years. No matter who was right or wrong, all they could do was face the reality.

Her father was still alive, but he lived in remorse and regret. And he had been lonely all his life.

It was the first time in more than twenty years that he had mentioned the past. If her father wanted to, she wanted to be a listener, to let him pour out his repressed feelings.

Rufus went on.

“Isobel was a doctor, and her brother has a construction company. But your grandfather did not like this construction company.”

“Your grandfather made things worse by meddling in it. Isobel didn't know I had a family with two children. Your grandfather took her away by force, told her about my situation and threatened her.”

“It hit Isobel very hard. She felt cheated by me. She denied even my feelings for her. I lied to her. I felt indebted to her. I've been waiting all these years for the chance to meet her again and apologize to her.”

Rufus did not conceal his feelings to Isobel. Only when he told her his true feelings, Stella would accept it bit by bit.

After waiting for more than 20 years, he did not wait in vain. Finally, Isobel came back. But Rufus did not expect that Winnie would be with Brian.
