Intention “I understand.” Jared nodded The old Mrs. Farrell beat her breast, “So after your dad passed out drinking because of your mom, I couldn't help it anymore, and I went to your mom and asked her what she wanted.
Why did she break her word? If she despised my son so much, why didn’t she say yes when the Farrell family called off their marriage? Why did she have to marry in? Didn't we, the Farrell family give her a chance? No, we did.
If the marriage was canceled, she can live with Connor Stockert, and we, the Farrell Family, will help the Zachary family.
But she said no.
After she got married, she enjoyed what the Farrell family did to the Zachary family, and she still treated my son that way...” I didn't think anyone could stand it.
Jared dropped his eyes and didn't answer.
As a son, he knew what his mother was doing was wrong, even immoral.
But he could not say so directly.
She was still his mother, even though he had lost much affection for her.
The old Mrs. Farrell had always been reasonable, and she knew the reason for Jared's silence, so she never blamed her grandson.
After all, as a son, he should not blame his mother.
If he did, as his grandmother, she would think he was wrong.
“But grandma, didn't you ask them to divorce?” Jared pressed his lips together and suddenly said, “In your character, if you had seen my father so miserable, and my mother so bent on another man, you would have asked them to divorce.
It would have been better for everyone.” “I did.” The old Mrs. Farrell sighed, “During the conversation with your mother, I proposed to divorce them.
Although your mother was pregnant with you at that time, I also explicitly told your mother that she could abort the child and pursue her love, but...” “My mom still said no?” Jared figured out what happened next.
The old Mrs. Farrell nodded, “Yeah, your mom, she's crazy for love, but she was also responsible.
She refused my offer, saying she couldn't go back on her promise to give your father an heir, so she wouldn't abort the baby, and she wouldn't get a divorce for a while.
She said she would wait until the child was born and old enough to understand that their parents divorced without love.
She said it very seriously, and I really wanted to have a grandson.
Your mother was pregnant with you at that time, and I actually could not bear to ask her abort it.
I didn't want her and your father torturing each other, so I suggested that she get rid of the baby.
But she said she wanted to have the baby, so I didn't stop her.” “Then what happened?” Jared asked.
The old Mrs. Farrell took a sip of tea, “And then I told your mother it was up to her as long as she wouldn't regret it, and she laughed and touched her stomach and said no.
She said she would be with Connor Stockert many years later, but he would wait for her and be as faithful as she was.
She said she had an appointment with Connor Stockert.
I knew about this arrangement during my investigation, but I didn't tell your mother.
Even when your mother said it, I pretended to be surprised and said it was good.” Here the old Mrs. Farrell snorted sarcastically, “I said it at the time, but I thought it was ridiculous.
She would trust a man to be faithful for her! She really overestimated Connor Stockert's feelings for her.
If Connor Stockert loved her so much, why didn't he ever speak out against her engagement or marriage to your father? He didn't even go public with your mother, but she came out on her own before she got married.
As a man, if he really loved her so much, wouldn't he object to her marrying another man? Would he not reveal her identity as his girlfriend? So, I never thought Connor Stockert loved your mother that much, but your mother, well...” The old Mrs. Farrell gave another long sigh, “As it turns out, I was right.
