Chapter 213 Loser
Seeing Hailey, Jason showed a slight smile on his originally gloomy face and said, “Hailey, you’re back.”
“Yes, prandpa.” Hailey took a few steps forward, asked Chris to put the tobacco, alcohol, and tea from Kyle on the table, and conveved his
greetings. Jason nodded appreciatively, “Kyle is a good kid.” When Chris coldly looked at Reid who was kneeling on the ground, his disgust for his future father-in-law could not be concealed. Kyle was not Old Mr. Newman’s biological grandson, but he had prepared gifts for him. But Reid had come empty-handed. How could he have the nerve to ask Old Mr. Newman for help? Morgan and Reid were birds of a feather, who only took but never gave. Ava was a good girl because Reid had always neglected and treated her with indifference. Otherwise, she would have been raised into a person like Eve. “Uncle Reid, you should not have come to bother my grandpa.” Hailey lowered her eyes to look at Reid and said seemingly calmly, ‘Uncle Morgan angered Grandpa, so he had a brain hemorrhage. If he falls ill again because of you, can you bear the consequences?” Her tone was calm, but Reid could hear the ruthlessness and threat in her voice. He couldn’t help thinking of Morgan’s tragic situation and moved his knees backward for fear that Hailey would hit him. And then, he hurriedly asked Jason for help, saying, “Dad, save me! She wants to kill me…” Seeing Reid was about to pounce on Jason recklessly, Hailey glared at him and snapped, “Old K.” Instantly, Old K kicked Reid’s waist fiercely as if his foot in military boots had eyes. Reid was knocked over and then rolled around on the ground. Jason showed a nervous expression and subconsciously intended to help his son, but he took his hand back in the end. A loving father might fail in educating his children. His two sons had been spoiled too much. If things went on like this, they might die before him. But he did not want to lose his young loved ones again. Old K’s kick was forceful. Even though he had only exerted thirty percent of his strength, Reid was still curling into a ball in pain on the
ground, unable to get up. He was like a stray dog now, looking different from the unworldly man at normal times. Seeing this, Ava had a complicated feeling, so she turned her aside to look away. But she clenched her fits without realizing it. Suddenly, a warm palm was put on the back of her hand. When she raised her head, she met Chris’s gentle eyes. He lightly parted his crimson lips and mouthed, “Don’t be afraid.” Ava nodded slightly, regaining her peace of mind. Hailey didn’t want her grandfather to see such a scene, but things must be explained clearly to him. She sat down on the chair, stared at Reid who was curled up on the ground in pain, and then said, “Uncle Reid, I sent a lot of people to invite you here and see Grandpa, but you are always very busy. You are busier than the president and cannot even make a little time, so I had no choice but to force you here.’ Hearing this, Jason couldn’t help showing a bitter smile. As people got older, they yearned for family affection more. He knew his two sons were ungrateful, but he could not help missing them.
