Marco replied, “Not yet. I asked Kathryn to call mom, but she didn’t give us an answer. She probably won’t be back so soon.”
Hearing that Clarissa would not be back so soon, Holden looked visibly more relaxed.
Living with his son, he also “missed” Clarissa, worried that the cruel old woman would come and cause trouble for him and make his life difficult.
Holden himself was an old man.
He was a few years older than Clarissa.
Holden sighed and said, “It’s not our turn to manage your mom’s affairs. If she wants us to know when she’s coming back, she’ll tell us. If she doesn’t want us to know, we won’t be able to find out. It’s best not to ask; otherwise, she’ll suspect you’re up to something.
Your mom and I have been married for decades, but in the end, we ended up like this. Fortunately, you were born. Your mom has no real feelings for me, but she still has a mom-son relationship with you. Your mom spared my life for your sake, but I am just trying to survive.”
He suffered a great blow, both physically and mentally. He knew Clarissa was domineering and had strong possessiveness.
For decades, he had the desire but not the courage to do it, and he didn’t dare to actually touch other women outside.
He felt bold enough to do it this year because he saw that Clarissa was overwhelmed by the affairs of the Farrell family and the fact that the descendants of the previous head of the family had been found. He thought Clarissa had no intention of caring about him.
While Clarissa was at Wiltspoon, he could no longer control his lower body.
After decades of management, he occasionally cheated and was caught red-handed.
He was so unlucky. He ended up like this. I wonder what happened to the beautiful girl he once kept?
Holden didn’t dare to ask.
He guessed that the woman he had slept with probably did not have a good ending and might even be dead.
It wasn’t Clarissa who committed the murder, but the financial backer behind that woman. How could he let her live if he knew she had betrayed him?
“Dad, we will find a way to make Mom forgive you and let you move back to the Farrell family mansion to retire.”
This was the biggest plot among the three brothers Marco.
Like the previous matriarch, her brothers and sisters could get a lot of benefits.
Clarissa’s generation had no brothers, and all her sisters died, but her husband’s family was able to get some benefits from her.
“We have never dared to ask about my mom’s whereabouts. If we want to ask, we should let Kathryn do it. Mom is more and more partial to her now. When she first came back, Mom always looked down on her and scolded her for being useless. Now that I think about it, that was all to coax us; it was all lies; it was just superficial work. In fact, Mom has always been partial to Kathryn. Shiloh was also used by mom.”
When mentioning Shiloh, Holden’s eyes showed both heartache and hatred.
He really loved Shiloh.
That was the child who was raised and nurtured by him. But now he was forced to die.
