Chapter 384 Old Mr. Webster’s Idea
Donahueiel’s expression was cold, but his gaze was firm.
That was their first child, their own flesh and blood. But because of his
indifference and negligence, his child was gone forever.
Thinking of how he once used the miscarriage to question Janet and
repeatedly poked her at the place where it hurt the most, he couldn’t help but
imagine Janet’s helpless figure and how she writhed in pain. She went through all this by herself. Donahueiel felt like someone was grabbing his heart.
tightly.
As soon as these words came out, old Mr. Webster was thrilled at first and
thought that Donahueiel had finally known how to handle relationships. But
then, he stopped smiling as if thinking of something and looked at Donahueiel
with confusion.
“Why are you doing this? If you were doing this just because you feel guilty and sorry for her, then you don’t need to do it.”
Old Mr. Webster frowned and gave Donahueiel a meaningful gaze.
“Jill is a good kid. You foolishly give all of your attention to that girl Anastasia and have already hurt Jill.
Don’t pester her now just to make yourself feel at ease. I think you wanted to get back together with Janet not because you like her. Remarrying is just going to hurt her again.”
At this time, old Mr. Webster was not like Donahueiel’s grandfather, but instead, he stood by Janet’s side, feeling sorry for her from the bottom of his
heart,
Hearing old Mr. Webster mention Anastasia, Donahuciel fell into deep thoughts.
He had asked himself several times what his feelings for Anastasia were like, but often not only could he not get an answer, but his heart was in a mess.
But now, he knew that he truly experienced Janet’s pain, truly understood her hatred, and felt her misery.
“I was wrong. I mistakenly thought that my feeling for Anastasia was love. Now that I think about it clearly, the reason why I was worried and indulged Anastasia was that I was grateful for her saving my life. That is it.‘
Donahueiel’s fists were clenched tightly on his knees, and his expression was firm.
“But Janet is different. I’m sure my feelings about her are different.”
Seeing Donahueiel’s swearing face, old Mr. Webster still had some doubts. Donahueiel usually stood by his words, but he made many mistakes in relationships.
“Did you give up on Anastasia because she was messing around with others so that you chose to get back together with Jill?”
Old Mr. Webster’s face darkened as he thought about Peal who brought disgrace to the Webster family.
That girl couldn’t compare with his Jill in a million years. Mr. Webster couldn’t really understand what Donahueiel saw in Anastasia.
Every time Donahueiel thought of what Anastasia had done, he rarely cared.
It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed in her, but when he heard of Anastasia’s scandals, he wasn’t furious at all.
But the anger that was missing from Anastasia exploded when he faced Janet.
He lost it when he thought of Nigel. Donahueiel knew Janet didn’t like Nigel,
but Nigel’s appearance by her side always made his anger spike.
Donahueiel was also shocked by this kind of endless possessive desire for Janet, like a wild beast seizing its territory.
“No. It’s not the same.”
Donahueiel’s face was filled with rare tenderness.
“It was my lack of concern for her that caused the tragedy that year. I will
make it up to her.”
Seeing that Donahueiel was sincere, old Mr. Webster was relieved. He picked up his teacup and took a sip, but he still had a look of disappointment on his
face.
Thus, he urged, “Since you decided, you have to act quickly. You’ve seen those men around Jill. She won’t be waiting for you forever.”
“If I remember correctly, your birthday is half a year away, right?”
Old Mr. Webster choked at Donahueiel’s words and glared at him in irritation.
