My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158

When Shawn nodded obediently, only did Mr. Roger Sr. smile as he said, “That’s my son.”

Shawn lowered his head, but there was a hint of disdain in his eyes. “This old man had no idea I. existed until I was fifteen. When my ailing mother finally brought me to him, he insulted her. He only reluctantly acknowledged me as his son after receiving the DNA results.

‘At the beginning, when he was still healthy, he had treated me offhandedly, as if I was nobody to him.

‘Only when his health has deteriorated, and my elder brothers have gotten more and more out of his hand did I manage to earn a spot by playing the role of an obedient and well-behaved son and become his most trusted person among the Rogerses,’ Shawn thought as he lowered his eyes, the eyes that flashed with a stern look.

‘The power of the Rogers family is my only goal. With it, I will have the right to discard others in the future, and no one will be able to do so to me!’ With that in mind, Shawn helped Mr. Roger Sr. walk and said gently, “Father, are you feeling better today?”

Usually, with Mr. Roger Sr.’s stamina, he would not stay up past eight o’clock at night waiting for Shawn’s return. Instead, he would go to bed early and fall asleep while gasping for breath.

Nevertheless, although his health was on the verge of collapse, it had yet to reach the critical point. In other words, Mr. Roger Sr. might be able to live longer if his condition improved. And if he had only found out about his health a month later, he would only have had six months to live at most.

Apparently, Mr. Roger Sr. felt more energetic than usual today. “I took Ms. Riddle’s advice. After basking in the sun outside our manor in the afternoon, I feel much better,” he exclaimed joyfully.

However, when he thought of how hard Shawn had persuaded him to take more naps by telling him its benefits, he squinted his eyes slightly as he looked at Shawn with suspicions.
