Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 802

Over the past few months, she had come to feel that the Ward family was genuinely good and kind to her.

She knew Marcus wanted to hear her call him that.

She had wanted to as well, but the word had always gotten stuck in her throat. But seeing him beat up Simon for her just now had filled her with an immense sense of security.

So this is what it feels like to have a brother. If someone tries to bully me, he’ll be the first one to stand up for me. The thought made her want to call him that.

Outside, Marcus was grinning cheekily at Terence. “Shouldn’t you be thanking me, too? If your older brother hadn’t shown up in time, this whole damsel-in-distress act of yours would have fallen apart.”

Terence gave Marcus an awkward smile.

A chill ran down Marcus's spine. Seeing a man as formidable as Terence actually smiling at him didn't feel friendly—it felt dangerous.

He decided it was was safer if Terence just kept a straight face.

Simon, bruised and swollen, crawled back home in a pathetic state.

“Grandpa! Grandpa, help me! Your grandson is about to be beaten to death!”

Daphne was shocked. “What happened? How did you get hurt so badly? Who did this to you?”

“Grandpa, I’m the one who got beaten, and you’re still defending Terence?” Simon whined. “Am I even your grandson?”

“My grandson should be able to stand on his own two feet. When you encounter a crisis, you should be thinking of a solution, not just shifting the blame. How can someone like that ever achieve anything great?”

Simon was miserable. His grandfather had always doted on him the most. Now, he was beaten to a pulp, and his grandfather wasn’t showing him any sympathy or blaming Terence, let alone vowing to get revenge for him.

“Grandma, look at Grandpa! He’s protecting that cripple! He won’t help me! I was almost beaten to death, and he’s still protecting that cripple! Grandma, you have to help me!”

At that moment, Daphne was also fuming. Their most beloved grandson had been beaten this badly, yet Edgar remained indifferent and even sided with that cripple. It was infuriating.
