Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 1053

Phil had been living without his parents since childhood, and they rarely saw each other. Therefore, he had little affection for his parents. A few years ago, the old Mrs. Henderson was ill and Phil tried many times to call his parents, Trevon and Cara, to come back and spend more time with the old Mrs. Henderson. However, they turned his request down and kept burying themselves in the so-called career. Since then, Phil had been resentful of them.

In his opinion, money was far less important than the lives and health of his beloved ones.

Besides, at that time, Trevon and Cara had achieved great success in their career. With a great career, they were not short of money. Busy working was just their excuse.

Phil had been successful in his business, too. Even if Trevon and Cara left behind all their careers abroad and went back penniless, Phil could let his parents continue to live a good life.

Phil believed that they were just unwilling to come back and accompany the old lady.

Whenever Phil showed his hatred towards his parents, the old Mrs. Henderson, lying on the hospital bed, enlightened him each time. She said that Trevon and Cara had been living abroad since they got married, and Cara had seldom spent time with her, so they must have felt awkward and uncomfortable coming back and staying with her. Although the old Mrs. Henderson comforted him with these words, her unconscious dismay that her face betrayed severely hurt Phil.

The old Mrs. Henderson lived a pretty bitter life. Her husband, Phil’s grandfather, passed away young, and so the old Mrs. Henderson raised Trevon, Phil’s father, alone, and finally sent him to study abroad.

Later, the old Mrs. Henderson brought up her grandson, Phil.

To Trevon, she had done her utmost.

But her selfless dedication was not rewarded by seeing her son on her deathbed.

Phil knew, it was all Cara’s fault that Trevon failed to go back for a final glimpse of his mother.

At the very beginning, the old Mrs. Henderson disliked Cara and slightly objected to their marriage, because she thought Cara cared too much about fame and success and her son could not handle such a strong, powerful woman.

But she finally accepted Cara since Trevon was so in love with Cara. And Cara disliked the old Mrs. Henderson because of her previous comments. Probably, it was Cara’s idea to let Trevon stay abroad for years and years since she was reluctant to take care of the old Mrs. Henderson.

On the surface, Trevon had been struggling for their career with Cara; in fact, his capacity was nowhere near to Cara’s. Generally, Cara was credited with making their company as successful as it was today. So, Trevon had no say in company affairs or family affairs.

Phil could stand them being ungrateful at ordinary times but would never forgive them for deliberately missing out on the old Mrs. Henderson’s remaining days. Phil could never forget seeing the hope in the dying lady’s eyes fading away bit by bit and finally turning into utter despair.

Despite Trevon’s repeated declaration that they did not miss the day on purpose, Phil asserted they did it deliberately, because he, as a lawyer, had investigated them before and found evidence.

Trevon and Cara insisted that they failed to go to the airport on time due to a client’s late attendance in a contract-signing meeting. However, according to Phil’s investigation, their contract had been signed smoothly as scheduled; the couple just dawdled around and missed the flight by intention.

Trevon did not utter a word with his lips tightened when Phil was sneering at them.

Cara beside him huffed, “If I had known you would be such a bad man, I would have wrung your neck as soon as you were born!”

Phil said mockingly, “You should have done so. You don’t like kids after all. You just use me to stop Grandma from criticizing you.”

The old Mrs. Henderson had thought Cara overvalued fame and money. She would have been angry with Cara if Cara had not given birth to a baby for the family. Cara just brought Phil into the world to reassure the old Mrs. Henderson, and thus, her mission was accomplished.

Cara was so angry at Phil’s words that her whole body was trembling, but there was nothing she could do with him. Over the years, each of their meetings had ended in such disagreements, and Phil had always refused to forgive them for not returning to see his grandmother.
