Chapter 263 Reflection
“Alright. Thanks for your help. You can go home now.” Alex thanked Autumn.
“Sure, Mr. Jefferson, I’ll take my leave now,” Autumn said politely as she excused herself.
She carefully closed the door before leaving.
Seeing the respect and adoration in Autumn’s eyes, Heather grew worried.
Even if Alex really deceived the Jones family, his deception was definitely not an ordinary feat.
“You are really a geomancer? When did you learn to be one? How come I have not the slightest clue about it?” Questions after questions were asked by Heather as Alex turned to go back to his room.
“Whether I am a geomancer or not, hasn’t Autumn made it very clear?”
Alex let loose his frustration and said, “Have you tried asking yourself as to why you never knew? All these years your family has never trusted me. I have told you all so many things, yet how many of those have you all truly trusted me or taken heed of my advice?”
Having blurted it all, he turned and entered his room, closing the door behind him, and ignored Heather.
He had never lied to Heather, but no matter what he did her family never trusted him.
In that case, was it important for him to tell them the truth?
No. Not important at all. For even if he had, no one in the family believed him anyway.
Heather was stuck on the spot as she was too shocked to say a word.
True. Have they ever trusted Alex?
None. Not even once.
Regardless of whether Alex told the truth or not, they had always relied on their biased judgments and had never believed anything Alex had said.
If so, what right did she have to question Alex?
“Heather, has our visitor left? Has the Jones family taken away your trash–of–a–husband?
At this moment, Carmen popped her head out from her door, surveying cautiously and asked.
“Mom, can you stop calling Alex a trash? Can you justify calling him useless?” Heather turned around and reprimanded with much displeasure,
“Huh?”
Carmen was startled, her face showed that she was puzzled by her outburst.
If Alex is not a trash, then what is he?
“Have you seen any ‘trash‘ helping the cops to nab robbers?”
“Have you seen that ‘trash‘ risking his life to take a bullet for someone?”
