Chapter 2526
After the young man was done crying, he watched as Sebastian and Nigel's car drove into the distance. His gaze was very determined, but nobody knew what he was thinking at that moment.
Sebastian and Nigel's car were already further and further away.
Sebastian directly detained Frost and escorted her to the restaurant in that village where those few families had agreed to meet. That was the first time those families got together after Marcus' grandfather passed away.
They originally booked three tables and thought that it would be enough to fit everybody. However, it was after they had arrived that they realized Alex had brought Jane and the children over. Ryan also came along with them.
A few months had passed since Ruth had a conflict with Ryan, and she returned to South city after running away from the Poole Residence.
It felt like a lifetime had passed when they met again that day.
"Ruth, have you been well during this period?" Ryan asked.
Ruth's tone was already very calm. "Master Ryan, do you still remember that you have a wife and two sons? Were you not worried about US at all? You actually never visited US once in the past few months. How heartless!"
"You have been doing well in the past few months, haven't you?" Ryan was slightly angry because he felt he was wronged.
Ruth said, "You..."
"Ryan! Cut it out! Your parents are not by your side right now, so I'll discipline you on their behalf! How can you speak like that? Was it easy for Ruth to be taking care of two children on her own?
You're a man, and you're the head of the household. You have to hold the family together! How can you make matters worse instead?" Alex looked at Ryan with a long face.
Ryan said, "Uncle Alex..."
Throughout his whole life, Ryan had never been afraid of his parents and his grandparents. However, the person he had been most afraid of since childhood was his Uncle Alex.
When he was reprimanded by Alex, he first had a furious expression, but then he had no choice but to calm himself down after that. He then hung his head and said, "Yes, Uncle Alex."
"Apologize to Ruth!"
Ryan was speechless.
"Apologize!" Alex ordered again.
Ryan then said, "Ruth, I'm...sorry."
Ruth looked at Alex and Jane. "Uncle Alex and Aunt Ruth, I know that you're good people, and you have given me plenty of help in the Poole family. However, I had figured something out. Ryan and I are too drastically different." 1
"I am indeed a vulgar person. I don't have a way to turn myself into a graceful young lady within a short period. I can't get used to those rules set by my mother-in-law."
"I kept saying the wrong words and doing the wrong things. I was living in fear every day and had to be extremely careful all the time. There was a period when I wondered if I was clinically depressed. I was truly afraid that I would be clinically depressed."
"I thought that the Poole family is the only noble family in the entire Kidon city while the Ford and the Shaw family are the only ones in the entire South City."
"We have more than a billion people in this country. How do they live their lives then? Do they have so many rules as well? Were they so overly meticulous as well? Could it be that those people who have no rules and are not fussy don't deserve to have children? If that was the case, then how do we get so many people in this country?"
