Edwards and John Wayne stood face to face, and although the two of them seemed to be smiling, their eyes were shockingly cold. Edwards was young, after all, unlike John Wayne who had experienced many ups and downs, who was able to cultivate to the point of burying his happiness and anger in the depths of his heart, it was as if his heart had been pierced by a cold arrow when he heard John Wayne said that he would come back to visit them. He knew that the "you" John Wayne mentioned did not only include his grandparents, but referred to his woman and his children.
"Edwards, all of you have a good chat, don't argue. I'll go downstairs to see how the dinner preparations are going." The old lady was still afraid that they would get into an argument over the past grudges, so she spoke up to persuade them.
However, John Wayne showed guilt and remorse on his face, "Edwards, I wanted to apologize to you for what I had done, it was my fault. I hope you won't bear a grudge against me in your heart."
Edwards said in a bland voice, "Uncle is sincere in admitting your wrongs, so of course I won't have any more resentment towards you. Moreover, you have been imprisoned for five years, so I believe that these five years will not be easy to bear. Let bygones be bygones."
Seeing that Edwards did not want to bring it up again, John Wayne was slightly shocked in his heart. He thought that Edwards would bring it up again and convict him.
The old man praised Edwards with a face full of gratification: "Edwards's magnanimity is very good, so you don't need to bring up what happened back then again. You are uncle and nephew, you need to help each other and not resent each other again."
Edwards took into consideration his grandfather's feelings and nodded: "Grandfather is right, we are relatives, we shouldn't hate each other like enemies."
John Wayne was not very happy. He discovered that in the Wayne Family, he was becoming more and more like an outsider. His parents' love and consideration of Edwards had long surpassed his as a son.
He was not the only one who believed that; even his own son, Jack Wayne, would feel that he had lost his place in the hearts of his grandparents.
"Uncle, you and grandpa haven't seen each other in so many years, you must have a lot of things to say, I won't disturb you anymore!" Edwards really did not want to stay in the same room with John Wayne, once he thought about how he instructed April Jones to give his father the poisoned alcohol to drink, the anger in his heart surged. Although he kept on reminding his brother not to act rashly, but at this point, even he himself might not be able to control the urge to beat up.
"Alright, you can go down and accompany the children!" The old man saw the unfamiliarity between Edwards and John and did not force him to stay behind. Instead, he raised his hand to allow him to go downstairs.
The moment Edwards walked out of the room, he heard John Wayne's voice. "Edwards's two children look really pleasing to the eye, especially Emma, and it seems that our Wayne Family has always only had sons and very few daughters, what a cute little princess."
Edwards had just walked out of the door when he instantly stopped in his tracks. A hint of anger was in his eyes as he stared in the direction of the door.
Immediately after, he heard the old man's joyful voice, "That's right, it's precisely because we have never given birth to a daughter that Emma's arrival has brought us so much joy and laughter."
Edwards pinched the center of his brows. He could also tell that his grandparents actually liked Emma a lot, because Emma's cuteness and innocence could not be exchanged by anything.
Edwards did not want to hear any more. He was afraid that he would get his bodyguard to throw John Wayne into the Pacific Ocean. If anyone dared to do anything harmful to his daughter, he would definitely kill that person. Edwards walked down the stairs with heavy steps. He didn't want to go to the toy room anymore, instead, he walked towards his bedroom.
Lying on the sofa, his mind was buzzing. He couldn't calm down at all. It was as if he was straining a string, ready to snap at any moment.
Just then, Lily opened the door and entered, intending to bring a small jacket for George. It was cold.
She didn't expect to see Edwards leaning on the sofa, pinching the space between his eyebrows, as if he was very tired.
