Anson had asked the doctor about Miya’s condition and he can take the unconscious Miya home.
He places her into the car and takes her back to the Comte residences.
After the car stops, Anson carefully picks Miya in his arms and is worried that he may hurt her. As he carries her out of the car, he is met by a tall and imposing man.
That’s right, that man is Derrick. He looks sinisterly at the woman in Anson’s embrace and with his hands behind his back, his eyes betray a hint of mischief.
“Brother, you are bolder than I imagined. To think that you dare to bring this woman home. Aren’t you afraid that father will dismember her?”
“What father wants to do is his business. Now please don’t block my way.” Anson says emotionlessly. Although he is frosty when he speaks, he turns warm and tender when he looks at Miya.
Derrick steps aside and does not continue to interfere.
Bruce is standing in the living hall with an interrogative and authoritative expression. He isn’t angry but purses his lips and readies to speak but Anson speaks before him.
“Father, I know what you want to say. Allow me to place her down and I’ll come back immediately to you.”
Bruce’s face is dark and so furious that he is at a loss for words.
Anson places Miya onto the bed and then returns to the living hall. He kneels before his father, “Father I know what you want to say. I’m sorry.”
“Do you still regard me as your father?” Bruce is beyond furious, “If it wasn’t for Derrick who told me about this, how long do you intend to keep me in the dark?”
“Did Derrick tell you everything?”
“You are so dedicated to that woman. I already know everything that you did.”
Anson knows that Derrick will not keep a secret for him and also knows that he will embellish some frivolous things. But he knows that he can’t keep this secret for long.
“Father, I am determined to marry her. As long as she can remain by my side, I will agree to any of your demands.”
“You no longer have a bottom line, do you? You weren’t like this in the past.”
“You said it correctly, that was my old self,” Anson adds.
“You have grown up and have changed. I hope that you remember what you said today. If you want to have that woman by your side, then you must be stronger. Do not give everything to your brother.” Bruce warns.
“Why? Doesn’t he want everything?” Anson questions.
“Because, in my opinion, you are the best choice but now you have the compassion of a woman. You weren’t like that in the past.” Bruce looks at Anson, disappointed that he is not living up to his potential.
“Everyone will change. I can’t live under your control all my life and become your puppet. I finally found my purpose for living and I hope that none of you will hinder me. Otherwise, I will revolt with all my might. You should know how extreme I can be when forced. These are all that I wish to say and the rest is up to you.”
After saying these, he stands up and turns to leave, and goes back to his room.
