When I arrived at the company the next day, Shannon chased after me to ask for my reasoning. I told her.
After she was done listening, she leaned back into her chair, her posture exploratory. "You’re right. You really don’t have feelings for the Yards, but blood is thicker than water. Are you sure you don’t want to go back and meet the old man?"
I shook my head. "He's just feeling guilty. Who knows? He might regret it and feel even sadder after he meets me. I'd better not add to his troubles."
She stroked her chin and posed me a profound question, "You know your past now. Won’t you regret it in the future if you don't go back?"
Even a person like Silas felt remorseful when they got older. I would probably feel regretful in the future.
I did not deny this.
However…
"The Yards are so dangerous. I have children now. What if they get involved? I would like to live a few more years."
"That's true. A lot of people want a prominent status, but they all forget that the Yard family has a lot of enemies. Once you enter the Yard family, you’re in as deep as the sea and have to be on guard all the time. I think the identity of Cole Anders was also for self-protection. "
I would not even have thought about it if Shannon had not mentioned it. I nodded. "It's very possible. I'd better stay here so that I don’t need to worry."
"That's right. It’s not like Theo is in need of money anyway. You can have a career here if you want to. The same goes to love. It’s all fine and dandy."
My mood brightened after I chatted with Shannon, and my heart which had still been a little indecisive had now settled on a decision.
It was noon in a blink of an eye.
I had actually made an appointment with Shannon to go for lunch downstairs, but then the secretary came in and informed me, "President Lane, Mr. Anders has invited you to meet him in the dining room downstairs, Room A."
The man did not even make an appointment with me. He just came over!
“Noted."
I looked at Shannon, and she spoke first. "It's okay, you should go quickly."
"Okay."
Room A.
