Terence looked at Edmund calmly, standing straight and unyielding. Since he could stand here today, he naturally knew what kind of obstruction he would encounter.
However, ever since Hester came back, he had been trapped in an endless abyss and suffering every day. He had had enough of it and didn't want it to be with trouble all the time.
"Grandpa Edmund, I understand what you said! I just hope that you can cancel the engagement with the Yu family and give me a chance!"
"Huh!" Edmund snorted as if he had heard a ridiculous joke. How could Terence make a decision on the engagement and marriage of the Liu family?
"Nonsense! Our Liu family has always been sincere. Marriage is not a game! What's more, from what aspect did Mr. Terence ask me to cancel the engagement?"
Terence kept silent, looking at the ground.
Indeed, he had no stand to ask for that.
"You can't speak it out, can you?" Lying on the rocking chair, Edmund sneered. His eyes were fixed on Terence, full of resentment.
The child of the Liu family had suffered such a great humiliation. How could he still stand here and ask for an engagement?
"Hester is a poor child with a simple mind. She didn't know your viciousness before, so she ended up with such a miserable life. We don't blame anyone else, for this is what she should bear.
But now she has realized that she doesn't want to have anything to do with you anymore. As her family, we naturally support her."
"Grandpa Edmund, you're right. I know it was my fault before, and I don't dare to beg you to forgive me. However, this is the affair between Hester and me. Please don't interfere!"
Terence nodded and stood, looking at Edmund in a neither humble nor pushy way.
"I understand that you owe Derek's family. But Hester is Hester, not her mother. She has no obligation to pay for her mother's mistake!"
"Ha-ha!" Edmund mocked and clenched his fists. "Boy, it seems that you have grown up very fast these years!"
"I don't deserve it!" Terence narrowed his eyes and looked at the calm lake, but his heart was not calm at all.
It was not polite for her to visit him today, not to mention that he had just asked for canceling the engagement. But these days, when he was recuperating in the hospital and thought a lot.
Why did he and Hester end up like this? He still remembered that he had a good impression of Hester at the first sight.
He stood at the door and looked at her quietly. She was wrapped in a simple white dress. Her dark eyes seemed to be able to speak when they were rolling.
At that time, he was young and frivolous, and could always be easily touched by the depth of his heart. Hester clutched her skirt uneasily, her lips turning pale.
When they first met, it was very beautiful. Then why did the two of them become like this?
"You don't deserve it?" Edmund snorted and felt furious. "If you don't dare to admit it, you won't be here today. And you even want me to cancel the engagement! Do you really think that there is no one powerful in our Liu family?"
