SWNOVELS Chapter 126 Harmonious Conversation
"You rebellious son!" John's hawk-like gaze coalesced and precipitated appalling anger, "What's so good about that woman? She is always pretending to be pitiful. What's worth holding on to?" William looked at his father with a complicated gaze, and even at this moment, he did not understand why his father hated Lucille so much, "Lucille is not that kind of person! Dad, you used to oppose us together. I know you do not like her, and when you heard that she was infertile, you hated her more. Lucille has already become like this, so don't say such unpleasant things!"
"Rebellious son!" John's anger rose. "I just hate that woman. Even if she could give birth to ten children, I still hate her!"
"What about Sherry? Didn't you also oppose it at first?"
John's face stiffened a bit. "I accept Sherry! I do not like her initially, but Sherry is a hundred times better than Lucille. Just listen to my words, hurry up and leave Lucille. Whether she went crazy or die, that is the Mclean family's business. It has nothing to do with us!"
"How can you be so heartless?" A wave of anger burst out from William. "Dad, I know how good Sherry is. I only want her in my life, don't worry about this! I am only taking responsibility for Lucille!" "William, Sherry is willing to sacrifice so much for you, why don't you consider the feelings of the woman?"
John's words caused William to freeze, a touch of pain came to his heart. After taking a deep breath, he smoked a cigarette and stopped talking.
"Go back to work tomorrow. I have told the Mclean family about Lucille's matter and let Caelan Mclean himself pick up his daughter back! What's good living in MH residence?" John was an older man, after all, and was only worried about his daughter-in-law running away!
He had examined Sherry, and the key is that she had a son, Dan. He liked the child from the bottom of his heart. Whether the Rowland Group was passed on to the grandson was not important, the key was how to carry it forward!
"Dad, I have thought about it. The point is that Lucille only recognizes me. If I send her away, what if she gets more serious?" William said worriedly.
"Isn't that better? Immersing in the illusion than living in reality is much happier. Being crazy can also be very happy! Besides, she is not a beggar. She still has the Mclean family. Why do you have to take responsibility? Who are you? Go back immediately, or else I'll badmouth you in front of Sherry!" John's mouth was like bearing a cunning scheme. "Let her know how close you were to Lucille in the past, and let her leave you of her own accord!"
"What's in it for you to do that?" How could there be such a father? William's face turned pale.
"No benefit, but I just can't stand to see you taking care of Lucille!" John was also known for his stubbornness. "These days, you have taken care so much, and I didn't make a move. If you still want to continue to take care of her, then I'll let someone drive her completely crazy so that she doesn't even know you! That way, she can only stay in a mental hospital!"
"Dad!" John's eyes widened. He never knew his father was so vicious. "How can you treat a sick person like that?"
"Fine! If you don't listen, don't regret when you lose Sherry. I'm telling you, in this world, there aren't many women who can sacrifice silently! If you don't cherish it, be careful of being snatched by others!" William suddenly understood John. "Yesterday, Riley called to tell me that Sherry went to a room with a man was your intention, right?"
John coldly snorted. That look was unmistakable, so what if it was me?
Although his father's behavior was very irritating, it indirectly helped him to make up with Sherry, but his father was right. Could Sherry keep sacrificing? And how could he bear to see her aggrieved? "Go back to work, find a way to bring Sherry to work in the Rowland Group, what's good about being the secretary of that old pervert Cohen? Cohen has not done anything yet, but his stepson has done it! Yesterday, Riley and I saw with our own eyes that man named Keegan carried Sherry to his car!"
"Ah!" William felt that a big rival had appeared. "I'll go find Sherry and ask her to resign!"
"She won't agree!" John said.
"How do you know her so well?"
"Because I talked to her about the conditions, she can give up Sammy just so that the child was not made as a bargaining chip. A woman who picked up someone else's child and raised it and educated it so well would willingly give up her own child? Through this matter, it shows that she is an open-minded woman, like your mother!"
William was abruptly stunned, for how many years, he had never heard his father praise a woman, but he did not expect his father to praise Sherry.
His heart had a little more comfort this time. John wouldn't oppose his marriage! He would get Lucille cured as soon as possible and then marry Sherry without any burden!
"Dad! This daughter-in-law, are you satisfied?" William suddenly felt his eyes heat up.
"What's the use of being satisfied? It is not certain that she will be my daughter-in-law! It's not sure whose daughter-in-law it is, maybe it's Cohen's, but Dan said he wants her mommy to marry Keegan and have a taller sister who can be a model!"
"What?" William immediately sat up at the sound of this and smoked fiercely. "That kid really said that?"
"And said that he had not seen you for over a month. He doesn't like you anymore!"
Dan's quirky appearance came to mind, and William was neither angry nor furious and immediately stood up. "Dad, I'll first think of a way to get Sherry to quit her job!"
"When do you plan to go to the company?"
"Tomorrow!" William said it and hurriedly left.
John smiled, although it was a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, his face was no longer stiff and indifferent. This should be the most they had spoken between the father and the son in all these years. Everything had changed because of Sherry's appearance. Was it the will of God? John looked down at the photo placed on the desk. It was a serene woman, gorgeous, with a pair of beautiful eyes... and those eyes made John think of Dan. The child also had those kinds of eyes...
Sherry was sorting out the documents on hand when Cohen suddenly came to the company again in a hurry and pushed open the door of Sherry's office room.
She froze and immediately stood up, surprised and worried, asking, "Mr. Sutton, didn't you say you weren't coming back this afternoon? Is there something urgent?"
Cohen's expression seemed a bit agitated. He looked at Sherry and tried to suppress his emotions as he asked in a low voice, "Sherry, no, nothing!"
Sherry frowned slightly and also sighed in relief, "Then what is Mr. Sutton's orders?"
"No, nothing!" Cohen just looked at her.
His eyes were incomparably complex, making Sherry a little puzzled. She subconsciously looked at herself. There was nothing wrong with her. The stain that was spilled in the morning she had also dealt with in the bathroom.
"Then what does Mr. Sutton wants?" Sherry asked.
Cohen immediately shook his head, "Nothing, Sherry, find me the resume of the day you applied for the job, I'll take a look!"
"All of them?" Sherry asked.
"Yes, all of them!" Cohen only wanted her date of birth because he suddenly thought of something.
"Then I'll go to the archives to get it, wait for a while. I'll send it to your office!" Sherry said, then she got up to get it.
Not long after, Sherry took a stack of file materials back to Mr. Sutton's office and handed it to Cohen, who took it and immediately searched on it.
Sherry looked at him in confusion. He seemed to be very eagerly looking for something. His look was completely without the usual dashing.
Cohen finally found Sherry, the father column had written, Clark Murray and mother, Sierra Anderson. Clark? Then look at the date of birth. It was 19th March! Cohen was shocked. His whole person froze up, and his face was unusually pale.
"Mr. Sutton, are you okay?"
"No, it's fine!" Cohen shook his head, then looked at the date on there again to make sure it was not a mistake. "Sherry, your date of birth is accurate, right?" "Yup! Can this be faked?" Sherry smiled and said. "Of course, it's true!"
In that instance, Cohen only felt boundless surprise in his heart, looking at the girl in front of him, his emotions were unusually complicated, was it possible? Is there a possibility?
Cohen would still have relatives in this world?
It seemed that something slowly wandered out from his body, in the dark, Cohen felt that a particular withered place in his heart was slowly reviving.
Looking at Sherry's face, which had some similarity like his own nose, he was sure that she, Sherry Murray, was his daughter if she really was born on that date!
His eyes were full of pity, which made Sherry suddenly feel something wrong. She thought that Mr. Sutton was a philanderer, and immediately got cautious, and just hurriedly said, "Mr. Sutton, I'll go first!" "Sherry!" Cohen shouted urgently, but Sherry ran out fast.
Cohen just realized and wondered did he scare her?
Sherry's panicked departure made Keegan, who was just about to enter Mr. Sutton's office a little surprised, "Sherry, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing!" Sherry shook her head in a panic. She bit her lips and tried to make her voice lighter, "I'm going to work!"
Mr. Sutton looked scary just now. She had to escape out.
Keegan knocked on the door and went in, and he saw Cohen sitting on the big chair with a dumbfounded face, with an indescribably complicated look in his expression. "Adoptive father, the matter you asked me to investigate has been investigated clearly!"
"Report!" Cohen's mood adjusted.
"Sierra's husband's name is Clark, which is Sherry's father. Their marriage was like a flash. They got married after three months of knowing each other and had a daughter and a son after the marriage, eight years ago Clark died in a bizarre car accident, also in the same year, Sierra married Payne Jones. Six years ago, the son Luke Murray died of congenital heart disease."
"She married Payne Jones eight years ago?" Cohen raised his eyebrows, "How many years have we been out of prison?"
"Eight years!" Keegan said.
"Well! You go out. I want to be alone!" Cohen's entire body was deeply sunk in the big chair.
Keegan looked over and only felt that his adoptive father was somewhat silent, he saw the side of his face and wanted to say something, but eventually, he did not. "Adoptive father, I'm going out then!" "Okay!" Cohen shivered and tried to find a cigarette. Keegan understood, and he immediately took out a cigarette, handed one, and then helped him light it.
When Keegan lit it, he found that his adoptive father's lips holding the cigarette trembled a bit, and his breathing also seemed to be heavy along with it. "Father, are you all right?" Keegan asked with concern.
"Keegan, just go out!" Once again, his voice was incomparably despondent as he hurried people away. "Don't let anyone disturb me!"
"Okay!" Keegan had to go out.
All the time until almost the end of the day, Cohen did not come out of the office, and Keegan ran to look at the closed door several times, and then looked at Sherry again, with the same complicated eyes.☐☐☐
