Chapter 432
Chapter 432 Explanation
Joe's uncomfortable gaze made me itch, and in fact, from his perspective, I was indeed not a trustworthy woman
But if I haven't done it, I haven't done it. I can't just suddenly put on a hat that says "bastard"
But I have never been willing to prove myself, my life creed has always been, since I have been misunderstood, I might as well let it be
Joe didn't believe me, and I didn't have to make him believe, but I couldn't afford to lose out
So I stood up and gently called Aaron in his teasing smile, "Actually, I don't really want to go back to Berlin so soon. The maternity leave given by the company is enough for me to
accompany my daughters, but being alone 1s always too lonely. Since your father wants you to stay, I also want to take this opportunity to live in New York for a while with Molly and Jasmin. After all, this 1s the place where you and I grew up, and I think they will like it too
Aaron glanced at me in surprise, but I quickly intervened to smooth things over. Old Morris appeared delighted and immediately took charge, saying that he would tidy up the entire neighboring small villa for me to use as a place to accompany my daughters to play
Morris and I carefully changed the subject after the unpleasant conversation just now. I could tell that Aaron didn't really want to compromise, but he also didn't want to go against me in front of everyone
So, that's how it went. He basically agreed to
everything we said, including the initial suggestion made by Mr. Morris himself, for him to become the project manager at the Morris Group headquarters
The dinner finally came to an end peacefully, but I noticed that, afterward, everyone at the table, except for me and old Morris, didn't look very good
Especially Joe
His gaze shifted from mockery to scrutiny, and by the time I sat back down to resume my meal, the anger in his eyes was barely concealed
But I felt extremely happy, and I no longer felt uncomfortable because of his anger, because I did indeed do something in a way that he didn't like, and it was understandable that he was angry. I couldn't control that, but at least I didn't feel wronged or misunderstood
As for Aaron, when I secretly glanced at him, he had already resumed his usual indifferent expression as if nothing had happened
It was as if the person who had almost overturned his own dining table just now was not him
But I knew that he was not happy in his heart

It was not because of my father's reproach, nor was it because I was forced to enter the Morris Group headquarters, but because of my recent actions
I should have stood on the same front line with him, even if I didn't insist on going back to Berlin, I shouldn't have persuaded him against his father's wishes
But I did speak to his father, which clearly made Aaron feel extremely disappointed
After finishing this meal, everyone went about their own business with their own thoughts
After I handed the children over to the maid to take a bath, I came to the garden alone to get some fresh air
Aaron finally followed me and when I sat down on the garden chair, he pulled a chair next to me and sat down, glaring at me with a hint of resentment
"Olive, can you now explain to me why you suddenly sided with my father to persuade me?"
"I'm sorry I didn't take your feelings into consideration, but..." I paused for a moment, looking directly into his eyes, not saying anything in response, and asked directly, "You
have to tell me first, why are you so resistant to entering the Morris Group headquarters?"
I believed that he wouldn't be so childish as to sever ties with his own family's corporation just because of the conflict between him and his father. He was originally a businessman, and businessmen don't have any grudges against money and power
And I could tell that Aaron didn't resist the title of the second son of the Morris Group in his daily life. When TWH, a subsidiary of the group, urgently needed a president, he didn't refuse to go just because it was his father's wish
Only on the question of whether to enter the group headquarters for a position, Aaron initially refused with an unprecedented determination
I think if it weren't for me suddenly intervening, the attitudes between the father and son in this matter would have been completely opposite and there would have been no room for discussion
"Because I prefer our family's life in Germany," Aaron blurted out without thinking, then glanced at the lit living room inside the house, his gaze becoming even more intense. "And besides, the Morris Group already has my brother, so there's no need for me to have any connection with the company, given my abilities."
I sensed a hint of resentment in his tone, especially when he mentioned his brother. It seemed like he was blaming me for meddling in this matter
This reminds me of the day when Joe first spoke to me, and he immediately told me not to
instigate his brother's desire for the inheritance of the Morris Group
So when I spoke again, I couldn't maintain the gentle tone anymore and told Aaron directly that I wanted him to compete with Joe: "This has nothing to do with money. I know you have your own achievements, but from a family perspective, both you and Joe are parents! children. Why shouldn't you both have the opportunity to enter the company and compete for a place?"
