Chapter 495
Chapter 495 A Family of Four
Mr. Morris's words came out one by one, and Aaron's expression gradually relaxed along with them
And I also, because of his final thank you, suddenly understood the significance of why we are standing here today and explaining everything clearly
Family feuds, father and son fighting each other, 1s it really necessary to fight to the death and determine who wins and who loses?
No, at least I know that Aaron never thought that way from the beginning to the end
I knew how much he longed for a normal family, how he yearned for the family to return
to peace after the struggle, so that the children wouldn't have to live in a household where the elders all had their own hidden agendas
The opportunity is right in front of us now, and I think we should finally trust Mr. Morris one last time, setting aside all our prejudices against him and simply treating him as a father
Just as Joe said to Maria in court, only after she paid the price for everything she had done, could he follow his instincts and see her as a mother worthy of love
And at this moment, Mr. Morris probably could be considered to have paid the price for the things he missed out on
He was even about to lose his life
So... I tugged at Aaron's sleeve and nodded at
him
"I promise you, we will always live in New York from now on and come back to visit you with the children every week. As long as... as long as you can rest and recover, father."
I originally thought that the two brothers would destroy the old Morris defense line with some sophisticated business planning, but I didn't expect that in the end, what made him shed tears and bow his head in apology was just Aaron's heartfelt words "father"
The resentment of many past years seemed to become less important at this moment, as long as old Morris was willing to become a true, considerate father from now on for his children and grandchildren, then everything would be fine
I stood beside Aaron and nodded in agreement with his statement: "If father doesn't mind the noise, we will also bring the children to stay at the estate for a period of time during future holidays."
Old Morris was happy about it, and out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Joe, who also seemed to have a slight change in expression
He probably didn't expect that, after learning everything, I would still be willing to voluntarily propose to come back to live
But I knew that I would never grow apart from him because of what happened today, and neither would Aaron
Because even though Joe's feelings were ruthlessly exposed in front of everyone today, it
was not his intention. He never once used this feeling to manipulate or harass me from beginning to end
From the very beginning, Joe made up his mind to keep his feelings for me to himself and not to disturb me with such emotions
But today, due to special circumstances, it had to be made clear that it was not just me who felt anxious and uneasy
So I think I shouldn't distance myself from Joe because of this. I will still treat him like a brother, just like every time we have interacted before. I won't deliberately get close to him, nor will I deliberately avoid him. Perhaps this is also a way to show respect to him
And so, the whole thing was surprisingly handled smoothly
The next day, old Morris, in his capacity as the highest executive, held the final shareholders! meeting of Morris Group and announced the transfer of the authority for all affairs to his eldest son, Joe
Aaron did not come, but as one of the major shareholders, I attended the meeting on time
I saw with my own eyes as Mr. Morris stood up from the middle of the conference table and invited his son Joe to come forward. Through the smiles of the father and son, I witnessed the presence of warmth for the first time
In this towering skyscraper, Old Morris, for the first time as a father, told everyone in the conference room to be more tolerant of Joe's shortcomings as a young person when they work with him in the future. Of course, today he also praised Joe more than once, saying that Joe is
the most outstanding and hardworking manager among the young people he has ever seen
In just a few days, he really changed
It became unfamiliar to me, but it also became a relief
For the next few days, the Morris family would be happy and peaceful
After the meeting, Aaron had already returned from GHY Group and was waiting for me downstairs to go to Cinder's place together to pick up the children
Everything returned to normal, and the four of us returned to my not-so-big apartment. I also felt a sense of peace like never before
Especially when Molly and Jasmin call out "papa, mama" with their sweet but not quite
accurate pronunciation, I feel that all the hardships of the past are not so sad anymore
Since I have decided to permanently reside in New York in the future, planning for my career has also been put on the agenda
