Chapter 960 An Opportunity for Penance
Atwood stared at George, “Why are you so insistent? Why do I feel that you're trying to scheme against Stanford?”
“You don't arbitrate the righteous one by your petty-minded!” George's anger immediately exploded, and he seriously suspected
that Stanford so badly disliked them, all because of Atwood.
What Atwood had said was all aimed at George and his parents.
George wanted to make it up with Stanford, but Atwood treated it as a scheme.
“I'm not as deep as you are,” George snorted.
Atwood shouted at the security guard.
George grabbed Atwood by his wrist, “Are you alright? Why are you always calling security?”
“Please get away from here!” Atwood looked at him coldly and did not move, “You better let go of me, or I'll sue you for
intentional assault.”
George was speechless.
Stanford said in a deep voice, “Enough,” he raised his head to look at George, “Go home and tell your parents that I have
nothing to say with them.”
“No,” George let go of Atwood, crouched in front of Stanford, and said, “My mother knew that she was wrong. I knew that she did
not treat you well at all in the past. But everyone will do something wrong. Can't people be forgiven for being wrong?”
His words inexplicably touched Stanford's heart. Are people who made mistakes not deserving to be forgiven?
He thought of the mistakes he had made.
Would Amanda be like him, refuse to forgive, or even refuse to give him a chance to do penance?
“Give us a chance to be good as a family, can't we?” George saw that Stanford began to waver, and he continued to say.
“As long as you go home with me today, I promise, I'll never appear in front of you again in the future if you don't like it,” George
said sincerely.
Stanford looked at him for two seconds and said, “Alright.”
Atwood looked at Stanford incredulously, “Mr. James...”
Stanford raised his hand, “Atwood, stop saying anything. You can go home first.”
Stanford wanted to give himself a chance.
George smiled happily, “Thank you. I'll help you to get into the car.”
Atwood helped to set up a pedal between the ground and the car so that George could wheel the wheelchair into the car.
“Mr. James, feel free to contact me if anything happens.”
Stanford nodded.
George closed the car door and growled in a low voice at Atwood, “Don't think you're the only kind person in the world. Although
Stanford and I are not born of the same mother, we have the same father. How would I harm him?”
Atwood ignored him, turned around, and left.
George got into the car.
He fastened his seatbelt, started the car, and said, “My mother knew she was wrong. I came here today because she begged me
to come to you, and she wants to make it up with you and apologize to you for what happened in the past.”
Stanford did not show any expression. He was no longer taking the previous affairs to heart. Stanford did not want to have any
contact with them. It might be because he had no good memories when they spent time together in the past.
All his memories were unfortunate.
George assured him with conviction, “Please believe me this time. We sincerely want to make it up with you.”
George was reluctant to go to Stanford at first, but Alyssa begged him and said she sincerely wanted to apologize to Stanford.
She wanted George to take Stanford home.
“My mom went out to get groceries in the morning and said she wanted to cook for you herself,” George did not care whether
Stanford was willing to listen or not, and he continued his words.
Stanford did not respond to him, nor did he believe Alyssa would change her character to be kind.
Alyssa did not get any benefit last time at the hospital. The reason Alyssa showed him goodwill this time was probably still
something that wanted George to work at his company.
Stanford had been living together with Alyssa under the same roof for so many years. He knew better her character and what
kind of person she was than her son, George.
Stanford did not need Alyssa's gesture of goodwill and did not need her penance as well.
The main reason he would agree to George to go back to the house was because of himself.
He hurt Amanda and caused her to lose the child. These were all because of himself. He wanted to change himself.
Besides that, Stanford went back to the house was because of George.
Although George was a little jerk, he did not have a wicked idea as Alyssa, and Stanford knew it. Stanford was not willing to have
any contact with George just because George was Alyssa's son.
Soon the car came to a halt.
George got out of the car and walked to the rear door to open it, “I'll help you.”
He wheeled Stanford and got out of the car.
“Did the doctor say when your foot injury will be better?”
“After two months,” Stanford said.
“Will there be any sequela from that?” George asked again.
He was really caring about Stanford.
Stanford replied briefly, “No.”
“That's good. You can ask me for help if you have any situation in the future, as long as I can do it,” George said, and then he
hastened to add, “I'm not trying to get something from you. I'm just...”
“I know. You don't need to explain,” Stanford interrupted him, “You don't have a proper job, and you're going to keep idle like
this?”
“You know I used to like to play around and didn't study properly. It's difficult for me to find a job since I've no diploma,” George
wheeled him towards the house, “I still want to be idle and play around for two more years.”
“I'll send you to study abroad if you're willing to go to study,” Stanford said with the tone of an elder brother, “You're not young,
and you'll ruin your life if you continue to be idle like this. Go and study.”
Stanford suddenly changed his attitude, and it caused the tears to come into George's eyes instantly. George pretended to be
relaxed, “I'm still looking young, haha.”
Stanford did not ask him to answer immediately and said, “You think it over.”
“Alright,” George readily agreed.
They arrived at the door, and George stepped forward, “I'll open the door.”
When he opened the door, Alyssa was preparing the dinner, was aware of movement, and poked her head out of the kitchen to
look at the door. When she saw George was wheeling Stanford into the house, she immediately showed a smile and walked over
to them, “You've come.”
Stanford was silent.
George knew that Stanford felt awkward within himself and said, “Is the dinner ready? I'm hungry.”
“Are you indeed that hungry, only know to eat? Go and wash your hands. The dinner is ready.”
George wheeled Stanford to the bathroom.
Soon they went out of the bathroom and went to the dining table.
Alyssa placed the last dish, “I don't know if it's to your liking. I remember you liked braised eggplant when you were a kid. I made
it for you today.”
She put the dish of braised eggplant in front of Stanford.
Stanford did not show any expression and did not start eating.
Alyssa did not felt awkward and continued to say, “Stanford, I apologize to you for the past and also the hospital matter last time.
When you were injured, we didn't care about you and just wanted to benefits from you. These are all my fault.”
After saying that, she winked at Enoch, her husband, and wanted him to speak something.
Enoch thought he did not have the dignity as a father in front of his son, and he was still upset about what happened in the
hospital last time. He thought Stanford had disrespected him.
He put a false smile, “I may have spoken too harshly last time.”
Stanford remained silent.
Alyssa hurriedly smoothed things over, “Stanford, just ignore your father.”
Enoch heard her words saying that it was like all his fault, and he immediately widened his eyes and stared at Alyssa.
