Chapter 412

Frank was quite unreasonable.

I looked at him and said, “Stop making a fuss.”

As Jack mentioned, whether it was during college or two years ago, he was the one who helped me through it. If he hadn’t saved me two years ago, gone to great lengths to find ma doctor, and introduced me to teachers, helping me achieve a sense of accomplishment in my career, I wouldn’t have recovered from depression so quickly.

I couldn’t repay him in terms of feelings, but I should remember his kindness. Moreover, Jack had specially brought Dilan over for me today.

Frank seemed to ignore what I said, not loosening his grip at all. I felt helpless and heard Jack say, “It’s okay. You stay and have dinner with them.”

With that, he changed his shoes, turned, and left.

As the door closed, I felt a pang of guilt. I suddenly pulled away from Frank’s hand and said, “Are you satisfied now?”

“Pretty satisfied.” Frank scrutinized me, his meaning unclear. “Are your angry?”

Considering Danny was present and his condition, I shook my head and replied softly, “No, let’s eat.”

With that, I sat back down and continued eating in silence.

After the meal, he glanced at me. “Are you angry that I didn’t let you see him off?”

“I’ve already told you, I’m not angry.”

“If you’re not angry, then why are you not talking?”

“I don’t have anything to say. Why would anyone keep talking for no reason?”

He scoffed, “He personally Insulted you, and you’re not angry with him. Are you angry with me just because I didn’t let you see him off?”

“I’m not….” I pursed my lips. “It’s just that Jack has really helped me a lot. I don’t want to be rude.”

“And me?” asked Frank.

“Uncle…” Danny, lounging on the lazy sofa and patting his belly, spoke in a small voice, “Don’t be jealous. Charlotte said that he was a guest, and you’re family.”

Frank frowned at me. “Really?”

I couldn’t be bothered to answer such a question.

“It’s true. That guy heard it too,” Danny answered cheerfully. He then tugged at his shirt hem and, acting like a little adult, said, “Uncle, do you know how my dad got divorced?”

“Isn’t it because he’s old–fashioned ?” asked Frank.

“No.”

“Then what is it?”

“It’s because he, like you, doesn’t know how to talk,” Danny said with a sigh. “It’s normal that Charlotte doesn’t like people like this. Girls like guys who can make them happy.”

I couldn’t help but laugh, seeing Frank pinch Danny’s face. “Who told you all this?”

“No one told me.”

Danny tilted his little head. “It’s just that every time Dad says something

nasty. Mom gets unhappy. I can see things you know!”

“You little rascal!” Frank laughed and scolded.

Danny blinked his big eyes, seizing the opportunity while Frank was in a good mood, and asked, ‘Uncle, can I sleep at Charlotte’s house tonight?

want to sleep with Charlotte and listen to her bedtime stories.

Frank glanced at me. “This needs to be approved by Charlotte.

“But Charlotte said it’s up to you.

“Is that so.” Frank’s lips curved slightly, and he gestured towards the bathroom. “If you can bathe by yourself, you can sleep at Charlotte’s

house.”

“Yay!” Danny was thrilled and dashed into the bathroom.

He was even singing a bath song.

Soon, the sound of running water was heard..

I bent down to pick up the drawing board to work on the balcony when suddenly, Frank’s index finger hooked my right pinky from behind.

The man gently shook my finger and said in a low voice, “Am I really family?”

My heart was bracing, but my anger hadn’t dissipated. I said, “Both of you are my friends.”

“Friends?” He scoffed, “You’re going to say we’re just friends?”

I fell silent, looking at his sharply defined face. “Then what do you think we are?”

‘Fiance and fiancee?’

How many years ago was that engagement? Who remembered it besides him?

Just as Jack said, the Smith family wouldn’t allow me to marry into their family. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been the incident two years ago.

But at that moment, I looked at him without blinking and felt a hint of expectation.

His long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his beautiful eyes looked at me. “It depends on you, Charlotte. You owe me an explanation for what happened two years ago.”

“Your father came to see me.” I took a deep breath and explained, “I had no other choice.”

Back then, I was much more ordinary in the face of power. I had no means of resistance.

Moreover, it involved dragging Frank into the mire and making him pay for my choices.

Frank frowned, then sneered, “Is this why you remained silent and continued to be Mrs. Frost for two years? If I’m not mistaken, you went back for less than a month before I had my accident.”

I had anticipated that he wouldn’t easily believe such a reason.

I took a deep breath and said, “Actually, I wasn’t with the Frost family. I just forgot to take my phone when I left the Frost family.”

“So where did you go? What did you do?”

Hearing this, I clenched my fists, unsure how to respond.

He always managed to get to the crux of things.

1 shouldn’t have thought I could get away with this.

Suddenly, Frank released my hand and said coldly, “You weren’t with Jack during those two years, were you?”

I was slightly taken aback, surprised by his quick reaction.

He chuckled, his voice gravelly. “So I’m not even considered an alternate option?”
