Chapter 535 An Old Woman in Love

Shouting herself hoarse, Mrs. Henderson cried out, "Jakub would have still been living safe and sound if it were not for the man! It was he, and all of them, who killed my son!"

Louie smoothed Mrs. Henderson's hair and said, "It's time to try to let it go, mother. You know you should take good care of yourself — we need you to take care of yourself, I need you to take care of yourself."

With her head up, Mrs. Henderson looked up at Louie with tears streaming down along her cheeks.

Finally, she reached out her arms to hold Louie in her embrace, and burst into tears.

A while later, Ryan went upstairs, walked passed the room of Mrs. Henderson and casted a glimpse inside.

Louie was padding her mother's back as if to a child, and the sniffles of Mrs. Henderson, in a trance, had already grown dim.

With a face betraying nothing, the old man turned around and left afterwards.

It was not until the figure of the old man had totally faded away that Louie turned to the doorway and looked outside.

She supported her mother to her bed, covered her up with a quilt, and then headed to the room of her father's room with slow and light footsteps.

The door of Tomas's room was kept open previously all the time in case of any unwanted situation happening.

However, this time, when she stood before the place, she found that the door was half closed, and the old man was talking to his own son inside.

Possibly, the old man should have been talking to him with big theories and great truths for a while, and no response was heard from Tomas.

At the end, the old man heaved a sigh, and said, "Things would be different if Louie were to marry Marshall."

"Ah." Sounded Tomas.

With a cold voice, Ryan continued, "Indeed, things would be different if the two were to marry."

At a loss, Tomas pondered, and then answered with a simple yes.

His voice sounded hoarse — obviously, he was still suffering from the aftershock of his son's death.

Then, Ryan added, "I could see that you have actually lowered your expectations and demands on your daughter when she was engaged with Marshall. And when you chose to exact demands on her again, it was just because of that Marshall had married someone else — I think it is due to that you became indecisive to draw a conclusion about whether Louie's husband in the future could help Jakub on his business or not."

Standing by the doorway, Louie knitted her brows, and thought that what the old man was saying sounded more like a bunch of grumblings against Marshall — or against his marriage with someone else other than Louie.

Sometimes, one's mind could be blindfolded if he was shocked by an unwanted incident, and this was exactly correct for the old man.

Tomas remained silent.

The old man continued, "Jakub don't deserve this. Now, we have lost one of the Hendersons' major heirs, and that means a huge loss to our company."

Hearing that, Tomas heaved a sigh with sobs.

As if he was muttering to himself, the old man sighed, "If only Marshall had stayed conscious and persistent, things would be different for our family."

Seemingly identifying with what his father said, Tomas heaved a yes.

In fact, he had just been speaking glowingly of the prosperous future of the whole family with Khalid yesterday.

If ever, Marshall were to marry Louie, he would definitely reach out his helping hand to Jakub, and with the help of this young bigwig, Jakub would therefore be able to lead the whole Hendersons' company to a brand new peak.

This was the blueprint that had long been designed in their mind from the beginning of the engagement between Marshall and Louie.

However, no one had ever expected that Katherine would break in halfway.

Louie didn't want to listen to their impudent talkings anymore — they were both shocked to become narrow-minded and unconscious.

Then, she turned around and headed back to her own room.

On the other hand, Katherine and Kyle were accompanying Hector to his car.

Although he was leaving for the same reason again, something seemed to have changed compared to the last time.

Hector stared at Katherine for a while, and laughed, "I guess I will see the little one when we meet next time."

Knitting her brows, Katherine responded with a smile as well, "Come on! You know we can meet with each other whenever we want."

However, if ever, Hector succeeded in starting out as a singer, his days would possibly be filled with plans and schedules arranged by the agency, which meant that no one could tell when they could meet each other.

Kyle padded at Hector's shoulder and said, "Strive hard, my man! Go and get yourself a champion place to shock those bastards of your family!"

With the corner of his mouth lifted, Hector answered, "I will do my best."

At the end, when Hector was about to get in his car, Kyle asked, "Have you mom ever contacted you? You're now such a headline to some extent, and it is possible that she has already seen you on television."

Stopped, Hector looked back at him and nodded, "Yes, she has contacted me, but merely told me to be concentrative and calm in the show. Also, she told me to feel at ease in the face of any results."

Kyle sighed with emotion, "Well, she does care about you, doesn't she?"

Hector hummed, "Yes, and I'm going to visit her once the show is over."

Soon, it was time for him to set off. Finally, Hector fell his eyes on Katherine's slightly pendulous tummy, "I leaving now. Just take good care of yourself."

Somehow, his words made Katherine feel grieved inside.

Everything now was quite the same as the last time he left for a show.

The only thing different was that he was filled with hope at that time.

As Hector drove away, Katherine and Kyle stood on the same spot silently for quite a while.

With a click of his tongue, Kyle said, "It's actually good if you can be together with Hector."

Casting a disdainful sideway look at him, Katherine said, "Drop dead, you fool."

After all, she had her own choice.

The two then went back to the club of Kyle. No sooner had they sat down tight than Kyle's phone rang.

The conversation was rather unclear, and Katherine could only tell that something went wrong from the strained expression on Kyle face.

Jumping up from the sofa in a rage, Kyle cursed and said he was going to kill all of them.

Katherine looked up at him and said, "Just do what you have to do. I'm OK to stay here alone."

With a simple nod, Kyle left in a hurry without saying anything.

Staying alone in Kyle's club without hearing from Kyle for quite a long time, Katherine hadn't expected that it would ever take so long for him to deal with his own business.

Then, Katherine gave Frances a call and asked her if she wanted to come to the club and play mahjong.

With a pleasant tone, Frances said she was on her way.

Katherine bantered, "You sounded like a young girl in love."

Frances retorted with a laugh, "Stop it, girl! I'm far too old for that." All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Katherine chuckled, "Then, how about an old woman in love?"
