Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Ted’s presents were in the car, so Ted called his driver, requesting him to give them to the guards at the gate. Soon, two guards came in with the presents.

Just then, Simon and Stacy arrived.

When they saw Ted in the living room, they were both in a trance.

“Why is he here?” Simon asked Joshua. He didn’t care whether Ted would be embarrassed or not.

Harry coughed, “Ahem, Rachel and I met Mr. King outside, so we asked him to come in with us.”

Simon had met Hazel’s parents. When he was in Country Z, he often appeared in front of them. Since they invited Ted, what else could he say?NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Simon introduced them to Stacy. “Mom, these are Hazel’s parents.”

Hazel also introduced Stacy to Harry and Rachel. Harry and Rachel had heard about Stacy before. Before they arrived, Hazel told them that Stacy was getting better, so they were happy for her.

Harry and Rachel hit it off with Stacy. After brief greetings, they began to talk about raising children, and the conversation became more and more lively.

Ted’s eyes fell wistfully on Stacy. Simon at least asked Joshua why he was there, but Stacy didn’t even look at him from the moment she entered.

“What are these?” Simon picked up the mountainous pile of toys on the table.

Ted explained with nervousness, “Those are toys I bought for Randy, but I don’t know if he’ll like them.”

Hearing they were bought by Ted, Simon picked a toy up and looked at it carefully, but he looked a little speechless the next moment.

“Legos… Children between five and seven can play…” Simon’s lips twitched. “Not bad. Randy will be able to play when he is five.”

He picked up another toy and was even more speechless. “Intelligent toy robots… Applicable age, above six years old.”

Then he looked at a few more toys, but when he saw the applicable ages, he put them down.

The atmosphere in the living room grew a little strange once again. The toys Ted buys were expensive, but the minimum applicable age was three.

“Well, did you ask your subordinates to buy these toys? Did you ask them to buy toys as expensive as possible instead of selecting some toys which are suitable for a newborn baby?” Simon folded his arms and opened his mouth sarcastically.

At this point, Ted’s face turned a little pale. The truth was almost exactly like what Simon said. He had thought that as long as he was willing to spend money on the baby, he could show them his sincerity.

But now, the reality was like a slap in the face.

Harry, who was a nice guy, said. “It’s his kindness. Children grow up quickly. When Randy grows up, he can play.”

“Uncle Harry, when a man does things with sincerity, it is kindness. Some people don’t even know what sincerity is, don’t want to think carefully, or don’t want to know what a child really needs. So how can it be his kindness?” Simon showed no mercy and continued, “Did he buy all the junk and put them in the warehouse to get ashes? He acts as if Joshua doesn’t have the money to buy a toy.”

Ted grew paler and paler. Simon’s words made him extremely ashamed. “Well… I… I have something to do… I’m leaving.”

If he stayed on, Ted really wondered if he needed to bury himself.

Simon sneered. Joshua didn’t say anything but asked a servant to see Ted out.

When he reached the living room door, Ted stopped his wheelchair and turned his head around despite himself.

Stacy and Rachel were playing with the baby, Joshua was sweetly asking Hazel if she was tired, and Simon was screaming at the servants to bring the chessboard so that he could play with Harry.

Although it was noisy, their big family was very harmonious and happy. That kind of happiness almost drowned him, like the boundless sea.

Sadly, he turned away. Maybe this was a normal family model? He only knew to demand that his two sons obey him simply.

He knew he was wrong, but only now did he realize how wrong he was. He thought he was sincere enough, but the so-called sincerity was too perfunctory. He never put himself in his sons’ shoes to think about what they wanted. It seemed that there was a long way before he could completely right the wrongs. He only hoped that he could really get his family members to forgive him.

Simon was relieved that Ted had finally left.

“Joshua, do you think…” said Simon, frowning, “that he has really changed? Or do you think he’s up to something, but he wants to appease us before he does something bad?”

“You know him better. What do you think?” Joshua asked lightly.

“I don’t know either….” Simon, who felt a little embarrassed, said, “I’ve never seen him so humble. Even when he tried to deceive us before, he acted as if he had given us kindness for which we ought to be grateful!”

“… He’s really changed,” Stacy suddenly said. “At least now he knows he has to think for others, or he wouldn’t be ashamed.”

Joshua gave her a deep look, but Simon was shocked. Then, without hesitation, he asked, “Mom, your heart isn’t softened, is it? Or do you still have feelings for him?”

Hazel grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. “Simon, what are you talking about?”

Then Simon realized that he had said something wrong. He hurried to make up for it. “Mom, sorry, I didn’t mean… No matter what you choose, we’ll support your decision. If you really want to go back to the old man, we won’t be pleased, but we won’t object. The old man is not kind to us, but he is really kind to you.”

“Simon!” said Joshua in a serious tone. “Get out if you don’t know how to speak! ‘

“I won’t say anything again, brother. I just….” Simon shut up at once. His hatred of Ted was so deep-rooted in his bones that when he mentioned Ted, he couldn’t help scolding him.

“Mom, don’t listen to him,” Hazel whispered. “We don’t have a good relationship with Ted, but it’s just between him and us, and it shouldn’t affect your feelings. Over these days, you should have known clearly that you and Mr. King separated because of a misunderstanding, so whatever you want to do, we will support you.”
