Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Violet came back to her senses after staring at Jack’s back before hurrying to catch up. “Hey, when are you letting my mother go?” This was what she cared the most about. Jack did not even turn his head. “It’s not the time yet.” “Then how long until it’s time?” she asked anxiously. He remained silent and did not answer her. Jack stood at the top of the stairs with both hands in his pockets before sauntering down the stairs one step at a time. He looked like a king who had dominated everything. The entire mansion suddenly became incomparably bright. The light reached every corner! Violet stretched her arms out to block her eyes. Slowly, she opened her eyes again and looked around. The phrase ‘as bright as daylight’ would be the perfect description of such a place and scene, would it not? It was only after she had gown down the stairs that she discovered the sun had set by looking at the courtyard. Did that mean the lights in this mansion had been specially designed to adjust themselves automatically, according to his sight? He probably would not be able to see if it were slightly darker. What on earth was this sickness of his? Could there really be such a strange illness in this world?

Violet followed him from behind closely. She could not help but feel for him as she watched his tall and slender figure. To think that the president of the Yancey Group, a man with the entire business world at his beck and call, with a position of unparalleled power- had such a strange illness. Perhaps G od had always been fair? There must be something predestined to be taken away from you in exchange for what had been given. In an instant, Violet felt sympathetic towards him. He did not have many friends because he had to cover up this problem with his eyes, did he? He was a lonely man.

After they had gone downstairs, Jack suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around. Their eyes met coincidentally and he saw the look of sympathy in her eyes. Violet looked away and hurriedly returned to her normal expression, standing quietly behind him. “Mr. Yancey, Miss Yeager. Dinner is ready.” At that moment, Zoey came out from the kitchen. Jack turned away, breaking the awkward moment. They walked towards the dining hall. Violet walked on eggshells; she must not offend him for her mother’s sake. This was a man she had to butter up. The atmosphere at dinner was peaceful. There were no arguments or bickering, simply because they did not interact at all. That same night, the stars filled the skies, where the bright moon hung up high. Yeager Villa was well-illuminated by its lights. A lavish dinner had been laid out on the table in the dining room. However, there was nobody there to enjoy it. The atmosphere in the living room was piercing and tense. Beryl Yeager’s lone figure was kneeling before the coffee table, stifling her so bs as much as she could, not daring to make a sound or to look up. There were broken shards and dregs from a tea set on the floor all around her. A lot of it had been thrown at her body before falling to where they were now. “Idiot!” Theo slammed the table and stood up. “What a- a mo ron!” he looked daggers at his daughter. His anger was uncontrollable. “The whole world knows you’re dead! What right do you have to come back and waste the air here? How dare you come back?” “Dad, I’m sorry…” Beryl’s voice was shaking. “What use is ‘sorry’?” All the humiliation he felt was turning into wrath. “Can it solve all our problems?” Yvette West, dressed in voguish apparel, was so shocked that she dared not even breathe out loud. She stood by the coffee table. All she could do was watch her daughter anxiously; her heart broke for her but she did not have the courage to speak 1/2

If she were to protect her daughter, he would be more furious and might even kick her out of the house together with her daughter. “Dad!” Beryl’s face was wet with tears as she looked up at him, saying dejectedly, “The Yanceys’ mansion is haunted, there are horrible noises coming out from there every night. Two ser vants have died there under mysterious circumstances, I don’t want to die…” “You don’t want to die, so you’d rather I die? You’d rather the Yeager Group die?” Theo looked as though he wanted to murder her. Losing control, he took up a landline phone and raised it up. “Those are just rumors! All you have to do is mind your own business if you marry Jack, you couldn’t die even if you wanted to! You st upid fool! Jack Yancey doesn’t live at the old manor anyway! Why are you such a coward! Why is your brain so useless?!” “Ah-“This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
