-Don’t worry, there’s nothing special on my part, take care of Jack and yourself-.
But Yanis couldn’t help but mutter.
-You’re lying, would you call Rachel out of the blue without special circumstances?
-I sought her out only because she was Kennedy’s relative and I wanted her to stimulate his memory along with her, nothing more.
This statement, on the contrary, made Yanis half-hearted, -Really? That’s it?
-Is that the only way to do it, or do you have a better idea? -Alice sighed.
-Nothing…
They chatted for a while about family matters, and Yanis couldn’t resist asking,
-Soon it will be Christmas, are you sure you don’t want to go back and spend it with your Jack, get together or something?
Hearing this, Alice’s heart was a little moved.
She would like to go back, there isn’t a mother under the sun who doesn’t miss her children, but …… today she couldn’t even tell if there would be any changes, but seeing that Yanis always asked, she could only reassure herself.
-See how it goes then, if I’m allowed, I’ll find time to come back?
Before she had always flatly refused, but now she said something different, and Yanis instantly thought that maybe things were going quite well on Alice’s side, so wouldn’t it be good if she took Jack with her when she had Christmas Eve?
-Well, Jack and I and your brother will be waiting for your good news -with that in mind, Yanis said.
-Okay.
***
Carlos family.
-Where did he go?
After Kennedy’s entrance, all the servants in the living room were called by Jorge and he was the only one sitting on the couch.
As soon as Kennedy walked through the door, he threw out a cold question.
Kennedy took a step back, remembering the time he had spent with Alice, and thinking about what had been said over the phone about Jorge.
It sounded like a lie. Kennedy pursed his thin lips and approached the old man with a firm step.
-Grandfather.
-Do you still know I’m your grandfather? -Jorge scoffed.
Kennedy pursed his lips and kept silent.
-Where the hell have you been? These last few days I thought you were working late at the office, but when I asked today, I found out you left work every day on time, where were you staying?
-I’m an adult, even if I don’t stay at the company and work overtime, I still have my own life. can I only live at home, other than in the office?
-If you live at home, don’t you want to spend more time with me? -Jorge grunted.
To be honest, Kennedy didn’t feel anything for the grandfather in front of him. Although when he opened his eyes he told himself it was his grandfather, and it instilled some memories and he believed it.
But Kennedy wasn’t even close to him, especially when he was trying to get his grandson to marry Zoe.
Kennedy just wanted to get away from him.
-Besides, I can understand, as young people, you don’t want to spend more time with older people like me, but Zoe is such a nice girl, she was raised by the Espinar family since she was a little girl, how can you turn her away?
At the mention of Zoe, Kennedy’s eyes turned colder and his tone was stern.
-So you want me not to be interested in her, but I’m still with her?
-You brat, do you know how to talk or not? Shut up if you can’t talk.
Kennedy was silent.
-What do you mean by that? You’re not interested, it’s because you haven’t figured out how good Zoe is, what’s wrong with her? She’s pretty and speaks several languages, with her professionalism, as long as you’re with her, she’ll be very useful for your career in the future.
Kennedy continued silently.
-Say something!
-Didn’t you tell me to shut up? -Kennedy grimaced.
Jorge almost got angry with him and covered his chest, “Brat, I think you want to make me angry before you give up.
He sighed as he flashed a look of pain.
Kennedy helplessly reached up and pinched his aching temples.
-When I was called just now, didn’t he say you had gone to your room? Why did you come back down now?
Hearing this, George realized he had been exposed and hurried to sit up straight.
-What? If I don’t say so, do you still know how to go home?
-Grandpa, I’m not getting engaged to Zoe.
-What are you talking about? I arranged the best marriage for you, if you look back, only Zoe’s family and character are worthy of you, do you want to die alone if you don’t marry her?
Die alone?
No.
Kennedy remembered the look on Alice’s face and the hostile gesture between his brows dissipated a little.
-Anyway, I won’t commit myself to her, no matter how much you say so, and I don’t need to depend on a woman for a career. If Grandfather thinks I have to depend on a woman to cement the career, then you can find a new heir.
Kennedy could not be interested in those millions of dollars.
Jorge froze, staring in disbelief at the Kennedy before him, just after he uttered those words with an indifferent expression, as if he had seen another figure.
The figure was small, his shoulders were thin but his back was straight, his voice was soft but strong.
-I will not commit myself to that man, no matter how many times you say it, I said no and I will not. Dad, if you force your daughter to marry someone she doesn’t love, I’d rather die in front of you right now.
At that moment, Jorge was so angry at her last words that he almost shed tears.
-Silly girl, could I have hurt you? I let you get engaged to him for the sake of your future as well, you don’t have a brother or a younger brother, in the future this Carlos family is all yours!
-If you can’t let me be with the person I like, I don’t even want all the Carlos family property even if you give it to me. Besides, I am capable of handling all this on my own, why should I depend on others?
That was how Kennedy’s mother, his daughter Rosa, said these words in front of him back then.
Little did she know that a few years later, her son would have exactly the same temperament as she did.
What kind of sin was this?
Thinking of Rosa, the expression in the eyes of Jorge’s face instantly aged a lot, sometimes they think just let the child go, anyway, he is old too, he really can’t handle it.
But thinking that he was indeed getting old, and did not expect to have many years left to live, he felt more strongly that he could not let them go on like this.
He also often regretted not having stopped Rosa back then, otherwise his precious daughter Rosa would not have died.
Thinking about this, Jorge was even more determined not to let it get out of hand.
