Logan took her hand back, the vigilance under his eyes was something no one could ignore, “Elena, let’s go.”
Elena nodded, but Edward spoke up just in time, “Logan, you tried everything to prevent us from meeting, and now that we’ve met, you’re insisting on taking her away, what the hell else do you want!”
“To saw her?” Logan sneered and asked rhetorically, “Even if you saw her, so what, what can you do? What do you want to do?”
Cornel looked at his imperious attitude, his heart filled with a strong displeasure, “Logan, is this the way you treat your elders?”
“What kind of elders are you if you are disrespectful for your old age?”
“You!”
George could not resist pounding on the ground immediately with his cane, “Enough! What is this mess you are making, what do you want to do!?”
“Grandpa George,” Elena glanced at George carefully.
“Here I am the biggest, and also the one with the biggest seniority, naturally, I also have the say!” George’s voice was as deep as a bell, with a calmness that people could not ignore.
Elena’s heart also followed and stabilized, “Grandpa George, what do you want to say, then say it.”
George shook his head, “It’s not what I want to say, it’s what you want to say.”
George’s gaze was sharp, “Elena, I may be old, but I have clear eyes, between you and Mr. Ford, is there something to say?”
“I don’t.”
“I have something to say!”
Edward snatched the words, Elena immediately looked at him, but found that the man also kept staring straight at her.
Inexplicably, her even shuddered along with it and hugged Logan’s hand tightly.
“Don’t be afraid.” Logan patted the back of her hand and smiled.
Elena nodded, between the two, as if isolated from all others, no one close, and no one can approach.
Edward looked at him with hatred in his eyes, “Logan, do you want me to tell you all the things you did in front of your father and your grandfather!”
“I have nothing to fear, you just say it.” He thought to himself, not having done anything to hurt The Browns.
Elena looked at the two confronting each other, and the hands hanging at the sides clenched.
Half a second later, she slowly walked out from behind Logan, “Mr. Ford, the person you want to talk to, is me, right?”
“Elena, I won’t allow it!” The man had a grim face, with disapproval written all over it.
Elena smiled slightly, “I’m fine, just saying a few words, as for what else to say, I don’t think it should be brought up either.”
That being said, Logan was reluctant to agree to anything.
Elena jerked her hand out, “I’m really fine.”
Saying that, she quickly turned her face to Edward in the foyer, “Mr. Ford, let’s find a place to talk.”
In the Browns’ courtyard, the maid quickly served refreshments and then quickly retired.
Elena took a sip of tea until she put it down, and only then did she raise her eyes to Edward, “Mr. Ford must have thought of a lot of ways to see me, so just say what you have.”
After all, this is probably the last time.
Edward held his hand somewhat nervously, his hands tightly entwined, just like his state of mind at the moment.
“Elena ……”
Elena parted her face, “Mr. Ford, we don’t know each other very well, if you can, I hope you can call me Miss Bush, or, Mrs. Browns.”
Edward’s face was blue, “What did you say!”
Elena raised her eyebrows, “What, did Mr. Ford not understand? Or do you think that’s not good?”
“Of course not!” Edward slapped the table in anger, “Elena, I’m your father, your closest relative in the world, how can you even disown me?”
“You’re not.” Elena shook her head calmly, having guessed that he would have this to say, “Mr. Ford, if you are delusional, I suggest you wake up and not say you are your daughter when you meet people, I don’t have a father, only a mother who has left this world.”
“Elena, don’t do this, don’t you refuse me ……” Edward covered his face in pain and buried it in his hands.
Elena stared intently and watched, without any reaction, and there was even less of a ripple in her heart.
Edward finished catharsis, slowly raised his head to look at her, to meet her at this time that familiar face, but the person’s eyes, but it was always said, she did not know him.
“Elena, look at me, take a good look at me, I am Edward, I am your father ah!”
“That’s enough!”
Elena interrupted him, “Mr. Ford, I don’t want us to keep repeating this.”
“No, I just want to make it up to you, I don’t mean anything else.”
“In that case, let me also make it clear, I don’t need you to make it up to me, I’m living a good life, I don’t lack anything, much less feel like I need anything, so ……”
Her words did not finish, just the meaning of the words is extraordinarily obvious.
Edward opened his mouth, and the words that had reached his lips were hardened.
“Heh ……” he laughed lowly, reaching up to wipe the tears from his face, “Is it because of Logan?”
“No.”
“Why not! It’s clearly him!” He raised his head abruptly, his eyes scarlet, “If it wasn’t him, how could you have disowned me, how could you have rejected me!”
Elena listened to his words and chills followed in her heart.
“Mr. Ford, you see, now you have no thought at all that it is your own problem, you clearly did not reflect on ……”
“Why should I reflect? I have lost you for more than twenty years, now is it so difficult to bring you home? Even, you don’t even want to say one more word to me about you.”
Elena shook her head and smiled slightly, “Mr. Ford, do you know why I don’t need you anymore?”
Edward gazed over in confusion.
Elena kindly smiled, the tears flooding her eyes obstinately did not fall, “For more than twenty years, the whole twenty years, I have never seen a glimpse of you, even, for more than twenty years grew up in the Bushs, and I have never received a bit of love from my father.”
“Elena ……”
“You were never there when I needed you most, and now that I’m doing well, I don’t need anything, I have a new family, my love, and even ……” a small hand on her belly, a relieved face “I also have a new expectation, so I just want you to leave my life alone.”
“Your new life should be mine! It has to be me!” Edward shook his head, unable to listen to anything.
With that, he even went up to her in excitement and held her hand tightly, too tight for her to pull away.
