Roger Scott’s words seem to carry a thorn in his side, not forgiving at all, as long as one is a little more careful one can hear that something is wrong with him.
Faced with Edward Ford’s open question, Roger Scott did not continue to beat around the bush and said, “You have used every means to imprison Elena in the Fords, what are you trying to do?”
Edward Ford grimaced, “Roger, do you want to accuse me of the same thing? We’re all in the same boat, you should know how I feel.”
“I wouldn’t have come to you today if I’d known!” Roger Scott’s face was no better, “Edward, I’ve always considered you a friend, so don’t try to deceive me, tell me what you’re getting out of this and what you’re doing it for.”
Edward Ford chuckled, “I can do more than you think, and if I don’t, Elena will never stay with me because of a Logan Brown, she can even treat me like a stranger!”
A Logan Brown was too much of a threat to him, and yet he couldn’t shake it in the slightest!
Roger Scott looked at him and shook his head, “No, it has nothing to do with Logan Brown.”
“How is it not about him, if it wasn’t for him, how come Elena never once looked at me in the eye?”
“And now what?” Roger Scott asked back, undaunted, in the face of the insistent Edward Ford.
Now?
Edward Ford clenched his hands into fists.
Roger Scott laughed, “You said Logan Brown was your stumbling block, the one who prevented you from meeting Elena, but now what? After all you’ve done, has Elena ever truly respected you as a father?”
“I ……” Edward Ford was flustered by the question.
In his heart he knew better than anyone else what Elena Bush’s answer would be, but he was afraid to say it, much less admit it.
On the contrary, the more he tried to avoid things Roger Scott had to pick out and say.
“Edward , you were wrong, wrong from the start, in the wrong way, and thinking about everything even more wrong, if this continues, Elena will never have the day to sincerely identify with you, you are not reassuring her to stay with you, you are pushing her further away!”
What he had done, in time, would not rub off on everything, it would only make Elena Bush hate him more and stay further away from him afterwards ……
Edward Ford’s forehead bruised with a flash of grim sting.
Roger Scott hadn’t missed all the reactions on his face, and when he saw him like that he knew he had hit the nail on the head, so he was pissed off.
Edward Ford raised his eyes again with a cold look in them, “Roger, I thought that because we were in the same situation, you would understand me, you would understand how I felt and why I did what I did, but I was wrong …… you never understood me at all, and you never knew what I did. never knew what I was doing all this for.”
“Why did you? Isn’t it for you to get Elena to acknowledge you as a father ?”
“No …… more than that ……” Edward Ford shook his head and hooked a smile, “Elena is the only child Joanna Lake The only child left in the world and the one she left behind for me to remember, so Elena can’t and shouldn’t go anywhere but to stay by my side!”
The grimness on his face as the last words dropped was simply impossible to ignore.
Roger Scott’s mind was stirred by a thousand things, and he looked at him with a bad feeling welling up in his heart, but he could not guess what it was about.
Edward Ford grinned at him, his eyes tinged with disappointment, “Roger, I thought we’d be friends forever, even with Logan Brown in our midst, but I was wrong. his side against me no matter what ……”
“Edward, I didn’t ……”
“Really no!?” Edward Ford’s voice went down a few notches, aggressively, “Roger, ask yourself in your own conscience, if something did happen between me and Logan Brown, whose side would you end up on?”
Roger Scott’s reply stopped short of his mouth, Edward Ford was right, there was no doubt that he was on Logan Brown’s side.
“Heh ……”
Edward Ford sneered, “See, if that’s the case, then why are you saying these hypocritical things now? For all those years, the only person who really thought of you as a friend was me! And you ……”
His eyes were full of sarcasm, and there was no trace of the sincerity of his party.
Roger Scott’s clenched hand tightened even more, but his well-manicured nails remained sharp, stabbing his palm with a pain.
The two men were silent for half a second before he spoke again, “If that’s the case, then have you ever wondered why everyone disagrees with you and won’t take your side?”
“It’s because all of them want to take my Elena away from me. They all want to take Elena away and leave me alone for the rest of my life, and more than that, they want to keep me from getting relief for the rest of my life ……”
His obsession with Joanna Lake was like a spell that no one could ever break.
Edward Ford, with a grim look on his face, looked particularly agitated at Roger Scott’s question, “Roger, do you remember what it was like to have the woman you loved once taken from you by Cornel Brown and then abandoned? And do you remember how much resentment she really held for the Browns when she died?”
“That’s enough!” Roger Scott released his grip almost helplessly and held on to the sofa, “Stop it …… no ……”
What happened back then was a nightmare for him, a nightmare from which he would never wake.
He didn’t want to hear it, but Edward Ford had to say it, just as he had just ripped open his freshly healed wounds with a sharp blade into his chest, making him feel the same heartbreaking pain.
“Roger …… don’t you forget that it was the Browns who wronged her, you knew it, you knew it all and now why are you still helping the Browns, helping Logan Brown! or will she resent your meddling? Or will she resent you for meddling in her affairs?”
Edward Ford came closer to him as he spoke, his fierce face looking more and more like a demon.
He grinned broadly, his ghostly gaze sweeping up at him, and the final blow hit him hard immediately afterwards.
“Roger Scott, admit it, you hate the Browns yourself, stop talking about how you love Logan Brown, a child born to the woman you love and another man who doesn’t even carry your blood, who are you to say you love? And who are you to protect him!?”
