The daughter of an enemy.
Edward’s gaze deepened a bit, standing woodenly beside Old Mr. Henderson for a long time without making a sound.
Perhaps he simply did not know what to do, or perhaps did not know how to answer.
“Talk.”
The old man stared at him with a torch-like gaze and questioned in an aggravated voice.
The man’s hand hanging at his side clenched, slightly raised his chin, coldly said: “For a murderer who is still my mother, even if it is the daughter of the murderer, I will never condone. But killing a person directly is not the best way, so why not keep it for slow torture?”
He threw down the gauntlet, word for word.
“Slow torture?”
The old man’s scrutinizing gaze looked him up and down and did not believe Edward’s words. “Why do I feel rather like you are staying around? Edward, don’t tell me that you are really in love with her.”
“No way!”
His voice just fell, Edward directly vetoed.
“As I said, there will never be children with me. But my child needs her own mother, and the best way to get back at someone is to make her suffer slowly to get relief.”
A statement that even Edward himself did not believe.
The old man was naturally even more disbelieving.
“Is this true?”
“When it’s true.”
Edward Chopper.
“Yes!!!”
Old Mr. Henderson nodded and nodded fervently, “Not bad for an heir of my the Henderson Family, with a backbone.”
Listening to the tone of voice, it seems to have believed Edward’s words, also makes Edward relieved.
But the next words of Old Mr. Henderson put his heart back in his throat.
He said, “In that case, sit down and watch a good show.”
“Watching the show?”
“Yes. I had a master calculate the day, said the child born today is the auspicious time, conducive to the child’s future development, will be able to strengthen my the Henderson Family, so let people take the woman to the labor. I believe that in a few hours, the old man will have a grandchild.”
Sitting at the table, the old man told the truth.
At that moment, Edward’s pupils widened and his fists tightened a few points.
“No way!”
Emotionally, I couldn’t help but retort.
“Hmm? ~!”
Old Mr. Henderson ‘ummed’ and stretched his voice, the goblet he had lifted was at his lips, but he stopped and looked sideways at him.
“I … just don’t think a child born by hypnobirthing is as healthy as a child born naturally. Where is her person? Immediately tell the doctor to stop. How can my child be born by hypnobirthing? How can it be great in the future when it needs help before it even hits the ground?”
The reason for the letter, whether it is justified or not, Edward said it all.
“The hypospray has been given, it’s too late to say anything now.”
The old man drained his glass of wine, perhaps because of the strong nature of white wine, he ‘ha’, put down the wine goblet, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.
“Sit down and eat together.”
The old man who chewed his meal carefully and slowly was just a bashful look regardless of what kind of expression Edward actually had or whether he was angry or not.
Then pointing to a side seat, Edward was told to sit down and eat.
Edward stood there for a long, long time, his mind turning a hundred times to consider the situation at hand.
It was only when the old man shot a ruthless look over that he stepped forward, moved his chair and sat down.
The old man poured a glass of white wine for him, “Usually you are busy at work and have no time for me, an old man. Today, we have a drink with our grandfather and grandson.”
With that, he raised his glass and handed it to Edward, wanting to clink glasses with him.
Edward, who was worried about Vivian’s situation and had to deal with the old man at the same time, seemed to be slow in the head.
Half a day before he slowly picked up the wine goblet, but he did not clink the cup, but the old man handed the wine goblet to him and took the initiative to clink a glass with him, and then laughed loudly, “You kid is much more calm and steady than before.”
Raise your glass and take a boozy drink.
After drinking, Edward was found to be slow to move. His face instantly pulled down, embarrassed, “What, still thinking about that woman?”
“No!”
Edward denied it outright.
Because he knows that there are times when not directly trying to protect Vivian is also a form of protection for him.
Otherwise, according to the nature of the old man’s heart, only afraid that she will be more dangerous.
“I’m just worried that using an oxytocin to assist in labor is not good for the baby, and I’m afraid it will leave consequences.”
“Bullshit!”
The old man chucked a peanut grain into his mouth and snorted coldly, “Are you kidding? What age is it now, you are trying to actually be more conservative than me, an old man.”
“But the child …”
“Well, let you accompany me to eat a meal nonsense so much. If you don’t want to eat, get out, don’t spare my interest here.”
“That Vivian …”
“Anyway, you don’t like that woman either. From today you don’t have to see him, and as for the child, I will naturally let you see him when he is born.”
The old man ate up Edward.
In his presence, how is it possible to not have insight into that little mind of his.
“No. My wife and children, naturally, must be kept by my side, or I will not feel at ease.”
After saying that, Edward noticed that the old man’s face was not right, and immediately said: “Vivian although I am the daughter of my mother’s killer, but only I can retaliate against her. Others, not that qualified to do it!”
His words were clearly biased in favor of Vivian.
The old man poured himself another glass of wine, and even when he heard Edward’s words, he did not show too much emotion.
“What, are you thinking I’m not qualified either?”
“You are you, the subordinate is the subordinate, ultimately not a person.”
“I see that you kid is really confused by that woman. It seems that she cannot be kept.”
The more Edward shows excessive worry, the heavier the old man’s killing thoughts.
In the end, he couldn’t fight the old man’s ruthlessness, so he could only take a step back and said, “As I said, she’s just the child’s mommy. You also know that children are definitely better cared for by their own mothers. I can’t marry another woman and let another woman be the child’s stepmother, right? That’s not good for the child’s growth, and it’s not good for his heart when he grows up to be criticized.”
“And I’m not saying that you must marry Jocelynn. But if you prefer Vivian to take care of the children, then both of them will have to be in my care. I will let you see the children on a regular basis on the tenth, twentieth, and thirtieth of each month. Other than that, you are not allowed to see the children, let alone the woman, so as not to disturb your work. The competition in the business world is very strong, success or failure is only overnight, wait until your company grows and stabilizes before you say anything else.”
He made up his mind not to let Edward interfere with the matter anymore, and even directly not to let him see the child.
Edward was in an incredibly bad mood.
According to his nature, how can he be the kind of person who allows people to manipulate him?
“I refuse!”
