Wendell was tall and slender, with an aloof aura, as if he had nothing to do with this bloody quarrel.
His eyes fell on Odelia's slightly bulging belly, and he said in a calm tone: "As you can see, Odelia has been pregnant for more than three months. This child is the baby of the Joule Family and needs a respectable identity."
"I have already filed for divorce with Valerie. When our marriage is dissolved, I will get married with Odelia."As soon as the man finished speaking, Elaine and Odelia breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Hyman Joule was furious, and he wanted to slap his unfilial son to death!
"You little brat, are you serious about this? Women outside are just for fun, but you...you are so foolish as to kick out your original wife to make room for the mistress. Are you crazy?"
"If Grandpa Valerie knew about this, he would be in such a terrible state. He used to be a famous general, leading hundreds of thousands of troops. He was so powerful. Aren't you afraid that he will just take you away?"
"Forget it!"
Elaine crossed her arms and rolled her eyes in disdain: "Even though they are so powerful, the Harold Family is still ruined. If we hadn't protected his only granddaughter in the past few years, the Harold Family would have been extinct long ago. Don't you think about how many enemies the Harold Family had made back then? We married Valerie under great pressure, and made a lot of enemies. Even if we are repaying a favor, we have almost repaid it, right?""
Besides, it was the old man who set the rule himself. The two children would be married for four years. After four years, if there is no affection, they will separate peacefully. Our Wendell is not a scumbag!"
The couple was about to quarrel again. Wendell frowned in displeasure and said in a cold voice: "I have said everything I need to say. If you want to quarrel, you can go somewhere else."
"Forget it! Forget it!"
Hyman Joule sighed and said with emotion: "You are a child who has always been arrogant and domineering. No one can change your decision except your eldest brother... If he were still alive, he might be able to persuade you."
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy and sad.
Three months ago, Kristin 's accidental death brought a devastating blow to the Joule Family, and made Wendell, who was already very cold and arrogant, even more indifferent and closed.
"If you really want to marry this woman, I can't do anything to you, but there is one thing you must promise me, otherwise I will sever the father-son relationship with you!"
"You say."
Wendell looked at his father indifferently. His handsome face always looked inconspicuous and inconspicuous, making people puzzled.
"You must keep it a secret from me about your grandfather. Old Mr Joule has a bad heart now and is about to undergo a heart transplant. He can't stand the stimulation."
"You know he loves Valerie the most and treats Valerie as his own granddaughter. If he knew you divorced Valerie for a mistress, he would be furious!"
Wendell nodded: "I will take care of your grandfather's side."
Hyman Joule and his wife finally left the villa.
Before leaving, Elaine took Odelia and told her to take good care of the baby, as if she treated Odelia as her future daughter-in-law.
Hyman Joule felt ashamed of Valerie and never treated Odelia well from beginning to end. So
Odelia was like riding a roller coaster all night, with her mood fluctuating.
However, no matter what attitude Hyman Joule and Elaine had towards her, the key was to see what Wendell thought.
Because Wendell was the authority of the entire Joule Family and even the entire Pearson City, and the person with the most say.
At this moment, Wendell stood by the window on the second floor, staring at the sunflowers in the back garden.
He didn't come to the villa often, and he didn't know when the garden was full of sunflowers. They were really beautiful.
Sunflowers... He only found out today that this was Valerie's favorite flower.
Living towards the sun, turning the tide?
So Valerie, are you going to turn things around? Is being Wendell 's wife so pitfall?
"Wendell !"
Odelia walked up to Wendell, wiped her tears, and said softly, "I'm sorry, the children and I have caused you trouble, or... let's just forget it!"
Wendell turned around, his eyes as deep as stars, filled with endless sadness.
His throat choked slightly, and he said solemnly, "It can't be forgotten. This is my brother's only wish."
