Chapter 689
Harry said after pouring a cup of tea for his father.
"As far as I know, Jeremy doesn't favor this marriage either! He not only has someone who is stunning that he has years of affection for, but also another lover that people don't really know about... Don't you know your precious daughter? She has a soft personality. However, when she tries to be stubborn, there's nothing we can do about it!" Harry added.
As he comforted his father, Harry looked at him with a smile and said, "She's just like you! Both of you are the same!"
"Besides, I heard that Jeremy's lover isn't easy to deal with! Waverly doesn't lack wisdom. After all, she's young and has little experience! Aren't you afraid that you'll throw her into a fire pit if you force her like this? Dad, is your reputation more important than Waverly's happiness?" Harry continued. Most of Abel's imposing manner had subsided with a cold grunt. However, his eyebrows were still frowning with doubt in his mind.
"Dad, I'm not questioning your best friend! It's just that he may not be like his father. Love isn't something that can be controlled by human beings, is it? Your daughter is so obedient. What if she has seen his character or been bullied before making such a decision? Didn't you say that Jeremy is in Casterwich City? Casterwich City isn't small. However, no matter how big it is, it's just a city!" He added.
The implication was that they might've already met each other!
"Although Waverly is strong, she's still a girl after all. I'm afraid that she's too embarrassed to make it clear to us..." He added.
Harry didn't think so highly of Jeremy because he was emotionally unavailable, and he had a lot of women around him. Harry just casually asked around and had already found out so many of his bad deeds. Harry was sure that he couldn't withstand any further scrutiny.
"Who dares to bully my beloved daughter? I'll tear them into pieces!" Abel swore.
He was so angry that he patted the sofa as he jumped up again.
Harry rolled his eyes and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
"Dad! No matter how strong you still are when you are old, can you protect her for the rest of her life? Think about it. That woman takes the position of a mistress. Would she be a good person? If she is not fighting for it, she'll just be flirting with men from time to time. What can you do with her? What can Waverly do? The man doesn't even love her. How do you expect her to fight for it? Since both of them have no intention, I don't think it's a bad thing!" Harry said.
Harry said as he calmed his father once again.
"Dad, think about it. Jeremy so deliberately let the cat out of the bag. How can Mr. Pitcher accuse us of breaking off the engagement? We can deal with it no matter the circumstance and there's nothing to be embarrassed about!" He said.
All in all, he was on Waverly's side in that particular matter!
Harry further explained upon seeing that his father's expression was slightly calmer.
"Additionally, regarding the withdrawal of marriage, maybe it's Jeremy who forced Waverly to propose it out of respect for us! His lover can even convince him to dump the girl who he's been courting for many years and was deeply in love with. How can a simple little girl like Waverly be her opponent? I heard that the woman is very cruel. She even brought ruin and shame upon her own father and younger brother, and even crippled them. Perhaps, she has imperceptibly harmed Waverly. She's stubborn and won't say anything about it. What if she was goaded into her trap! However, this misfortune may be an actual blessing with such a vicious character eyeing her. If she really falls in love with him and wants to marry him regardless of anything, wouldn't you be more worried about her in the future?" Harry added.
Harry tried his best to highlight and analyze the situation. He hoped that his father could come around as soon as possible.
After a moment of silence, Abel sighed reluctantly and said, "It's obvious that my daughter is the beautiful and obedient one..."
All of a sudden, he once again patted the table and became wilted.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
"Forget it! A moment of grievance is better than a lifetime of grievance! No matter how good Jeremy is, his eyes are still blind. What's the use of that? How dare he abandon my precious daughter for a woman who's not even worthy of her name?" He yelled.
"And that d*mn woman, keep an eye on her! If she dares to bully Waverly, I'll make my way to Casterwich City for sure!" Abel demanded.
"Dad, Dad! Calm down. I'll keep an eye on her for you!" Harry said in reply.
After refilling some tea for his father, Harry couldn't help but gently shook his head. Only when it came to Waverly's affairs did his gentle father portray his daring side.
Cecilia overheard the conversation between the both of them as she was walking out with desserts in her hands. Her heart was filled with anger. Which b*tch dared to steal her brother-in-law? Did that b*tch think that her sister was a pushover? Her sister might be an easy target but she wasn't to be messed with!
When Natasha suddenly walked out of the kitchen, she noticed that Cecilia was in a daze at the doorway. "Cecilia, what are you doing here? Hurry up and take it out!" She said.
As soon as they walked out, they saw Jaguar who was in anger with some newspapers and magazines being scattered on the ground. Upon hesitating for a brief moment, Natasha smiled and said.
"What's the matter? Why are you so angry? Didn't you say you were going to call Waverly?" Natasha asked.
The look on Harry's face suddenly restrained. He said coldly, "Nothing! We were just arguing!"
Harry's attitude towards that particular aunt was still a little indifferent.
Natasha forced a smile and cleaned up the table. She then grabbed Abel's hand and spoke.
"What are you fussing about with the child? Calm down and talk properly! Waverly is alone outside, and she's definitely feeling lonely. Please don't give her any more pressure! I've made some custard. Both of you should have a bowl of it and calm down!" She said.
Cecilia then served Harry a bowl before serving each of her parents. Soon after that, she picked up another bowl and sat next to Abel.
"Dad, I'll go and check on Waverly
during my holiday! I have nothing to I do during the holiday anyways. I'll go there to accompany her to have fun for a few days. We'll then come back together with her to celebrate the holiday!" She said.
"Cecilia? That's a good idea. However, you're just a young girl..." Natasha said with a nervous and worried look.
Waverly was in Casterwich City! Did she also want to go there?
Natasha quickly covered her chest. Her heart quickly thumped as a bad feeling arose.
Harry put down the spoon and said.
"I'll go there next week! If you want, let's go there together! If you guys are coming back, just call me in advance and I'll arrange it for you!" Harry said.
At that moment, Abel also nodded and said.
"That's great! That way, I can be rest
assured! Cecilia isn't young
anymore. She can go out and have a look at the world! However, girls should still pay attention to safety, okay? When you're there, stay close to Waverly. You're not allowed to mess around. I'll still find someone to keep an eye on you!" Abel said.
"Okay, Dad! I'll be obedient just like Waverly!" Cecilia smiled with a glimmer of bright light in her eyes.
Natasha opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
After a night of the wild ride, Victoria was woken up by the coldness the next day. Her sore body hunched up like a ball as she curled up in front of Trevor. However, she could feel some coldness on her back from time to time.
D*mn it! Wasn't the window closed? Was there a leak somewhere? She hated the coldness the most!
However, she was sleepy and tired.
Upon rolling up her body, she closed her eyes and leaned towards the source of heat beside her.
