Chapter 117 Children Don’t Lie
Chapter 117 Children Don’t Lie
A real biological father could not have done better. And although Arthur was only Shirley’s Master, he
did not hesitate and took on a role of a father and protected her dignity.
Deep inside her heart, Shirley felt touched and sad at the same time.
She had her own father, but instead had to live like an orphan. On the contrary, she received warmth
and care from her fellowship of brothers and sisters, as well as from her mentor.
Their kind affection towards her was incomparable to anything else.
Darcy signed deeply and tried to calm himself down, and said, “Grandpa, please apologize to Dr.
Thomas.”
“What did you say?” Louis snorted and stared with anger, he turned his head suddenly towards Darcy,
his tone full of annoyance, “You want me to apologize to her, I…”
Bryan strode towards Shirley before Louis even got the chance to finish his sentence.
He lifted the hair off Shirley’s forehead with his hand, bent his body down and kissed her lips.
When everyone saw what happened, they were shocked. They shrugged and mumbled, “Wow!”
Louis and Darcy also looked at them.
Bryan placed his arms around Shirley’s back, and hugged her tiny body. He gently kissed her pink lips,
carefully but intimately.
The two children saw this, clapped their hands in excitement and shouted, “Wow, mummy and he is
kissing.”
Louis’s face gradually turned livid as he was watching them.
Darcy said, “Now do you see it? It was a misunderstanding. There is nothing happening between me
and Dr. Thomas. You have embarrassed yourself today for causing all that trouble.”
——You have embarrassed yourself today for causing all that trouble!
This sentence passed through Louis’s mind harshly.
If this was really a misunderstanding, it would be more than embarrassing.
It was a disgrace, and he brought all of it upon himself.
Louis took a heavy step back and shouted in annoyance and shame, “Then why did Amelia said…”
“You rather trust someone else other than your own grandson? Just so you know, I wasn’t going to tell
you about it, but Amelia nearly injured Shirley just now at the hand basin.” Darcy saw that Louis was
not willing to give up, so he chose to come clean in front of everyone, “Did you know that she was also
expelled by her Master, Mr. Stewart?”
“Wh… What?” Louis really did not know about this.
After all, when he was at home, he only spent his time drinking tea, watched war films and chatted with
his housekeeper. He rarely paid attention to these matters.
“Where is she now?”
Louis and his housekeeper turned around at the same time, and found out that Amelia was not there.
The two of them looked at each other. The housekeeper said, “I haven’t seen Ms. Jones since just
now.”
Then, a naive and ingenuous voice said, “Mildred and I went to wash hands just now. I stained my
hands with a pen just now. Mummy’s hand was burnt, so she couldn’t take me to wash my hands.
Mildred was the one who brought me there.”
“I accidentally wet my skirt when I washed my hands, so it was him who carried me to the air dryer
machine. Mildred helped me dry my skirt. Then I asked if he has any girlfriend, and he said he has a
fiancé.”
“Mildred wanted to carry me back to mummy after she dried my skirt. Then suddenly, another woman
rushed out and knocked Mildred to the wall. She even scolded Mildred.”
“That woman said some inadequate things to Mildred, so Mildred slapped her. We left after that. I saw it
with my own eyes, nothing happened in between him and Mildred. He only helped her up when she fell
down.”
The words came from Emma.
Everyone looked at Emma.
What she said was not very organized, but the words were clear, therefore everyone had a clear
picture of what happened just now at the washing basin.
After Louis heard what little Emma said, he was speechless.
The housekeeper whispered, “Old master, children usually don’t lie. I think we should not comprehend
this matter by only hearing one side of the story.”
After all, for the housekeeper, Darcy was considered to be a family member as compared to Amelia.
No matter how good Amelia was, Darcy was still Louis’s own grandson.
When Louis heard what the housekeeper had said, the expression of his face changed periodically. He
felt embarrassed and angry at the same time.
He felt distressed when he thought about how Amelia put him into this kind of awkward situation, but
she herself disappeared and let him deal with this by himself.
He raised his head and looked at Shirley. He toned himself down, grabbed his crutch firmly, and after a
long pause he bent down and bowed down to Shirley.
When he raised his body, he turned around and left the room without saying another word.
When Darcy saw his grandfather left the room, he quickly followed behind.
Bryan who was left behind, raised his palms and stroked Emma’s head a few times. He said softly, “Eat
well, I will go out first and have a look.”
After a while, the room returned to its original peaceful state.
Kevin lifted his eyes and looked at Shirley. He clenched his palms on the wine glass, and felt as if there
was a thorn stabbing his heart.
Although everyone at the table was slightly overwhelmed by what happened, however those
unpleasant things were quickly erased by the presence of the gourmet cuisine right in front of them.
But on Bryan’s end, things were not as harmonious as compared to Shirley’s side.
Louis skipped the meal and went back home directly.
As for Darcy, he was surrounded by several men instead. Especially Bryan, whose eyes seemed like
he was going to eat Darcy alive.
Darcy pushed his glasses, frowned and said, “If you have something to say, faster spit it out. After you
finish asking, I need to go back home and check out on my grandfather.”
Rex laid his hands heavily onto Darcy’s shoulder and said, “Things have gotten really ugly today. The
stuff that Louis said were quite intolerable and improper.”
Everything would be fine if Shirley was someone random. They could just take it as an old stubborn
geezer acting unreasonably. However, Shirley was their big brother’s woman.
To make it worst, Louis scolded their big brother’s children and woman. Therefore, it would be more
than that.
“Are you back together with Amelia?” Bryan asked frigidly.
Darcy lowered his head and admitted with a dull hush.
“What were you thinking?”
“I can’t find a suitable one, so they are all the same as long as my old man likes it.”
“Puh!” Lucas took a breath and spouted out instantly.
Mark also looked at Darcy unbelievably, “Aren’t you the one getting married?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“If this woman has caused a lot of trouble for you, you don’t have to worry about me. From tonight
onwards, I have nothing to do with her anymore.” Darcy turned around and came in contact with
Bryan’s eyes.
Bryan’s expression eased down, but he would not let it go so easily for what Louis did. “Tonight, Louis
said some words that hurt the feelings of the mother of my children.”
“I will give you the piece of land over at Africa.”
After Darcy finished speaking, Tristan raised his head and looked at him. He professionally estimated,
“If you fully develop the piece of land over at Africa, you can earn over four billion yuan. If Louis knew
that he needs to pay so much money for all the wrong things he said tonight, I think he will rather
choose to cut his tongue off.”
This was why you should never offend someone like Bryan.
“It’s not for me, it’s for the children’s mother. I will help you transfer it to her, and I will prepare the
documents as well.”
“Okay.” Darcy got up, took the car keys from the table and said, “I will pay for everything tonight, so go
have fun. I will head back first and solve the problem.”
