NovelEnglishMary Grimm frowned. If Olivia had indeed recovered, it would greatly lessen the burden on the family.
She would be delighted as well.
They wouldn't be able to live luxuriously like they used to, but at least, they didn't have to suffer as they did.
This was why she hesitated!
Emilia begged softly, "Mum, please!
"Just give him one more chance. If you still feel like he's not worthy of it, we can then kick him out!"
This was their family after all.
She couldn't make these decisions on her own. If she were to allow Oliver Walker back home, she would first have to convince her mother who was heartbroken.
Her mother had been hurt badly when it came to her relationship. The wounds that her mother had were much deeper than hers. How could she convince her mother?
She didn't know!
But….she had to try!
"Impossible!"
Mary Grimm shook her head as she was getting emotional, "I will never give him another chance!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Giving him another chance would be equivalent to granting him the privilege to hurt you again!
"With your conditions, why must you tie yourself to him?
"He isn't someone trustworthy, and you shouldn't put the rest of your life in his hands!"action
Why should she trust him?
Everything around was telling her that Oliver Walker was a liar!
She had been suspicious about how Oliver Walker might not have been a soldier for the past 8 years that he went missing!
This was because there were quite a few of them from their neighborhood who joined the army.
Why was it that these families would receive presents every year during the holidays?
Why was it that they never received anything?
It was obvious that she did not know that Oliver Walker's position in the army was extremely important.
During the war, they had to prevent the families of the important personnel in the army from being kidnapped by their enemies.
This was why when they became generals, their information would be made classified!
What more when Oliver Walker was the chaplain of the country?!
These procedures might seem heartless, but in fact, it was protection for the soldiers!
However, Mary Grimm's words broke Emilia's dreams!
Emilia was still trying to fight the feelings in her as she said, "But….but he brought the man who treated Olivia's condition!"
She was willing to trust Oliver Walker, but her mother was right as well!
If he was a soldier who fought on the front lines, why was it that her family never got compensated?
Before Oliver Walker went to join the army, they were already married!
"You're being too gullible!
"Just because he said that Olivia had recovered, did you really think that she has?
"Did you get her checked at the hospital?"
Mary Grimm's words once again caused Emilia to keep quiet.
There was no chance for her to say anything else.
It wasn't that she didn't want to believe Oliver Walker. It was just that there were still too many unanswered questions in this situation!
Mary Grimm felt even angrier as she continued. She grabbed the broom and said, "I will make sure he leaves this house now! He will never be allowed to take another step into this house!"
This was why they said that being tricked multiple times would make an idiot wise!
In fact, Mary Grimm and Emilia weren't stupid!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was just that after being lied to multiple times, they refused to believe anyone else. There was a defense mechanism that was slowly built around their hearts.
Mary Grimm's words felt like a bolt of lightning that struck Emilia!
Could it be that all of these were extravagant dreams?
Could it be that she wasn't worthy of being treated with love and would always have to live in a world that was full of lies?
'Whoosh––'
Mary Grimm, who was filled with rage, pushed open the door and screamed, "Traitor, what are you still doing here?!"
She hit Oliver Walker with the broom as hard as she could.
Oliver Walker did not expect things to happen so suddenly. Without any time to react, he grabbed onto the broom subconsciously and said, "Mother..."
Mary Grimm might have used all of the energy that she had in her, but how could she be stronger than Oliver Walker?
This was why no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hit Oliver Walker with the broom. She felt even angrier as she said, "You, traitor! You….."
She couldn't stand it anymore!
However, she wasn't strong enough and could only glare at the man in fury!
Emilia's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion. Could it be that for the past 3 days, Oliver Walker had only been putting on an act for her?
Could it be that for the past 8 years, he wasn't in the army?
But….she was the one who sent him off on the train!
