NovelEnglishPaloma clapped her hands together and then shot her son a meaningful look.
Before Jeffrey could launch into his grand apology, Huxley cut in first.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Jeffrey! Get over here." "Dad..." Seeing the stern look on his father's face, Jeffrey was a bit scared.
e here! Kneel down!" At this statement, not only Jeffrey, but even Karen was a bit startled, "C'mon, dad... isn't this a bit much?" She was angry, sure, but she hadn't intended for Jeffrey to perform such a "grand gesture." "Kneel!" Huxley glared at his son.
Even Paloma didn't dare say anything at this point, simply pulling her daughter-in-law aside as if to ignore the scene.
Jeffrey pouted, dragging his feet over and knelt before his father, "Dad." "That incident with Paige, what did I tell you? What was your reply?" He had the audacity to go to those places, to mingle with such a bad crowd! "I'm sorry, I was really wrong. I just wanted to grab a few drinks and head home." "Wanting a drink, there are plenty of places, why insist on going to a bar?" Huxley's eyes bore into him, a look of disappointment on his face, "Today, there wasn't any major issue, so you still have a chance to apologize. But what if things weren't as simple as you thought? What if they got you drunk again, and you ended up fathering another child?!" Then, he would have no face to go to the Lopez family to plead on his son's behalf! Hearing this, Jeffrey bowed his head even lower, "Dad, I truly realize my mistake, I'll never go again." e "Saying this toand your mom, to your wife, it's useless! You need to say it to yourself! Who's going to keep an eye on you all the time? If you don't remember this, then all promises are in vain!" Huxley turned his face away, intent on making him kneet longer to learn his lesson, "But letmake this clear, this is the last tyour mom and wille here to plead for you! From now on, if you ever upset Karen again, I'll support Karen if she decides to divorce you!" "Ah? Don't say that, dad!" Jeffrey tried to rush forward and hug his father's legs, only to be dodged.
Karen, who had been quite serious until now, struggled to suppress a smile at this scene.
"Jeffrey, you're grown, with a wife and daughter. You can't keep acting like you used to!" Paloma too was shaken up by this ordeal. That incident with Paige had cast a long shadow over them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was a close call. Had the child been Jeffrey's, Karen surely wouldn't have agreed to marry into the Turner family.
"Yes, mom and dad, you're right. I deeply acknowledge my mistakeret Jeffrey said, looking up at Karen with a plea in his eyes, "Honey...
please ive me." Karen raised an eyebrow, then turned her face away, pretending not to see.
This was not the tto side with Jeffrey! Otherwise, he might think that making mistakes carried no consequences, that the cost was low.
et If it hadn't been for Huxley and Paloma showing up today, Karen was seriously considering divorcing Jeffrey! She wasn't joking, nor was she bluffing. Other men might go to the bar once or twice, no big deal, but Jeffrey was different! He had many friends there, each one aware of Jeffrey's status. If someone truly intended to trap him, who would bear the consequences? "Honey, if it means you won't divorce me, I'm willing to kneel here all day!" mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
