Chapter 60: First meeting with father-in-law
“Aaron, how many times have you ruined our couple’s good deed.” Fred Garner didn’t expect Aaron to be with Kevin, but then he didn’t have to ask Aaron what he wanted with him, it was bound to be Kevin trying to stop him and Elena from being together.
He had succeeded in his plot five years ago, and now, he wanted to ruin the couple’s relationship again, that was impossible.
“Sorry, Mr. Kevin said he had an urgent matter to find his sister, and I couldn’t do anything about it.” Aaron scratched his head in embarrassment and said.
“Fred Garner, you don’t have to pretend to be confused, where is my sister?” Kevin looked at Fred Garner this way, his chest was like being inserted with dozens of rigid knives.
Since he hated Fred Garner and was angry at Elena, he didn’t expect his formerly well-behaved little sister to have learned to cheat now. During the daytime Elena still said that there was nothing between her and Fred Garner, but he didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, she would be in Fred Garner’s bed.
“Kevin, Elena is twenty-seven, not seventeen, and besides, we’re married, so she’s no longer her brother’s responsibility.” Fred Garner’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was cold, and if he hadn’t been afraid Elena inside would have heard him, he would have thrown the door shut.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Fred Garner, no one will recognize your marriage, in fact, Elena is back for a divorce this time.” Kevin grunted, nonchalantly, in return.
“Oh – I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed, in fact, we’ve decided to make up the wedding on New Year’s Day.” Fred Garner announced with a slight lift of his lips.
“No way, Elena, are you in there?” Seeing Fred Garner’s smugness, Kevin, who had nothing else to do, actually shouted inside.
Elena, who was in the inner room, was wondering what was taking Fred Garner so long to come out. He was wearing only a bath towel, and when she heard Kevin’s voice, she shrank under the covers in shock.
“Mr. Kevin, in the middle of the night, please pay attention to your cultivation, do not bark here.” Fred Garner said, about to close the door, Kevin tried to squeeze inside, but fortunately Aaron reacted quickly, a hand pulled him back.
Kevin could only watch the door close in front of his eyes, angry as usual in Aaron is a punch, roared: “Aaron, you bastard, you actually sent my sister into the tiger’s mouth, you abomination.”
Aaron originally thought to punch him for Elena’s sake, but Kevin seems to be full of anger and jealousy to vent on Aaron, punch after punch, Aaron certainly can not be stupid as a sandbag, naturally will fight back.
“Kevin, is there something wrong with you? If I didn’t know Elena was your sister, I would have thought you were jealous.” Aaron dodged while trying to convince Kevin.
Kevin also did not reply, just crazy swinging fists, although it is the middle of the night, but also will be noisy guests, many people open the door to come out to see, but see that it is two men fighting, one by one again closed the door.
Two people you a punch, I a kick, until the fight exhausted, although the provocateur is Kevin, but the more seriously injured person is Aaron.
Aaron wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth while yelling at Kevin, “You’re crazy, they got married five years ago, why are you going crazy?”
“What do you know, they don’t have a relationship at all, not to mention, Fred Garner is a villain who takes advantage of people’s danger. Five years ago, if Elena wasn’t in a bad marriage, how could she do such a brainless thing.” Kevin got up, gave Aaron a hard stare, and walked into his room.
“Honey, are you trying to bore yourself to death like that?” Fred Garner came back into the room to see the rumbling comforter, knowing Elena must have heard Kevin’s voice, and lifted the covers with a smile.
“My brother, is he gone?” Elena child seems to only show her head to ask, eyes from time to time to look at the door, seems very afraid of Kevin.
“Even if he’s not gone, I won’t let anyone hurt you, honey, get some sleep.” Fred Garner said and went to bed, but Elena was still nervous.
“Honey, did my brother he say anything nasty?”
“Honey, it looks like I didn’t try hard enough, this will be surprisingly good spirit for you, why don’t I take up a few more rounds.” Fred Garner threw a winks to Elena, no matter what Kevin said, this time he did not want to mention this, Elena under the eyes of the dark circles are very serious, if you do not sleep, after dawn will certainly have to top the panda eyes.
“Ah, no, I’m going to sleep.” Elena, horrified, screamed, slapped Fred Garner’s wolf paw away and turned her back on him, not daring to speak again.
Fred Garner lay back down and reached out to take Elena into his arms, with a lot to say and a lot of questions, but now was not the time.
He decided to go to The Costa family after Elena had had enough sleep, to give himself an identity, and also to talk about the marriage, as long as The Costa family parents there is no problem, Kevin how to destroy, but also useless.
Elena this sleep, surprisingly, until noon, and in the meantime, Fred Garner did a lot of things, but Elena knows nothing.
He first called Elena’s dad, made an appointment, and the two met before the official visit at noon.
The place is still at the hotel, but in Aaron’s room, where it’s quiet enough not to be disturbed. Elena was too tired, or was accompanied by someone, and slept so soundly that Fred Garner didn’t even know when he left.
But Fred Garner was worried about Elena waking up and left a note on the pillow early in the morning.
In Aaron’s room, his son-in-law was meeting his father-in-law for the first time, so of course there was no need for outsiders to be present, and Aaron was naturally sent out.
“Mr. Costa, please allow me to introduce myself, I am Fred Garner, strictly speaking, I should call you father-in-law, five years ago, Elena and I have registered our marriage, I wonder if father-in-law remembers?” Fred Garner formally introduced himself.
Elena’s father was a bit surprised, he had too many doubts on the way here, but after meeting Fred Garner, all the doubts disappeared. Usually, the father-in-law looks at his son-in-law and doesn’t like him, but the more Elena’s father looks at Fred Garner, the more he likes him.
“Five years ago, although I have not seen you, but heard Elena mentioned, but all along, we thought Elena joking, did not expect that silly girl, really married herself.” Elena’s father said with emotion.
“We’ve always been serious, if it wasn’t for your son’s deliberate obstruction back then, Elena and I wouldn’t have been separated for five years, and this time Elena is back with me, and I won’t allow anyone to take her away from me.” That said, Fred Garner’s fire is still there, and this statement is both a sign of his determination and, also, of his displeasure with The Costa family people.
“I have only one request for my son-in-law, he must be good to my daughter, he must love her and protect her.” Elena’s father understands that a daughter is not a good match, this saying has been deeply experienced by him five’s ago, at this time, all he can do is to do his duty as a father and keep this for his daughter.
“This father-in-law can rest assured, in the moment I registered with Elena, this is my goal, although five years ago I did not do a good job, but in the future will certainly try to do this.” To his father-in-law, Fred Garner is very satisfied, with such a reasonable father-in-law, he has nothing to say.
“Fred, may I ask why you married my daughter in the first place?” Elena’s father had some memory of Elena registering back then, and remembered that Elena and Fred Garner did not know each other, which is why he asked this question.
“If I say it was fate, will my father-in-law think I’m being perfunctory.” Fred Garner sat down, took a sip of coffee and then said in a manly tone: “To be honest, I was in a similar situation with Elena, Elena was disappointed with men because of several weddings, and at the time I met her, which was also the most painful time in my life, it was the desire and determination in her eyes that touched me, and any normal man would probably not have said yes to She, but today, I’m glad I made that decision five years ago.”
Fred Garner has never said to Elena, five years ago, he was serious, although not love at first sight, but in those three days together, her innocence, kindness, warmed his cold heart. It was Elena who made him understand that Anna was not the only woman in this world, and that women in this world are not all as vain and greedy as she is.
At that time, the self, not to mention Elena such a rich girl, even the most ordinary girls, I’m afraid they can not look at themselves. Even if Elena was gambling at the time, but also need a lot of courage, not to mention, their marriage is not just two small book, the couple should do they did, and then the appearance of their own really dare not let people compliment.
“Elena is a good girl, just so many years, I was too busy with my career, I failed to take care of her, but also failed to protect her, to her, I have indescribable guilt, when her mother gave her to me, I was worried that my wife did not agree, acquiesced Elena is my illegitimate daughter, but also as a result, the past twenty years, my wife has many difficulties with Elena. But that child is optimistic, except for marriage, and if you can’t treat her well in the future and give her everything you’ve got, I won’t let you off the hook.”
Elena’s father put down harsh words to Fred Garner, the first twenty-two years, he owed Elena, and if Elena is unfortunate because of this in the future, he will take all the responsibility and do whatever it takes to make up for it.
“This point, you can rest assured. ” Fred Garner wrinkled his eyebrows slightly and said solemnly to Elena’s father, “I beg my father-in-law to marry Elena to me.”
“You mean to have a wedding with Elena?” Elena’s father froze for a moment before he understood what Fred Garner meant.
“Yes, I owe Elena a wedding.”
“And have you and Elena discussed it? Have the wedding pictures been taken? Also, we’re both Chinese, so at least both parents have to meet or something, right?” Elena’s father was a little excited, he felt so sudden, even though Elena wasn’t around these five years, she was still his beloved daughter, but now, he had to give her to another man with his own hands, his heart was actually a little sour.
“I told Elena last night that Elena and I would plan for the wedding photos, but my parents are gone.” Fred Garner said with a gloomy look, if dad knew he was getting married, he would be very happy, but he would take Elena to pay his respects to the two old men.
