Marriage With A Evil Heart

In the video footage, my dad is smiling but not answering, like an old fox, and my mom is all smug, showing all the joy of being a thug.

She grabbed my dad’s cell phone, close to the camera and whispered to me, “Your dad does have foresight, a few years ago the old city slump, including our ancient street here, too many people moved away. No one wants to live on this moldy old street anymore, especially you young people, you all aspire to bright and spacious skyscrapers and elevator townhouses, so all the old households on the street are going away, and a large number of them are moving away to the new area.”

I nodded, agreeing, “Because the old neighborhood is really old, and if I were there I’d move too!”

My mom instantly bristled, “So yeah, it’s become a poverty-stricken area that no one cares about, and at one point it was known as Ghost Street.”

I laughed and agreed, “Mom you’re really right, if young people now live in the old streets again, they’ll be unable to find a date, who’d want to marry and live in a bungalow!”

“Very few people come to the old street anymore, let alone have anyone come here to rent a house. It just so happened that our family had some spare money on hand at the time, and your father took in quite a few of these houses.”

As my mom said this, I saw Robert’s eyes visibly light up in the video.

“You mean, my dad bought the rest of the houses in the old neighborhood?”

My mom nodded, “At that time, I was not too happy, because of this, no less with your father to dispute. As a result, he was good, a hair out of control, a drum to collect most of the street …”

“Half an old street?” I trailed off with a questioning look on my face.

My mom is very proud of an expression, smile cozy and open, “At that time the money was all invested in Medikit Inc, otherwise your father could have bought the whole street. However, if he had collected the whole street at that time, it would have been …”

My mom showed a look of regret and sighed. I saw Robert’s expression stiffen as well, probably feeling sorry for himself as well!

I looked at my mom in the camera incredulously, a little jaw-dropped… was my mom telling the truth?

If an old street is really … I don’t dare to think about going on.

But the next second, my dad grabbed the phone and said in a serious voice, “Don’t listen to your mom, it’s still on the table. You said last time that when the kids come to Southend for their summer vacation, they’ll come, right?”

My dad stopped the conversation and didn’t continue, and I laughed, what an old fox.

Before I answered my dad’s words, Robert to be the first to, “Dad, sure go back, already told the kids, they are all happy as hell, they are counting down to it! It’s almost the end of the semester, and we’ll go there as soon as we finish the exams and go on vacation!”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“That’s good, we haven’t seen them in two years, they’ve all grown!” My mom asked.

“It’s high!” Robert snaps with a fawning smile.

The rest of the conversation was all about parents, and my dad never mentioned the old neighborhood again.

Hanging up the video, I was a bit stunned, still wondering if what my mom said was true or not.

Robert looked happy too, and had Edith replace my bowl of hot soup, attentively pushing it in front of me, “Hurry up and drink it while it’s hot, dear, Edith’s soups are really up to scratch.”

I took it silently, and after finishing my soup, I said to Edith, “Edith, I’m going out for a bit, and I’m going to have to trouble you to pick up Charles for the evening. Oliver I’ll pick up directly when I get back.”

“Don’t worry! The company is fine today, and I’ll be back early in the evening to pick up the kids! You don’t have to worry about it!” Robert was very attentive and took the initiative to pick up the kids.

I gave him a sidelong glance, didn’t pick up on it, and got up to go upstairs.

Robert, I’m going to make you thirsty forever. The company’s okay, right? Well, soon it won’t be.
