Marry Ex's Uncle After Divorcement

Chapter 731

Theresa was about to stand up when Dick grabbed her wrist, stopping her from asking Rawlins.

So, Theresa had to sit back down and look at him.

Dick said, “I went back home.”

This reminded Theresa that Rawlins said that Dick had spent the holiday by himself every year before and that he even spent the New Year at her house this year.

Theresa did not interrupt but listened quietly to him.

Dick continued, “I was going to see my dad, but I didn’t see him because was too busy at work and had a lot of guests.”

Speaking of this, Dick laughed bitterly and said to Theresa, “Do you think it’s funny? It was harder for me to see him than his so-called guests when I was a kid.”

Looking at Dick, Theresa could sense that he was an emotional man, otherwise, he would not have cared so much about his father.

However, his father didn’t seem to be as nice to him!

Dick lowered his head and looked at his fingers.

Theresa sat and watched him quietly, listening to him talk about something from the past.

It turned out that Dick was the illegitimate child of his father, who was a very influential person….

However, his father already had other legitimate children, and Dick was the one who was not acknowledged.

Although because of his father, he was well-developed outside, and even Charlie would not mess with him without much consideration.

But at home, it was hard for him to see his father.

Dick looked out the window and said to Theresa, “I sometimes really don’t know what the point of living is.”

Theresa looked at him and said, “You can meet with your friends more often. Don’t think too much, and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

Dick turned to Theresa and said, “I don’t have any friends.

Theresa looked at him with some surprise.

Dick said, “Do you think there will be people in this world who can really understand you? There won’t be! Even if people feel miserable about what you’re going through and feel sorry for you, they can just make a few words of comfort, but so what? The unhappiness you are experiencing can others empathize? No!”

Theresa clenched her hands hard.

She could understand Dick’s words.

Because she also did not expect anyone in this world to really stand in her shoes and understand what she was going through in the first place.

After she was with Jimmy…

She went from an incredibly confident woman to a woman with very low self-esteem.

She knew that no one would be able to truly understand her.

Theresa turned to Dick and said, “Let me give you acupuncture, and then you can get some sleep.”

Dick said, “I can’t sleep and I don’t dare to close my eyes! Once I close them, I will dream about what happened when I was a child.”

Theresa looked at Dick, who said, “You know that? My dad didn’t like me at all but he still recognized me as his son. Do you know why?”

“Why?” Theresa asked cooperatively.

Dick said, “My mother committed suicide. After she died, I stayed with her in the room for three days and three nights until my grandmother discovered it. My father who was on the cusp of promotion was worried that this. would affect his career, so, he promised my grandmother to take me home but only if the matter was kept secret. Later they all said to the public that my mother died of illness. For them, this was the best result… I was. only five years old that year… When I close my eyes, I can think of my mother lying cold beside me.”

After all these years, he still often dreamed of himself as a little boy in the past.

Theresa listened to his words and didn’t know what to say.

Looking at Dick, she didn’t expect he had gone through this.

She said, “I’m sorry, Mr. White. I didn’t know that.”

Looking over at Theresa, Dick smiled crookedly and asked, “You’ll… help me keep it a secret, right?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
