Chapter 428 - Revenge 429: An Emotional Wrecked (1/2)
”Your daughter and father are both together. You have nothing to worry about them, Arion. The only thing that you and Mary should b doing right now is to listen to I'm about to say.” Noticing the seriousness in Martha's tone of voice, both Mary and Arion sat down and focus their whole attention on Martha.
Martha started to explain everything that happened, back from the very beginning. She also includes the plan she and Marcus have. After she said everything that Arion and Mary needed to know, both of them have this gloomy expression on their faces.
”Aunt Martha,” Mary was the first one who spoke. ”I respect you, I really do. But what you and my father-in-law were planning is beyond rude towards me. I don't care about James, not at all. However, I do care about the fact that you tried to use him as a bait for the Ricci family to come.”
Anger. That is the only word that Martha can describe in Mary's face, and she understands why Mary is angry.
”W-Why are you trying to do that, Aunty?” Arion asked. Even he doesn't like to hear the Ricci family's name. They are the reason why he walked away from his family for so many years, and up until now, he is still trying to get every bit of information that he needs to destroy them. And what his aunt Martha and his father are doing is not making actually helping him. ”You know damned well that the Ricci family is dangerous, and Mary doesn't want to hear a word of their name. Also, what does my brother have to be able to lure out those bastards?”
”Well, first all, your brother has information that only a few knows, and the Ricci family wants that information.” To where the stairs are, Marcus' voice was heard. Everyone turns their attention to him.
Marcus is still looking pale, but it seems like he can handle himself, and Anna is by his side. There is nothing much Arion can worry about.
”Father, shouldn't you at least tell us this so-called plan that you and aunt Martha are having?” Mary asked as soon Marcus has comfortably sat down. Mary is full-on support if everyone wants to take down the Ricci family, but she at least has the right to know if there is a plan. They should have let her known about their plan much early on.
”We told anything because you're an emotional wrecked whenever you hear about your family entering your life again.” Marcus straightforwardly spoke to Mary. Marcus is not saying nonsense, it has always been like this.
No matter how many times Mary says that she's fine with the Ricci's entering her life again, she always ends up crying alone in the darkroom by herself, which is the more reason why Marcus and Martha decided not to say anything about it to her.
With an angry expression plastered on her face, Mary spoke, ”Emotional? Yes. I'm emotional when it comes to those bastards. And let me correct you, they are not my family, they are my nightmares.” Every time Mary hears from her husband that there is another new information about the Ricci's she starts to get nervous.
She thinks that the Ricci family is closer and closer to endanger her children, and she can't have that to happen. But now that she's hearing this, she felt that the danger is much stronger than ever.
”Father, I can tell that this plan's intention is good, but I am not happy about this. You should have at least considered my wife's feelings. You should have told us. Sure. Mary can be too emotional when it comes to them, however, she is strong. She can overcome her emotion towards them when it is needed.” Arion angrily explained to his father.
”We were considering her feelings here, Arion. Her feelings are the exact reason why we didn't tell her.” Martha spoke in a matter of fact tone. And from what she sees, it is a good thing that they didn't say a word. Mary looks like she about to faint from too much stress.
”As I said, aunt Martha, you two didn't.” After saying that Arion helped his wife stand up, then he led her to their room. His wife needed some space and thinks about they should do next.
”I see. Arion is still way too overprotective of his wife. How cute.” Jay who has been silently listening to the whole conversation suddenly spoke. He has seen quite a few times already, but it never ceases to amaze him at how protective his cousin is to Mary.
