Chapter 513 - Revenge 514: I Reject (1/2)

”Mary, are you sure about this? This plan is quite the risk you are taking.” Alfonso asked. It is evident in his voice that he is concerned. Mary has always been a risk-taker, and everything ends up with a good result, but this time, Alfonso is not sure if it will turn out good this time.

Glancing at Alfonso, Mary sighed and put her hand on top of his shoulder and said, ”Alfonso, I know it's a risk, but I am willing to go for it because I have trust in my children.”

She, too, is worried about what might happen if they continue following the plan, but they have no other option.

”Well, I guess that's all we can do.” If Alfonso is going, to be honest, he is quite surprised that Arion agreed to the plan, especially when his children are taking part in it.

”In this line of work, being a parent and as a leader of this organization is hard to balance. Sometimes you have to sacrifice one thing to balance both sides.” It may not sound so reasonable, but this is what Arion believes in.

”I thought you are trying to be a better father, am I wrong to think that?” Alfonso may not say it, but Arion can tell that he is still angry at him for leaving. Leaving his family behind, then coming back saying that he wants to become a better father and husband, and suddenly, he is saying this? It's no wonder why Alfonso is not very pleased.

”I am trying, Alfonso. It may sound like an excuse to you, but right now, the situation is not exactly the best one. I can't even relax, even for a second. This is tiring me out.” At this point, Arion no longer cares about what his friends think of him as a father and husband to his family. He is doing everything that he can to make things right in his own way.

Alfonso shook his head, then he turned around to see Mary and said, ”Mary, your husband said that he is tired. You should really take care of your husband more.”

Since Arion is getting serious by every passing second in this conversation, Alfonso would instead change the subject right away. Seeing him that serious is not something he is used to seeing.

Knowing what Alfonso is trying to do, Mary inwardly sighed and said, ”Seriously? You're blaming me for my husband's lack of energy? It's his damned fault, you know? He keeps stalking every article related to Anna and Kyle like a lunatic.”

Mary didn't want to bring this topic up, but since she has nothing else to say, she might as well share her frustration about her husband being so concerned about Anna and Kyle.

Alfonso already knew that Arion still hasn't approved the relationship between the two, but to think it has come this far, he doesn't know what to say. ”Seriously, Arion? Is that your new hobby now? Jeez, you're the worst. Keep this up, Anna will surely rebel against you.” It's positively not gonna happen, but there is still a one percent chance.

”Mary, do you really have to share that info with him?” Arion frowned at his wife. He knows that what he is doing is wrong, but Mary should not have shared that fact. It's annoying and embarrassing to hear.

”So you are not going to deny it? Wow. You creepy bastard, what's wrong with you?”

After that, Arion got himself scolded by Alfonso for a whole two hours. He tried to escape, but it was no use. His wife decided to join Alfonso.

”Young Master, everyone has been expecting you at your father's study office.” As soon as Kyle set foot inside the manor, the butler immediately told him that his family wants to see him, which causes him to frown.

”What is going on?” He asked.

”Miss Veronica and her family is currently here, and it seems to me it involves you, Young Master.” From the butler's point of view, he doesn't like the fact that Veronica suddenly stepped foot in Robertson's manor out of the blue along with her family. If he had not known any better, he believes that Veronica is using any means to be part of his Young Master's life.
