Chapter 100 - Angry Father (1/2)

One should reconsider their thoughts and words regarding their current situation. Words are like bullets.

They make the irreversible damage in any scenario. It was most certainly a bad decision to talk about Adam.

I'm not saying that we should have kept it hidden from Mr. Carlton. But there were other times to discuss this matter.

After the whole incident, I realised one thing evidently.

Mr. Carlton— my father-in-law is very, very protective of his daughter. That guy kept bodyguards for Stella and had her in complete protection. He won't stay calm after hearing about his daughter being harassed by her old stalker.

It is also a big shame for me that I was unable to protect my wife from all this. Being her husband, it was my job to keep her safe. It was my job to clear those obstacles.

Was it a bad decision to let her enjoy her freedom?

I don't regret my choice yet it makes me sad to think none of this have occurred in the first place if I just only followed the path of Mr. Carlton. But how could I? I was not raised like that. I never learned to keep someone under my control.

Neil, you big idiot! What have you done.

” Can anyone tell me about the whole thing? ” Mr. Carlton grumbled is a gruff voice. He seems pretty much heated, ready to go on a rampage at any second.

” Dad, it's nothing. Let it go.” Stella tried to change the topic and finish this argument here. But sadly, it was too late.

” Neil, Theo, what exactly happened? I want to know. Now. ” Being completely option less we told everything to Mr. Carlton. The moment we ended our conversation, my father-in-law got up from his chair and left hurriedly.

Mrs. Carlton looked worried and so did Stella. We didn't know what he was trying to do. I left my seat to search for Mr. Carlton. He was inside his room, looking at the wooden wardrobe. With intense curiosity I stood there staring at my father-in-law.

' He's looking for something. ' I thought to myself. I can see some clothes inside that wardrobe. He removed the layer of clothes and to my surprise, he grabbed the gun which was kept hidden there, along with some other types of guns.

Wait.... was that a rifle in there?

Holy smokes!

Is that a real gun?

An actual gun?

It really is!

And not just one. He has a wardrobe full of guns right under his nose.

He loaded the bullets into the steel hard gun as if it was a child's play. I'm feeling sweaty after seeing this. It's not that uncommon for people to own guns. Some have them for hunting.

But what about the pistol Mr. Carlton was holding in his hand ? That shit is definitely not for animal hunting. It's more likely to be used for humans.

” Woah there, dad!” Someone gasped behind me. I turned my head to see the person. It was Neil. Even he looked shocked seeing his father with a firearm. The scary part is he still has lot more inside that wardrobe.

Oh god. I never knew my father-in-law was a scary guy.
