At eleven oâclock in the evening, Elliot reluctantly left Amberâs house. Seeing him start the car and leave, the other car under the shade also left.
âI canât let it go on like this! Itâs too painful to wait for him every day, and it canât change anything.â Rodney kept driving, and he had already told the news to the Thomson family. Why hadnât the Thomson family taken any measures yet?
âAre they really going to let Elliot marry a woman with a divorced child?â Thinking about it, she shook her head. Although Elliotâs reputation was not good, he had always been favored by the Old Master. The Old Master paid most attention to the matching family background. How could he agree? Then what was wrong?
On the other side, Rodney found it strange. In the Thomson familyâs old house in the United States, the old man was holding two iron balls in his hand and lying on a chair in the garden, basking in the sun with his eyes closed. The housekeeper hurried over and said, âMaster, Big Master is here!â
âWhat is he doing here?â The old tutor snorted.
âItâs about the Seventh Young Master.â
The housekeeper was naturally referring to Elliot. The old man opened his eyes and sneered. âTell him to get lost!â
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure strode over. âFather!â
âDidnât I tell you to get lost?â The old man was not happy.
âFather, donât be angry. I have something to tell you. Itâs about Elliot.â The man had features similar to Elliotâs. However, he was less flamboyant and more refined.
âSpeak!â The honored tutorâs words were as precious as gold.
âElliot has been having a hard time recently. Heâs actually getting together with his assistant. Father should be in charge.â
âWhatâs there to be surprised about?â The old man snorted.
âThe key point is that this woman is divorced and has a child with her.â The man reminded.
âWhatâs wrong with a divorced woman? Sheâs much better than a married woman!â The old tutor retorted.
The manâs face suddenly turned red. âFather!â
âI told you, Iâm not your father. Ever since you abandoned your wife and son and got together with that disgusting woman, I didnât have a son like you, nor did I have a shameless father like you!â
âFather, I can understand why you are angry with me, but you really have to be careful!â The man continued to persuade with a red face.
âI donât care about Elliot? Have you asked him a little over the years? You only care about that bitch. What do you want a son for?â The old man sneered.
âItâs your fatherâs fault. Since you have already made up your mind, you donât have to argue anymore. You donât need to care about Elliotâs affairs. He has the freedom to be with anyone he likes, as long as he is not the kind of woman with a husband!â
âFather!â
âWell, you can go now!â The old man drove him away with a cold face. Seeing that the man didnât want to leave, he became furious and shouted to the housekeeper standing beside him, âWhat are you waiting for? Get someone to throw him out immediately!â
Seeing that the old man was furious, the butler had no choice but to step forward. âEldest Young Master, you may leave. Donât make things difficult for us!â
Seeing this, the man had to leave unwillingly.
After the man left, the old manâs face was still full of anger. He said angrily, âThis unfilial son of mine actually has the face to say âElliotâ. If he hadnât done such a shameless thing back then, would Elliot have become like this? My grandson was ruined by him.â
âOld Master, please calm down!â The butler quickly comforted him. âIt has been so many years, and Big Master also knows that he is wrong. Please forgive him for a while!â
âForgive him?â The Old Master sneered. âI wanted to forgive him, but what did you see him doing? Heâs in South City, but things have come to this point before he tried to stop me. If he really has a son, why does he only talk about this now?â
âSeventh Young Master hates Eldest Young Master so much. He wonât listen to you,â the butler explained.
âYou wonât listen to him even if heâs a father? Are you going to let him go just like that?â The old tutor snorted angrily. âItâs been so long, and the people in my family are deliberately hiding the news from me. They want me to marry a useless woman so that they can expel him. Itâs really chilling!â
âMaster, donât think too much. They didnât tell you because they were afraid that you would be worried.â
âYouâre afraid of me? Haha!â The old man sneered. âThat way, Iâll be worried if you donât ask me.â
âOld Master, letâs think about what to do with the Seventh Young Master first!â
âWhat should we do? Itâs cold!â The old man rubbed the space between his eyebrows. âElliotâs temper is that the more you stop him, the more heâll go against you. Leave this matter alone. Sheâs just a divorced woman with a child. Itâs just that sheâs a little pretty, so I donât believe that sheâs more attractive than those famous stars. Letâs observe her for a while before making any plans.â
The next day, when Elliot and Amber came back for lunch, they found an uninvited guest from the company. The person who came was travel-worn. Elliot saw the smiling face of the person suddenly sank. âWhat are you doing here?â
âIâm here to see you.â
âLook at me. Is there anything wrong with your brain?â Elliot sneered.
Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Amber left after making a cup of tea. Her father and Elliot were about the same age and appearance, so she guessed that they must be Elliotâs elders. As for whether they were father or uncle, she was not sure.
Only Elliot and his father Reece were left in the room. Reece looked at his sonâs hostile eyes and said helplessly, âElliot, today is your birthday. Dad didnât celebrate your birthday with you before. Today, I want to celebrate your birthday with you.â
âHey, did you take the wrong medicine?â Elliot didnât appreciate it at all. âAs usual, if you have something to say, just say it. I donât have time to chat with you!â
Mr. Thomson Jinlin smiled awkwardly. âI just came back from the United States. Grandpa asked me to send you a message.â
âYouâre not dreaming, are you?â Elliot sneered. âGrandpa will let you, an unfilial son driven out of the house, talk to him? Haha, itâs so funny!â
Reece didnât care about his sarcasm. âGrandpa asked me to send you a message. You can play with it, but you canât be angry.
Women who divorce and have children are absolutely not allowed to enter the Mr. Thomson family.â
Elliot raised his eyebrows. âCompared to some people who are having an affair with a married woman, itâs too childish for me to find a divorced woman to be my girlfriend.â
Reeceâs face suddenly turned red. After a while, he said, âElliot, you donât know much about His Honor. Your mother and I have no feelings for each other...â
âDo you have feelings for a woman with a man?â Elliot interrupted him. âReece, let me tell you, do you know why I look down on you? If you really donât like my mother, you can choose to divorce her. But you donât. You hooked up with a woman with a man and coaxed my mother. You are the most disgusting and irresponsible man in the world.â
âElliot, Iâm sorry!â Mr. Thomson Jinlin looked ashamed.
âYou donât have to apologize to me. From the moment you abandoned our mother and me and raised your lover outside, we had already broken our friendship.â Elliot looked at him mockingly.
âPlease donât appear in front of me again. You donât need to care whether I am in a relationship with a divorced woman or marry her.â
Reece was shocked. âElliot, are you serious?â
âDo you think Iâm joking?â Elliot sneered.
âElliot, listen to me. Donât be angry. After all, Iâm your father. I wonât harm you.â
âFather? Bah!â Elliot suddenly raised his voice. âA man who only knows his lover and doesnât know his wife and children is qualified to call him father?â
âI know you hate me, but no matter how much you hate me, you canât joke about your marriage!â
âYou really know how to flatter yourself. Do you deserve my hatred?â Elliot sneered. âLeave my office immediately. Donât dirty my land!â
âElliot!â
âAre you leaving or not? Iâll call the security guards to throw you out!â
Reece looked at his sonâs fierce eyes and felt a little timid. He had cared little about his son since he was a child. He had never been close to him. Since he had a woman outside, he had been at odds with him. It seemed that he might throw him out.
After thinking for a while, he had to leave resentfully.
After Reece left, Amber pushed open the door of Elliotâs office. Elliotâs face was gloomy. He was sitting in a chair and gasping for breath. âInform the receptionist that the man is not allowed in the future!â
âWhat happened?â Amber looked at him worriedly.
âNothing.â Elliot calmed down and looked at Amber for a while before returning. âThat person was my father just now, but I didnât recognize him.â
Amber was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Elliot stood up and walked to the window to light a cigarette. His handsome face darkened.
Every family had their own difficulties. They had been by Elliotâs side for a long time and had never heard him mention his family.
However, the first time his father showed up, it was a tense atmosphere. It was said that rich and powerful families were as deep as the sea. For some reason, Amber felt sorry for Elliot.
Because of Reeceâs appearance, Elliot was in a bad mood all day. Amber did not dare to disturb her, but returned to his office.
After work, Walter took a beautifully wrapped bag into Amberâs office.
âThis is the clothes Mr. Thomson bought for you. Go try them on.â
âWhy did you spend so much money to buy clothes?â
âMr. Thomson will take you to a cruise party today.â
âBut I promised Mel to go home for dinner tonight...â
âMr. Thomson said that this is work!â Walter emphasized. Thinking that the woman in front of him was Elliotâs heart, he immediately softened his tone and said, âAssistant Mole, Mr. Thomson is in a bad mood today. You can accompany him and make him happy. Now you are the only one who can make him happy!â
Amber had no reason to refuse. Elliot was in a bad mood today, so it was indeed the time to comfort him.
Amber opened the exquisite package and found that there was an evening gown inside. There was a rest room in Amberâs office. She locked the door and went into the rest room to change into an evening dress.
After changing his clothes and entering Elliotâs office, his face was no longer as gloomy as it was at noon. Instead, he was talking to Deon with a smile. When he heard the two people pushing the door and looking at Amber at the same time, their eyes were full of amazement.
Elliotâs eyes emitted a gentle gaze. âThatâs right. I still lack a piece of jewelry.â
As he spoke, he opened the drawer, took out a box, and opened it. Inside was an exquisite diamond necklace. Elliot got up and walked to Amber. âPut this on and itâll be perfect.â
âBe obedient, put it on!â Before Amber could say anything, he spoke first, with a hint of pleading in his tone. âDonât make me unhappy.â
Amberâs heart softened. He didnât refuse and allowed Elliot to personally help her put on the necklace. After putting on the necklace, Elliot took a step back and nodded with satisfaction. âBeautiful! Beautiful!â
While Walter was driving, Elliot and Amber were sitting in the back row. The car drove fast all the way and soon arrived at the beach.
Walter opened the door and Elliot held Amberâs car.
On the sea not far away, there was a giant cruise ship.
Elliot pointed in the direction of the cruise ship. âTonight, we will spend a beautiful night on this luxurious cruise ship.â
Seeing that Elliot had come with Amberâs hand, someone welcomed them warmly and led them to the luxury cruise ship.
It was the first time that Amber had seen such a beautiful yacht. He couldnât help looking around.
Looking at her surprised look, Elliot couldnât help but laugh. âYou look like a country bumpkin entering the city.â
âYouâre right. Iâve never been on such a luxurious cruise ship in my entire life. Iâve only seen it on TV.â
Elliot was just teasing her. He didnât expect her to be so sincere. He sighed and wrapped his arms around Amberâs waist. âIf you like it, Iâll give you one and name it by your name!â
âNo, itâs too extravagant!â
âFor me, thereâs only happiness and no luxury.â
âThatâs right. You seemed to have sent a luxury yacht to a female star before.â Amber joked.
âThatâs different. Those are just entertainment. Youâre different to me!â He looked at Amberâs eyes seriously. âAmber, I really love you!â
Elliotâs eyes would give way, so Amber didnât dare to look him in the eye. She turned her head shyly and saw the last person she wanted to see.
