Chapter 1456
Jacqueline, âI really thought Steven was into that girl. He divorced her, I assumed he was over her, and had a reality check, so I started hooking him up with other girls. You know what he told me?â
Kenneth, âWhat did he say?â
Jacqueline went, âHe said he divorced because that girl Hannah wanted to. He said heâs gonna get back with Hannah sooner or laterâ¦â
Kenneth, âWhen did this happen? Why didnât you tell me sooner?â
Jacqueline said, âIt was the second week after he divorced that woman.â
Kenneth, âIf thatâs the case, we canât let Hannah stick around anymore.â
âKenny, what are you talking about?â Suddenly, Stevenâs voice came from behind.
Stevenâs parents were both very surprised. They simultaneously turned around to look at him. Steven was standing there with his arms crossed, grinning at them.
Jacqueline was kind of flustered. She quickly laughed and walked towards Steven. âSteven, youâre finally back. Have you had dinner? If not, I can ask someone to make your favoriteâ¦â
Before she could finish, Steven cut her off, âMom, do you love my dad?â
Jacqueline instantly replied, âOf course, I love him.â
Steven walked towards Kenneth. âKenny, do you love my mom?â
Kenneth, âYou finally decided to come back? Come with me to the study, I need to have a serious talk with you.â
Steven, âKenny. I asked you a question. Donât dodge it. Answer me first.â
Kenneth replied, âIsnât that obvious?â
Steven said, âLove or not, is it so hard to answer with such a subtle difference in words? Are you feeling guilty and dare not answer?â
Stevenâs words made Kenneth very angry. âYou little rascal, what are you talking about? Come with me to the study right now. We need to discuss the board meeting next week.â
Steven was like, âKenny, youâre really unfair. Your wife, my mom, has been so loving and caring to you all these years. Canât you even say, âI love youâ?â
Jacqueline was like, âSon, your dad definitely loves me. Heâs just reserved and not into saying those words.â
Steven laughed. âMom, donât you want to hear my dad say, âI love youâ to you?â
Jacqueline of course did, but she knew Kenny wouldnât say it, so she didnât want to push him.
Kenneth knew his sonâs character. He wouldnât let it go today if he didnât say it. âYour mom and I grew up together. We have a strong bond, and I married her because I love her. Weâve been married for more than thirty years, do you think I love her or not?â
Steven was like, âI asked you a question, why are you asking me now? Kenny, is it really that hard to say, âI love youâ to the woman you once loved deeply?â
Kenneth was like, âOf course, I love her.â
Steven laughed again. âYou really love her, huh. You love her so much that you betrayed her. Your mistressâ child is ten years old.â
Kennethâs face immediately changed. He looked at Jacqueline worriedly. âJacqueline, donât listen to his nonsense.â
Jacqueline stared at Steven, then turned to Kenneth. She didnât need to ask, and the truth was clear. âKenneth Dixon, tell me, is what Steven said true?â Kenneth was like, âJacqueline, let me explain.â
Jacqueline was like, âI just want to know, is what Steven said true or not?â
