âErnie, let go of me!â Sylvie ignored while starting at Ernie. âDo you want to cause a scene here? Everyone is here. You donât have to be here if you want to be shameless. Thereâs no need to use your fist for a showdown. Everyone has a brain. You two can continue after you get back home!â
âBrain?â Ernie snorted. âAlright, that sounds interesting! Fine! Letâs go back and use our brains then!â
He finally let go of Marley.
Marley was still very impulsive. He wanted to rush over as he stood up. Sylvie stopped him, âMarley, why do you want to go along with his way? Canât you see that heâs doing it on purpose? Youâre the president of the Hughes Group. What will happen to our company if you destroy your public image?
How could you be triggered by him so easily?
After hearing this, Marley slowly turned his head and looked at Sylvie. His eyes were filled with raging flames. He was very angry, but he did not take it out on anyone. He replied word by word, âHe is way too much!â
Marleyâs expression was scary but who could bear such a provocation?
âWhat happened to you two? How did you two start a fight?â Kasper asked.
âAsk him!â Marley pointed at Ernie angrily. But when he saw his parents, he was a little worried that he finally calmed down.
Everyone looked at Ernie. He shrugged his shoulder and wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth. âOh! I said that I like Sylvie! He couldnât take it, so we started a fight!â
He literally said it in front of the elders without feeling ashamed.
âErnie, how can you say such a thing? Sylvie is your brotherâs wife!â Miriam was startled in the beginning and looked Ernie then only looked back at her son.
âAuntie, whatâs the matter? Whatâs wrong with the two brothers falling in love with the same woman? Am I right, Uncle?â Ernie asked as he looked at Aiden.
Aidenâs face turned pale as his lips were trembling.
âBrother, donât be mad. Letâs go back home and talk about it if you have something to say! Donât make fool of yourself here!â Kasper shouted and stared at his son. âErnie, are you trying to piss off your father?â
Ernie laughed a little. âFather, I donât. I still want to be filial to you! How could I piss you off? You still have a long life to live on. Youâre such a kind person, there would be no reason if you donât live a long life! Unlike someone with an evil heart, therefore the person is sick!â
âErnie!â Kasper shouted.
Ernie realized that his father was truly mad therefore he kept his mouth shut!
Aidenâs face turned pale.
âLetâs go back home, dear. Donât think so much, donât you say that youâve taken it easy?â Miriam tried to calm him down.
Marley walked over when he saw his father was not in the mood. âFather, letâs go home!â
Aiden looked meaningfully at Ernie with some sense of regret and helplessness.
Sylvie caught the scene and felt puzzled about it. There was no sense of fear by the way how Ernie looked at Aiden provocatively, it seemed like he was looking down on him.
Sylvie felt completely puzzled. Perhaps Ernie hated Aiden? But everything Aiden did was for the family. Why would Ernie hate him?
When they arrived at the car, Marley wanted to drive but his eyes were punched by Ernie. It was swollen and Sylvie asked worriedly, âAre you sure you can drive? Maybe I can drive for you?â
âDo you have a license?â Marley asked.
âYes!â
âPlease drive!â Marley was injured and his whole body was painful, he was worried about accidents.
He sat on the passenger seat, both of his parents sat behind. Sylvie drove steadily as if she was not a beginner. As she drove the car into the street, Ernie and Kasperâs car followed behind.
âErnie is simply outrageous! How could he say such a thing? Is he like a gangster?â Miriam could not help it and said it out loud. She kept her mouth shut immediately when she saw Aidenâs pale looking face. âDear, donât be mad anymore!â
âFather, please take care of your body. Itâs not like you donât know about his temper. He just suddenly went crazy!â Marley turned his head and talked to his father.
Aiden suddenly said, âMarley, you shouldnât have done it today!â
Sylvie looked at her father-in-law through the rear-view mirror. He was in his fifties yet he still looked handsome and extraordinary. Marleyâs face looked exactly like his. She guessed Marley would look like his father when he became older!
âFather! It was him who started it!â Marley rarely argued with his father. This time, he could not stand it and expressed his opinion. âHe tried provoke me again and again and I couldnât stand it any longer!â
âAre you that easy to be triggered by him? Was it fun to have a fight? Had the problem been solved? Did Ernie surrender after a fight?â Aiden asked.
Marley was speechless. Yes, a fight would not make someone surrender easily!
âLet him be, just ignore him in the future. He canât do something out of line either. He was just bluffing around!â Aiden added.
âHow can I let him be? Father, he actually...â Marley replied but he stopped again. He looked at the window outside, his eyes were filled with murderous intentions.
âIâm not a man if I canât protect my woman!â
Sylvie was startled for a while. She felt a little pain when she heard what he said just now. She did not say a single word but focusing on the road in front.
âActually what?â Aiden asked.
âFine! Father, Iâll let him be then. Donât worry about it, please take good care of yourself!â Marley narrowed his eyes. No doubt, there would be another fight between him and Ernie. They could not let the elders know about it especially his father who was still feeling unwell.
âDear, I donât want to talk about it, but it was obviously Ernieâs fault. Who would bluff around his own brotherâs wife?â Miriam was very angry. She was worried that Aiden would be angrier therefore she kept holding it. âSylvie, did he do anything bad to you?â
She felt awkward when she was questioned. She was worried that Aiden might get angry then she replied against her will, âIâm fine, I believe that he was just bluffing around like what father just mentioned!â
Marley suddenly turned his head around and narrowed his eyes. It seemed like he was trying to dig out the inner secrets in Sylvie, âAre you saying that kissing you was just fooling around? Even hiding in the corner in the public and letting him kiss you was also bluffing around too? I think youâre such an easy woman, right?â
He paused and asked coldly, âTell me, Sylvie Mccarthy. Are you enjoying the way he kissed you?â
The way he questioned her was embarrassing. His parents were in the car, how could she answer?
The situation turned a little awkward for a while. Aiden said, âOkay, Sylvie is a good child! Iâd ask your uncle to talk with him. Although Ernie is an asshole, heâs quite afraid when your uncle is angry!â
Marley sneered, he narrowed his eyes. The atmosphere was grim, âIf you think heâs good, letâs divorce and you go with him!â
âAsshole!â Aiden said.
âDear! Please calm down! Please calm down!â Miriam seemed like she could only speak this single sentence.
Marley remained silent.
Sylvie smiled bitterly, was she that shameless in his heart? Was she such an easy woman?
Forget it! Sometimes there were words that should not be taken seriously, otherwise life would be so tiring!
Marley frowned at the window of the car as if he could not wait to kill someone alive. He was very upset today, it was over his limit. There was a puff of anger that he could not vent out and it seemed like very uncomfortable.
In the old house.
The car as instructed by Marley was parked into a garden in the suburb.
When everyone got off from the car, Sylvie looked at the four-stories old fashioned building which was far from the city. The exterior design was gray in color along with a round gray roof. The windows were white in color, it seemed like a little castle, but it did not look modern. It looked plain and old-
fashioned as if it was built for many years.
It was far away from the city, and the air was fresh here. It was more like a farmerâs manor in the suburb.
Miriam realized that Aiden was getting better therefore she felt relieved. She pulled Sylvieâs hand, âSylvie, follow me. I would like to talk with you about something!â
âYes!â Sylvie replied.
Miriam walked along with Sylvie.
There was a middle-aged woman who came forward. âMadam, are you back with the master?â
âSabrina, Iâm back!â Miriam laughed a little. âThis is Sylvie. Sheâs Marleyâs wife. Isnât she pretty?â
âPretty! Beautiful!â Sabrina looked around Sylvie. She could not help it but praise as soon as she looked at Sylvie. âWhat a good child! She looks lovable!â
Sabrina sounded a little loud and clear. The way she spoke was very straightforward and Sylvie felt embarrassed.
âSylvie, this is Mrs. Sabrina. Even Marley called her Mrs. Sabrina. Please call her the same as Marley. Sheâs the person who looked after Marley ever since Marley was a child!â
âHello, Mrs. Sabrina!â Sylvie greeted politely.
âAh! What an adorable child!â Sabrina kept looking at her, she did like her so much. âMadam, please come inside the room. The rooms were cleaned as before, Iâll go help the young master to take the luggage!â
âOkay!â Miriam nodded as she saw Marley was arranging the luggage.
At this time, Ernieâs car was also parked into the garden.
Sylvie followed Miriam and entered the house. She said, âSylvie! Marley has a bad temper and is always anxious! Itâs because of his family or he really cares about you. If you werenât part of the family, he wouldnât be angry at you! Whatever he just said in the car, donât keep it in your heart. Donât you realize that he was being jealous? He does like you!â
âMum?â Sylvie was completely stunned. How could Marley like her? Didnât he like Jemima?
âHe wouldnât be angry if he doesnât like you!â Miriam patted her hand and said, âHeâs my son, how could I not understand him? Donât get angry with him, he just felt embarrassed and could not back off in that situation. It was Ernie who was being too much! Please stay away from Ernie as far as possible! This house was left from your grandparents and does not belong to the Hughes. This land was the only thing that they left for me. I do like the environment here therefore I always stay here. If you like it, you can stay with us! Thereâs always a room in the house! Itâs just a little far away from the city! Itâs not convenient to go to work from here! Perhaps you can come to stay over for two days during the weekends!â
The garden was left by Miriamâs parents. Sylvie nodded and felt a little lost. âThank you so much, weâll come to visit often!â
Miriam was amused by her dull expression. âIâm going to check out some medicine, you can help to apply it on Marley. I guess his face would be swollen so bad!â
Sylvie laughed along. Miriam was right. Both of Marleyâs and Ernieâs faces were swollen and even if they were handsome, they still looked like pigs now.
When Miriam found the medical box, both Marley and Aiden along with Kasper and Ernie stepped into the living room.
Both Marley and Ernie were still glaring at each other furiously. Miriam grabbed the medical box and looked at Marley. âUse some medicine for yourself!â
