"What upset you?"
Hunter frowned. Seeing Evelyn like this, he obviously couldn’t ignore Eleanor’s words and act like nothing happened.
"She..."
"Dad, please talk to Tom. Ask him to marry . I really love him, I can’t live without him."
Evelyn broke free from Eleanor’s grip, rushed to Hunter, and tightly held his hand.
So, it’s about feelings?
Hunter seed to understand.
"Samantha, love can’t be forced. If the Hawke Family boy doesn’t like you, just let it go. Forced love is never sweet."
It seems Damon Hawke ultimately chose Elara Don and clarified things with Samantha.
"No! How could he not like ?"
Evelyn was agitated, "Everyone says first love is unforgettable. I was his first love; he can’t possibly forget . Dad, I want to be with him. Please help , please!"
In her intensity, Evelyn gripped Hunter’s hand very tightly.
Hunter frowned even deeper.
Looking her up and down, seeing her sowhat crazed expression, he couldn’t help but ask, "Samantha, what’s wrong? Are you sick?"
She seed like she might have a ntal illness.
"I’m not sick, you’re sick! Your whole family is sick!"
Evelyn retorted angrily, looking at Hunter’s darkened expression, and shouted, "Dad, am I still your daughter? You don’t care about at all! Why won’t you go find Tom for ? Even Uncle cares more about ! I’ll go talk to Uncle and ask him to help !"
Seeing Evelyn about to rush out, Eleanor was both anxious and guilty.
She stepped forward and slapped her hard.
"Samantha, calm down!"
What nonsense was this child talking?
If Hunter discovered anything, it would be terrible.
The slap stunned Evelyn.
She stared blankly at Eleanor, tears streaming down her face.
Eleanor, feeling heartbroken, hugged her and carefully avoided the shattered pieces on the floor, sitting her down on the sofa.
"Okay, Samantha, don’t worry. Let’s think of a way slowly, alright?"
Evelyn said nothing, just silently wept.
Eleanor embraced her and looked at Hunter standing aside, "Henry, stop standing there. Get the servants to clean up. Samantha’s just too emotional; I’ll comfort her."
Hunter watched Evelyn’s tear-streaked face, hesitating to speak.
After a mont, he turned to call for the servants to clean up the room.
His daughter’s earlier state really did look like a ntal illness.
He truly had not been a very competent father.
It seed he had paid little attention to his daughter all her life.
Indeed, he didn’t care for her as much as his brother did.
After Hunter left, Eleanor looked at Evelyn with a face full of pity.
"Alright, Samantha, let’s not think about anything now. Get a good sleep, and we’ll deal with it tomorrow, okay?"
Evelyn said nothing, let Eleanor tend to her dication, her eyes vacant.
The Hawke Family’s old residence.
After taking Evelyn’s call, Damon Hawke headed to the children’s room.
The two little ones were video chatting with Elara Don.
The mother and sons were whispering to each other.
Damon walked over with gentle eyes and took the tablet from them.
"Alright, your ti with Mom is over; the next is my ti."
The two little ones looked at him, dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Damon raised an eyebrow and asked, "What’s this? You don’t want to bond with your mom? Don’t you want a little sister soon?"
The two exchanged a glance, their big eyes rolling.
"Alright, we’ll sleep then. Dad, have a good chat with Mom," Dominic said, his voice sweet and childish.
"Hmm, sleep well."
Damon closed the door, his eyes full of laughter.
When Elara gets back, if the boys still compete for attention, he would just use this trick.
It would work every ti.
"Don’t flatter yourself. Who wants to bond with you? Don’t forget, we’re still broken up," Elara’s voice playfully protested from the screen.
Damon entered the study, chuckling, "Wife, let tell you so good news, then decide if you still want to end our breakup."
He needed to tell Elara that Jas Lee had confessed.
She would be pleased.
"What good news?" Elara blinked, curiously asking.
"Give so sweetness first."
Damon pointed to his thin lips.
Elara looked at him amused, "If I give you sweetness through the screen, don’t you think it’s like scratching through boots, more ticklish?"
True!
He could see her but couldn’t hold her; only his poor brothers would suffer.
Damon sighed, "Wife, won’t you co back?"
"Hurry, what’s the good news?"
Elara inquired, her curiosity piqued.
"Alright, I’ll tell you. But you owe that sweetness and have to repay when you return."
"You’re so nagging; will you say it or not?"
Elara teased with a laugh.
Damon chuckled softly then turned serious, "About your mom, it’s clear now. It was orchestrated by Jas Lee..."
As Damon narrated, Elara’s smile faded.
So, Jas Lee hired soone to murder?
Just to hide his secret?
Her mother, how tragic?
"Wife, that’s how it happened. Don’t be sad; if your mom knew, she would be at peace."
Damon gently consoled her after finishing the story, seeing a shadow of sadness pass across Elara’s face.
Elara sniffed, took a deep breath, and composed herself.
"Yes, my mom should be at peace now. Thank you, Tom."
No matter what, the 17-year-old case was finally resolved.
Hoping her mother wouldn’t bla her for taking so long to uncover the truth.
"Thank by coming back early and rewarding ."
Damon seized the mont to say.
"Fine, once I sort things here, I’ll return."
She could indeed co back.
Because, indeed, it’s a double blessing.
Cole Hawke’s matter was resolved, and so was her mother’s.
She could happily be with the man she loves and their children.
"Really decided to co back?"
Damon didn’t expect Elara to agree so easily and was sowhat disbelieving.
Elara looked at him indignantly, "What do you an? Do I sense you don’t want to return? Oh, I get it, if I co back, you can’t keep entangled with your ex-lover."
"Wife, don’t wrong . I’d love nothing more than to fly over and bring you back now. Or maybe I’ll just co now?"
"Stop it, tell , is it true that Julian is gay? He’s really with Jas Lee in that way?"
"Wife, you’re so curious. I even have photos of the two of them together; do you want to see?"
"Better not, I might get an eyesore."
"..."
The two joked and laughed until Damon hung up, leaving Elara gazing at the empty room. She thought for a mont and sent a ssage to Helen.
Helen hadn’t co back again today, was she with Arthur again?
