Chapter 669: Chapter 668
The person in front of him was Keira Olsen!
Jake Horton’s pupils dilated suddenly.
He couldn’t believe what he was seeing; for a mont, it felt as if the light had returned to his life!
He swallowed hard, staring intently at Keira Olsen, his gaze fixing on the corner of her eyes.
There, faintly visible beneath a thin layer of concealer, was a black tear mole!
Jake Horton’s eyes moistened in an instant.
He opened his mouth as if wanting to say sothing, but not knowing what to say, he could only stare blankly at Keira Olsen.
She wasn’t dead…
She wasn’t dead!
That’s great!
Even though she was now his younger aunt, as long as she was alive and could be happy, everything was fine!
Jake Horton’s vision blurred, and he imdiately reached out to wipe away his tears, revealing Keira Olsen’s clear visage once again.
Could this really not be a dream?
Jake Horton quickly pinched his arm, it wasn’t a dream!
He looked at Keira Olsen excitedly, opened his mouth to call out her na, but then suddenly realized how deeply he had once hurt her, what right did he have?!
He said nothing, but Keira Olsen was staring intensely at him: “Speak up! Do you really want to marry Serena Clark?”
Oliver Horton imdiately stepped forward: “Miss Olsen, I’ve said it, my son listens to ! Stop talking here, if you continue, don’t bla for being rude!”
Nathan Horton also angrily said, “What do you an? You don’t want Jake to marry Serena Clark, then should Lewis marry her? I know, you are afraid that Jake marrying Serena Clark might overshadow Lewis Horton!”
He then looked at Old Mrs. Horton and Lewis Horton: “Look, she hasn’t even entered our family and she’s already trying to instruct us on our affairs! Serena Clark is such a nice girl, how could Jake not want to marry her? He can’t wait to marry her!”
But just as these words fell, a low, choked voice suddenly rang out: “She’s right.”
Everyone was stunned, turning to look at Jake Horton who had spoken.
His eyes moistened again, his nose red, his whole visage sowhat agitated, like a child, he wiped his tears and then looked towards Keira Olsen.
Nathan Horton scoffed, “Did you hear that? Jake said, what I said is right!”
Oliver Horton also spoke, “Of course, my son listens to us, after all, Serena Clark has such a big reputation in Clance, every family wants to marry her. The fact that she’s willing to marry Jake, not minding that this is his second marriage, is already our fortune!”
After saying this, Oliver Horton laughed: “Jake, after marrying Serena Clark, rember to treat your wife well, listen more to her! Don’t be like your uncle, so stiff with family matters!”
Jake Horton stared blankly at him.
He spoke slowly, word by word: “I said, she’s right.”
He pointed towards Keira Olsen.
The smile on Nathan Horton and Oliver Horton’s faces froze, both looking incredulously at Jake Horton.
Oliver Horton was even more angrily darkened his face, “What did you say? Ungrateful creature! Say it again?!”
If it were before, seeing his father’s face like this, Jake Horton would have been scared.
Especially since every ti his father looked like this, he would leave him and his mother to go find that other woman.
But this ti, Jake Horton looked at Keira Olsen.
He thought about the words Keira Olsen had just said…
“What do you really want?”
What did he really want?
The Keira Olsen he wanted, he could no longer have, but besides Keira Olsen, what else did he want?
He wanted his father to always be at ho, to get along harmoniously with his mother, for his father to not have a mistress, not have an illegitimate daughter…
But these, to him, now seed to be laughable things.
He could never get them back.
So, what did he want now?
Jake Horton looked towards Keira Olsen, then towards Nathan Horton and Oliver Horton.
Seeing the anger on their faces, he suddenly understood sothing.
Jake Horton said outright: “I say, I don’t want to marry Serena Clark! I’m not a puppet, I am my own person!”
As soon as these words ca out, everyone present was shocked.
Oliver Horton angrily said, “I think you’re itching for a beating! This matter is settled!”
Yet Jake Horton outright refused, his voice firm and strong: “Dad, I said no, I don’t agree! I’m an adult now, you can’t control my life anymore!”
Oliver Horton: !
He directly slapped Jake Horton, but his son, who was usually compliant, now grabbed his hand.
In that mont, Oliver Horton suddenly realized that his son’s strength might be even greater than his!
He stood dumbfounded on the spot.
Nathan Horton then turned sharply towards Keira Olsen, angrily demanding, “What have you done to Jake Horton? You Ungrateful creature!”
He then picked up a cane and aid it directly at Keira Olsen!
