Falling for my ex’s uncle novel

Chapter 97 I Mr.

Yeats , are you going back to the city ? Can I get a ride ? I looked pleadingly at Henry , sitting in the car with a solemn expression .

Henry glanced at me indifferently .

After a short deliberation , he slowly said , We can only take one person .

You sit in the front passenger seat Okay I quickly replied .

Laurel Angela looked at me worriedly I have something urgent to attend to , I said .

But youre injured .

What happened ? asked Angela .

Angela held my hand .

Her smooth face was a maze of confusion , but she could vaguely sense the anxiety in my eyes .

Tm fine .

Dont worry .

Ill call you when I get home .

I sighed inwardly .

The ambulance from the city .

Before Angela could finish her sentence .

I turned around and got into Henrys car .

I saw Angela frown and look anxious in the rear mirror of the backseat .

There had never been any secrets between Angela and me .

We would tell each other without any warning no matter what happened .

Because people had to trust certain people unconditionally in the world .

It was as if one believed in oneself .

Best friends were never a derogatory term .

She was the person who could share my joy in the world , cry with me when I was sad , and laugh with me .

In the vast sea of people , she would always be the person I couldnt forget no matter where she was .

She would empty her savings for me with a phone call but never feared I would deceive her .

The kind of friendship that could be destroyed by mentioning money was not true friendship .

If friendship could be measured by money , it would not be true because true friendship is willing to risk ones life .

Only a friendship between gentlemen would be pure and simple .

Money is a good thing .

It lets people recognize whether the person beside them is a human or a ghost .

It could also be used appraise love and friendship .

to However , I didnt want to drag Angela along this time .

It wouldnt take more than three tries .

Next time , I might not be lucky enough to avoid so called small fights and accidents .

More importantly , Maliyahs sudden disappearance made me suspect that someone was taking revenge on the people around me .

1/4 71 % Chapter 97 Is it Samantha ? Who else could it be other than her ? I thought .

Tm sorry for what happenes just now Henrys cold voice reached my I cant trust anyone else , said Henry , sighing softly .

Its fine .

I quickly explained .

Actually , I was being rude because I was rushing back to the city ? Upon hearing Henrys words , my heart couldnt help but skip a beat .

I thought , It seems like he has begun to suspect someone is secretly targeting him .

Does he have a suspect , then ? He must have , or he wouldnt be so guarded with strangers .

Are you Laurel Parks Henry asked .

Yes ? I turned around and quietly looked at Henry and his wife sitting in the backseat .

Jenna Alston , Quinns mother , looked at me with a hint of surprise , but it was as if she couldnt quite meet my gaze in an instant Jenna was at least 30 but looked at least ten years younger than her age .

Her hair was good , and her complexion was great .

Only some fine wrinkles were at the corners of her eyes , making it difficult to guess her true age .

Even if her old neighbors saw her like this , they probably wouldnt recognize her .

Jenna had always been quite good looking .

She had a beautiful face with the big She looked gentle and delicate like a sweet woman .

She was wearing a long silk dress , looking elegant and noble .

She was a completely different person from Jenna I remembered Keyes I sighed inwardly and thought , Quinn .

Ive found your mother .

Not only does she not die , but she lives the life she has dreamed of My fingertips dug into my palms tightly .

Didnt they say that ones ten fingers were connected to ones heart ? But why didnt I feel any pain at all ? I only felt a bone chilling cold .

Jenna did not even appear on the day Quinn died .

Some people said it was not that Jenna did not want to come , but that she was afraid of being beaten up .

Jenna could not escape if she returned.

Callum , Quinns father , lost his job after Quinn died .

Later , he was locked up because he hurt someone after drinking Later , we moved out of the old house .

I had never heard of Quinns parents again I never expected Jenna to turn around and become the mayors wife many years later .

Is this Mrs.

Yeats 1 took a deep breath and looked at Jenna with a smile .

I knew Jenna wanted to pretend she didnt know me .

Otherwise , she would have called me the moment she saw me .

Even if she didnt recognize me just then , I had introduced myself .

Could it be that she still didnt recognize me ? 2/4 Chapter 97 I didnt know why Quinn would take Larry to commit suicide .

He had been waiting for Jenna to take them away .

When Quinn was beaten by Callum to the point of being covered in injuries and even chased with a knife , Quinn did not abandon his brother and did not go to die .

However , why did Quinn suddenly die ? Although Callum was hateful , the most hateful one was Jenna No matter how difficult it was for her , Jenna should not abandon her two children to Callum , the devil .

Yes , this is my wife .

Kelly Years.

Henry looked at Jenna , sitting beside him .

My heart couldnt help but tremble when I heard the name .

Could it be that Quinn could not find Jenna because she had changed her name ? So , Jenna has never thought of returning to that family .

Has she never thought of her two children , too ? I thought .

A careless smile tugged at the corners of my lips .

So sometimes , kinship could be used to betray .

Jenna , have you ever thought about your two dead sons ? You know theyve always thought about their mother who used to protect them , I thought again .

I let out a long breath and squeezed the wound on my fingertips tightly , trying to use the pain to soothe the sudden dull pain and suffocation in my heart .

Were you the one who saved me yesterday ? asked Henry .

I nodded slightly .

I happened to see it .

Thanks a lot , but how did you know Id hurt myself ? -I could see doubt and confusion in Henrys eyes .

Because I used to have a neighbor boy who had been sick since he was little .

Every time his illness acted up , would extend his arm to prevent him from biting his tongue , I said .

Henrys eyes revealed a trace of sadness when he heard that .

Is his illness better now ? his brother I pursed my lips and suppressed the sadness in my heart and the tears that were about to fall .

I squeezed out the reality that I didnt want to admit .

Theyre all dead .

Jennas face instantly turned dreadfully pale when she heard the word dead .

Suddenly , the silence in the car was broken by the sound of a phone ringing .

It was Jennas phone .

When she saw the caller ID , she pressed the answer button .

Mom , are you and Dad okay ? I heard there was an accident on the suburban road .

Are you guys okay ? Kelly took a deep breath and said , Asher , were fine .
