Chapter 891
The reason why Adrian would sincerely come over to apologize to Felicity was not because he has realized his fault and suddenly felt that he owed this daughter. It was because someone was forcing him to admit his wrongs to Felicity, and he must regain Felicity's recognition.
That person was Jack Hughes.
He spent another five million on Adrian to buy their reconciliation.
Adrian, who was already at the end of his rope and suffering unspeakably, did not have any backbone left. Seeing the five million all belong to him; he did not say anything on the spot and agreed.
Actually, people are all snobbish and realistic. Felicity had regained her standing in Hughes Family, how could Adrian bear to let her sever her father-daughter relationship with him?
Thus, after thinking hard about it, Adrian still showed 100% sincerity in the end and called Felicity. He even took out the things his ex-wife had stored.
Actually, it was not only Felicity had boundless longing for her adopted mother but so did Adrian. When Adrian took out the photos of her ex-wife from the storage room on the third floor, he was deeply moved. Especially after the comparison of the present mercenary wife, Adrian regrets that he didn't cherish his ex-wife well before he became decadent and broken.
Felicity had already ordered the dishes before he came here, and at this moment, them were sending out one by one; all of them were expensive, and to Adrian, it was even more impossible to tell what it tasted like.
His daughter from before, who was reluctant to even buy snacks, was now consuming an already amazing meal.
Thinking about it, Adrian still had a lot of respect for Felicity. In the past, after Christina and Edward's rumor was spread out, there would be people who would report them meeting each other every month for dinner. Even if Christina came out of his company, she would be taken out for a close-up in capital.
However, Felicity was currently very low–key. She had given birth to two children for Edward Hughes, received Edward's sincerity, and was even accepted by the elders of the Hughes Family; she was completely the mistress of Hughes Family.
However, she never seemed to show off in front of the media, and only got patted once or twice by someone occasionally. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Uncle Adrian, eat!" Felicity said indifferently.
Facing the table full of delicious dishes, Adrian was clearly hungry, but for some reason, he just could not eat, just feel the panic in his heart
However, Felicity slowly ate, and did not say anything else.
"Felicity, can I treat you to a meal sometime? As your father, I will truly apologize to you!" Adrian suddenly said.
"Alright!" Felicity nodded.
Adrian's heart relaxed. Finally, she agreed to eat together with him, and when the time came, they would invite Jack Hughes over as well, and he would finally fulfill one of Jack's request.
After eating lunch, Adrian left, bringing her mother's things back to the company.
At the dinner table, she hadn't looked through the photo albums or opened the small wooden box. At this moment, her mind was racing and her memories were back in her head. She opened the photo albums, and every year, there were several pictures of her in different periods of time until the year her mother passed away. It was as if all her happiness had been separated by that year, and she had never left any photos behind.
Tears rolled down her cheeks unceasingly. In the photo, the young Adrian hugged her and looked at her lovingly. She was not as unfamiliar with him as she was now, and the pain in her heart made Felicity feel even worse.
When she opened the wooden box, she found two pairs of silver bracelets, as well as some of the trinkets from her childhood.
There was nothing fashion about them. They were just plain and old, representing her adoptive mother's kind to her
Wiping away her tears, Felicity admired her own childhood photos and realized that her daughter Arya was really seventy to eighty percent similar to her. Although she gave a birth to a pair of boy-and-girl twins, her son had more of the appearance of Edward, while Arya had more of the appearance of her.
A pair of children with each other's gene ... this was definitely the happiest thing.
Felicity suddenly thought of something, Edward was abroad, what was he doing now?
She wanted to give him a call, but she was afraid of disturbing him. Forget it, he was definitely busy too.
Indeed, just as Felicity had thought, Edward was not idling around. In his haste, Edward had seen many people, among whom were his sworn enemies from the past. He wanted to learn more about some of the things that had happened when his father was working in the company.
These people were all elite members of the Hughes Family, and had always been by Edward's father, Leonard Hughes's side. After John Hughes took over the company, the first thing he did was to find all sorts of excuses to get rid of them. One emperor and one courtier seem to be the same means in any situation.
Edward wanted to borrow John Hughes's power to re-investigate the relationship between him and his father when he was released from prison. He wanted to find some evidence from them to prove whether his father's death was an accident or a murder.
Edward lowered his posture and met with a few of his father's most capable subordinates back then. After some understanding, Edward was still extremely shocked in his heart. Back then, both he and his brother were still very young, he didn't know what the company was like.
He had never seen it, and he had only seen his father when he got off work before.
A few years ago, Edward had been busy taking over the company, and with John Hughes being locked in jail, under various restrictions, Edward hold off on the investigation. Now, John was out of prison, and the company had also stabilized under his management, as Leonard's son, what was on Edward's
mind the most was his death. No matter whether dad is sorry for his mother or not, he can't die with injustice.
Coming out from the dining hall, Edward's face was terrifyingly gloomy. Larry followed beside him, not daring to say a single word.
Just now, at the dining table, those few men were all talking about one thing, and that was, after his father Leonard Hughes had joined the company, he had had a few huge arguments with John Hughes.
John wanted to enter the company, but was rejected by Leonard. John has been making trouble with him many times.
Although it's all in private, it's already a hidden danger.
As he sat in the car, the gloominess on Edward's face did not disappear.
Clenching his big palm into a fist, he seemed to wish that he could smash a hole in someone's face.
Larry carefully followed by his side. He had heard everything just now, and John was actually threatening his father with his and his brother's lives. If he had not heard it with his own ears, Edward would not have believed that John was even more malicious and hateful than he thought.
"Young Master, what do we do next? Are we really going to treat him to lunch tomorrow?" Larry risked his life to ask, if Young Master had any arrangements, he would have to make preparations as soon as possible. This was his primary duty as an assistant.
"Yes, we are!" Edward Hughes coldly replied.
