Chapter 617
Mr. and Mrs. Langley looked at Allison as they listened to her plan. They hesitated.
But in the end, upon seeing Colin and Gary's attitude just now, they gritted their teeth and agreed to Allison.
Only by letting them know how terrible Elodia was that they would understand why they wanted to introduce Allison to Gary.
By then, the Lockwood family would only be grateful to them.
Wasn't there a saying on no compare no despair? At Lockwood's residence, Colin stared at Kim coldly and said, "Come with me, Kim Langley"
His tone was harsh and commanding.
Kim was flustered upon hearing such a scary tone.
She felt so grievance and sad all of a sudden, Was this the correct attitude for a husband to talk to his wife? Even though Kim was furious, she still followed Colin upstairs.
The couple returned to their room.
Colin then closed the door.
What he was going to say might agitate Kim.
Hence, he did not want the entire Lockwood residence to be in chaos.
As soon as Colin closed the door, he walked towards the couch and sat down.
Then, he looked at Kim as if he was about to interrogate her.
Kim stood opposite him.
She could feel the chill in her spine when Colin gaze at him in such a manner. She felt so tense.
Suddenly, Kim felt so lost that she stood in the same spot without knowing how to react. Her face had turned pale at that moment.
Kim felt ashamed and aggrieved at the same time.
It had been more than a decade ever since they became husband and wife.
However, she still felt inferior right in front of him.
Colin had never given her gentleness and equality which every husband would give to their wife.
Even though Colin had given her the respect and authority of the patriarch's wife.
But, Colin's superiority and domineering attitude had never changed.
Kim felt so aggrieved all of a sudden.
Her eyes welled up as she burst into tears and said furiously, "Colin Lockwood, what do you want to say to me now? Speak up and stop staring at me like that." She stood upright and revealed her pride.
Colin remained the same expression.
His expression was still cold as he said faintly, "Well then. Since you have said so, I will be straightforward."
"Ihave a villa in Pearl City. You will move over there and stay there in the future."
Kim was stunned.
Although she knew that Colin was heartless and cold, she still felt the chill down her spine upon hearing what he said.novelebook.comHer face turned pale as she spoke slowly, "Colin Lockwood, we have been husband and wife for so many years. We even have grandchildren now. Yet, you are driving me out of the house? Don't you have any feelings for me at all?"
Colin frowned as he said, "If I have no feelings for you, I would not ask you to move out today but to file a divorce instead."
"If you are smart enough, move out and reflect on what you have done. You may return after you have done reflecting yourself" said Colin.
Kim stared at Colin in stunned.
Suddenly, she burst into laughter and said angrily, "Reflect? What did I do wrong that I need to reflect on myself? Colin, we are husband and wife. We are equal.I am not your subordinate or servant." "Equal?" said Colin as he raised his eyebrows.
"I have never said that we are equal. In fact, when you agreed to marry me, I thought you already knew the nature of our relationship."
Kim's entire body turned cold.
But she felt hot on her face due to anger. She gritted her teeth and stared at Colin with her bloodshot eyes. She said, "You are right.I admit that I had some ulterior motive when I married you back then. But, we have been husband and wife for so many years.I have dedicated all my life to you. Don't you feel bad when you say such a thing to me now?"
"Have I ever mistreated you? I have given you the respect and authority of the second-branch patriarch's wife. You made the call. In fact, as long as you can manage the family well, I don't care how much benefit you intend to gain for the Langley family," said Colin.
"But, look at what you have done!" said Colin angrily.
"Elodia and her unborn child almost died. In the end, I still lost my grandchild and daughter-in-law. Gary lost her wife and Kieran lost her mother. It was all your fault." Colin said to Kim calmly.
"Alright. Even if it was all my fault.I have tried my best to salvage the situation.Didn't I try to introduce a girl to Gary now? You are the one who rejected her and Gary is not willing to accept her. What have I done wrong?"
Kim felt so aggrieved.
"Do you really don't understand or are you unrepentant? Have you sought Gary's approval before doing all those things?" asked Colin.
"Gary is the successor of the second branch. He would be the patriarch in the future. He is not a tool that you could coerce at will." Colin continued.
"How dare you expect someone to show respect to you when you do not show respect to them in the first place?" said Colin firmly.
"I really don't understand why are you feeling aggrieved now?" said Colin in doubt.
Philip frowned as he spoke. He could not understand what was in Kim's mind at all.
Kim looked at him and said angrily, "I can't stand your domineering attitude.I am your wife, but you treated me coldly. You have never said anything gentle to me, even in bed. You are such a blockhead!"
Colin's face darkened all of a sudden.
A few young members of the Lockwood family were eavesdropping outside the door.
They were so worried that something bad might happened in the first place. Hence, they followed them to the room and waited outside.
However, after they followed the couple to the room, they heard them quarreling at first.
But in the end, they heard Kim scolding Colin for being a blockhead in bed instead.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
The few young men looked at each other as they twitched their eyebrows. So, that was the case.
Probably, Aunt Kim had been having a grudge over this matter for a very long time.
When they came to think about it, it made sense too.
Uncle Colin was such a rigid man. It was reasonable for him to be a blockhead indeed.
Just that, they did not expect him to be a blockhead in bed too.
Tsk, tsk, tsk! Since Kim had started it, she might as well said it out.
Thus, she continued, "I don't expect you to have the passion"
"But, look at other people in the Lockwood family. Look at the main branch, from Sir Graham Lockwood to Philip, Wilson, and Macpherson, even Draxton treated their wife well. They dote on their wife, don't they?" said Kim enviously.
"Let's not talked about others. Take Jeanne for example, the Barker family's situation was not as good as the Lockwood family, right? But, I heard that the Lockwood family gave the Barker family a huge amount of dowry. Did Philip treat Jeanne indifferently and set any rules and regulations for her to follow?" said Kim.
"No matter what Jeanne wants to do, Philip would agree to her. He does not only dote on her, but he is also willing to please her. Do you think I am not envious of her?" asked Kim.
Kim felt so grievance at that moment.
Indeed, life was different for everyone.
Kim then continued, "How about Isabella? What is Isabella's background? What does she have? Draxton dotes her to the max too."
Colin then looked at Kim with a weird gaze as he said, "Do you remember the time when we got married? I have given you a chance to make your choice.I have already told you what kind of person I am." "But, you said that you did not mind. You married me out of greed. Now that you have gained the benefit and you are asking for more?" said Colin in anger.
"Do you think you are comparable with Madame Emma Lockwood, Jeanne, and Isabella? Well, let me ask you. Back then, Madame Emma Lockwood defended the Lockwood family for Sir Graham Lockwood in a reign of terror.Jeanne took care of the internal security issue and foreign aggression for the Lockwood family. Let's not talk about what Isabella had done to the family. How could you compare to them?" Colin explained.
"Do you think you are comparable with them by creating chaos in the second branch? Do you think I do not know what your brother and sister-in-law are up to?" asked Colin.
"Also, the lady who you are introducing to Gary. Do you think I can't tell she is up to something too?" Colin continued.
"Do you think she will treat Kieran well in the future?" asked Colin in doubt.
"Or should I say, you know about everything yet pretended to be muddled?" Colin questioned Kim.
"Are all of these something that a patriarch's wife should do? Do you think the second branch is not chaotic enough?" asked Colin furiously.
