Chapter 169 – You Marry My Daughter
******Sophia was cut off mid-sentence by Jonathan, her lips trembling but clamped shut under the weight of her father’s glare. She dared not speak, though her eyes blazed with such fierce defiance it seemed they might set the house aflame.”Lorraine’s face twisted in indignation, her fists clenching in her lap. “But, husband…!”“Enough,” Jonathan barked, his voice colder this time, his eyes like daggers. The air around him instantly bristled with authority, and for a moment, silence blanketed the room.Seeing this, Glenn’s eyes, calm as ever, flicked from the mother to the daughter, taking in their anger, their bitter resentment, and their utter disbelief… as though Jonathan had committed some unforgivable betrayal.Yet something tugged at him… Sophia’s unfinished words kept echoing in his mind, and Jonathan’s interruption... so sharp and so intentional hadn’t escaped his notice. There was something there, something Jonathan hadn’t wanted him to hear.”
Chapter 168 – Jonathan’s Offer
******Jonathan’s words cut the air with brutal force, causing Lorraine and Sophia to jolt in their seats, utterly startled by the sudden outburst.In the following moment, their mocking smirks faltered, replaced by wide-eyed shock.Jonathan’s face flushed a dangerous shade of red, his chest rising and falling in quick, angry breaths. “How could you…” His voice trembled, thick with rage and disbelief. “How could you be so filled with… with such spite and so much cruelty for him? What has he ever done to deserve this from you?”The room went utterly silent, the only sound the faint hum of the air conditioning.Lorraine’s lips parted, but no words came.Ultimately, she lowered her gaze, her cheeks heating with something dangerously close to shame. Sophia, on the other hand, shifted uncomfortably in her seat, crossing her arms tighter.Jonathan sat there, his chest still heaving, trying to steady himself.Finally, with a deep breath and a sharp,
Chapter 167 – The Mother and Daughter’s Undisguised Revulsion II
******The more the mother and daughter duo mocked and hurled spiteful words at Glenn, the calmer he looked, lounging there on his seat like someone listening to distant weather reports about storms that would never touch him, his eyes still focused on Jonathan.And Jonathan, who was still hearing only what he wanted to hear, his gaze met Glenn’s for a moment, then he released a sigh, nodding his head gravely. “It’s all right, Little Glenn. You don’t have to pretend. If you don’t want to talk about the pain, you don’t need to.”Hearing him, Glenn’s composure finally cracked. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; instead, the corner of his lips twitched, but no sound came out.He had learned long ago that truth, when inconvenient, rarely found a willing audience. And right now, no one in that room believed a single word he had said, even though… ironically, he had only offered them half the truth.What he hadn’t told them and had no intention of revealing was that the last five
Chapter 166 – The Mother and Daughter’s Undisguised Revulsion
******Currently inside the Woods’ living room... a space that was neither lavish nor pitifully humble, just the sort of modest comfort that belonged to someone neither poor nor rich, two opposing worlds seemed to collide.On one side, Jonathan and Glenn sat facing each other across the coffee table, Jonathan’s posture leaning forward with concern, while Glenn lounged back with complete calmness, as though he weren’t the one Jonathan was filled with concern toward.On the other side, perched together like twin vipers sharing the same coil were Lorraine and Sophia, who were seated shoulder to shoulder with scowls twisting their faces, appearing as though merely breathing the same oxygen as Glenn was a great offense to their very existence.The two women glared openly at him, their hatred and revulsion so unrestrained that it practically filled the air. They looked at Glenn the way executioners might look at someone already bound to the stake.Jonathan, as usual, was completely bli
Chapter 165 – Lorraine and Sophia’s Unwillingness
******Without giving Glenn time to protest, Jonathan seized his wrist and started pulling him toward the villa entrance. “Come in, come in! You need to freshen up, eat something decent, and tell me everything. Every damn thing about these last five years.” His voice cracked with excitement, like a father welcoming a son home from war.Glenn hesitated after hearing him, his gaze sliding toward Lorraine and Sofia.The women stood rooted where they were, their glares sharp enough to flay skin.Their eyes weren’t just hostile… they were murderous and filled with threat, seeming to say: “Step inside if you dare, and we’ll see just how far your luck goes.”To anyone else, that silent threat might have been chilling. To Glenn, it was almost… amusing. But still, he decided to respect their wish.He scratched the back of his head, a faintly sheepish smile curling his lips. “I really only came to thank you,” he said, turning his gaze back to Jonathan. “I can’t s
Chapter 164 – Little Glenn… Is That Really You?
******“Did… did you two just hear that voice?”Jonathan’s words cracked softly, sounding like splintering old wood. But Lorraine and Sofia didn’t answer.Instead, their faces turned away, their expressions stiff with deliberate silence.However, Jonathan was too oblivious or simply too shaken to notice. Instead, he stammered again, his voice trembling on the edge of disbelief.“The voice… it… It sounds like little Glenn, doesn’t it?”And that was it.In the next second, something in Glenn eased… just slightly, and the faintest warmth flickered under his ribs, subtle but there.So he spoke again, louder this time, his voice carrying across the yard with quiet steadiness.“Because it is me, Jonathan.”The man froze immediately… but only for a second. In the next moment, a powerful tremor ripped through him… harder this time.His shoulders shuddered as though bracing against a storm. Then, slowly, almost as if dragged by invisible
