Chapter 18
Andrew walked in with a face full of reluctance. I’m just checking in. Now that you’re awake, I’m off the hook. No need to disturb Rachel from showing her affection.”
“Is that even human talk?” Richard was so angry he grabbed the vase from the table and threw it.
Andrew quickly spoke up. Dr. Davis just said you can’t get agitated. So I won’t talk back or fight. If you hit me like this, our Zevon family’s future might be ruined right here.”
With that, Richard had to hold his breath.
Seeing this. Andrew walked over, took the vase, and casually pulled up the sofa to sit on the bed opposite Rachel. “Come on, you, I’m the one who upset you. Why are you punishing yourself?”
“You know you’re in the wrong. Why don’t you apologize to Rachel?” Richard said
Andrew picked up the orange on the table and started peeling it, as if he hadn’t heard. “Apologize? The one who should apologize is her. Tell me, at your age, how come you can’t tell right from wrong.“
Arrogant and sophistical!” Richard said.
Seeing Grandpa about to strike again, Andrew quickly stuffed a piece of orange into some orange to cool down“”
Richard’s mouth. “You love to lose your temper. Eat
Slipping to the door, Andrew turned to Rachel. “Aren’t you going to cook for Grandpa?”
Rachel had no choice but to follow him downstairs.
“Don’t stir up trouble in front of Grandpa by badmouthing Yedda. We know whether she’s good or not, Andrew said.
“If you’re so confident in her, why are you afraid I’ll say something in front of Grandpa?” Rachel asked.
“Rachel, why do you have to be at odds with Yedda?”
“Andrew, why are you so sure Yedda is so good?”
Just because she’s devoted to me. How about you? Would you?”
This question really stumped Rachel Devoted? Doesn’t she have that? When they got married, wasn’t she devoted to Andrew? But what did ise give her in return?, His impatience and indifference.
He said she, a housewife, couldn’t understand company matters. She felt bad about his overtime and made lunch to bring to his office, but he thought she was spying on him.
Later, the gradually stopped going to the company and put all her thoughts into Jennie. She never expected to be questioned by him like this in the end
Rachel found it extremely ridiculous. It turned out that no matter what you did, it was wrong if the person didn’t love you
Rachel snerred and shook her head, then turned and continued downstairs
Andrew, not
giving up, grabbed her arm, but Rachel shook him off, “Don’t touch me. Get out
This about attracted the downstairs servants to look up frequently.
Rachel acted as if nothing had happened, went to deliver the dinner she had prepared for Grandpa upstairs, and was ready to say goodbye to him Rachel was carrying the tray to the door when she heard some noise inside and couldn’t help but slow down.
Tm just pretending to be sick now to stop Kachel from divorcing for now I can’t do anything about the rest. Over the years, I’ve been trying to make it up to Rachel After all, it was us who wronged the Sampson family back then” Richard said.
Is this related to my parents? Could there be some other hidden story Rachel thought to herself
At that moment, footsteps were heard from downstairs. Rachel turned around and deliberately asked loudly. “What are you doing here? Andrew put his hands in his pockets, looking annoyed. “This is my house. Do I need your permission to go wherever I

Chapter 18
Rachel pushed the door open and said to Richard, “Grandpa, Fiona made you some food. No matter what, your health is the most important. I won’t be around you in the future. You have to eat well.”
“What do you mean by that? Are you really leaving?” Richard asked.
Rachel nodded, “Grandpa, when Jennie was kidnapped before, I called Andrew, but he was with Yedda and didn’t come. Jennie almost got killed. I suspect the culprit is someone close to us. So I dare not live in the Zevon manor anymore.”
“You good–for–nothing! Jennie is your daughter. How could you ignore her safety for some shady woman? Are you even human? How could our Zevon family have someone as irresponsible as you!” Richard said.
“Grandpa, Tracy was sick at that time. I was at the hospital with her. Rachel likes to call me for no reason. I thought she was lying. It was me who told her to come home. Andrew said.
“Listen to what you’re saying. Is that even human talk?” Richard asked with a trembling hand, “Who is Tracy?
Rachel quickly answered, His daughter”
Hearing this. Richard almost fainted again, “You… you actually…”
Rachel, what are you talking about? Finally, Andrew hurriedly explained to his grandfather, “Tracy is Yedda’s daughter bom abroad. She’s not in good health and has been in the hospital for years. I just feel bad for Yedda, a single mom struggling with a sick kid,”
“But Jennie is your own daughter! How can you just ignore your own flesh and blood?” Richard said
“I was just……
“Shut up!” Richard roared, “Now, as the head of the Zevon family. I demand that you cut ties with that woman, apologize to Rachel properly, admit you were wrong, and promise never to get involved with those shady women again!”
“Grandpa… Andrew looked extremely reluctant, clearly unwilling to apologize.
Rachel couldn’t stand it anymore. If this continued, Richard would probably get so angry that he’d have another fit.
Rachel took Richard’s hand, signaling with her eyes for Andrew to leave. Andrew, like he’d found a lifeline, quickly slipped away.
“What a good–for–nothing! Tell me, how did I end up raising such a disappointment?” Richard said.
“Alright, Grandpa. I don’t even care why you’re so upset, Rachel said calmly as she poured a glass of water for Richard and handed it to him. “You see, Grandpa, there’s no future between us. It’s just not meant to be.”
“There are no buts about it. Grandpa, if it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to–be, Our generation has its own destiny, and you need to let
Rachel’s calmness, tinged with a sense of relief and freedom, made Richard feel a bit sad.
“You ve been like my own granddaughter since you were little. I know what kind of person you are, but this…” Richard said. “Don’t feel bad for me. I’ve been with the Zevon family for so long, and you’ve already honored my parents… Rachel said. “But I still feel guilty.”
Rachel asked again, Guilty about what? Did you find some clues about my parents‘ accident back then?”
Upon hearing thus, Richard viubly froze for a few seconds, Rachel really wanted to get some information out of him.
But as the head of the Zevon family, with years of experience in the business world, he wasn’t someone who could be easily manipulated by Rachel’s few words
“No, not yet I was just lamenting that I didn’t take good care of you. My dear, since you’ve made up your mind, I respect your c Over the years, Eve come to see you as my own granddaughter. The Zevon family will always be your home. You can come back
choice any time you want,” Richard sand
Rachel hid her disappointment, chatted with Richard to comfort him, and then went downstairs to head home.
To her surprise, she saw Andrew waiting downstairs like a guard, with a stern and impatient look on his face. This couldn’t be good.
