Forbidden Passion

Chapter 815 Secretly Dealing with the Vanderbilt Family

Phoebe took the kids out and saw Harper standing outside. He was dressed lavishly, his silk shirt glimmering under the streetlight.

But now he had two more mosquito bites on his face, red and swollen, making Harper look funny and approachable.

"Sir, why haven't you left yet?" Noomi blinked her eyes, looking at him curiously.

Harper looked at the four children, smiling. "I'm waiting for your Grandma to calm down."

Boris interrupted, "Sir, we're going out to play. Why don't you come with us? Maybe by the time we get back, Grandma will have calmed down."

Harper shook his head with a smile, "You guys go ahead and play. I'll wait here."

Phoebe nodded at Harper and didn't persuade him further. She and Pamela pushed the kids away, deliberately leaving the door slightly ajar.

There were too many people at home, and Evelyn couldn't bring herself to deal with Harper. By taking everyone away, she created an opportunity for just the two of them to be alone and have a conversation.

Actually, after thinking it through, she was quite happy. Her father was still alive. Although he was a stranger to her, the bond of blood and family was undeniable.

As Ruby said, being alive was always better than being dead.

Whether it was hate, resentment, love, or affection, having someone to share it with and comfort you was a wonderful thing.

Harper watched them leave and stood outside for a few more minutes. Seeing the door left ajar, he felt a moment of temptation.

He could quietly go in and say a few words of apology to Evelyn. Even if he got kicked out, at least he would have said what he wanted to say.

But Evelyn had waited for him for over twenty years. He was alive all this time but never thought to come back and find her and the kids.

Now, being shut out by Evelyn and unable to bear waiting for a few hours, he felt he was unworthy of her deep love and devotion.

Harper stared at the door gap for a long time, then reached out and closed the door.
