Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 12 Thank Goodness You’re All Right

Samuel froze with the pen in his hand. A large spurt of ink spread on the paper, ruining his fine calligraphy. His face darkened as he lowered his pen. “I already said that she had a questionable character. She can’t marry into our family.”

“But weren’t you continuously praising her during the meal earlier?” Alexander refuted.

“Is there anything wrong with me praising someone who won’t have any relations with us in the future? Why would there be a need for me to offend her?” Samuel explained his reason for praising Abigail.

“Are you prejudiced against her just because she wasn’t willing to marry Julian?” Alexander questioned. “She stole Annalise’s boyfriend!”

“Well, didn’t Annalise steal her fiancé as well? Then can’t I say that Annalise also has questionable morals?” Alexander rebutted, unwilling to back down.

“She lacks decency. Before she got married, she-”

Alexander interrupted, “Grandpa, it’s normal for people to live together before marriage nowadays. You can’t keep using old-fashioned perspectives to restrict young people like us.”

At this, Samuel shot Alexander a glare.

“Grandpa, I’ve never begged you for anything in my life. I hope that you will allow me to make my own decision on this. If I’m not happy in the future, I definitely won’t blame you. I’ll bear all consequences for my decision. If my life turns out to be blissful, I’ll enjoy the happiness of my marriage. If it only ends bitterly, I’ll also bear the consequences. Grandpa, I hope that you can respect my decision on this. Please!” Alexander looked straight into Samuel’s eyes and pleaded with him.

He and Julian were brothers from different mothers. Julian was 26, and Alexander was 25.

Julian was a legitimate son of the Parks family. Since childhood, he had always been well respected and admired.

On the other hand, Alexander was an illegitimate child. He had to conceal his identity and was disrespected since childhood. Only when he turned seven did they finally bring him into the Parks family.

The reason for that was that Julian’s mother had passed away.

Otherwise, he might never have the chance to return to the Parks family in his entire life. After returning to the Parks family, his cousins insulted him and called him a bastard child. He hid in a corner and quivered in fear, and he told his mother that he didn’t like his new home.

His mother simply told him that the new house was huge, and they would get many things that they didn’t have before.

However, Alexander didn’t want all those things. He missed their small house, and he hated the new mansion that was always full of insults.

As he grew older, he gradually got used to life as a young master in a prominent family.

Soon, he came to realize that money was everything.

Before he returned to the Parks family, the school he attended was shabby. Besides that, the teachers were also extremely rude to him after knowing about his poor background and how he didn’t have a father. After he returned to the Parks family, he attended a prestigious school and learned about everything posh. When Tony and Samuel noticed his effort, their attitude toward him improved.
