This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 915

Chapter 915 Understanding the Past

Now, he wanted to take this opportunity to get to understand everything he didn’t know about his parents. Rose lowered her head and drank tea calmly. Standing behind her, Mary continued to tell him about the past.

“When Master Homer was eleven, he avoided all the Fuller Family’s security guards and shook off his bodyguards, then secretly went to Westsanshire alone. Master Homer’s departure was simply bad news for the Fuller Family, and everyone thought he had been abducted, causing Old Mr. Fuller and Old Mrs. Fuller to nearly faint from the shock.

Even us, the staff, were extremely anxious and nearly flipped the city over looking for him, but after we searched for three days, we still didn’t find Master Homer. We had no idea where he went either. After all, technology was still underdeveloped back then, and even if the Fuller Family was powerful, it was not easy to find someone. Just when we thought Master Homer had really gotten abducted and we were turning desperate, he suddenly came back. When he came back…”

“What happened?” Toby narrowed his eyes.

Mary sighed. “He came back looking dejected. When he saw us, he immediately started crying, saying that Valerie didn’t remember him anymore, and she had another friend. That friend happened to be Connor.”

At that point, Toby could guess what happened after. Pursing his thin lips, he said solemnly, “Has Dad never gone to look for Mom since then?”

“Yes.” Mary nodded. “When Madam Valerie reached twenty years old, the Johann Family suddenly came to marry her into the Fuller Family. They said that it was an arranged marriage, but it’s more accurate to say that they wanted the Fuller Family to help them. At that time, the Johann Family had already begun to go downhill. Originally, Old Mr. Fuller and Old Mrs. Fuller didn’t agree to the marriage, but Master Homer had heard it and agreed, so the marriage contract between Master Homer and Madam Valerie was set just like that.”

“Then, did you know about Mom’s relationship with Connor back then?” Toby frowned.

Rose replied angrily, “How could we have known? At that time, not even the Johann Family knew, let alone us. Your mother and Connor kept their relationship secret and never told anyone. If we had known, we would’ve never agreed to your father’s engagement to your mother, and even if your father wanted to, we wouldn’t have allowed it.”

The other couple was already together, but if her son still got engaged to the girl, what would he become? A homewrecker who showed up halfway? How could a woman as arrogant as her allow her son to become the other man in a relationship? However, that was how God played games with people.

Her son thought he could finally be with the girl he liked, but unexpectedly, that girl was already with someone else. Her son, by mistake, still became a third party who was inserted in someone else’s relationship. Her heart hurt just thinking about it!

“When did you find out?” Toby’s frown deepened even further.

“What did you tell Mom?” Toby looked at her.

Rose waved her hand. “What else could I say except the usual stuff? I knew your mother loved Connor, so I told her that since she’s willing to marry my son, then she’d better forget about Connor as soon as possible and concentrate on being the daughter-in-law of the Fuller Family and the wife of my son. The Fuller Family would not treat her badly since it was her own choice after all, no? It wasn’t that we didn’t give her a chance, but she still chose your father in the end. Since she had made her choice, I told her not to regret it and think about her duty.”

“But my mom didn’t keep her promise.” A sardonic smile appeared on the corner of Toby’s lips. “She never forgot about Connor.”

“Yes. She had promised me that she would forget about Connor and be a good wife to your father, but she went back on her word. Not only did she not forget that man, but she also refused your father’s advances. Your father obviously felt sad, but he was still willing to help her.” Rose angrily pounded the ground twice with her cane, making a loud thumping sound.

“I was so angry. I was angry at your mother for treating my son like this. Since she had already married into our family, she was the Fuller Family’s daughter-in-law, but she was still hung up on another man. What did she take your father for? Did she look down on him that much?” Rose striked her chest in agony.

“All this time, I was aware of your mother’s treatment toward your father, but I thought that it was none of my business to interfere in their relationship, so I had never asked and always turned a blind eye to it. Still, after witnessing it too many times, it was natural that I would be unhappy.”
