Chapter 1065: Ruthless
"These years, I owe a lot to the mother and daughter, so I’m taking care of them nearby," Jerry Taylor said, without a hint of awkwardness."Uncle, don’t you have any other thoughts?" Kai Bright leaned over mischievously, squinting and winking as he asked.
"That depends on fate," Jerry replied with a laugh, completely ignoring Kai’s teasing. Whether he has any thoughts, that’s his own business.
Anyway, while talking, Jerry made it "accidentally" clear that everything between him and Chaya was innocent.
Even Ophelia Wilson was the result of a test tube.
"I heard there are quite a few people eyeing Lucy recently?" Jerry’s words immediately made Kai’s face droop, and he said resentfully, "Those opportunists, aren’t they just after Lucy’s identity, trying to become your son-in-law, uncle."
"I’m facing a lot of competition now, Uncle, what should I do?" Kai looked at Jerry hopefully.
As long as his uncle gave the signal, uh, no, spread the word that he was the chosen son-in-law, those persistent "wandering ghosts" would retreat.
"I think you should show your skills and defend your position without wavering," Jerry said with a gentle smile, which almost made Kai spurt blood, "No, uncle, we’re family, after all. You’re, like this, isn’t it a bit much?"
"I am the one Lucy chose," Kai said innocently, widening his eyes to let his uncle see that he and Lucy were mutually affectionate.
"Uncle believes Lucy won’t make a wrong choice," Jerry spoke with great certainty, yet the underlying meaning remained unchanged.
He still wanted to test Kai’s abilities.
"Uncle... No wonder you could stay hidden for so many years," Kai was speechless; it was pitch black, really pitch black!
His own lurking tasks were done in secret, not as discreet and well-hidden as his uncle’s.
Jerry patted Kai’s shoulder and smiled: "I just found out I have such a daughter, so I obviously have to be responsible for her future."
Therefore, testing Kai’s skills is one of the elements to ensure Lucy’s happiness.
If Kai can’t even pass this little test, or if Lucy is taken away by another man, it would only show either his ability is lacking or the affection between him and Lucy isn’t enough.
"Alright," Kai sighed deeply. He understood his uncle’s deep love for his daughter, but... why was he the one who ended up "unlucky"?
He just wanted to marry a wife.
Why was it so rocky?
After getting back, Kai immediately called Sophie Wilson: "Sophie, you have to help your brother. Whether I can be happy or not depends on this time."
"Bro, you’re being too dramatic, aren’t you? You think you’d lose to others? Do you think those people are better than you or that Lucy’s feelings for you are insufficient?" Sophie asked with amusement, truly surprised that one day her brother would appear so unsure.
"It’s different," Kai said with a light sigh, "The more you care about someone, the more cautious you become, worrying about the gains and losses. If it were someone else, who you don’t care about, you wouldn’t think so much."
Sophie couldn’t help laughing upon hearing that. Yeah, wasn’t it the same with her and Mr. Seymour?
Slowly adjusting in life, fearing to hurt the other person and also fearing they might leave.
