"How are Freya and I not rted? She''s still Uncle Nathan''s goddaughter and my rtive. She''s also the mother of my biological niece. Isn''t it normal for us to
chat?"
Carson was usually mild-tempered, but he felt unhappy from being scolded by Rodney.
"Really? Why do I feel like she''s seducing you on purpose? Look at the emojis she sent you. They''re filled with ambiguity." Rodney had the urge to smash Carson''s phone on the spot. "Which brother-inw and sister-inw''s rtionship is so close like Freya and yours?"
After feeling astonished, Carson''s brows knitted together in a tight frown out of anger. "What''s wrong with greeting each other on New Year''s? This is basic courtesy, and those emojis are in trend nowadays. We, young people, use them a lot. Brother, I finally understand why my sister-inw wanted to divorce you. I realized you''re just too unreasonable."
"If it weren''t for you helping Jessica back then, would Freya and I be divorced? You can even often look at Dani''s photos now. On the other hand, me, Dani''s father, has never received even one photo."
Rodney unleashed the pent-up rage he felt that night.
He used Carson and said, "Besides, Sarah is your sister-inw too. Have you ever treated her even just a little bit like how you treat Freya? You didn''t even greet her when she came over for a meal tonight. She sat there alone, and no one spoke to her. Do you know how awkward I felt?"
"That''s because I don''t like that woman at all. No one in the family likes her." Carson got angry too. "You were the one who insisted on calling her over for New Year''s Eve and made everyone unhappy. Since you like her, you could''ve just celebrated the day with her outside. Who asked you to bring her back?"
"Carson Snow, do you think I don''t dare to hit you?"
Rodney exerted more strength while grabbing Carson''s cor.
"I asked the two of you to tidy things up, yet you''re fighting downstairs on New Year''s."
At that moment, Jason, Wendy, and Jessica came downstairs after hearing themotion.
"Dad, you''re all here at the right time," Carsonined, "I sent Freya a new year''s greeting on Whatsapp and gave Dani some pocket money. Brother came after me like a lunatic and said Freya is seducing me. He even used me of not greeting Sarah tonight. 1 wasn''t the only one who didn''t greet her. Didn''t everyone ignore her as well? Am I easy to bully because I''m young? My phone is still in his hands now."
Initially, Carson had felt guilty about betraying Rodney. However, that feeling had vanished at that moment. He thought Rodney had be apletely different person after getting together with Sarah. He was unreasonable.
"Rodney, should you go get your brain checked?"
Jason could not tolerate it anymore and scolded him," Before this, you said something was going on between Freya and Ryan. Now, you''re saying that Freya is seducing your biological brother. Let me tell you, I received Freya''s new year''s greeting just now too. Am I being seduced by her as well?"
Rodney''s head nked out from being scolded. His father had received a
greeting from her too. He was the only one who did not receive it. He, who used
to be the closest person to Freya, had be the person furthest away from her.
At that moment, Rodney suddenly felt suffocated.
"I received it too."
Wendy said, "I even chat with Freya every day. She often sends me videos and photos of Dani to me.
Although you two are divorced, she''s the first to greet me whenever it''s a holiday. She''s very polite. You used Carson of ignoring Sarah tonight. You''re trying to use us too, right? Rodney, when you mentioned wanting to bring Sarah over for New Year''s Eve, none of us agreed to it. You were the one who begged us. I said it was okay to bring her over and that we''d give her food, but we wouldn''t talk to her. You were the one who insisted on bringing her over."
"Mom, she''s already your daughter-inw. Why can''t you treat her like how you treated Freya in the past?" Rodney closed his eyes and said in agony, "Didn''t you see her pitiful state tonight? She even kept pleasing all of you."
Jessica said coldly, "I don''t think she''s pitiful. A family like ours will never ept a mistress bing a part of the family."
Wendy had the same opinion. However, she was exhausted because of Rodney. "Rodney, I beg you, let your parents off the hook. We''re old, yet you''re forcing us to ept a woman we dislike to be our daughter-inw. Many rtives were here tonight. To whom was she disying such a pitiful and aggrieved expression? It''s not because she''s disfigured and disabled. Even if nothing was wrong with her, I still wouldn''t like her because she has ill intentions."
