“Oscar is an illegitimate child. He is not favored in the Pearson family and is often laughed at as a fool. When I first met him, I ignored him. I just thought that he was beautiful at first sight, Oscar was autistic and did not actively communicate with others, let alone please others. Of course, we ignored him.”
- ng. If he was ordinary, how could he become Dominick’s
As Vincent recalled, he suddenly laughed at himself. The facts proved that we were all wrong. best friend?”
Stephanie did not interrupt him. This was the first time she heard about the relationship between Dominick and Oscar. It turned out that they were good friends with very different personalities, which was really strange.
However, Vincent didn’t sound like he rejected Oscar. They were just a little distant.
*Stephanie, why do you look at me in that way? Do you think I look down on Owar just because he’s an illegitimate child? I distance myself from him because he is not a simple person.”
Vincent stared at Stephanie and suddenly became a little angry. “Stephanie, in your heart, Oscar is just your childhood sweetheart. After his mother died, he was taken back to the Pearson family and abused by his stepmother. Oscar was an illegitimate and autistic child, so you always thought that be was weak. Let me tell you. You underestimated him. Oscar is a freak.”
In the end. Vincent didn’t know how to describe it and snorted at Stephanie in frustration.⠀⠀
“Scotlan
and I didn’t know that Dominick was kidnapped by his mother. Oscar accidentally
by discovered it when he passed by that day.
“The first time we met was at a dinner party at Wellington Villa. li was a grand banquet, George was in charge of the family back then. On that day, he announced that he would hand over the Innovate Group to his only grandson, Dominick, who was just 13 years old. There were many distinguished guests that day, and it was very lively. Scott and I were forced to attend it with our parents. Even if Oscar was an illegitimate child, he was no exception. It was our homework to win over people and build good relationships. How could our families let go of such a good opportunity!”
Vincent shrugged his shoulders, his tone becoming more teasing.
“But Dominick didn’t do as his grandpa wanted that night. He didn’t show up but stood alone by the fence of the lotus pond in Wellington Villa. This banquet was held to celebrate him, but he didn’t look happy at all.
“Scott is actually one year older than Dominick, and Dominick and I are the same age. Although we grew up in an early mature environment, you can’t expect a 13–year–old kid to have a calm mind. Anyway, I was fed up with such social events. The banquet was held in the evening. I had a good relationship with Scott at that time, so I dragged him to explore the back garden of Wellington Villa. As a result, we found that Dominick was standing by the guardrail of the lotus pond in the cold wind, and his face was abnormally flushed, as if he had a high fever…”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Vincent paused, and his eyes became thoughtful. This happened a long time ago, and Dominick seemed to have never changed, just like when he was a child. He didn’t like others to understand him
“When Dominick is sick, he won’t ask for help as others do, as if he is trying to hurt himself on purpose
When Stephanie heard this, she blurted out anxiously, “Dominick is mentally normal. He doesn’t have a tendency to self–abuse”
“He is indeed mentally normal, but he has to bear too many things alone. He has no way to vent his depression, so he can only punish himself in extreme ways. Dominick feels that he has not done well enough”
Vincent’s voice gradually became lower, and he only dared to mutter to himself, “He did so after Oscar’s incident. He felt guilty and couldn’t let it go, so he punished himself…
Dominick was not all–mighty. Everyone had his or her moments of weakness, especially someone who burdened himself so much as Dominick did.
was all in the past, Vincem suddenly became enlightened. He stretched our his arms, gave a frivolous smile, and raised his voice.
“Anyway, Dominick fainted from the high fever in from of Scott and me. He curled up and muttered something as if he was having a nightmare. We were both shocked and wanted to ask for help. It was then that we noticed another person sitting in the pavilion of the lotus pond. Oscar came over with a thick paychology book. He squatted beside Dominick, opened his eyelids to check his pupills, and read something we couldn’t understand. Soon, Dominick seemed to be hypnotized. He looked painful while telling us all the details of how he was kidnapped by his mother Mary
“Scott and I stood there blankly. In the end, Oscar looked down, and the heavy book in his hand snapped shut. He only said. It turns out to be
useful. Then he left

Stephanie felt confused and complicated after hearing this. She knew that Oscar was that kind of person. He didn’t care about others or hisselt, as

if he didn’t know why he should live. He was indifferent to everything.
But Stephanie still found Dominick’s kidnapping confusing. “Vincent, since you and Scott knew about the truth at the time, why didn’t you tell his grandpa? Mary did such a heartless thing. She is not worthy of being a mother”
“If we exposed Mary, she would not be the way she is now. She would have been severely punished by Dominick’s grandpa. We decided not to reveal the truth not because we sympathized with her
Vincent paused, his tone somewhat sarcastic. “We kept the secret because Dominick chose to do so. At that time, he probably just wanted to protect his mother and keep the so–called maternal love that he had imagined out of his wildest dreams. How ridiculous!
Stephanie didn’t respond and fell silent.
The sky outside the window was getting darker and darker. It looked like there would be a heavy rainstorm today. At around 7 PM, the sun should be rising, but it was dark and seemed like evening,
Vincent stood up from the sofa. He had had enough coffee and was going to do some serious business, which was
the purpose for his visit today. It was time to go to the study on the second floor to find Dominick. After taking a few steps, Vincent suddenly thought of something. After a moment of hesitation, he turned around and shouted to Stephanie, who was in a daze, on the sofa
He said, “Stephanie, people like us have long been accustomed to these false feelings and cold business marriages, especially for Dominick. No matter what your relationship with Oscar was before, for the sake of the babies, don’t let Dominick down or abandon is not easy to trust someon him. Dominick wouldn’t marry you just for the babies. Stephanic, you are not stupid. You know he loves you very much.”
Dominick loved her very much.
