Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 323

Mr. Fermon didn’t answer Marina’s question.

He continued to gaze intently at the road ahead.

In his heart, he firmly believed that Yenny would surely come.

And he was right.

At about 3:10 pm, a slender figure appeared on the road ahead.

Marina and Simon, who had been monitoring the situation, instinctively became more alert.

“Someone’s coming!” Marina quickly alerted Mr. Fermon, who was still waiting in the cemetery.

“Okay,” Mr. Fermon replied softly.

After a moment, he saw Yenny.

Mr. Fermon was not wearing a mask today. He confronted Yenny with his fearsome face..

When Yenny saw Mr. Fermon’s face, he was momentarily stunned but then burst into laughter.

“Is this what the esteemed young master of the Pembroke family looks like? Haha, your face is truly amusing.” Yenny’s tone was full of mockery.

“I also find my face repulsive, so I usually wear a mask. But today, I came to meet you, so I took it off,” Mr. Fermon seemed completely unfazed by Yenny’s

tone.

Instead, he responded calmly.

“What? Do you think you can disgust me with this approach? Are you underestimating me? Yenny snorted coldly.

“I don’t intend to disgust you. I just want you to see for yourself. Will your resentment diminish when you look at this face of mine? It’s your creation.” Mr. Fermon looked at Yenny seriously.

“Resentment? Why would I have resentment? Aren’t you aware that I am an emotionless monster? How can an emotionless monster harbor feelings of resentment?” Yenny laughed wildly and recklessly.

“…I’m sorry.” However, as he looked at Yenny in this state, a hint of remorse appeared in Mr. Fermon’s eyes.

“What did you say…?” Yenny’s voice became incredulous, and he stared intensely at Mr. Fermon.

Yenny maintained his intense gaze, staring at Mr. Fermon in silence.

“I truly am sorry. If I had taken you out from the very beginning when I first learned of your existence, perhaps… you wouldn’t have turned out like this,”

Mr. Fermon’s voice was lowánd burdened.

However, his whole presence emitted an overwhelming sense of sadness.

Yenny looked at him, his lips twitching as if he wanted to say something.

But he didn’t know what to say.

In the end, he remained in that position, staring intensely at the person before him.

“Even if I tell you, you might not believe it. Before I even saw you, I could always feel your presence,” Mr. Fermon spoke gently and calmly.

He continued, “They told me I had a younger brother before, but he was no longer with us.

To spare our parents from sorrow, it was forbidden to mention your existence at home.

“But no matter what others say, I still firmly believe that you must still be alive,

“And it was because of this belief that I hid in the trunk of Mom and Dad’s car and finally saw you…

“I know, at that moment, you also saw me.” Mr. Fermon’s voice was soothing, carrying a comforting power.

He spoke at a moderate pace and with a calming force.

“So what if you saw me? You still ran away without looking back!

“I am a monster, so it’s normal for you to be afraid of me,” Yenny scoffed.

“I was indeed afraid at that time…” Mr. Fermon admitted directly.

Yenny was once again at a loss for words.

“After I learned about your existence, I researched a lot of information. I knew that people with innate genetic defects like you would eventually end up on a path of destruction.”

“That’s why I believed that the choice our parents made for you was correct.

“They built a fortress for you, where you would be safe as long as you stayed inside,” Mr. Fermon’s gaze turned deep as he spoke.

It was as if he was reminiscing about something from a long time ago.

“Safe? Fortress? You call that thing a safe fortress? For me, it’s nothing but a prison!

“But someone like you, who grew up in the sunlight and in front of people, how could you possibly care about the thoughts of creatures like us?” Yenny said with disdain in his eyes.

“Who said I didn’t care?” Mr. Fermon instinctively retorted.

Yenny’s eyebrows furrowed instantly upon hearing his response.

“Do you remember the toys that would appear on your windowsill every now and then?” Mr. Fermon spoke after a moment of silence.

“How do you know about that?” Yenny’s expression turned cold in an instant.

“Because I gave you those gifts,” Mr. Fermon revealed.

“That’s impossible!” Yenny immediately denied it without hesitation.

“The first time the gifts appeared was on June 1st..

“It was Children’s Day, and I had a very happy day at school.

“But then, I suddenly thought of you, alone in the mansion without anyone to play with,” Mr. Fermon continued.

“So after school, I quietly bought you a gift, bypassed the driver, and secretly placed it on your windowsill.

“Oh, and I also tucked a holiday card underneath that gift.

“The card said, “Happy Holidays!

“And the gift I gave you was a roly–poly toy.

“Back then, I probably couldn’t distinguish what things were considered attractive.

“But the moment I saw that roly–poly toy, I felt it resembled you.

“I hope you can always be like that roly–poly toy. No matter what difficulties or obstacles you face, every time you are knocked down, I hope you can stand

up again.”

Mr. Fermon’s expression remained earnest as he said these words.

But Yenny’s reaction was one of disbelief and intense excitement.

“This is impossible. This is absolutely impossible!” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

He didn’t believe a word Mr. Fermon said.

One had to know that during the 18 years he was imprisoned, those gifts that appeared on his windowsill every now and then were the only things he

could look forward to.

They made him feel that he wasn’t abandoned by the world.

That someone was secretly watching over him.

That was the only glimmer of light in his dark life.

However, Mr. Fermon was telling him he was the one behind those lights.

But Mr. Fermon clearly hated him the most!

This was absolutely impossible!

Mr. Fermon said, “If you don’t believe me, I can explain every gift to you.

“I can even explain every detail to you. If you don’t believe me, I can take you to that gift shop.”

“I have been there before, and it’s still running.

“The shopkeeper has a good memory. He should still remember me.” Mr. Fermon gradually solidified his claims, providing evidence and addressing each

doubt one by one.
