The Love Book

In the nursing home, King Pei stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at the old man and the girl sitting opposite each other in the garden, half pinching his brow and cursing in his heart.

That bastard, although he is a doctor, but throw these two trouble to him, are not afraid that something will happen later?

He shook his head and wrinkled his brow in pain, didn’t stand for long, turned around and left.

Phoebe Barnes sat next to the old man and looked away, smiling softly, “Grandpa, won’t you be bored here all alone?”

The old man’s hands naturally rested on the wheelchair handle, the old face is extremely calm and frank, his voice is a bit muddy, “calculate a lifetime, just these few years can quietly enjoy, why would feel bored. When people are old, many things look lighter, there is not so much energy to think about trivial things.”

The breeze brushed by, the time seemed a few quiet.

Phoebe Barnes tilted her head to look at the old man, and after a long time, she spoke in a low voice, “Grandpa, can you tell me about Kemp’s past?”

It was impossible to expect him to tell her personally.

The old man was slightly stunned, turned his face to look at her, after all, is eroded by the years, the eyes, even though old and cloudy, but still like to see through everything, very deep and complex, “You want to know Kemp’s past?”

“His parents …”

Wind Rong said that Kemp Ross had a most gray days when he was young, both parents died, Ross Family business also into the biggest crisis ever.

The old man leaned back, his breath short and long, his eyes looked ahead, as if remembering, a slight hint of pain appeared under his eyes, “That was probably the biggest mistake I ever made.”

Phoebe Barnes did not say anything, almost kept a posture never moved, eyes looking at the side of the old man’s face.

“I spent almost all of my time in the first half of my life working, all of my energy on the rise and fall of my family, but raised two ungrateful sons.”

“Those two brats, all they know how to do is eat, drink and play all day long, they don’t want to get involved in work at all, they will only make a trip to the company unless I scold them twice, and most of the work arrangements are done by Kemp his mother.”

His mother?

Phoebe Barnes pulled the corners of her lips slightly, “His … mother … is very good?”

“Of course!” Even though the man has been dead for many years, the old man is still full of praise, full of relief, soft and slow tone with a little bit of guilt, “as the most outstanding graduate of Harvard, let her marry Kemp his father, I later realized how aggravating it was for her. If she hadn’t entered the Ross family, she would probably be living a very comfortable life now. I’m sorry for her.”

Phoebe Barnes’ eyes twitched in disbelief, “Was it a marriage?”

“If it’s a marriage, it’s fine.” The old man sighed and spoke plainly, “But it was me who did something unpleasant to make his father’s heart happy. I have long understood that even after marriage, that bastard is a dog that can’t change its ways, but still insisted on tying the two of them together. For the sake of her children, his mother gave up her divorce and has been helping me with the company for over a decade.”

Phoebe Barnes pursed her lips, guessing the man was more like his mother.

“Did something happen after that?” She asked in a low voice.

The old man did not know whether he was tired or caught up in the pain of the past, slightly closed his eyes, gently gasping for breath, silent for a while, before he rasped out, “When the company had an accident, I just called the boy to return to the company for a meeting, but how could not expect the two would be together. There was a car accident on the road … one dead and one injured.”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes was slightly shaken.

The one who passed away was … his mother?

The old man was silent for a long time this time, so long that Phoebe Barnes thought he was asleep and was just about to get up and push him back, when she heard him suddenly murmur out, “I thought that lesson could make that bastard come to his senses, how could I have imagined that … he would be with another woman the day after he was discharged from the hospital The day after he was discharged from the hospital, he rolled into bed with another woman and made that woman’s belly bigger, what a sin!”

Another woman?

Phoebe Barnes was stunned again, this woman is Bonnie Ning?

“So … you let them … get married?”

The father rolled into bed with another woman before the mother’s bones were cold, no wonder Kemp Ross had developed that kind of nature.

The old man spoke longingly, “If at that time, I hadn’t taken the whole Ross family too seriously and had that child aborted, perhaps … Kemp wouldn’t have blamed me so much.”

That child would be the current Genny Ross.

Phoebe Barnes lowered her eyes and spoke in a warm voice, “I don’t think … he blames you.”

The only person in the entire Ross family who was good to him, the only person who really cared about him, even if there was blame in his heart, Kemp Ross still thought the most of him, otherwise he wouldn’t have signed a deal with her without hesitation in order to cure the old man.

“That … father …”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

The old man’s face changed slightly, there is pain and also anger, seems to grit his teeth before squeezing out his voice, “dead … but just two years, he flirted with a woman in the car, even fell off the cliff with the car … that Sinner! Probably this is retribution, it is our family owes his mother.”

Phoebe Barnes pursed her lips and looked at the old man, suddenly not daring to ask any more questions.

Even if he hated and blamed, he was still a family member, and he was torn between love and hate, and he and Kemp Ross were probably the only ones left suffering in the entire Ross family.
