Terence looked at Edmund calmly, standing straight and unyielding. Since he could stand here today, he naturally knew what kind of obstruction he would encounter.
However, ever since Hester came back, he had been trapped in an endless abyss and suffering every day. He had had enough of it and didn't want it to be with trouble all the time.
"Grandpa Edmund, I understand what you said! I just hope that you can cancel the engagement with the Yu family and give me a chance!"
"Huh!" Edmund snorted as if he had heard a ridiculous joke. How could Terence make a decision on the engagement and marriage of the Liu family?
"Nonsense! Our Liu family has always been sincere. Marriage is not a game! What's more, from what aspect did Mr. Terence ask me to cancel the engagement?"
Terence kept silent, looking at the ground.
Indeed, he had no stand to ask for that.
"You can't speak it out, can you?" Lying on the rocking chair, Edmund sneered. His eyes were fixed on Terence, full of resentment.
The child of the Liu family had suffered such a great humiliation. How could he still stand here and ask for an engagement?
"Hester is a poor child with a simple mind. She didn't know your viciousness before, so she ended up with such a miserable life. We don't blame anyone else, for this is what she should bear.
But now she has realized that she doesn't want to have anything to do with you anymore. As her family, we naturally support her."
"Grandpa Edmund, you're right. I know it was my fault before, and I don't dare to beg you to forgive me. However, this is the affair between Hester and me. Please don't interfere!"
Terence nodded and stood, looking at Edmund in a neither humble nor pushy way.
"I understand that you owe Derek's family. But Hester is Hester, not her mother. She has no obligation to pay for her m
stood in the yard of the Liu family, he had to make his purpose clear. Did he really think that he was too old to understand?
"Terence, the reason why I let go your mother's scheme is that I don't want to have anything to do with your Qi family. From now on, don't think about Hester. She is the fiancee of Derek!"
The word "fiancee" hurt Terence deeply and he staggered. He had just been discharged from the hospital, and his face was a little pale. His thin body trembled in the wind, and he was no longer as fierce as before.
"Grandpa Edmund, please help me!"
"If you had known it earlier, you wouldn't have done that!" Edmund sighed and looked up at Terence, narrowing his eyes.
"Grandpa!" A loud voice interrupted the conversation. Leo walked in in high spirits with an unreadable expression on his face.
Raising his eyebrows, Edmund glanced at Leo, who was pretending to be calm, and slowly closed his eyes. "Why are you here?"
Well, love affairs should be left to the most sensible Leo!
"Oh, Mr. Terence, why are you here today?" Leo raised his eyebrows in surprise as if he had just found Terence. "Is it for the reason that you were beaten in the yard last time, so you come to seek justice today?"
