Ex-Husband Wants Badly To Resume Their Marriage

Chapter 617: Too Many Things This Year 

At this time, Sharon Allyson also turned her head.She was probably a little confused.

"Why are you still not sure?"

"Because she ran away after a man in front of everyone during her birthday party a few days ago.After the ancestral worship ceremony is over today, they will probably criticize her."

This kind of lecture would usually last a few hours.

For the younger generation of the Hood family, even if they were usually naughty and mischievous, they would still behave a little during the first two months of the routine gathering.

They were afraid that they would be dragged there and criticized for something.

However, they could not refute a single word and could only listen obediently.

If they tried to retort, or if their expressions were not right, the initial few hours of criticism might be extended to a few days.

Sharon Allyson let out an "oh" and slowly retracted her gaze. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Just as Robert Hood was happy, he met Jameson Proctor's cold gaze.He immediately put away the expression on his face and stood there upright.

Olivia subconsciously turned her head.

When she saw Jameson Proctor, her eyes lit up.

Just as she was about to run over, her father, Ethan Hood, grabbed her arm.

Ethan Hood scolded in a low voice, "Do you know what day it is today and where you are right now?"

Only then did Olivia Hood turn her head back reluctantly.

Ethan Hood looked at Jameson Proctor and Sharon Allyson, frowning.His expression was extremely ugly.

Sharon Allyson had seen this kind of expression many times, but she could understand it.

After all, no father had a good face when he saw the man who kidnapped his daughter.

Robert Hood's voice came again in a low voice, "The people are basically here.There are still five minutes left before we start worshipping the ancestors."

Sharon Allyson said, "Isn't Harry Hood not here yet?"

Just as she finished speaking, she saw a tall and straight figure walk in from outside the door.It was Harry Hood.

The originally noisy the ancestral hall instantly quieted down a lot because of his arrival.

After a short silence, a voice sounded in the crowd, "The worship is the most important matter of the year, and yet you arrive just on time.Don't you think it's a Little inappropriate?"

Sharon Allyson followed the voice and looked over.

The person who spoke was the second uncle who had previously taught Robert Hood a lesson at the door.

As soon as this was said, several voices immediately echoed in a low voice.

Harry Hood ignored them and walked into the ancestral hall.He bowed slightly to the elders to show his respect.

Olivia Hood's great-grandfather stood up shakily with his cane.

"Since everyone is here, let the ceremony begin.There are a lot of things to do this year.Don't waste time on this."

Harry Hood said, "Wait a moment.There is still one person who has not arrived."

The great-grandfather pushed up the glasses on his nose.

"Oh? Which family's child is playing and delayed?"

Everyone started to explain.

"It's not my son!"

"It's not my daughter either!"

Ethan Hood looked around and said to Harry Hood, "Who are you referring to?"

Harry Hood's mother stood at the side with a serious expression.

Harry Hood turned around, looked at the door of the ancestral hall, and said unhurriedly, "He's here."

Everyone looked over in unison.

Just as they were wondering who it was, a figure appeared in everyone's line of sight.

When Sharon Allyson saw this, her pupils couldn't help but widen.She also clearly felt Jameson Proctor's intense reaction.She pursed her lips lightly and held his hand.

Under everyone's surprised, shocked, and confused gazes, Charlotte Clarke walked step by step towards the ancestral hall.

She knelt in front of the eldest one, and behind him was the memorial tablet of the ancestors of the Hood family.

Charlotte Clarke said slowly, "The unfilial daughter, Charlotte Clarke, is back."

The eldest one held his walking stick and looked at her for a long time before he seemed to recognize her.

Seeing that his body was shaking, EthanHood supported him and sat back in the chair.

The eldest one narrowed his eyes.

"You are...Charlotte Clarke?"

Charlotte Clarke was dressed plainly and was kneeling straight.

"Uncle, it's me."

The crowd was in an uproar.

The younger generation might not know, but those who were around the same age as Charlotte Clarke knew about this matter.It had become a taboo for the Hood family since she left River City, and no one dared to mention it again.

The ancestral teachings of the Hood family had always been the same.

As a member of the Hood family, they could never leave River City for the rest of their lives.

As long as they left River City, they would never be able to return.

Back then, Charlotte Clarke had fallen in love with a man who had come from the South City.

In just a few short months, this relationship had spread widely and made others envious.

Later on, Charlotte Clarke would rather be removed from the genealogy and leave with him.

With this departure, Charlotte Clarke was no longer a member of the Hood family.

Of course, there were also some busybodies who had wanted to secretly find out what kind of life she had been living after she came to the South City.

But in the end, they could not find her.It had already been thirty years.

Who would have thought that she would return to the Hood family one day? The voices of doubt in the crowd grew louder and louder.

But the eldest one's expression remained calm and collected.

Harry Hood said, "I was the one who invited my aunt back.As a member of the Hood family, there is no reason not to go home."

After a long while, the eldest one finally spoke, "Harry, have you forgotten the rules of the Hood family?"

"I didn't forget.It's just that grandfather told me before his death that his last wish was to see his aunt return to the Hood family.Now that he's gone, I'm just fulfilling his last wish."

The surroundings were instantly silent.

When Old Master Hood was still alive, they had never heard him mention this daughter.

Everyone thought that he didn't care anymore.

However, even if Old Master Hood was still alive, he couldn't go against the ancestral teachings and let Charlotte Clarke return to the Hood family.

However, he was already dead.Harry Hood used his last wish to suppress others.

Even the eldest one couldn't say anything.

A moment later, the eldest one said, "Forget it, let's talk about this later.Let's worship the ancestors first."

Throughout the whole process, Charlotte Clarke had been kneeling there with her back straight.

Even if Harry Hood's mother went to help her, she had no intention of getting up.

In the crowd, a voice whispered, "Guess why Harry Hood brought her back?"

"Because of...Jameson Proctor?"

"This is only one reason.Now that Harry Hood's position is unstable, he brought Charlotte Clarke back.Although he said that he was following the wish of the deceased old man, he also formally broke the rules of the Hood family."

"Then, are we just going to watch like this?"

"Since Harry Hood became the head of the Hood family, the most important thing he did was to break the rules of the Hood family.It was also because of this that the older generation secretly disliked him and thought that he took himself too seriously.If he did this today, even if he forced Charlotte Clarke to return to the Hood family, they would only find him more displeasing."

"And that will be the time for us to act."
