Chapter 211: Real Or Fake Tears
Josie was still unable to come to terms with it.Anson tried to make her see sense.
"When you took me to meet your parents for the first time, they weren't happy with me either.They thought I was too old for you.Moreover, I had a child who was only two years younger than you.They tried everything to separate us.”
Josie glared at him and said, "I didn't expect you to hold a grudge after such a long time! It's been so many years now."
Anson smiled.
"I'm not holding a grudge.I'm just using it as an example to help you understand.That time, your parents were doing it for your own good.According to them, you were so great, and you deserved a man who was worthy of you.And obviously, I wasn't that man."
Josie knew where this conversation was going. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
"Your parents even forced you to go on a blind date.The moment they came to know you were pregnant, they even pushed you to have an abortion.The truth is that your parents did it for your own good.However, the way they went about hurt us a lot."
Josie didn't say anything.
Anson continued, "Try to understand, Josie.The way you're behaving now is exactly how your parents behaved all those years ago.You think you only have Ryan's interests at heart, but in fact, you're driving him away from us.Josie, we have already done a lot of wrong to Ryan.Now, he has finally met a girl that he really likes.I know that you don't like this girl, but for Ryan's sake, don't you think you should put aside whatever you feel and get to know Wendy more?"
"I know.Because of everything that we have done to Ryan, you're all the more afraid of him getting hurt emotionally.But we cannot just hold him back by not allowing him to fall in love or to get married just because we are worried about him, right?"
Josie was silent.
Of course, she wanted and hoped Ryan to be happy more than anyone else in this world.
Anson put his arm around her and squeezed her shoulder affectionately.
"Try to get to know Wendy.You have to trust our son's taste in choosing a life partner." Josie bit her lip.
"No matter what, you have to give it a try for the sake of Precious and Ray.A relation of the blood is really magical.Precious didn't know that Wendy is her mother, but still, she was unknowingly pulled towards her.You know how much Precious wanted a mother.Now that her biological mother is here, how can we deprive her of the opportunity to be with her mother? “
"Do you think you are the only one who cares about Precious?" said Josie with a glare at Anson.
"Of course, you care about her.After all, you're the one who dotes on her the most.You practically raised her from day one.Of course, you love her the most.That's why for her sake, you should accept her mother." Anson knew Josie best.
Every word he said impressed Josie.
"Josie, don't you want Ray to call you Grandma?"
Of course, she wanted that.He was her grandson.She got distressed just thinking about what all Raymond had gone through in his short life.
"Josie..."
"Honey, please give me some time to think about it."
"Okay!" Anson smiled.
This meant that Josie was willing to take the first step.
Meanwhile, in Eris' apartment, Brian was livid when he played Ruben and Cacia's video in front of her.
He was controlling his anger as he said, "Explain this to me.I want to know what's going on?"
Eris was stunned.
The joy on her face slowly slipped away.
She had taken two days' sick leave to rest quietly in her apartment.
In the morning, Brian had called to let her know that he was coming to see her.She was so happy that she especially dressed up for him.She didn't expect him to come here to question her or blame her.She didn't have to look at the video to know what it was.
It was the video of her parents' interview.
"Brian, did you come here because of this?"
"Eris! Don't you think you need to explain this to me?"
Yesterday, he had met Wendy.He had heard Eris on the phone that she had more ways of dealing with Wendy.
But later, Eris explained that she had never done anything to harass Wendy.She had just said that to annoy her.
'What explanation will she give with regards to the video?' he thought.
Because of Wendy, Brian didn't trust Eris much.
After seeing the video, he felt that he had to reconsider her morals.
'Why is he looking at me that way?' Eris was a little flustered.
She knew that Brian was now skeptical about her.
Fortunately, she already came with an excuse as soon as she saw the video.
Eris grabbed Brian's arm tightly and said with tears in her eyes, "Brian, I don't know what happened.I was stunned when I saw this in the morning too.I don't know why my parents said all that.I did call them, and they said that they still hated Wendy for stabbing me.Brian, my parents just wanted to get back at Wendy for me.You know my parents love me very much.Especially my mother.She herself witnessed Wendy stabbing me and almost killing me.That incident has left a trauma on my mother.Since my mother found out that Wendy is also one of the actresses working with me, she is in constant worry.She hasn't been able to sleep a wink because she thinks that Wendy has returned to take revenge and steal you from me."
Tears streamed down Eris' face, but she didn't wipe them away.
She held Brian's hand tightly and said, "Brian, my mother just wants to protect me.She didn't mean to hurt Wendy.She just wanted Wendy to quit the entertainment industry.She has also told me that if Wendy is willing to quit and stop troubling me, my mother would give her a huge amount of money as compensation."
Brian's expression kept changing as he heard Eris' explanation.
'This is weird.I don't feel sorry for Eris, seeing her cry pitifully.” He stared at her, trying to figure out whether the tears were real or fake.
The look in his eyes caused Eris to panic.
She continued to explain, "Brian, trust me.Had I known that my parents would say all that in front of the media, I would have definitely stopped them!"
"They are ruining Wendy's reputation!"
"I know! But they can't take it back!"
Brian suddenly stood up from the sofa.His face was frigid when he snapped, "No way! Wendy has already suffered a lot because of me.I can't let this go on!"
'What does he mean?' Eris' face changed drastically.
She grabbed his hand firmly and asked in a trembling voice, "Brian, what are you going to do?"
