She said pleadingly, “Williams, where are you? Tell me, are you arriving soon? I’ll go and meet you at the entrance
now, all right?”
Zeke took a deep breath and said, “Lacey, I’m very sorry. I am headed to the Southeast, and will probably only
make it back after a year or so. I’m sorry. I will definitely make it up to you in the future.”
With that, Zeke hung up immediately, for fear that he had spoken too much.
It would not do Lacey any good to know more.
Ares discovered that Zeke’s nails had already been buried deep into his flesh.
God knew how torturous is must have been for him to say those words just now.
At the end of true love is death, and only love that ends in death is love.
Lacey’s brain was buzzing away, and all she could think of was Zeke saying “I am sorry”.
Williams is not coming to the birthday party?
Does that mean that I will never meet him again?
No, this is not real. This is not real!
Clyde sniggered, “Hey, you heard it yourself. Zeke said he was going to the Southeast. Atlantis is at the Southeast!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis means that he is going to Atlantis to marry Princess Leia, and he does not want you anymore. He says he will
be back in a year or so; They will probably have a child by then, and you can just prepare yourself to be his
mistress!”
The Thisletons broke out in roaring laughter.
Shut up!
Lacey let out a heart-piercing roar, “It’s not like that! Williams will definitely come. He was just joking just now, and
he wants to give me a surprise. I... I’ll go to the door and wait for him there. If he doesn’t appear today, I’ll wait for
a whole day for him. If he doesn’t appear for a year, I’ll wait a whole year for him.”
Lacey ran out of the room in tears.
Daniel and Hannah were already stupefied.
They thought that Zeke and Lacey would be the perfect couple to bring envy to all.
However, who would have thought that Zeke would abandon Lacey in the search for fame and fortune?
Sigh, Princess Leia was too big a temptation.
Lennon and Diego looked at each other.
Honestly, they could not believe that their son could be this heartless and cruel.
However, all signs clearly pointed at the fact that Zeke was the type of hypocrite Clyde had made him out to be.
At that very moment, they did not know how to defend Zeke either.
Lacey waited at Thisleton’s door from morning till night to no avail.
She had cried her eyes out and stared at the busy traffic in front of the door.
Never in her wildest dreams had she ever pictured the day when Zeke would abandon her.
All of his promises and vows? Lies, all lies!
The four elders tried their utmost best to persuade Lacey to head home.
However, she flatly refused to do so and insisted on staying at the Thisleton’s family door to wait for Zeke.
Finally, Hannah had no choice but to remind her of the unborn child.
“Lacey, as much as you would like to push your limits, you should think for the child inside you.”
Lacey’s eyes finally lit up at the mention of her child.
She stood up and cradled her bump cautious. “Mother, both Little Williams and I are hungry. I’d like to have some
chicken soup.”
“All right, I’ll make you some immediately!” Hannah said while choking back tears.
For the next few days, both Zeke and Ares had vanished.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Thisletons were used to this.
Ares used to disappear out of the blue in the past, and he would be gone for months on end.
On this day, Clyde gathered everyone from the Thisleton family.
“Father has been missing for a few days and we have not been able to contact him. According to our family rules, I
am to temporarily assume the position as family leader. Is there any objection to that?”
Everyone shook their head.
“Very good,” said Clyde. “Where’s Lacey? Why don’t I see her?”
Someone whispered, “I’ve called her. She says she is too busy to be here.”
Clyde was furious. “As the family patriarch, how dare she disrespect me?
Oh yes, I heard that Linton Group is her personal enterprise and it is not merged with Thisleton Group. Is that true?
Hmph, not only is she ignoring the patriarch, but she is also running her own business out there on her own. This is
an ultimate insult to our family!
I hereby demand Linton Group to be merged with Thisleton Group. Is there any objection to that?
