It had always been like this-a master and his servant. Whether it was his son, daughter, or wife, none of them chregularly. He truly was a good husband and father; so good that they all chose not to return.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as he was about to leave, a middle-aged man with an imposing presence and a commanding aura walked in.
"Hello, Brother-in-law." Geoffrey looked up, and was surprised to see him. "What brings you here?" "I cto see you." The man walked forward, adjusted his coat, and sat beside Geoffrey casually, as if this were his htoo. "And to talk about my sister." His sister was Xyla Jackson, Geoffrey's wife. The man, Christopher, was Xyla's second older brother. He was a few years younger than Geoffrey.
Geoffrey remained calm. "Are you here to criticize?" Christopher said, "Not exactly. I'm just worried about Xyla, who's been living at our family home. I know very well how she's been treated at the Carter Residence." Geoffrey said, "She is the lady of the house, and lives in luxury.
I haven't wronged her in the slightest, nor have I ever laid a finger on her." "I'm aware of that," Christopher said calmly. "But Xyla is unhappy, and only you and her know why." Geoffrey raised his chin slightly. "So, what's your reason for coming today?" "Geoffrey, our family loves Xyla.
Even though she's been married for many years; she's still our beloved sister. I don't want to see her unhappy. I chere today hoping you and my sister can have a better relationship, or at least, mend it." Geoffrey wasn't one to appreciate interference in his private matters. He said coldly, "Our relationship has been like this for years. Most couples are like us. There's nothing to mend." "But you two aren't most couples." Christopher's gaze turned cold. "Geoffrey, don't forget. If it weren't for marrying Xyla, you wouldn't be where you are today. Don't forget your roots and disappoint the Jackson family." "What's this? A threat?" Geoffrey narrowed his eyes as they glinted dangerously.
"It's just a reminder." Christopher smiled. "One shouldn't forget their beginnings." "The Jacksons haven't exactly refrained from benefiting fromover the years either," Geoffrey replied coldly. "After all, it's all a matter of trade and mutual benefit. You and I both understand that." "Spolicies are about to change," Christopher suddenly said. "Exclusive information is something many people dream of but can't obtain. I wonder if you're interested."
