gentleman's servant

To my surprise, my father showed up at home the next day.

The handsome and suave father in a black dress is totally out of place in this dilapidated wooden house.

He cried when he saw his mother, bent his legs, knelt at her feet, hugged her and cried.

"Grace, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you have suffered..." He hugged her like he was holding the most precious treasure, and tears soon wet his mother's hair.

The mother was even more out of breath from crying, her fat body trembled slightly, and her eyes were flushed.They waited all night at the port that day, and they were not picked up by Oscar until the next day.I didn't tell them about their father, and I didn't intend to let them meet again, but who knew that my father actually came here.

"I'm back, I will never leave you and the children again..." The father kissed her without hesitation, God knows that the mother is no longer the beautiful and slender woman more than ten years ago, and she is buried all day long. In the wine barrel, this made her face age rapidly, and she was wrinkled and graying before the age of 40.

"John...John..." My mother finally couldn't control it, and burst into tears, as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances over the years.

"Shhhh..." her father comforted her and said, "Don't be so loud, I came here at a risk, and if anyone knows about it, they will take me to court again."

Mother nodded, stopped crying, but threw herself into his arms all at once, weeping muffledly, big and big teardrops rolled down, dripping on the yellow earth of the house.

"I know all the hardships you have endured these years. You raised our child alone. I want to thank you. I will never let anyone bully you again." The father patted her on the back and said: "In the future Enough."

An Qi and the others were very strange to their father, but they also started crying unknowingly.

One by one the father put his arms around them, his arms long enough to wrap around his wife and daughter.

"I brought you good things, silk, clothes, food, and you will live with me in a big manor, we will become nobles, and I will never let you suffer again, my children." The father was excited said.

"Father..." I struggled and said, "Why did you come here..."

"Owen." My father let go of my mother, came over and put his arms around my shoulders: "My son, what I said yesterday was too much, don't blame me, I really want to make up for you mother and son, come home with me, You don't have to be a servant anymore."

"I'm not going back with you, and neither are Mom and my sisters," I said, looking into his eyes.

My mother and An Qi were overwhelmed by my words. My mother didn't even have time to wipe her tears, so she angrily reprimanded me: "Silly boy, how can you talk to your father like this! Your father has been imprisoned for so many years. We are reunited, but you say such things, are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy, you ask him! Do you really think he didn't abandon us back then? He pretended to be a baron for the sake of glory and wealth, and left us behind. He was imprisoned because he He was delusional about that noble lady and wanted to control other people's manors. That noble lady had a lover long ago and didn't take him seriously, so he became jealous and took the opportunity to kill her!" I said angrily.

"Owen, you...do you know everything?" My father looked at me in pain.

"Yes, I know it all, and I know you used me! Even though you knew it would threaten my life, you didn't hesitate to use me! You don't deserve to call my name, you don't deserve to be our father !” I said angrily: “Please leave here, I will take good care of my mother and sisters, you can enjoy your glory and wealth by yourself, but I won’t let you get any closer to us!”

"God, I was wrong..." My father suddenly knelt down in front of me, and he cried and said, "I know I did something wrong, but I don't regret doing it. I can only beg your forgiveness, please forgive you Poor old father, don't separate me from you, don't abandon me..."

The mother rushed over crying, hugged the father and said, "What are you talking about? We will never leave you. No matter what you do, I don't blame you, we will never leave you!"

"Grace, listen to me. I really did something wrong. I concealed it from you because I couldn't say it. I was afraid that you would hate me. I did abandon you back then. When I was brought home by that woman, you know When I became a lord, I was dazzled by wealth and splendor. I was a beggar who couldn't even afford food, but suddenly I had a million-dollar family fortune and a beautiful and noble wife. Forgot about you and the kids on purpose. But I regret it. I knew I was wrong. I knew I was wrong when she imprisoned me. During the years I was imprisoned, every moment of my life Missing you and the kids, it's true, I swear to God! I know no woman in this world will love me like you, I have my own wife and daughter, you are the most important thing to me in this world People, I will make it up to you and never make you suffer again."

My mother was moved to tears by my father's words. She looked at me resolutely and said, "Owen, we will go with your father."

I sighed deeply, and I didn't know what to say. I am also a person who has done wrong things, and I have hurt people who love me deeply. What right do I have to blame him?

"You go, if mother and sister want to follow you, I will definitely not stop... But is this okay? You have just been sued in court for impersonating a nobleman, and you immediately took your wife and daughter back... ..."

"Don't worry, no one will doubt me anymore." My father opened his trouser legs, which were covered with a thick white cloth, and blood stains could be seen faintly.

I looked at the wound in amazement, he was really ruthless.

"I left a real scar this time, and Gorman was also sent to a mental hospital by me. No one has a chance to threaten us again. So what if I marry your mother? Can't it be because of me and your mother?" Did her deceased husband look too much alike, so she learned about each other, and then fell in love?"

"Marry me?" Mother asked in disbelief.

"Yes, I want to marry you again, this time you will become a real baroness!" The father looked deeply at his mother, the affection in his eyes was not fake, even though this woman was so old...

"Did you hear that? Owen, please forgive your father." My mother looked at me pleadingly.

Everyone in the family was waiting for my answer, but I couldn't bear this look, I didn't say anything, and ran out of the house as if escaping.

Trust is the most rare thing in this world, once lost it is hard to get back.

I can't forgive my father for the same reasons I can't forgive myself.

The mother and younger sisters were taken away by the father, and it is said that they lived in the manor of the father.

When I saw them again, they were all changed.

The mother and younger sisters put on gorgeous clothes and expensive jewelry. Although their words and deeds were still very rude, they already had the dignity of a nobleman.

They came separately to persuade me to go with them.

"What good is it for you to stay here as a servant? Reconcile with your father. He said he will send you to college. Then you will become a gentleman." Mother said.

"I have my own reasons for staying, so don't persuade me." I said.

"You guy, have you been a servant for a few years, and your ambition and dignity have been polished? Do you just want to be a lowly servant in your life? A great opportunity is in front of you, you are crazy It's gone!" Mother said, because she spoke too eagerly, and she shook her fan vigorously, and I knew it was because her corset was too tight.The way she looked now reminded me of those noble ladies, who always looked like that.

"What about a servant? It's my job. I support myself by my labor and I'm not ashamed of it." I retorted, "So I won't leave."

My mother gasped and said, "I know what you're struggling with. What you care about is that our wealth is not in the right way. What's the matter? Is it worth abandoning your loved ones for this? Or are you self-righteous after being a gentleman's servant for a few days? What a saint? Don't be stupid, my son, you were not such a pedantic person before, where did your cleverness go?"

An Qi also said to me: "Brother, isn't it good for us to be together as a family? Father has already repented. For the sake of us living a good life, is there anything that cannot be forgiven?"

I kept silent, and my mother got angry, stood up and left the room.

An Qi hesitated for a moment, then asked me in a low voice, "Is it because of Lord Viscount Oscar?"

I looked up at her in surprise, did she see something?

"Don't worry, brother Owen, I didn't tell anyone, I just suspected it before." An Qi bit her lips and said, "Because sometimes the way he looks at you is too strange, just like the way mother looks at father .”

Angie is the smartest girl in our family, and she knows it all.

"But I still have something to tell you." The young girl said hesitantly: "You are right, we are Eric, farmers from Mormont Manor for generations, raised by alcoholic mothers. We were abducted from a small pit, for One bite, how many lies we have lied and how many bad things we have done, so I don't think it is wrong for my father to covet wealth and even kill people for it. Because we are Eric, this is our family, there is no need to cover up our meanness and vanity.

I don't know what is the relationship between you and the baron, but the relationship between men and men is not tolerated in the world, even the relationship between men and women is not necessarily stable, let alone you.Maybe you swore to each other when you were young, but after a year, can you guarantee that your relationship will never change?Can you guarantee that you will not be abandoned? "

I opened my mouth to refute, but was interrupted by An Qi.

"Father may not be that reliable, but his money and power are not fake, and now he really wants to make it up to us. Listen to me, being a gentleman is not incompatible with your relationship with him. Listen to your father and go to college , so that even if there is a rift in your relationship in the future, you will not have nothing. Mom and Dad are also doing it for your own good, so you have to think about it carefully. "

Angie left, I didn't think too much, but went back to a peaceful life.

To my surprise, Oscar suddenly became abnormal.

He often loses his temper for no reason, but suddenly hugs me and kisses me hard.He also sneaked into my room in the middle of the night, tossed me like crazy, and then hugged me tightly until dawn.

The way he looked at me became more and more strange. Although he looked at me blankly, there was no me at all inside. He was always distracted, even the guests disappeared, and he hid in the study all day long.

I didn't know what happened to him, until one day in the middle of the night, I was sound asleep, but I was suddenly woken up by him.

I thought he was going to do something again, but just as I was going to hug him, he pressed my shoulders to prevent me from moving, and then cold tears fell on my cheeks.
