Chapter 1054 Skyler Is Disgusted
Therefore, she was strongly against Flavian marrying his mistress. Yet, he was deeply in love with that mistress and was willing to turn his back on the Kings Family to elope with her.
"If you insist on being with that woman, you're no longer a member of the Kings Family from today onward!" Elizabeth snarled.
Flavian hugged the woman, bowed at Elizabeth, and said, "Mother, I'm sorry for being such a disappointment. Please take care of yourself after this." After that, he left with that woman without a backward glance.
Because of this matter, Elizabeth threw a huge temper and collapsed. Later, she deliberately released some news, hoping that her son would realize his mistakes and return. To her dismay, she never heard back from Flavian after that day.
Thus, she could only announce to the public that Flavian had died in an accident. Elizabeth hated the fact that her son disappointed her and eloped with a woman. At the same time, she hated herself for forcing Flavian, her beloved son, away so heartlessly, which was why she doted on Matthew a lot.
Firstly, she felt guilt toward him. Secondly, she used the opportunity to shower all the love she had for her son on him as well.
In the beginning, Matthew thought that his father was indeed dead, but he accidentally found out one day that he didn't die and merely eloped with another woman. After that particular discovery, he had nothing but hate for Flavian. That man didn't contact him for more than ten years but suddenly decided
to announce his presence now? The instant that man made himself known, Matthew could hear the peaceful and quiet life that he had hoped for shatter into smithereens, and his mood turned somber at the thought of this.
Somehow… I think life won't be peaceful after this, he thought wearily. He held the cigarette between his fingers, flicked off the ashes, and frowned deeply.
In the meantime, a mysterious and uninvited guest appeared at the Kings Residence. The moment that person made himself known, Yura sent everyone out of the room when he met Elizabeth.
The mysterious person fell to his knees on the floor with a thud and bowed to Elizabeth. Finally, he used the same tone as he did back then when he left and said, "Mother, I didn't fulfill my duties as a son, but I've returned to visit you."
Although Elizabeth was a bit senile—sometimes clear in her head and sometimes not—she happened to be clear-minded now and recognized the person in front of her. Nevertheless, she was expressionless and rose to her feet composedly before heading toward her bedroom. "I don't know you."
Then, she entered her room and shut the door. The man in the living room said nothing and knelt there for a long time before finally leaving. After he left, Elizabeth hid in her room and cried her heart out. Eventually, she fell into a deep slumber, and when she woke again, she seemed to have forgotten everything.
Yura, who had been by her side for half her life, felt sorry for her when she saw that her dementia had kicked in again. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Back at Pinewoods Villa, the kitchen staff prepared a sumptuous dinner, and everyone gathered around the table after the food was ready.
"Let's eat," Matthew said as the master of the family. Only then did everyone begin to dig in.
However, next to Skyler, Shirley didn't touch her cutleries and stole a look from the corner of her eyes at Sofia, who was seated on the other side of Skyler. When she saw how beautiful the other part looked, the last shard of strength she had left was crushed to smithereens.
"Skye, I remember that you like fish." Sofia had a gentle smile on her face as she placed a small serving of fish in front of Skyler.
This scene burned Shirley's eyes badly, and she was terrified to remove her mask and show Sofia the hideous scar on her face.
Skyler glanced at the fish on his plate coldly and emotionlessly said to the servant behind him, "Madam Lenski, please change to another plate for me." His request was as good as a harsh slap on Sofia's face, and her cheeks burned brightly from embarrassment.
While she was still stunned and at a loss, she saw Skyler getting some goose liver for Shirley. "My dear, don't just sit there. Eat something."
