Chapter 39: 039: Is there a possibility?
Translator: 549690339
Eleanor was really furious.
The Thompson family’s actions were disgusting!
If they had any dissatisfaction, they could have put the matter on the table and discussed it openly.
But what did they do?
Were they acting like decent human beings?
On one hand, they claimed they didn’t mind Terrence Lentz, but on the other hand, they secretly replaced River City’s number one talented lady with a country village girl.
Eleanor didn’t want to cause an explosion on the spot, as it wasn’t something glorious to begin with and she didn’t want to give people a show.
After thinking about it, Eleanor said to Terrence, “Don’t worry, Terrence, I will find you someone better.”
“No need.” Terrence responded indifferently.
Eleanor frowned, “Then what do you mean now, Terrence?”
Terrence continued, “I’ve made up my mind about Viola Thompson.”
“But don’t you think what the Thompson family did was dishonest? They didn’t even take our family seriously. Also, I misread Elizabeth Thompson before, she’s not a good person! Their adopted daughter is probably the same…”
Before Eleanor could finish, Terrence interrupted her, “The Thompson family is the Thompson family, Viola is Viola.”
Terrence had always been a man of few words.
He never said two words when one would do.
At this point, his face was already showing impatience.
At that moment, Charlotte Young approached with a smile, “Mom, since Terrence has made his own plans, let’s not interfere. Your original intention was to ensure Terrence’s happiness, so as long as he doesn’t regret it, that’s all that matters.”
Charlotte would love for Terrence to marry the country village girl as soon as possible.
Eleanor frowned.
She still couldn’t quite accept Viola.
Patriarch Lentz spoke up at this moment, “Do you know Viola?”
“Then do you think I know Elizabeth Thompson?” Terrence counter-questioned.
Patriarch Lentz was momentarily stunned, “So, you’re serious?”
“Yes.”
Patriarch Lentz sighed and continued, “Terrence, you’re still young and haven’t experienced much about the ways of the world. How about this, you two get to know each other first, and see if you’re compatible.”
“I’ve said all I need to say.” Terrence looked at Patriarch Lentz, “Grandpa, I’m going upstairs.”
“Go ahead.”
Patriarch Lentz nodded.
Terrence turned and headed upstairs.
Watching Terrence’s retreating figure, Eleanor sighed, “Dad, you shouldn’t have agreed to this!”
Not a single one of the Thompson family members is any good!
Including that country girl they just brought back.
Terrence has already suffered once, and absolutely cannot be allowed to suffer a second time.
“Do you think Terrence’s character would let me say no if I disagreed?” Patriarch Lentz countered.
Eleanor frowned.
Patriarch Lentz advised, “Let nature take its course.”
He hoped that Viola wouldn’t let Terrence down with the trust he had in her.
Having said that, Patriarch Lentz also turned and went back into the room.
Charlotte held Eleanor’s arm, “Mom, try to be more open-minded. Children have their own fortunes, and Terrence isn’t a child anymore. He knows what he’s doing.”
Eleanor’s face was full of distress, “The Thompson family is just despicable! If I had known back then, I would never have agreed to the marriage alliance.”
If they hadn’t agreed to the marriage alliance with the Lentz family back then, today’s situation wouldn’t have happened.
“Mom, you haven’t met Young Miss Thompson yet, what if she’s different from Elizabeth Thompson?” At this point, she paused, then continued, “Actually, I
don’t mean to be rude, but it’s not entirely the Thompson family’s fault for backing out of the marriage…”
Her words had a double meaning.
Eleanor knew very well what kind of person Terrence was.
After all, Elizabeth Thompson was the famous talented lady of River City.
How could a talented lady be willing to marry a good-for-nothing?
Eleanor pulled her hand back, her brow and eyes full of anger, “When Terrence was composing poems back then, Elizabeth was still playing in the mud!”
Terrence was at the peak of his life back then.
Yet the Lentz family didn’t despise Elizabeth Thompson in the slightest.
And now?
Charlotte didn’t get angry either, stepped forward again to hold Eleanor’s hand and said, “Mom, I didn’t mean it like that. Don’t be angry.”
Eleanor didn’t speak.
Charlotte knew she had said the wrong thing, so she continued with an apologetic smile, “Mom, I believe in Terrence. He’s just going through a rough patch in life now, but one day, he’ll rebound. When that happens, let Elizabeth regret it!”
Rebound?
How could that be possible?
With Terrence looking like mud that couldn’t be scraped together?
Her mother-in-law was great in every way, but she was just too biased.
Her own husband, Charlotte, was filial, career-minded and had provided the family with a grandson, yet Eleanor could only see that good-for-nothing.
Did she really think a good-for-nothing would take care of her?
Just wait and see.
Sooner or later, she’ll get her just deserts.
Upon hearing Charlotte’s words, Eleanor felt better, “That’s right! Let her regret it!”
On the third floor.
The room light was off.
Only the light reflecting from the computer screen illuminated the man’s face.
The man held the mouse in one hand and browsed the news from three months ago, page by page.
Miss Thompson’s sudden death.
The next moment, the man took out his cell phone and made a call. “Hello.” An old voice came through the phone, “Mr. Terrence.”
“Is it possible…”
“Go ahead.”
The man half-closed his eyes, “She has already awakened, just without experiencing the shipwreck?”
All this time, he’d been paying attention to those injured in the shipwreck.
But the results had been extremely disappointing.
Upon hearing this,
There was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by, “No. Your old friend died because of the shipwreck, but they will also be reborn because of it.”
“Are you sure?” “Yes, I’m sure.” The man didn’t speak again, and immediately hung up the phone.
Why?
Why did she give him such a strong sense of déjå vu?
Especially the fleeting glance at Show Mountain.
And
Who exactly was behind the Taro Milk Tea that had taken the internet by storm recently?
Within a moment, Terrence picked up the bottle of mineral water on the table, opened the cap, and drank more than half of it in one gulp.
On the other side.
The Wilson family.
During breakfast, Angus Wilson suddenly realized something and looked up at his wife excitedly, “Did you notice?”
“Notice what?” Mrs. Wilson was confused.
Angus exclaimed, “I didn’t cough when I woke up this morning! And I slept really well last night, I didn’t get up in the middle of the night!”
With that said, Mrs. Wilson was also a bit surprised>.
Angus had been suffering from insomnia for a long time.
And every day, precisely at 7 a.m., she would be awakened by his uncontrollable cough.
However, today, she slept all the way through, waking up naturally without hearing any disturbance.
“It really seems so!”
Angus continued, “This Miss Thompson is really a divine doctor! I’ve taken so many medications without any effect, but with her, one bowl of soup solved all my problems!”
With this, Angus believed even more firmly that Viola could heal Edith Bennett.
Mrs. Wilson looked at Angus, a bit curious, “What’s the full name of this Miss Thompson? How old is she this year? She really seems to be amazing..”
