Chapter 341: Right now, just make Larson’s project a success.

Stefan stood near the balcony railing when he felt a presence behind him.

He didn’t turn, since he knew who it was.

When Nancy approached him, he inquired, “Did they leave already?” Stefan had already observed the car pulling away, but his mother’s words confirmed his suspicions.

“They did, and I believe we won’t see them again after today,” Stefan observed the melancholy in her tone.

“Are you sad because they won’t come again?” he said, watching his mother shake her head.

“No, but the way it all ended wasn’t something I imagined.” Nancy never wanted Marcus to be separated from his only family.

Whenever Marcus and his parents disagreed, Nancy would try to explain the situation to him, and he would agree to give them another chance.

However, after today, Nancy felt that there was nothing she could do to repair the relationship.

“I suppose this was inevitable one day, but I still hoped we received the blessing of our elders in happiness.” Nancy, having lost her parents a few years ago, took it upon herself to care for Marcus’ parents as a way to fill the void.

However, it’s possible that she failed to recognize the importance of keeping certain things private.

Regardless of his disappointment, Stefan grasped Nancy’s intended message.

“And what about Dad?

I am sure he must be starving because of me,” Stefan inquired, well aware of his father’s behavior in such situations.

“He won’t be starving, but by now he must be busy enjoying his drink,” replied Nancy.

Marcus would spend his time relaxing in the house’s little bar, sipping whiskey, a habit that was even more painful than smoking.

So Stefan decided to join him, stopping him from drowning in his pain.

“I assume he requires my companionship as well.” After we both lost our appetites due to the same person,” Stefan laughed as he stood up to leave.

“Don’t get wasted, though,” Nancy advised as she watched her son leave.

Stefan soon discovered his father sipping his drink at the small bar, but to his surprise, someone had also poured him another glass.

“Were you expecting me?” he said, joining his father and scooping up the glass to sip.

“I knew you were coming.

After all, we’re both upset with the same person, and only those who are hurt can truly understand their pain.

Marcus’ joke was light, eliciting a chuckle from Stefan.

“I agree, but isn’t that something we’ve grown accustomed to?” Stefan asked.

Stefan took a sip and gazed at his father.

“Unh, but this time it ended for real,” Marcus said as he swallowed the entire thing in one go.

“Slow down, old man.” Marcus tipped his head, noticing his son’s smile.

“Who did you refer to as an old man?

I am still young and charming,” he added, and Stefan agreed.

Certainly, you are.

However, if you continue to inflict harm on yourself, it is possible that you will not develop those wrinkles beneath your eyes.

Stefan noticed how his father’s eyes became somber.

But he did not stop there.

I know Aunt Janet is bothering you, Dad.

You’ve never been this persistent,” he inquired, attempting to see through his father’s blank expression.

Stefan came across something while trying to learn more about Jedrick, and something clicked.

He was his aunt’s classmate.

He wasn’t sure whether his father knew, but his insistence on working with Jedrick raised numerous questions.

Though his father was unlikely to speak up, Stefan approached him in the hopes that he would eventually open up about everything he had pent up.

His smile held many secrets, and it was the sole reason he felt compelled to stop his father from harming his only friend, who was Jedrick’s direct relative.

“There is nothing you need to know,” Marcus replied right away.

“I can if you allow me.

You simply need to open up, Dad.

Maybe I can help you,” Stefan insisted, hoping that his father will finally shatter the wall he’s built around his heart.

Marcus gazed at his son.

His expectant eyes begged him to trust him, but was he prepared?

With everything else on his mind, he didn’t want them to add to his stress, and when it came to his sister, he couldn’t afford to make a mistake.

“I will, but only when the timing is appropriate.

Right now, just make Larson’s project a success.

I need us to be in his excellent books.” Marcus strained his voice and averted his gaze.

Stefan didn’t engage in much debate, but simply agreed with him.

“Then I will not disappoint you, Dad.” Stefan said firmly, “I will make sure we have it all,” which caught Marcus’ attention.

He was confident that Stefan would never let him down.

All he had to do now was carefully pave the way to bring Jedrick down.

‘You killed my sister, and I will make sure you rot in hell, Jedrick.’ His thoughts raced with determination as he calculated how to destroy the man.

**** [Eveline’s Room] “Why aren’t you sleeping, love?” Gabriel inquired, noticing Eveline was still wide awake.

After she arrived home, she decided to speak with her mother, but Erna continued to avoid discussing the doctor, making things much more difficult for Eveline to understand.

She wanted to talk to Jonathan about it, but she held back and considered speaking directly with the mother, as Gabriel advised.

It would have been easier for her to track her phone and retrieve all of the information, but Erna kept her phone turned off the entire time, preventing her from finding anything.

She also had Susan on her mind, but she merely agreed with her mother’s statements and dismissed her concerns.

Eveline, unable to calm her mind, forced herself to sit up.

Her back slouched in defeat, and she closed her eyes to calm her heart.

Eveline was counting numbers to distract herself when she felt the bed spring, and a warmth wrapped her from behind, leaving sweet kisses on her shoulder.

“Do you want me to distract you?” Gabriel’s deep voice prompted her to draw closer to him, and a muted hum escaped her lips.
