Chapter 881 - 016 Belated Repentance
Feeling the change in her four children was on the day Ryan Parker and the two others were about to take a flight to pick up Celia Wade. All four of them unexpectedly showed up at the airport, with Zoey Parker holding flowers in her hands.
"Dad, Auntie, Ryan, we’ll wait for you to come back. If there’s anything that needs to be done here, Auntie, just give me a call," Zoey Parker stepped forward, speaking on behalf of Big Brother and her two younger brothers.
"Alright, thank you, Zoey. There isn’t much left to prepare here. It’s you— I saw the news the other day, Jett Auclair he..." Seeing Zoey Parker being friendly to her, Ellie Wilton spoke too quickly and let something slip. When she realized it, she looked at Zoey Parker apologetically, "Zoey, I’m sorry, Auntie didn’t mean to."
"You didn’t say anything wrong. You gave that Jett Auclair fellow two sons and a daughter, and yet is this how he goes around philandering? It was your own bad judgement at the start—you can’t blame anyone else," Marcus Parker wouldn’t allow Ellie Wilton to apologize to his daughter. What was said was true, so there was nothing to be sorry for.
Can one really blame anyone else for their daughter’s poor choice in men?
"..." Zoey Parker didn’t know what to say. Who could she blame when she was taken in by Jett Auclair’s sweet words at such a young age? Only now did she realize that Jett Auclair was a bona fide scoundrel who had no talent for making money but was all too skilled at spending it.
If it weren’t for her annual dividends from the Parker Family and the financial investments her friends helped her with, she feared that life for their family of five under the Auclair roof would have been difficult.
Now that Jett Auclair was treating her this way, she had come back to her parents’ home, and that deadbeat man hadn’t even bothered to come and see her, let alone take her back.
Initially, her father didn’t like Jett Auclair very much and had bluntly told her that the man was nothing but a freeloader. She still remembered her father holding her in his arms and saying more than once, "Zoey, if only you had been born a boy."
It was only now that she had begun to understand—if she were a boy, perhaps Ryan Parker wouldn’t have had to deal with this mess today.
