Aunt Grace looked at Oriana and then she turned and looked at Deacon, “Sir, something has happened to the Armstead family. Your mother and father has been confirmed dead!”
Deacon’s pupils shrank, and his expression suddenly changed. “What did you say?”
How was that possible?
His father was only in his fifties. Before they left that night, they had gone home for dinner. That night, his father stood outside and watched them drive away. He was still healthy and handsome.
“Sir, this is true. Your father passed away in his sleep. Your mother, she…”
Oriana’s eyes were red as she asked, “What’s wrong with Aunty Annabelle?”
“Miss, Deacon’s mother passed away the day after.”
Oriana’s gasped. When she heard about what happened to Alpha, she was speechless, and she had already guessed what happened to Annabelle.
Alpha and Annabelle both passed away.
They were gone.
Oriana’s slender body swayed twice and she fell to the ground.
“Miss!”
Aunty Grace exclaimed.
Deacon was even faster. He immediately reached out and pulled Oriana, who was about to fall, into his anns.
Oriana shivered, and tears rolled down from her eyes. She buried her small face full of tears in Deacon’s arms, and she burst into tears.
How could this be?
Deacon hugged Oriana tightly. A man’s emotions were always restrained.
Overnight, he lost his father and mother.
“Mr. Armstead, let’s hurry back.
Deacon nodded. “Prepare the car, we leave immediately!”
The sudden bad news disrupted all plans. The Armstead family was already in mourning. Deacon and Oriana had to rush back to attend the funeral.
Bounty was still in a coma. The person Oriana was most worried about was old Mrs. Samantha.
The luxurious car was ready, and Peterson suddenly ran over. “Master, Miss Hendrix, we just found out that the princess of the Mermen race is gone. She must have run away during the chaos!”
Just now, everyone was in a hurry as they prepared to return to Imperial, the Mermen princess had found a way to escape.
Oriana stared ahead of her, as she scowled. “Don’t worry, I’ll see her again soon.”
“Okay, ma’am.”
Deacon and Oriana rushed back to Imperial City. Annabelle and Alpha were buried together in the tomb. The sky in Imperial City began to drizzle again.
However, Mrs. Samantha was much stronger than they thought. This lady, who had been in charge of the Armstead family for decades had experienced alot of things in her life.
When Alpha and Annabelle were sent back to Imperial, Mrs. Samantha had sighed and muttered to herself, “Alright…this is fine…”
However, she did not attend the funeral. She thanked the guests behind closed doors and left everything to Deacon and Oriana.
In the cemetery, Oriana wore a black coat.
Alpha and Annabelle’s demeanor were fixed in everyone’s memory.
The sky was raining, and Oriana’s fair eyes were still red and swollen. She mumbled, “Actually, the night we left, I found out about dad’s abnormality, I should have persisted. It’s all my fault.”
Oriana blamed herself so much. If she hadn’t been deceived by Alpha’s tricks, wouldn’t everything have been different?
She had saved many people, but not the people around her.
Deacon was also dressed in black. “Oriana, you don’t have to blame yourself. Dad had a heart problem. He still needed a doctor. If he wouldn’t let you treat him, how could have you treated him?”
Speaking of which, everything that happened was because Alpha’s love life had been too difficult.
Oriana remembered that she had conspired with the old Mrs. Armstead to find Willow, Willow’s arrival gave Alpha a short鈥搇ived happiness.
She couldn’t do more, because everyone had their own path to take.
Oriana looked at Alpha and Annabelle’s grave and said softly, “If there is an afterlife, I hope that dad will be loved forever, and mom will be brave and live up to her love.”
A gust of wind blew Oriana’s words into the wind.
Deacon nodded, “Me too.”
“Has Marvin returned yet?”
Oriana asked.
Marvin’s background had already heen exposed. He was Alpha’s biological son and Deacon’s younger brother.
He didn’t even know that Alpha was dead.
That day in the mall, Annabelle saw the cold and elegant Marvin on the big screen. She did not expect that it would be her first and last time of seeing him.
Marvin and Annabelle’s mother鈥搒on relationship was so shallow.
When he mentioned Marvin, Deacon’s handsome eyebrows moved. He raised his thin lips and said, “Marvin participated in a front鈥揺nd medical research and development a few days ago. If he gets the news, he will definitely come back as soon as possible.”
Oriana knew that Marvin had become a prosperous person in the medical industry in the past years. She knew a few years ago that he could do it.
At this moment, there was a sound of approaching footsteps. Someone was coming.
few
Deacon and Oriana turned around at the same time. They saw an extended business luxurious car slowly stop. The assistant opened the rear door and Marvin stepped out.
Today, Marvin was dressed in black. He was handsome and cold. He held a black umbrella and wore a black sunglass.
Marvin finally returned.
The assistant stayed where he was. Marvin slowly walked over with a black umbrella. He walked over to the tombstone. He lowered his waist and offered the little white flower in his hand.
Marvin did not say anything, but stood quietly in front of the tombstone.
In fact, he didn’t know what to say.
Marvin’s cold black eyes fell on Alpha’s photo. His father was too unfamiliar to him, and he only realized today that Lily was not his biological mother. And that Annabelle was his biological mother.
His only encounter with Annabelle seemed to have been when he sneaked into the study when he was very young, and touched the paintings that his father had treasured.
After that, he never saw Annabelle again.
Until now, he had never seen Annabelle in person, not even a single glance.
So, what should he say?
His father and mother were so unfamiliar to him. What could he really say?
“Marvin, are you back?”
At this moment, a big hand landed on his shoulder and patted him.
Marvin looked sideways and looked at Deacon beside him. He was not used to it. Deacon suddenly became his brother. Over the years, he seemed to have been excluded from the Armstead family. He was used to it.
“Big brother.”
Marvin called out, and his cold black eyes fell on Oriana, who was behind Deacon.
Oriana also looked at him, a soft smile rippled from the bottom of her clear eyes, so warm and bright, “Hi, Marvin, it’s been a while.”
She hadn’t seen him for four years.
But for Marvin, he had met them not long ago. Hearing about her, he set out to travel thousands of miles, and secretly saw her.
Marvin pursed his lips and hid all his feelings from his eyes. “Sister鈥搃n鈥搇aw, yes, it’s been a while.”
“Yea,”
Oriana nodded. The old friends reunited, and even the sadness of their departure was washed away.
“Marvin, let’s go home.”
Marvin nodded, “Alright.”
In the Armstead family’s mansion, Marvin entered the study, where Mrs. Armstead was already waiting for him.
As for his background, someone had already tell her. The funny thing was that Marvin was the last one to know.
After a long time of conveying with Marvin, Mrs. Armstead walked away with her exhausted body.
Marvin stood tall and handsome in front of the floor鈥搕o鈥揷eiling window. He had taken off his black clothes outside. He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers.
He looked into the distance, as different thoughts ran through his mind.
I hate Marvin a lot .
