Chapter 37 My Brother Is Dead
She would never have dared to tell her father the truth.
Her father was a very traditional man, and he would have been furious if he had known that she had casually married a stranger in order to regain her looks, and that she had stayed in a marriage with no real name, and had added divorce to her marriage history.
He might even think she was frivolous and unloving.
Instead of telling the truth and making him angry, she could create a good story and make him think she was fine with her husband, which would give him some peace of mind.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
So she had to make up a perfect and plausible story, in which she must look happy.
With those words, Jocelyn got up and knelt down in front of Allen, with a sincere and serious face, “I’m sorry, Dad, I shouldn’t have done such a thing behind your back.”
She said this from the bottom of her heart. In fact, it was really hard for her to keep such a big thing from her father, but at that time she had no choice.
If she had not regained her beauty at that time, many things would not have been accomplished so smoothly, and she did not want to remain an ugly girl and let Gloria humiliate her.
Seeing this, Gloria and Sara immediately snuck a smug smile at each other before quickly setting their eyes on Allen, waiting for him to beat her up.
“Do you think Dad will let you off the hook? You’re too naive, aren’t you?” Gloria snorted coldly.
Hearing her story and seeing her look so sincere, Allen’s heart instantly softened and that tightly knitted brow slowly relaxed.
He let out a long, helpless sigh and carefully helped Jocelyn up, letting her sit on the arm of his sofa, ignoring Gloria completely.
And then he held Jocelyn’s hand tightly and said, “I can understand, when one is in immense pain and suddenly a pair of warm hands pull you, you naturally can’t resist.”
Allen’s reaction left Gloria and Sara both dumbstruck, no one had expected Allen to be so nice!
They were waiting for a good show to be staged, but what was this!
The two were so angry that they clenched their hands at the same time.
“That man has allowed you to be reborn and his grandson is so good, you repay your kindness in this way is understandable, repaying kindness is a virtue.” Allen added.
Looking at Allen’s reaction, Jocelyn felt even more sorry for him, her eyes couldn’t help but redden, “Dad, I’m sorry.”
“You are indeed sorry, you should have discussed with me in the first place, I would have not only agreed but also given you a grand wedding.” When it came to this topic, Allen’s face sank again.
“I’m sorry …”
“Come on, don’t be sorry, what does he do? Since he is a descendant of the healer, his profession shouldn’t be bad, right?” Allen’s eyes were full of concern, everything was so reasonable that he could only accept it.
“He has been studying medicine with the healer, and intends to return home to open a hospital after he has finished his studies.” Jocelyn said.
“How old is he?” Allen asked.
“Twenty-eight years old.” Jocelyn said without thinking.
She didn’t know anything else about that husband of hers, but she knew his age.
“Dad, don’t listen to Jocelyn’s nonsense, I think it’s all made up by Jocelyn.”
“She has found a bad man and is afraid to tell you about it.” Gloria said bluntly.
“Then you go and find out if there is a man called Dr. Mason in Y Country. Does he have a grandson? Aren’t you very good at digging? Just go digging.” Jocelyn said calmly.
“Gloria, you shut up.” Allen chided in a cold voice.
it was true that no matter what she did, he found it disagreeable.
Gloria wanted to continue to curse, Sara covered her mouth, pinched her thighs fiercely and whispered a warning, “Shut up! Can’t you see that your father is angry?”
“It’s good to open a hospital, I can finance him if he needs it.” Allen said.
A medical family was as rich as people like them, but it was still a decent family, so he was satisfied with it.
“He has said he wants to rely on himself.” Jocelyn said.
“This young man is good, bring him back to me some day.” Allen’s eyes were full of praise.
“Okay.” Jocelyn nodded.
“When?” Gloria asked.
Whether Jocelyn was lying or not, she just needed to grill that so-called husband of hers when the time came.
If he didn’t know anything about healing, then he was lying, and when that happened, Jocelyn would be dead!
She was convinced that her chance was coming soon.
“Why don’t you bring my brother-in-law to my wedding? Your only sister is getting married, there’s no reason for your husband not to come, right?” Gloria asked, not giving Jocelyn any chance to refuse in the slightest.
“Okay.” Jocelyn had a breezy face.
“Alright, I’m off to the office.” Allen patted Jocelyn’s hand dotingly, before striding out of the house.
Jocelyn was too lazy to bother with Gloria and Sara, ready to go upstairs, then go to the Faraday Apartments sales centre, and finally go to X Entertainment.
However, as she was just about to stand up, Gloria viciously yanked her back onto the sofa.
And then Gloria stood up with a scuffle, looking askance at her face with a look of disdain, “I’ll just sit back and wait for your lies to be unravelled at my wedding!”
Jocelyn shook her head helplessly, feeling it funny.
“Even if what you say is true, I reckon he’s still an ugly, right? As far as I know, there are not many good-looking men who study medicine, so he can’t be bald, right? And he must smell like herbs.”
With that said, Gloria couldn’t help but laugh.
“If it makes you happy to think so, then feel free.” Jocelyn didn’t even bother to look at her, leaving her words behind and heading straight upstairs.
“Hahaha, he definitely won’t look as good as my Joseph.” Gloria shouted at her back.
Joseph was noble and super handsome, a man who was a medical student could not compare with him.
First of all, in terms of temperament, he was just different from an ordinary person.
Jocelyn didn’t reply to her.
When Jocelyn returned to her room, Paige’s phone call came in.
Looking at the word Paige displayed on the phone screen, she couldn’t help but think that they really had a tacit understanding.
Jocelyn answered the phone, “Just wanted to call you, lend me your brother to play as Noah at Gloria’s wedding.”
There was no way she could get the real Noah in this situation, as he would never agree to cooperate with her.
When she had discussed this matter with Paige before, they both thought it was impossible to happen, but they still made a thorough plan to make up a perfect story of her and that husband and also create a reasonable identity for him.
At that time, Paige had suggested that when the time came, she let her brother, who was studying medicine, help play Noah.
After that, when the three years were up and she had divorced the real Noah, she would then go home and tell her father she was divorced on the grounds of emotional discord.
The reason why their idea was so bold was because Paige was curious about Noah’s looks at first, so she checked him out once, but couldn’t find anything.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of tears came from the other side.
She hadn’t seen much of Paige crying since she had known her, she was completely an independent woman, as if nothing could defeat her, and it was hard for anything to make her shed tears.
“Paige, what’s wrong with you?” Jocelyn asked nervously.
“My brother died, I’m calling because I want to ask for a leave, is a week okay?” Paige said with a sod.
