Chapter 395: Chapter 394 Chapter 395: Chapter 394 James Olsen was truly stifled and frustrated.
He felt that the few people in his family all had serious issues!
His elder brother was clearly sterile, yet he had married a pregnant sister-in-law!
As for Uncle Olsen… he was irredeemably love-stricken! Keera even brought her gigolo boldly into the house, and he still indulged her?
Uncle Olsen frowned and looked towards Ellis Olsen.
Why did James’s words seem to firmly imply that Mary Davis’s child was not Ellis’s? Was there something he didn’t know?
Ellis, aggravated and angry, looked directly at James and extended his hand!
“Slap!”
Ellis smacked James across the face, “Shut your mouth!”
James was stunned by the slap. Although he had always been mischievous and brash from childhood, the atmosphere at home had always been good. With Uncle’s temperament, at most, he would have spanked him when he was a child. The seven brothers had a great relationship, never distinguishing between biological and non-biological.
Now, his elder brother was hitting him for… no, for two women?!
He was furious, “Great, here I am speaking up for you, and you hit me? Elder brother, uncle, you have truly disappointed me!”
After saying this, James turned and ran outside.
Charles Olsen couldn’t help but chase after him, “Uncle, uncle, what’s wrong?”
Ellis then looked at his hand.
Although he was sure the child was not his, he had just subconsciously defended Mary Davis’s reputation again, which was incredibly contradictory!
He lowered his eyes, his expression dazed.
Uncle Olsen stared at him, then suddenly said, “Come with me!”
This family banquet was definitely not going to happen.
The others gradually dispersed, Mr. and Mrs. Olsen looked worriedly at Ellis but said nothing.
From childhood, Ellis had been raised under Uncle Olsen’s supervision, as he was being groomed to take over the family business in the future.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Olsen were his parents, they were hands-off with him. Now that Uncle Olsen clearly intended to scold him, the two did not speak much.
Ellis followed Uncle Olsen into the study.
Uncle Olsen asked, “Tell me, what is going on?”
After a long silence, Ellis finally said, “I am sterile.”
Uncle Olsen was taken aback but did not react excessively, merely asking calmly, “Are you certain?”
He actually did not have a great desire for offspring; if Keera and Keira Olsen were not his daughters, he would be content without children in his life.
Thus, he was quite accepting of the diagnosis of sterility.
Ellis sighed, “I consulted three hospitals, all confirmed sterility.”
Uncle Olsen frowned, “Then who is the child’s father?”
“Mary Davis insists it’s mine,” Ellis said through gritted teeth, “No matter what I say or do, she insists it’s mine! Who is the child’s father then? Does she love him so much that she needs to have this child for him?”
Uncle Olsen coughed, “Keera’s attitude seems genuine.”
Ellis took a deep breath, “Then it means Keera has been deceived too! Just now, did you see her? She looked as if I had wronged her, but actually, uncle, I am the one who is suffering!”
In front of Uncle Olsen, Ellis finally let go of all his pride and pretense and collapsed on the sofa, slumping there, “I might have fallen for Mary Davis. I asked her to choose between the baby and me, to have an abortion. After she chose to have the baby, she divorced me…”
“Uncle, tell me, what am I to her? Just a convenient tool to register the child’s birth?”
Uncle Olsen coughed again and harshly reminded him, “Nowadays, children can be registered without a father.”
Ellis was dejected, his head drooping, “I just wanted to keep her. Without this child, there would be no barrier between us…”
Uncle Olsen sighed silently, “Ellis, you should know the saying, the tighter you grip, the less you hold. Sometimes, by opening your palm, you can receive the whole world.”
Ellis Olsen was stunned by the statement, standing rooted to the spot.
…
James Olsen rushed to the parking lot, ready to go for a drive.
Charles Olsen chased after him and got into his car, “Big Brother, what’s really going on? I see that the eldest and Uncle are fine, so why are you taking up their cause here?”
James Olsen, clearly frustrated, looked back at the brightly lit home and couldn’t help saying, “Eldest brother, well, let’s leave him out of it since he caused his wife to miscarry today, but do you know what’s the most absurd thing?”
“What?”
“It’s Uncle! There’s a kinship banquet in four days. Do you know what kind it is?”
“I don’t know.”
Charles, still young and in university, didn’t know much about family matters.
James gritted his teeth and said, “We’re getting another aunt!”
“What?!”
Charles was extremely excited, “Then why are you mad?”
“This new aunt is Keera. Did you notice the man who came with her today?”
