Chapter 15
Before Moira returned from the hospital, Alken had told the maids and butlers no Guzman could come in without Moira’s permission.
Alfie used to be allowed to come and go freely, but today, he
stopped at the gate. It was cloudy today and had started to rain now,
Alfie stood at the gate and listened to the butler. His face darkened.
The rain started pretty light but gradually got heavier. Alfie glanced inside the villa before finally returning to the car.
His cell phone had been blown up. The internet was abuzz about hins buying a ring for Claire, and the fact that Moira and Barclay got a marriage license was even more known throughout the city.
Alfie glanced at the dozen missed calls with no intention of dialing them for now.
He found and dialed Moira’s number. Then, he heard the customer service message. “Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be connected now,”
Alle realized Moira had blacked him out. He looked down at his phone for a long moment before reluctantly driving away.
The atmosphere was tense in the Guzman family. Barbara Guzman was shrinking on the sofa, playing with her cell phone, and didn’t dare to make a sound.
A teacup was thrown directly at his feet as soon as Alfie entered.
Alfie pursed his lips and glanced at Lara and Jeffrey “Dad, Mam.”
“Happy, now?” Jeffrey, with a solemn face, violently slammed the table and asked with his voice raised.
The marriage between the Guzman family and the Jimenez family was set a long time ago. Although the Jimenez family had waned in the past few years, Moira’s maternal relatives were doing well and could be a helpful connection.
And Jeffrey’s friendship with Alken for more than forty years was ruined. If Jeffrey had another son, he would have kicked Alfie out of the Guzman family long ago!
Lara was also painfully upset, and tears fell as soon as she spoke. “I don’t know what’s got into your head! No decent man would marry a girl like Claire. You did such a terrible thing to Moira for her. I hope you’re satisfied.”
Barbara snorted. “Men like their women to be weak and docile. Alfie is no exception!”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Barbara satirized Alfie and Jeffrey at the same time because Jeffrey cheated on Lara years ago with a girl of exactly that type.
Lara was instantly irritated, and she stopped wiping her tears, walked over to Alfie, and pinched him hard on the arm. “You, go to Moira, Kneel for her and apologize to her! We don’t care if she has married. We will still give her a grand wedding if she’s willing to divorce!”
Barbara added fuel to the flames. “It’s Moira you should worry about. She may not be willing to do so.”
“Shut up, Barbara.” Jeffrey glared at Barbara. Barbara pursed her lips and left.

was finally calm. “I will apologize to Moira. Dad, will you make an appointment with Aiken and Moira? I will kneel
He was wrong. He should apologize to Moira. But he was more and more panicked. He was not sure how Moira would react. Or maybe, just like Barbara said, she was not willing to take him back.
