Chapter 21 Someone Else’s Father
Brenda slept in a daze and said in an unfriendly tone, “Who are you?”
Krista choked a bit.
“You… You actually forgot who I am? Stop acting! You must be happy because Lemuel is angry with me these days. Well, I can tell you! You can’t beat me!”
Brenda woke up a bit and recognized Krista’s voice.
Brenda was depressed. Why did this bitch have her phone number?
If it weren’t for Krista’s sudden call, she would have almost forgotten that such a person existed.
Brenda didn’t bother to talk to her, yawned, hung up the phone directly, and continued to sleep.
Krista was angry.
“Damn it! I’ll see how pathetic you are after Lemuel forgives me!”
Krista was sure that Brenda hadn’t forgotten her these days and that Brenda must be happy because Lemuel was deeply angry with her.
Krista made a phone call to Lemuel and immediately changed her expression, speaking coyly, “Lemuel, will you come to pick me up and my mother today?”
“I’m already on my way to pick you up. You wait for me at home. I’ll be there in ten minutes,” Lemuel said.
“Well, then I…” Krista wanted to say something, but Lemuel had already hung up.
Krista felt aggrieved.
“He hasn’t seen me for a few days, and how could he just hang up without saying he missed me? I still have a lot to say to him.”
Noelia said, “He must still be angry with you. After you reconcile, Lemuel’s attitude towards you will be fine.”
Krista felt it made sense, so she wasn’t angry and hurried back to her room to touch up her makeup.
She got up early today and spent more than three hours putting on delicate makeup for herself!
She knew that Lemuel would definitely come today. It had been ten years. On such an important day, Lemuel had never been absent for ten years.
No matter what wrong things she did or how angry Lemuel was with her, today, Lemuel would definitely forgive her.
Every year was the same, and it had been repeatedly proved!
Ten minutes later, Lemuel arrived. He was wearing a black suit, very formal.
He only took one look at Krista and frowned.
They were going to the cemetery, and how could she put on such exquisite makeup and use such bright lipstick? Had she forgotten what day it was?
Lemuel was furious in his heart, but he didn’t say anything. Now, he didn’t even want to teach Krista a lesson or bother to
talk to her.
After arriving at the cemetery, Krista tried her best to squeeze out two streams of tears and began to cry.
“Dad, today is the anniversary of your death. Lemuel, Mom, and I came to see you together. I miss you so much…”
Noelia also began to act.
“Matt, we came to visit you. How could you be so cruel… You just left me and our daughter. We don’t even have anyone to rely on. If Lemuel didn’t care for us, Krista and I wouldn’t know how to live anymore…”
Lemuel stood aside, frowning.
He looked at the photo on the tombstone and felt guilty.
Krista’s father was why he had been taking care of Krista and Noelia for so many years.
He treated Krista like his own sister and planned to take care of her for the rest of his life, but he just didn’t expect that Krista would grow more and more unreasonable!
“Lemuel, don’t you want to say something?” Noelia said with red
eyes.
Lemuel withdrew his thoughts, remained silent, and respectfully bowed to the grave of Matt Graves.
Noelia took the opportunity to say, “Lemuel, Krista was indeed wrong about what happened last time, but she was only nine years old when Matt passed away. She lost her father at such a young age. That’s pathetic. Since you get angry with her, she has shut herself in the house without eating or drinking all day. Matt is gone, and I am terrified of losing her again… Could you please forgive her this time?”
Noelia cried while talking.
Krista quickly stood up, supported her, looked at Lemuel pitifully, and said, “Lemuel, I know I was wrong. Please forgive
- me. Please. I will never hurt Brenda again.”
Lemuel took a look at the two, then at the photo on the tombstone, and finally relented.
He frowned and said to Krista, “I didn’t expect you to achieve much. You can be willful or ignorant, but you can’t have
malicious thoughts. You can’t hurt others!”
“Yes, yes. I promise. As long as you can forgive me, I will listen to whatever you say, even if you ask me to apologize to Brenda.”
Lemuel directly refused. “Don’t go to her. She doesn’t like you! Don’t provoke her in the future or harm other people. Since you like acting, then just do well in your job!”
“Yeah. I’ll listen to you, Lemuel.”
Krista said so, but she didn’t think so in her heart.
She hated Brenda so much that she would never let her go easily!
She had not been wasting time these days. She had been thinking about how to destroy Brenda!
She vowed to make Brenda kneel before her and beg for mercy!
