The Kidnapped Bride-Chapter 537
Chapter 537: Killed the child?!
Charles’ voice echoed in the entire room and there was no way Javier would have been successful in handling him alone. In support, Ellen stepped and held Charles as well, “No need to waste your time sir, please control yourself.”
“Charles, hitting him will not bring our mother back! He has lied to us! Amaira is with us...calm down. She is with us and she lives with us. At least he didn’t send her away from us.” Javier’s soothing words acted like a balm on Charles’s raging anger.
Charles eyed Javier from the corner of his eyes and he received a nod from his younger brother who was urging him not to take unnecessary steps for now. At the sight, Charles had finally brought a stop to not let himself destroy his father.
He pushed Javier and Ellen aside and adjusted his clothes, “You should feel grateful that I haven’t touched you right now, Shawn Johnsons. Otherwise as per what you have revealed just now, it is enough for me to strip your neck with a knife!”
“You won’t understand what I did and why I did, Charles. Forget about it.” Shawn’s cold voice doesn’t bring any joy to Charles’ heart. “Your understanding? I don’t think I need that. You actually exchanged Shirley’s child with our mother’s child.”
“You claim to love Alice Anderson but in reality, you pushed her towards her deathbed. It was all because of your ways of cheating and bringing another woman. Until now, we aren’t ever able to connect with Amaira because of the complicated relationship that existed between us because of you. Who would’ve guessed..” Charles left no stone in showing his displeasure and then didn’t turn a blind eye to it.
But this time, Shawn had diverted his attention and his gaze traveled to see his second son, who was still not bursting crackers upon him, “Are you not mad at me?”
.....
“I feel sorry for you.” Javier said and this narrowed Shawn’s eyes, “Pity for me?”
“You had to reveal this truth when you finally learned that it was your wife who has been cheating on you for so many years. You had really wrapped her under the covers for so many years. But in the end you were a cuckold just like mom.” Javier didn’t change his expression and smiled at his father.
But Shawn had doubts. He knew from the very beginning that Javier was closer to his mother and he never interacted with Amaira for the same reasons, “From today onwards you shouldn’t harm her at all.” 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎
“I never intended to do it either. But I still have something to know, Mr. Johnson.” This time, Javier had taken steps. He was keeping his hands inside his pockets and he looked casually at his father, “You were looking for our mother’s killer for so many years but always failed.”
“Is it something to do with Shirley?” Javier’s question left Shawn dumbstruck. As the situation drew in his mind, he joined the point of hints that dropped on his brain, ‘Whenever I tried to investigate Shirley, everything was fine. Neither was I able to find the killer of Alice.’
Everything seemed to make sense and his sudden bewildered expressions returned to its normal way. His lips were back to their original position and so did his body’s posture. “I don’t know about it but this can be true, Javier. It is something you will have to know yourself.”
“But what if there is a connection of Shirley in all of this?”
Javier wasn’t going to be lenient and his straightaway questions always took Shawn back. He wanted to say something but then kept himself to minimal, “What do you intend...”
“If Shirley is involved in all of this, what do you and I do with her?” Was the simple question Javier threw. Till now, Javier was all looking through Shawn’s soul with his scanning eyes.
He wanted to know his father’s answer to this. Was he not willing to let go of Shirley after he learnt about her? Or is it because he still had something left for Alice?
As expected, Shawn’s face twisted at his questions. A dangerous smirk was shown on his face which contained a killer intent, “You have all the rights to take actions if that is the case. Do show her.... what it takes to kill a Johnosn!”
“Well, mother wasn’t a Johnson when she was killed so let it be an Anderson.” Javier did say but his line of thoughts didn’t end. “What about the child in Shirley’s womb?” 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚
“I killed that child.” Was the simple reply from the wounded man without a tinge of unhappiness. He appeared calm as before, as if he never undertook this as a crime.
However, Charles, who stood behind his brother couldn’t help but feel another bubble of hatred spreading for this man. Meanwhile, Javier didn’t show much of his sentiment.
“If that’s the case... you deserve the condition in which you are right now...”
Javier turned around to look at Charles, who was still glaring at their father. His anger has not settled down but only rested for minutes.
Javier held Charles’s arms when he muttered in Charles’s ears, “We need to go now. This old man can face our wrath afterwards. Now, we had to deal with someone more important.”
Charles eyed Javier’s face with his anger but deep down, he agreed. Without saying anything, he simply broke free from Javier’s grip and took exit from the room, following Javier behind him.
Inside, only Ryan and Ellen were left back with Shawn. While Shawn was feeling slightly better than before, the feeling of being comfortable vanished when he heard Ryan’s words which turned his spine cold.
“Don’t think now that you have revealed the truth to Javier that he will let you go. Because of you, he lost his child and through time, he will avenge his child from you, but only after his years long revenge for lady Alice is completed once! You will surely die, Shawn..sooner or later....”
