His Domineering Lover novel Chapter 674

Drug addicts and gambling addicts were incorrigible. Edgar had seen too many people lose their lives to drugs and gambling.

It was often said that you should never help a gambling addict pay his debts. Last time, Edgar spent all his savings for Leo.

He didn't feel obligated to help Leo again. More importantly, to him, only Carl and Adela were his family now.

Many years ago, he offered to be a dad to Leo and Renee, but Carmen refused him. She thought he was not as promising as Ben.

Edgar thought he had already done everything he should. He even gave Leo and Renee his houses before he divorced Adela.

What did he get in return, though? Did Leo and Renee do anything for him after they knew he was their father?

All they did was resent him for not getting Carmen out of jail.

Not only did they not visit him while he was in the hospital, they did not even call him.

They only smiled at him when he offered to give them his houses. Edgar finally knew how ungrateful these two kids were. Carl was much better than them.

Although Carl was not his biological son, he had been taking care of him for the past months.

If Leo or Renee had called him while he was in the hospital, he would not have been so disappointed. "Uncle, five million is just a piece of cake for you. How can you not help us? Leo is counting on you!" Renee was a little anxious.

Even now, she took it for granted that Edgar should help them.

She didn't think of him as her father, but as someone who could help her at any time. That made him feel awful.

"Last time I used up all my savings to help him. I have no money now. My only assets are the two houses, which I've already given you.

"You may not know this, but I've helped you and your mother a lot over the years, and I think I've done enough as a father.

"You're adults, and you should learn to be independent. I know you don't think of me as your father, it's fine.

"From now on, I'm not your father. Take care of yourselves. I don't owe you anything."

Edgar took a deep breath and said what he thought. If he didn't separate himself from Leo and Renee, it was gonna hurt Adela.

He might have hurt a lot of people, but he didn't owe Carmen anything. She was the one who used him.

He had been helping her since he knew her kids were his. Sadly, her kids didn't want his fatherly love.

"What? Don't you remember we are your kids? I can't believe you're gonna leave us in the lurch!"

"No matter what you say, I won't help you. If you have nothing else to say, you can leave."

"Renee and Leo didn't even call me. They never thought of me as a father. Why should I think of them as my kids?

"I admit I had feelings for Carmen, but now she means nothing to me. Adela, I love you, and I don't want to have anything to do with them anymore.

"Leo is an adult, and he should be responsible for himself. What's more, he stabbed you last time. Thank God you are fine now, or I wouldn't..."

So that was why he chose not to help Leo. He felt sorry for Adela, who was gonna have a permanent scar.

The scar had been reminding him of his evil deeds. "You are the one I am most sorry for in my life. I just want to be nice to you. Only you."

Adela was deeply touched, "Okay. No one can separate us."

They looked at each other and smiled. Let bygones be bygones.

Renee ran out of the house. The cold wind cut her to the marrow. She could understand that Bradley refused to help her, but why did her dad say no to her, too?

What should she do? Who could she turn to? In the end, she went to the Xia family.

Ben was her last straw.

When the housekeeper opened the door and saw Renee, he looked awkward. "Miss Renee, what brings you here?"
