Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1202

"No, definitely not." Yvonne shook her head quickly and said, "Zachary, it's not like what you say."

Zachary nodded and said, "I didn't think so either. It's just that there are some things you are still not willing to tell me."

Yvonne looked at him, feeling a bit dumbfounded.

"We're married," Zachary reminded her, and his tone was sad and helpless.

Yvonne became silent.

When they got on the car, Yvonne did not say anything.

However, when they returned to the Lowe family home, Zachary took Yvonne to the main hall. As soon as they entered the room, they saw a portrait of Zachary's father, Philip.

The potrait was right in front of her eyes. The moment Yvonne saw it, she froze.

The scene from many years ago immediately surfaced in her mind.

At that time, Zachary's father was high- spirited and refined.

It wasn't hard to imagine that Zachary would be as refined and confident as his father.

Facing his father's portrait, Yvonne, who was originally stiff, gradually relaxed.

She walked towards Philip's portrait.

Philip's portrait was enshrined in the Lowe family's old house. They often paid their respects to him.

Yvonne walked up to him and kneeled; she didn't even look at Zachary.

She knelt in front of Philip's portrait without saying a word.

Zachary was instantly dumbfounded.

He was a bit agitated; he never thought that Yvonne would kneel.

"Get up," Zachary said in a deep voice.

Yvonne was stunned. She raised her head and looked at Zachary's flustered face. She didn't move, but her eyes were filled with confusion.

"Why did you kneel to him?" Zachary shouted.

Yvonne was startled. After remaining silent for a moment, she opened her mouth and said, "He is my father-in-law."

This was not the truth.

Zachary knew very well that this was not the truth, but he couldn't correct Yvonne. He didn't know how to open his mouth to let the woman in front of him speak the truth.

His heart ached a little. He looked at Yvonne and said, "Yvonne, he broke us up for so many years. Don't you blame him for letting you raise our child all by yourself?"

Yvonne was instantly stunned.

She widened her eyes and looked at Zachary. "Zachary, you... you knew?"

Zachary twitched the corners of his mouth bitterly and looked at his father's portrait. He said word by word, "Dad, can you see this? I fell in love with such a kind-hearted fool. Because of you, this silly girl wandered around alone in a foreign country with her child and suffered a lot of judgment. Yet, she still kept her kind heart. She is still able to show you respect by kneeling like this and treats you as her father-in-law. Dad, how did you have the heart to break us up?"

Zachary, who had never blamed his father, felt a stir in his heart when he saw his father's portrait this very moment.

As he thought about how he had suffered for the past eight years, he was unable to calm down.

And the reason for all his suffering turned out to be his father.

He was kept in the dark, hating Yvonne for so many years. This was just too depressing.

Yvonne was scared out of her wits. When she saw Zachary's distraught face, her eyes were filled with shock and astonishment.

How did he know?

Yvonne's mind went blank.

This question looked as if it was directed towards Yvonne but was actually directed towards Philip.

"I never had a good night's sleep in the past eight years," Zachary laughed self- deprecatingly and said, "Every night, I would wake up several times. Do you know the feeling of not being able to sleep at night?"

Her heart suddenly tightened.

How could she not know?

It was the same for her as well.

She could barely sleep in the past few years.

It was more than just sleepless nights.

Even if she fell asleep, she would still have nightmares. When she woke up, her pillow was always wet.

She would wake up in the middle of the night to find her pillow wet. When she woke up in the morning, her eyes were swollen, and she still had to comfort others by saying that she was okay.

Fabian looked at her at that time and teased her by asking if he was worth it.

If she really loved that man, why did she let him go? It didn't matter whether his father was happy or not. The most important thing was that her child had a father.

But she was not like Fabian at all.

When Yvonne heard Zachary's words, emotions welled up in her heart. She looked at him, and with a soft voice, she said, "Zachary, I know."

Yvonne kneeled on the ground and said, "I don't hate your father. I'm just sorry that I didn't abide by my promise to stay away from you. When I was in the United States, I often followed you and peeped at you."

Zachary was stunned and looked at Yvonne with suspicion. "You stalked me?"

Yvonne nodded. "I often went to see you secretly before you caught me, but you didn't know. After you saw me, I didn't dare to do it anymore."

"Yvonne!" Zachary shouted in a low voice, "Why would you rather peep at me than show up?"
