Translator: 549690339
Yigol Novak finally understood what Suri Drew was trying to do just now.
She couldn’t stand seeing her mother-in-law treating him so well?
The front door also seemed to have facial recognition, but Suri stood there for a long time, and the door did not open. Only after she entered her fingerprint did the door finally open.
Soon, Yigol confirmed his suspicion when Suri suddenly closed the already opened door, walked back to him, and said, “You go.”
Yigol found it particularly funny, but he dared not laugh. If he laughed now, Suri would definitely be annoyed.
If Suri was annoyed, she might retaliate by canceling his big event in two days, and he would have nowhere to cry.
Yigol obediently stepped forward and came to the camera. The camera’s light flashed, and the door that Suri had just closed opened again.
Yigol was even more dumbfounded. Now, he couldn’t hide it even if he wanted to.
Seeing Suri standing behind him, he quickly said, “Wifey, you are so amazing. As soon as you came, the door opened on its own.”
He absolutely couldn’t admit that the door opened because it recognized his face.
“Come on, wifey, let’s go in.” Yigol pulled Suri forward.
Suri had no expression on her face, but according to Yigol’s understanding of her, she probably made a mental note to take revenge on him later.
After a while, Suri said, “Why don’t you live with my mom? She likes you so much. If you didn’t know, you’d think you were her own son.”
Yigol nodded repeatedly, “Okay, okay. I’ll tell her later that we bought a new house and invite her to live with us for a few days. Later, when we build a big villa, we can have her live with us. She can help us raise our children, and she won’t be too bored. Otherwise, it would be quite boring for her to live alone.” Suri glanced at him without speaking.
Yigol’s hanging heart finally settled, and it seemed like the matter had been resolved.
God knows how scared he was of his wife.
After entering the house, Suri seemed much more unfamiliar with the place than Yigol. She looked around, appearing to want to see what changes had happened in the house.
Yigol understood her. After not coming back for so many years, it was natural for her to feel strange.
She would also be emotionally moved. Right now, keeping quiet was the safest thing for him to do.
It was already great that Suri was willing to come back.
After carefully observing for a while, Suri came to one of the rooms. Apparently not wanting to suffer the humiliation of facial recognition again, she chose to unlock the door with her fingerprint directly. After opening the door, she said indifferently to Yigol, “Follow me.”
Yigol promptly followed. In the room, there was only a table, a tombstone, and a funeral portrait. The room seemed especially cold, either because it was a special place or because no one had opened it for years.
Looking at the funeral portrait, and considering it was in his mother-in-law’s house, it must be Suri’s father.
Suri’s mother had suffered such great betrayal but was still willing to keep her father’s tombstone at home, which was a significant compromise.
Presumably, Suri also played a role in this. After all, he was her father.
Suri glanced at the portrait and said, “If you feel uncomfortable, you can wait outside.”
Yigol had never been here before, and being suddenly exposed to this scene had shocked him. He did feel uncomfortable, mainly because it was too cold and thinking about Suri’s past made him deeply emotional.
But no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he couldn’t leave Suri alone in the room.
Yigol went to Suri’s side, intending to get some incense to pay homage. He only realized that the incense was very old and probably couldn’t be lit anymore when he picked it up.
Suri looked at him and asked, “What are you doing?” Yigol replied, “Lighting incense to pay respects.”
Suri said indifferently, “It’s good enough just to see him.”
However, Yigol still paid his respects and said, “As for the grievances between parents, it’s their problem. Since we’re the younger generation, we shouldn’t think too much about it. In the end, he’s your father. Without him, there would be no you, and I wouldn’t have met and married such a great wife.”
“No matter how big his mistakes, he’s no longer here. We don’t need to keep harping on his faults.”
“I can’t say for sure, but if there’s really an afterlife, he’d be happy to see you get married and have children. Perhaps he wasn’t a competent husband and father, but he wouldn’t be completely devoid of love for you in his heart.”
“Your mother hates him so much because she cares too much about him deep down. Although the incense can’t be lit anymore, it doesn’t look like no one’s been here. The place is clean, and there’s some recently burned incense. I didn’t even know such a place existed before you brought me here. So who comes here to take care of it and burn incense?”
While Yigol was speaking, he kept carefully observing Suri’s facial expressions: “It can only be our mother. This proves that she has forgiven your father. Why do you still hold on to the past?”
“I’m his son-in-law. This is my first time meeting him, so I should pay my respects.”
“Wifey, do you want to come forward and pay your respects? It’s been so many years since the incident. Paying your respects may help you let go of your feelings.”
Although Suri didn’t agree, she didn’t object either.
“Though it may not sound very nice, there’s some truth in saying that a married daughter is like spilled water. From now on, we’ll have our own little family. As for your old home, you’ll be a guest in the future, so just let the past go. Okay?”
Yigol pulled Suri forward, and after taking a few deep breaths, she gave a deep bow to the funeral portrait together with Yigol.
Yigol didn’t know if Suri could truly let go of her past, but she was willing to compromise. That was already a good start.
As he wasn’t Suri, he didn’t know the bitterness of her past years and couldn’t demand too much from her. He just wanted to persuade her to let go in hopes that she could be happier. Whether or not she wanted to let go ultimately depended on her.
After leaving the room with the funeral portrait, Suri took Yigol’s arm on her own initiative, which surprised Yigol, followed by a sense of secret delight..
