Mrs. and Mr. Smith

21 Chapter 21: The Taylor Family Chose Me!_1

Looking at his former father-in-law and mother-in-law, Ethan Smith's face grew increasingly disgusted.

He couldn't understand why their three-year relationship had become so fragile.

"I came to see Grandpa." Ethan inhaled deeply and said.

"My dad doesn't need you to visit, just get out!" Simon scorned.

Facing the clamor of the crowd, Ethan felt a mix of emotions.

If it had been in the past, he would have evaded timidly, but the current Ethan didn't want to live that miserable life anymore.

"What are you still looking at? Get out!" Simon pointed at Ethan's nose and yelled.

Just as Ethan was about to speak, Gary Brown's car drove over from not far away.

When they saw Gary, Brenda and Simon hurried to greet him.

"Oh, my dear son-in-law, did the banquet go smoothly today?" Brenda asked in a flattering tone.

"I heard the Taylor family wants to support a young man in River City. It must be my excellent son-in-law!" Simon also laughed.

However, Gary's face turned extremely ugly, and he didn't say a word.

"Son-in-law, why aren't you speaking?" Brenda asked puzzledly.

"It's definitely because he's so happy! Let's have a drink to celebrate!" Simon said excitedly while grabbing Gary's arm.

"Fuck off!" Gary abruptly shook off Simon's hand.

Simon was taken aback and said awkwardly, "What... what's wrong?"

Gary remained silent, only staring intently at Ethan in the distance, complex emotions in his heart.

Just a few days ago, Ethan was nothing but a piece of trash that he could toy with, but now he had suddenly become the Taylor family's esteemed guest!

This was something Gary couldn't tolerate! However, thinking of the Taylor family behind him, Gary didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect.

"I get it!" At this moment, Brenda suddenly clapped her hands and said with an enlightened look, "It must be because of Ethan that you're not happy, right? Don't worry, I'll drive him away right now!"

After saying that, Brenda ran to Ethan, pointed at his nose, and yelled, "My son-in-law is back, don't you get lost?"

"Let me tell you, you'd better not upset my son-in-law or else I won't spare you!" Simon waved his fist threateningly as he spoke.

Ethan's patience was almost at its limit, but he wasn't like the Johnsons, nor was he an animal.

Facing these people who he had spent years with, he couldn't bring himself to be so ruthless.

With great restraint, he said, "I've told you, I came to see Grandpa."

"What the hell are you looking at? Do you need to?" Simon cursed loudly.

"Let him in." At this moment, Gary suddenly spoke from a distance.

Hearing that, Simon and Brenda both froze.

The two scratched their ears, thinking that they must have misheard.

"Son-in-law, why let him in? Don't worry, I'll just..."

"I said, let him in!" Gary interrupted Brenda's words with a furious roar.

Brenda was immediately embarrassed and stood there awkwardly.

"My son-in-law is just too soft-hearted! Fine, since I'm in a good mood today, let him in. Haha," Simon said excitedly.

"Kid, you should be very grateful to Gary, understand?" Brenda growled.

Without saying a word, Ethan walked into the Johnson family home.

Behind him, Gary's face was pale.

His simple thought was to apologize to Ethan and perhaps there might still be a glimmer of hope!

"To actually apologize to such a coward..." The more Gary thought about it, the more humiliated he felt!

But there was nothing he could do at this point.

...

Ethan arrived at the Johnson's house and gave the Soul Nourishment Pill to Bill Johnson.

"Grandpa, this might be the last time I come to see you," Ethan said quietly.

Bill Johnson's wrinkled face was full of bitterness, but he eventually let go.

"Ethan, I'm sorry," Bill said with a sigh.

"In order to secure the Johnson family's good fortune, I brought you in as a son-in-law. It was my selfishness that caused you to suffer such humiliation..." Bill's eyes filled with tears.

Ethan remained silent, he knew all this, of course.

"I cast a fortune for myself, and my life is near its end. I'm afraid I won't live much longer," Bill continued.

"Can you... can you forgive me? Forgive Sylvia?" Bill clenched Ethan's hand, his voice pleading.

Ethan was silent for a long time, but ultimately, he shook his head, "The seeds we sow will bear fruit. Once you've done something, you must bear the consequences."

"I will never forgive Sylvia." After saying those words, Ethan turned around and walked out of Bill's room.

In the living room, the Johnsons gathered around Gary, who was still their backbone.

"Finished seeing him? Get the hell out now!" Brenda said impatiently.

"Looking at you, this useless waste, makes me angry! You have wasted three years of our time!" Simon snorted.

"Just look at Gary, he's the one the Taylor family has chosen! And look at you, a good-for-nothing who only knows how to cook and wash clothes."

Ethan didn't want to argue with them initially, but he couldn't stand it any longer after hearing this.

He stared coldly at the Johnson family members, and said word by word, "A useless waste? Let me tell you, the Taylors have chosen me, not Gary!"
