Chapter 183: 183 Uncle Gossip, chasing wife to the crematorium?

Old Master knew that his youngest son had deep feelings for his deceased daughter-in-law. He intended to have a heart-to-heart with him, to comfort him with a few words, but his long-brewed emotions were disrupted by a few abrupt remarks from his son.

"Tell him to roll,"

This rebellious son usually didn’t listen, and now he actually scampered off promptly!

How could their family even produce such creatures!

"Finn Hale—" Old Master frowned.

"Dad, it’s late. I’ll go greet mom and ask you to head back to your room to sleep."

"..."

That single sentence completely silenced Old Master.

Although it’s said that both the palms and backs of the hands are made of flesh, as the child of his old age, the old lady couldn’t help but favor him a bit more.

The old lady had suffered in her youth and was left frail, so after having two sons, she never conceived again, and after examinations, they said it was very difficult for her to get pregnant; probably doctor speak for no hope at all.

Unexpectedly, there was then a third child.

At that time, they felt it was a gift from heaven, and she even dreamed during her pregnancy of a beautiful baby girl holding her hand.

So, the couple consulted and, after seeking the opinions of the eldest and the second son, decided to keep the child.

But then...

It turned out to be a boy!

At the time, Brock Hale and Quade Hale were both very excited, having neither married nor had children, thinking they were finally going to have a tender little sister, but were disappointed when it turned out to be a brother.

It wasn’t that they preferred girls over boys, just that they didn’t lack boys.

Since the child was born, they couldn’t just put him back!

Eva Hugh was good-natured; she raised him in his younger years, quite worry-free, but the older he got, the more his personality became troublesome, especially him and William Hale—they truly worried him to pieces.

Especially after Eva passed away, he always worried these two children would develop some psychological issues.

And then...

He almost ended up with psychological issues himself from frustration!

Even once, after a small friction with Finn, Finn concocted some idea of running away from home and, worse still, took William with him.

The whole family mobilized to look for them, causing utter chaos.

When they were dragged back, Old Master was naturally furious, "You running off is one thing, but why did you take William with you!"

"He said he wanted to come with me."

"..."

"I didn’t want to leave him alone at home, afraid you might treat him poorly."

Old Master was so angry he nearly had a stroke.

Was he a fierce flood or a savage beast?

In the end, the episode concluded with his high blood pressure acting up.

The doctor recommended:

He needed to rest silently.

Then Finn packed up his things, and along with William, moved to live with Brock, saying, "Dad can’t calm down if he sees me."

"Maintaining some distance is also for his good health."

That’s why he said, he was a rebellious son!

Brock Hale and Quade Hale, the brothers, always sat on the sidelines as spectators.

Their father was quick-tempered and fiery.

Over the years, he had mellowed a lot, but essentially, the youngest had thoroughly worn him out.

At this moment, Old Master sighed:

Without much thought, these two must be mingling together now.

And indeed, that was the case.

**

"Coming out with me, leaving your niece-in-law alone, won’t she be upset?" Finn and William drove to their usual club.

The matter with Eva had left both of them feeling miserable.

It had also been a long time since they had seen each other, so they went out for a drink.

If they drank at home, their father would inevitably see and surely scold them.

"Recently someone ordered a batch of incense sticks from her. It’s a lot of goods, she’s busy, and Zoe is understanding, she won’t get upset," William said, somewhat helplessly pulling out a few sheets of paper from his pocket and handing them over.

"What’s this for?"

"Sign it."

Finn looked at him suspiciously.

"My brother-in-law wants them."

William still remembered that Lucas Bell wanted his uncle’s autograph.

"He likes me?"

"Possibly, he studies art."

"Your brother-in-law, has better taste than you," Finn said.

William massaged his temples.

Finn Hale chuckled lowly, "It’s really love for the house extending to the crows, you would actually help people get autographs?"

"I’m currently moonlighting as an online store customer service representative."

"..."

Finn Hale was stunned for a moment, "It seems like you really like her, is she from Greenland? How did you meet her? How long have you been thinking about her? You mentioned in the group before that you were getting married and needed a Passport Card, I could tell how eager you were through the screen."

"Quite a while now."

"Let’s hear it, I’m curious."

"Don’t want to say it, afraid that you’d lose interest in work and want to fall in love."

Finn Hale scoffed lightly, "Do married people all talk as shamelessly as you do?"

"Why don’t you try getting married and see?"

After William Hale finished speaking, someone indeed fell silent.

Getting married is easy,

the hard part is finding someone who wants to get married.

The two found a private room, ordered some drinks, and after a few glasses, Finn Hale finally looked at William Hale, "Back then, the last person Big Sister-in-law saw was the two of us; I had already noticed her suicidal tendencies, but I ignored it..."

"The things she said that day were indeed strange."

"William, do you think, if I had stopped her that day, everything would be different now?"

William Hale glanced at him.

"Definitely would be different..."

"I think so too."

"Then Little Wyatt wouldn’t exist."

Finn Hale’s drinking motion came to a halt.

Is this the right moment for such jokes?

"Uncle, no one blamed you for the past."

With so many elders in the Hale family, if they couldn’t see the abnormalities in mother, how could they blame a child.

No one blamed him, but he blamed himself.

----

Meanwhile, Zoe Bell was making incense, listening to Wyatt Hale gossip about his uncle.

As he sounded like an ethereal being from tales of old, naturally, she was curious.

And Wyatt Hale, wanting to cling to his sister-in-law’s good graces, spared no details.

"Uncle is quite impressive; by the time I can remember, he was already in university, starting to study architectural design. But there’s a generation gap between us, we couldn’t really hang out together."

"When I was still playing with sand and playdough, he had already won a design award."

Zoe Bell pursed her lips.

That makes sense, he was four years older than William Hale, and thus fourteen years older than him, it’s really unlikely that they could play together.

"But regarding his matters, I did hear some things from others,"

Zoe Bell almost laughed:

Isn’t this your own uncle?

Why would you need to hear about his affairs from others?

"Uncle and Big Brother are close, I just heard some gossip."

Wyatt Hale leaned closer, lowering his voice, "Some say, a girl chased Uncle for a long time; later, when she stopped chasing and left, Uncle chased her abroad..."

"Hmm?"

Chasing someone to the crematory grounds?

Zoe Bell’s interest piqued, "What happened next?"

Wyatt Hale shrugged, "No follow-up; as you see, he’s still a bachelor, definitely didn’t catch up to her."

"I see."

"But there’s also a rumor saying that after a girl broke up with him, he couldn’t let go and chased her abroad because he couldn’t accept it."

Zoe Bell was astonished:

Broken up?

This version is even more thrilling.

"Did you ever meet that girl?" Zoe Bell was curious.

Wyatt Hale shook his head.

"But people also say, both those versions are false."

"I don’t even know if she exists, I wouldn’t dare ask; anyway, there are plenty of rumors about him in Capital City. He usually doesn’t stay in the old house, and when he’s drawing design blueprints, he’s always busy to exhaustion, especially in recent years, I hardly see him."

"I didn’t expect..."

"That he would actually treat me like this!"

"But Uncle’s character is really difficult, any girl he takes a fancy to is quite unlucky."

"He’s better off single, shouldn’t be a scourge to any girl."

Zoe Bell was taken aback,

well, that might be an exaggeration.
