A Relentless Pursuit for Love

Chapter 364

Uh...

Sage chuckled and said, “My father...was pretty straightforward, huh?”

Wayne responded, “Not just that, he was a thoughtless boy. At that time, I thought the boy wouldgrow up to be successful, seeing as how odd he was, so I brought him home with me. I told youruncles that he was my son from another woman and had them treat him like their own big brother,and they did. Who knew that they'd bully him behind my back. However, your father was notsomeone that would tolerate bullies. He fought back and won.”

Sage said straightforwardly, “But they held grudges against him.”

Just like Yeva did.

All Yeva had in her heart were grudges throughout the year.

Wayne said calmly, “Yeah.. not long after your father moved in, I started teaching Braxton and Zanecarving. Both of them didn't like how it hurt their hands and never took it seriously. Your father, onthe other hand, came to me by himself and told me he wanted to learn. I gave him a piece of whitejade and a carving knife, and he started carving himself without saying another word.

"His first work was pretty good. Even though he cut his finger open and bled so much blood, hedidn't utter a word of complaint.

“Not only that, he even took over the rubbish Braxton and Zane did and revived them. I was soshocked!”

Wayne was overwhelmed with emotion as he recalled the past.

"After that, I noticed that your father had a huge potential for jade-carving, so I named him myofficial disciple and started teaching him. Besides jade-carving, I also taught him about antiques.”Wayne started feeling emotional as he continued, “I was glad to have your father by my side thosefew years. I was less lonely for sure. I taught him everything I knew without holding back. Slowly, hegot his name out there and started becoming more successful. Thus more people came to visit, andthat was when our uncles started becoming jealous. They blamed me for playing favorites, and thebond between the siblings started to break as well.

After that, they overheard my conversation with your father and learned that he was not mybiological son. They became even more displeased and started verbally attacking your father for noreason at all other tha

At that time, your father met your mother, and your uncles were bullied by your mother as well. Sothey started holding grudges toward her as well and tried to do something to her, but your fathercaught them and punished them.”

Wayne sighed, “It was true when they said you could tell what a person is going to grow up to bebased on their personality as a child. However, it was also my responsibility as a father for notraising your uncles right. It was my fault for ignoring their red flags because I felt like I owed it tothem and eventually pushed them to commit the crime. I knew they had something to do with yourparent's death, but I was too afraid to think about it, let alone face it, which is why I've been runningaway from it all. I ran for three whole years.”

“My darling.” Wayne uttered with his tear-rimmed eyes, “I know deep down, you blame me for ittoo, right?”

Sage shook her head. “In my heart, a man should be responsible for his own crime. There's no suchthing as blaming the parents for not raising their children right.”

The pair understood each other's hearts without having to say much.

Sage got her straightforwardness and rashness from her parents, and she was never the sort toleave words hanging. Since things had already gotten to that point, might as well just spilleverything out.

Sage went from sitting to kneeling. She said to Wayne in a serious tone, “Grandpa, I don't care if myfather is your biological son or not: Just as he treated you like a father, I'll treat you like my ownGrandpa. I'll tell you the truth now. I know my uncles worked with someone and murdered myparents. That's a fact. I have enough evidence, and I don't plan on letting them off easily. The reasonI haven't been doing anything about it was because I've been waiting for you. Before I submit themto the authorities, I want them to pay for what they did.”

Wayne had prepared himself mentally for that day, “What do you plan on doing to them? Do youwant them dead?”

Sage shook her head, her face cold as the Antarctic

"Death is too easy on them!

“I want to witness their downfall. I want them to give back what they had stolen from my father!

“I want them to pay for their crime and spend the rest of their lives in prison with nothing but agonyand regret!”

Sage knelt before Wayne and looked up at him, her hands on his knees. “Grandpa, you lost a son,but you still have a granddaughter. I'll take care of you, and when the time comes, I'll be there foryou."

The tears that had been circling in Wayne's eyes had finally fallen. The one thing that he had beenrunning from had finally concluded.

As you sow, so shall you reap.
