Chapter Fifty-Eight: Return to Bevo Manor
When he saw that familiar back, Galo was surprised and delighted, and there was a trace of fear hidden in his heart.
He pushed open the door at the back of the house, and the man turned around when he heard the noise, and showed a loving smile he hadn't seen in a long time: "You're finally back!" β
Bedren handed the grandson in her arms back to Lilian beside her, and said in a gentle and cautious tone: "Good baby, go back to your mother's arms!" β
That scene made Gallo feel like it was all like a dream.
Then Bedren walked up to Galo head-on, hugged Galo with a majestic posture as a father, and his tone was full of pride and pride: "My good son"
The corners of Galo's lips quivered, and finally confirmed that it was not a dream, grinning happily, and calling out "Father" from the heart.
"Let's go inside and talk!"
Bedren patted Galo on the shoulder and walked into the room first.
Galo couldn't hide the excitement on his face, looked at his father's back, turned around and welcomed his wife and children back to the house.
The floor was so old that it always creaked when stepped on, and one couldn't help but feel worried, and Bedren thought to herself that her son had been living in such a dilapidated place since he had left him, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Now it seems that this hard life did not break him. Before he returned, from the conversation with his daughter-in-law Lilian, Garrow had been working hard for this poor home.
He did not lose his will, and changed from a life of luxury and wealth to a life of unstable food and clothing, and this great change did not break him, but tempered his heart.
His son is finally able to take responsibility!
As a father, he feels very relieved, and expelling him from the family is also a compromise, as long as there is life, everything is variable.
And this variable also came, and he could finally take back his son and his wife and children openly.
He was once angry that Galo had fornicated with humans to have children, but Galo was his only son, and everything he did was for the sake of his future.
He loved Galo, and he loved his only son.
Sitting at the dilapidated square table, Bedren took a glass of wine handed to him by Gallo, took a sip, and explained his intentions: "I hope you can return to Bevo Manor." β
Hearing his father's words in his ears, Galo's hand as he poured wine froze, and his expression looked a little surprised, he thought that his father had just come to visit them.
"Father, just got back from Venice, right?"
Garlo then poured himself a full bottle of wine, without a direct reply.
Bedren nodded: "I just came back for a day, and I came to you immediately." β
His father's face was radiant, and it seemed that the prince's position had been retained, and the worries that Galo had hung in his heart were also put down.
"Are you coming back?"
Bedren took a sip and looked up at Galo, his eyes full of anticipation.
Garlo couldn't help but look at Lilian and his son, he didn't want her mother and son to suffer with him, turned around and said without hesitation: "Let's come back!" β
But Bedren seemed to have some concerns, slowly stood up, gave Galo a look, and walked out of the house.
Garlo took his wife's hand and said softly, "Wait for me!" β
Her husband's cold palm wrapped around her hand, and Lilian only felt warm at the moment, and she had no regrets about meeting another partner who cared about her so much in this life.
She lowered her head gently, put her little hand that exuded warmth on the back of Garlo's hand, and gently passed her heart to him, showing an understanding smile: "You go, I'll wait for you!" β
Since Lillian's ability to foresee has been temporarily weakened since she had a child, she is no different from other blind people, and if she forcibly prophesies, she will involuntarily bleed from her nose and will not be able to take care of the child.
Therefore, she also lived a life of relying on Galo, taking care of the crystallization of their love with peace of mind every day, and unconditionally trusting and protecting herself.
After gaining his wife's understanding, Galo turned and walked out of the house and closed the door.
Outside the door, there was his long-waiting father, Bedren.
Seeing Galo coming, he subconsciously looked into the house, his eyes were not as kind as before, and said, "I hope you follow me back, I can ignore the mistakes you made before." β
Garlo lowered his eyelashes, and his tone was not as happy as when he first saw his father: "If I go back alone, my father will give up this idea!" β
In the face of his kindness, his son did not appreciate it, and he was still stubborn, and a little displeasure rose in Bedren's heart: "I shouldn't have promised you to let this human witch live in the first place, and now my son is so confused that he betrays his father." β
"I don't want you to say that about her, even if you're my father!" Galo frowned, and the displeasure on his face was undisguised, "If you are here to embarrass me this time, please go back, I still have something to deal with!" β
The night when father and son tore their faces came back to Bedren's mind, and now, the indifference on Galo's face was exactly the same as that of that night, and it pierced his father's heart.
But Bedren was not angry, more disappointed, he chose to compromise, took a step back, and continued to negotiate with his son: "I can let your son live in Bevo Manor, but forget about that human." β
Garlo clenched his fist at his side and looked at his father angrily, "Don't you understand what I mean?" His voice paused like a stump, "No one can break us apart, including you......"
Bedren saw in his son's face firmness and unyieldingness, a stubbornness he hadn't seen in his face for hundreds of years, and he was no longer the good boy who did what he said......
ββ¦β¦β
Bedren was silent, thinking, he was weighing the pros and cons, adjusting the most appropriate weight on the scales of feelings and reality, he was not Galo, he could do as he pleased, he was in a high position, and many decisions could not be mixed with personal emotions.
But he is also a father, and he feels pain in his heart in the face of his son's estrangement......
His father's long silence had made Galo lose confidence, and he didn't want to wait for Bedrun's final decision, there was not much time left for him now, the matter of the port would soon spread, and he had to leave here with Lilian's mother and son.
Turning around and moving his feet, a force grabbed him, and Galo looked at his father, only to hear him exhale a long breath: "Let's go!" β
The corners of Galo's lips twitched, and a smile of relief twitched......
β¦β¦
Return to the Bevo estate.
Galoma kept arranging Lilian's mother and son in the best room.
Now, Lilian's mother and son no longer have to live a dark and damp poor life with him, and they no longer have to run for life every day.
He could have avoided this hard life on earth, but for the sake of Lillian and his son, he could do anything, even if he had to carry goods under the scorching sun and get tired.
Seeing his son's heartfelt happiness on his face, Bedren no longer bothered about whether his decision was correct, and the pressure of public opinion caused him far less harm than his son's indifference to him.
Late at night.
Galo kissed his sleeping wife and children and walked out of the room.
He knew that his father had not asked him to come back purely out of affection, and that he had something else to do when he went to Venice this time, and when he walked to his father's office, Galo raised his hand and knocked on it.
There was a knock on the door.
Bedren, who was sitting at his desk, said lightly, "Please come in."
Watching her son walk in, Bedren put down the papers in her hand and motioned for him to sit down on the couch by the window.
"It's just you and my father and son here, I don't want to say anything, I need you to help me!"
Bedren crossed his hands and looked serious.
"What's the matter?"
"Recently, the demon race has been rampant, disrupting the order of the blood clan and the human world, and the Seven Elders have asked us to form an intelligence team to go deep into the enemy's interior and probe the enemy's bottom."
"So, do I have to join this team if I've dealt with demons?"
"Yes, andβ" Bedren paused, "the Seventh Elder pointed out that you should be able to repay your merits, and as the captain of the team, you can't refuse. β
Galo's eyes twitched uneasily, he knew that this was a very dangerous mission, and once he was sure to join, the road ahead would be full of unknown dangers.
If something happens to him, what will happen to Lilian's mother and son?
He is not afraid of death, he is afraid that after death, his beloved wife and son will suffer injustice from this world.
Bedren saw Galo's concern, and his thick palm pressed on his shoulder, and promised: "Don't worry, I will help you take care of their mother and son, after all, one is my daughter-in-law and the other is my grandson, I will not treat them harshly." β
ββ¦β¦β
Galo was still frowning, he didn't know what to think of Lillian's suggestion, this parting might be a lifetime.
"For the sake of the blood society, for the sake of your family, you must go." Bedren continued to lobby, "Complete this task, and you may not be held accountable for the precepts you committed. β
ββ¦β¦β
Listening to his father's words, Garlo fell into deep thought: Yes, the invasion of demons has seriously disrupted the order of this world, if the world is chaotic, will Lilian and them have a stable life?
During this time, there was constant news of homeless riots and heretical interrogations, and everything began to deviate from their proper tracks.
And the only way to get them back on track is to do everything in their power to eliminate the uncertain factor that caused all this, the demons.
Since ancient times, peace has been built on many sacrifices, not to mention that he is still the one who knows the demon race best, he has retreated, so who else is more suitable for this difficult task?
After a struggle of thoughts, Galo decided his mind: "I'll go." β
Bedren breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his son's shoulders, and said with relief: "It is worthy of my son!" β
"But-" In the next second, Galo's words changed and he looked at his father solemnly: "I must pick the people of the intelligence team!" β
"You ......" Bedren looked at his son's expression, which didn't look like a joke, "but ......"
"No, but." Galo interrupted his father's words domineeringly, "Since I am the captain, I have the right to choose the team members!" β
Looking at his son's smug appearance, Bedren raised his eyebrows: "Whatever you want!" β
The father and son agreed that in a month, the intelligence team belonging to Galo would see the model for the first time, otherwise they would accept the nomination of other princes from all walks of life.
