Chapter 1743 A New Life
Sigrith was aware of the current situation. As Jonathan came in after Sigrith finished bandaging her wound, she kneeled before him.
“What are you doing?”
Jonathan was shocked and quickly asked Sigrith to get up.
Nonetheless, Sigrith, who looked teary-eyed again, shook her head in response.
“Uncle Jonathan, we… didn’t know that Colton… isn’t a member of the Jadesons. He never told us about it. Besides, I’ve never done anything wrong ever since I became part of the Jadesons. Can you please let go of my two children?” Sigrith begged as she knelt on the floor.
It turned out that Sigrith was worried her two children would be in trouble because of their father’s deed. She was willing to let go of her dignity and life for her children’s safety.
Since her children’s grandfather was a rebel, Sigrith understood that no one would let go of them even if they moved out and lived elsewhere.
The next moment, Sigrith was taken by surprise because Jonathan answered without hesitation, “Nonsense! Why do I have to let go of the two kids? I mean, they didn’t do anything wrong! Moreover, even your husband Colton was forced to do it.”
“What did you say? Did someone force him to do it?”
Sigrith looked up at Jonathan in shock.
Am I hearing things?
“Yes, Eddie forced himself on Elizabeth back then. Just imagine who would willingly give birth to a raper’s child? Since the Jadesons and the Limmers were rivals, she deliberately wanted the Jadesons to accept the kid to take revenge against Eddie. Besides, she refused to let Eddie know he has a son.”
As Jonathan explained slowly, Sigrith couldn’t tell if he was lying and was overwhelmed with shock.
Staring at Jonathan, Sigrith thought she had found a glimmer of hope amid despair. After a while, she shivered in excitement.
“Uncle Jonathan, are you serious?”
“Of course. You can ask Sebastian if you don’t believe me. He went to Yartran in person to deal with the matter. Colton was killed by his mother because he wasn’t willing to succumb to her.
“Elizabeth suffered cognitive distortions after her life was ruined by Eddie. She forced Colton to become the next Eddie, but Colton refused. In the end, Colton handed over the map that depicted Eddie’s hidden forces around the world to Sebastian. Hence, do you think he would betray the Jadesons?”
Jonathan gazed at Sigrith gently and caringly as he was speaking.
I have made the decision. If the same grudge is passed on from generation to generation, both sides will never live in peace. Therefore, the best solution to resolve it is to be forgiving.
Sigrith burst into tears, for she was emotional and felt that a new life had just arrived. Then, she ran out of the room to look for her two children.
Shortly after, the children at Oceanic Estate could hear Sigrith’s kids burst into tears.
On the third floor, Sasha and the man in front of her looked at each other and smiled.
The next day was the New Year’s Eve.
As the lady of the house at Oceanic Estate, Sasha purposely invited Sigrith and her children to celebrate the new year together.
Sigrith gladly agreed as soon as she received the invitation.
With Sigrith and her children as guests, the atmosphere at Oceanic Estate became merry.
There were nine children at Oceanic Estate because Cameron had also arrived. After knowing Sigrith’s good news, Cameron didn’t want to be bothered by the elder at The Ataraxy but came to Oceanic Estate to celebrate the new year instead.
Also, Sasha had to fork out a considerable amount of money to prepare some gifts for the kids.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner ended, Jonathan was shocked because many children lined up before him.
Sasha said, “Grandpa, you don’t have to give them much. Sebastian has prepared gifts for them.”
Jonathan responded with a smile and began distributing his gifts to the kids.
Everyone knew that Jonathan wasn’t a stingy person. However, Sebastian recently kept an eye on Jonathan’s spending, for he didn’t allow Jonathan to buy cigarettes. Besides, Jonathan didn’t have much pension, thus leaving him no choice but to spend cautiously.
After Jonathan distributed the gifts, Jeffrey said, “Mommy, Great-grandpa gave me two hundred in cash.”
Immediately, Nina chimed in, “Me too!”
Sabrina and Jonathan were rendered speechless upon hearing it.
These scoundrels!
Nevertheless, Jonathan was delighted deep down.
After dinner, the adults began playing games, whereas the kids who had just received gifts went to the observation tower to play with firecrackers.
Vivian carried a lot of firecrackers and took Kurt to a spot with the best view.
Meanwhile, Susan couldn’t help but ask, “Why do I feel that something is wrong between them? Ian, are they-”
“Ahem… ahem…” Ian felt a little awkward.
Ian didn’t respond to Sabrina’s question. Since the garden was big enough, he took some firecrackers and brought her to another spot instead.
“Aunt Susan, may I ask what’s it like to study at your university? Can you ask my daddy to let me study there? I’ve heard that your university is a good place to study.”
“Ah?”
Susan, who was playing with firecrackers, gazed at Ian in surprise.
