Chapter 222 Let Roland Have Her
Chaim had not been back to the Humphrey’s home for dinner for nearly a month. The last time he
came back, he only stayed
for a few minutes.
On the night that Gloria was punished, he left right after the beating.
Natalee could not keep Arthur, her husband, or Chaim, her son.
Chaim went back today. Seeing him, Natalee smiled brightly, “Chaim, you’re back”
Chaim nodded and sat down. “Grandfather.”
Eric glanced at Chaim. “Let’s eat. After that, I have something to say.”
Gloria had behaved herself lately ever since she was punished. At the table, except for Natalee’s voice
asking about Chaim’s
recent situation, there was only the sound of eating.
“Have you been busy recently? You seem a lot thinner.”
Although it had just been about five days, Natalee could tell that Chaim had lost some weight.
Chaim said casually, “No. I’m still the same.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis tone was cold. It was not the first time that Natalee had been treated coldly by Chaim, and she had
long been used to it. At
the very least, he wasn’t angry.
Yet Natalee did not ask anything anymore. The dining room of the Humphrey’s home fell completely
silent.
Gloria could never stay too long while sitting at the dining table since no one was allowed to take their
phones with them or chat while eating in the Humphrey’s home. She quickly finished eating, put down
her fork, and said, “Grandpa, Mom, Chaim, I
am full. I’m going back to my room now.”
Eric glanced at her. “Wait. Sit down. I have something to say.”
Gloria was stunned. She did not think that what Eric was about to announce had anything to do with
her, since every time, Eric
would say to Chaim.
However, Eric had already given his order, and naturally, Gloria did not dare to leave.
Soon, the others had eaten enough.
Eric took a sip of tea before slowly saying, “Natalee, what do you think of Samara?”
Hearing her name, Natalee was caught off guard. After a while, she said, “She… is fine.”
Natalee thought, for half of my life, Chaim doesn’t like to talk to me, and Gloria isn’t close to me either.
After Samara married
here, I finally had someone to talk to.
Samara is OK. I don’t like her or dislike her. And i think she treats me with respect. Occasionally, I
might complain, and Samara
always listens without saying anything. I’m not worried about her telling anyone. I just complain in front
of her, like tossing
garbage away.
However, Chaim doesn’t like Samara. So, I won’t be getting too attached to her.
Eric nodded and then looked at Chaim. “Chaim, I’ve been thinking about it for the past few days. The
things between you and
Samara shouldn’t end just like that. After Samara married into our family, I admit that we didn’t treat her
nicely enough. And you, as her husband, left her at home and did not even ask about her all year
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmround. She is a young girl after all. Since she married into our family, we should think of her as part of
us.
“In the three years that she married you, she respected me and treated Natalee well. But Gloria has a
bad temper and likes to provoke her. Everyone has their limits. I think of all the things Samara did back
then, she shouldn’t be blamed for all of them.
“Lennon died young, and you’re not getting any younger either. I wanted to find you another wife at
first, but I think marriage should be based on knowing and loving each other. Samara loves you so
much. And I can tell from these days that have feelings for her as well.”

Then Eric paused. “I’m old, and I don’t want to meddle with the young’s business. If you like Samara, go and remarry her.”
Chaim felt a little ironic at Eric’s words. “Grandpa, Samara said that she didn’t want to have anything to
do with our family.”
Eric’s expression changed, but he quickly regained his calm. “Young people tend to be impulsive and
say things in a fit of pique. You are a man, and you should take the initiative. I heard that Roland is
courting Samara. Are you really willing to let
Roland have her?”
