Female Novel
Chapter 515
Abel and his mother, Rosaline, returned to Levan Mansion to find Lewis sitting on the couch with ascowl on his face.
Since last night, when he had heard Evelyn’s tearful confession that his son was “in love” with anotherman, Lewis had been livid.
The thought of his successful son, the CEO of Ryker Group, suddenly turning out to be gay wasenough to make Lewis feel like his world was crumbling.
He couldn’t bear the thought of his reputation being tarnished by such scandalous news.
As he wallowed in his despair, Abel and Rosaline entered the room.
Without a word, Lewis kicked off his slippers and lunged at Abel, ready to strike.
Abel effortlessly dodged as his father lunged toward him, looking unimpressed.
“Dad, what are you doing?” Abel asked calmly, his handsome face composed.
“What am I doing?” Lewis trembled with anger. “You want to kill your old man with this news of yours!”
“I haven’t done anything wrong,” Abel replied coolly.
“What more do you want?” Lewis fumed. “Do you have to marry a man just to stir up trouble in thisfamily?”
Abel remained silent, unsure of what to say.
What kind of talk was that?
Abel had never even considered the idea of marrying a man.
Lewis then noticed Luca standing nearby and swung his slipper at him as well.
“Keep an eye on Mr. Abel, you have a responsibility too!” he barked.
Luca, afraid to dodge, closed his eyes and braced himself for the impact.
If Mr. Abel truly had fallen in love with that “young man,” Luca didn’t know what he would do.
He’d just have to take the beating.
Abel quickly raised his hand to deflect his father’s slipper, sparing Luca from being struck.
“Dad, Luca has nothing to do with this. Why are you taking it out on him?” Abel asked, frowning.
“Nothing to do with it?” Lewis seethed. “What kind of assistant is he if he can’t keep an eye on you?”
“If Struyria finds out that the CEO of Ryker Group is gay, how will you survive?” he continued.
“Dad, you’re so outdated,” Abel replied, his brow furrowed. “What’s wrong with being gay? Besides, I’mnot even gay!”
“Not even gay?” Lewis sneered. “So you’re planning to be one then?”
“That’s right, Abel,” Rosaline added. “I saw you sleeping with that boy with my own eyes!”
“Sleeping with a boy?”
Lewis slumped onto the couch with a thud.
This was it, he thought. Their family’s reputation was ruined.
His son slept with another boy? That was just sickening. If this news ever got out to Landen, they wouldbe laughing at them. Worse yet, they might even report it to Oscar.
At his age, Oscar wouldn’t be able to accept homosexuality at all.
Can their son still keep his position as the CEO of Ryker Group?
As Lewis thought more about it, he became angrier and angrier and coughed violently.
Rosaline hurried over to pat her husband’s back, and said to Abel, “Son, do you want to kill yourparents with your anger?”
Abel furrowed his brows and didn’t want to explain.
“Just tell me,” Lewis pointed at his son, “can you stop associating with that man?”
“It’s not as serious as you guys make it out to be,” Abel said, annoyed. He couldn’t believe his parentswere so closed-minded.
“You still think it could get any worse?” Rosaline said. “Do you really plan on us getting a son-in-lawwho’s a man?”
Abel was about to answer when Luca’s phone rang.
Luca glanced at the screen and saw that it was the customer service line for the automotive repaircenter.
He didn’t answer, turning instead to Abel. “Mr. Abel, the car’s been fixed.”
“Okay,” Abel nodded, then added, “Don’t bother Emmett for the repair cost. We’ll pay for it ourselves.”
“Yes, Mr. Abel,” Luca replied.novelbin
“What’s going on?” Lewis could sense something was wrong and stood up abruptly. “The car was hit bythat kid?”
“Yes,” Abel nodded.
“Why didn’t you make him pay for the damages?” Lewis was getting angrier. “You just pity him, don’tyou?”
“He’s still a kid,” Abel reasoned. “Besides, it was an accident, and his car was damaged too.”
“You’re just being too soft!” Lewis jumped up, “You won’t change your ways, will you? You’ll only stopwhen I’m dead!”
“Dad!”
“Don’t call me dad, you’re the dad!”
Lewis’s face turned red, and his blood pressure skyrocketed. He took a deep breath and sat backdown.
