Rebirth: Dancing In My Destiny
Chapter 182: Regret

Chapter 182: Regret

Many regrets suddenly appeared in Anthony Collins’ mind at this moment. He deeply regretted losing so much time with his son as he grew up, and the distance between them grew even farther when he agreed to his wife’s request for divorce. Since then, his son never addressed him again as his father.

"Evan, I’m your father. Don’t you want to introduce the girl to me?"

Evan kept silent, ignoring his father’s words.

"I mean, Rose Wilson...."

"As long as you still have thought about stopping our relationship, you didn’t deserve to meet her. But, if you change your mind and accept her sincerely and wholeheartedly, I will consider it!"

Anthony Collins gripped his cell phone tight to hide the anger that almost swallowed him. Now, he couldn’t stop his son from marrying Rose Wilson. As the father, Anthony Collins couldn’t do anything but accept the girl as his son’s wife. The head of Collins’ business groups never gave up finding a woman for his son’s wife. A woman from a proper family will undoubtedly benefit Wilson Group in the future. He already had a few candidates in his mind, but too bad his son is such headstrong.

"Son, I never stopped you from dating Rose Wilson. I’m just making suggestions for you. Did you forget?"

Evan shook his head lightly, hearing his father wanted to twist his words again. Damn!

"Let me in. I won’t spoil your happy day...." Anthony Collins couldn’t do anything now because his father was with them.

His plan now is to meet Doris. Once separated, it was so difficult to meet her. Doris altogether avoids him. Even when he made her jealous by bringing another woman into Collins’ house, she didn’t budge. Even, she cut off all communication between them.

When he found out that Doris had come to their house, he was so happy. This was his chance to meet and talk to her. Maybe by talking to her at their old home, Doris’s frozen heart could melt again. He loves her, but only for a single mistake. She asks for a divorce. His pride as a man seems to be being tested. And then he could not control his emotions and just accept whether she wanted to. And he really regrets that moment.

Evan hesitated when he heard his father’s.

For a slight moment, he wanted his father to be among them. Because he was concerned that his mother-in-law would realize that his father had not accepted Rose, he was not among them. But on the other hand, he was worried that his mother would feel uncomfortable being in the same place as his father.

"It’s not that I don’t want you to come in." Evan finally spoke after a moment of silence. "My mother is here. She asked about the condition before coming here; Her ex is not in this place!"

Anthony Collins’ heart sank even more when Doris made such a request. How could she still be mad at him after all these years?

"Son...." Before Anthony Collins finished his sentence, from the other end, he could faintly hear the voice of the woman he had missed so much,

"Let him in!"

Evan was dumbfounded to see his mother, who was now standing behind him. She looked calm, almost expressionless. It was like he was dealing with a mannequin version of his mother.

"Are you sure, mother!?"

"Yes! You go inside, let me take care of that old man! Don’t let your mother-in-law worry. You have been out here for a long time...."

Molly was worried that something had happened to her son, so she went to check. When she came out, she heard her son talking on the phone. After overhearing what he said, she knew immediately that her ex-husband was bothering her son on his wedding day!?

It makes her heart boil. That fool Anthony really asked to be scolded!

Evan didn’t say anything. He just followed his mother’s wish as he walked fast into the house.

When he arrived in the family room, he saw her wife talking to his grandpa and her mother. While his friends are talking at the end of the room. They drink wine served by waiters in black and white uniforms who are seen pacing back and forth in the vast dining room. He also saw Jamie Stone, Molly’s close friend, standing alone in the corner, near the massive glass wall, looking at the city view.

"Everything is fine outside?" Arthur Collins stood up and whispered to ask his grandson. Earlier, he was shocked at his daughter-in-law leaving the room and heading outside. He was afraid that his son and daughter-in-law would fight like they usually do if they met. It would be embarrassing if Molly Wilson witnessed the horror of his family.

"Yeah! My mother will take care of him. As long as he does not make trouble here, I will let him in. I just worry about how my mother is feeling."

"He won’t dare to do anything as long as I’m here. Don’t worry!" Arthur patted his grandson’s shoulder lightly, "Grandpa will go to the reading room. Call me if the lunch is ready. Evan could see only nodes as he walked toward Rose. He sat beside her.

"Son-In-Law..." Molly suddenly looked at Evan with a gratitude-looking face. "I entrust my daughter to you. Please take care of her. Please also guide her to be a good wife and mother to her children in the future." Her voice trembled to hold back the mixed emotions in her heart. She had many wishes and words she wanted to share with her daughter and son-in-law, but for some reason, she couldn’t express them in words.

Molly turned her gaze to her daughter. With her teary-looking eyes, she said, "Daughter, my duty to look after you is done. Now, Evan will look after you. As his wife, you have to obey him...."

"M-Mom! I will..." Rose suddenly stammered, unable to contain her emotions.

"Mother, how lucky I’m to have Rose as my wife and my future child’s mother. I promise you, I will always care for and love her until my last breath...."
