Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 577: Oliver Nash’s Death, Had a Great Impact on Him…
After speaking, Neal Galan’s eyes became even more sorrowful as he continued, "And after what happened with Oliver, I’m even more reluctant to get married..."
Oliver passed away, leaving this world forever.
Right now, the Galan Estate doesn’t know about this, and he doesn’t dare to say it.
In countless moments of the past, when Oliver tangled with Neal Galan and hurt Melody Parker, Neal really wanted to take matters into his own hands and kill Oliver.
But Neal had never done so.
Because of his mother’s last wish, and because of the complex relationship between Neal Galan and Oliver.
Neal hated Oliver, detested Oliver, wished to kill Oliver, but at the same time, Oliver was the brother Neal trusted and was closest to in his childhood, a family member he once loved...
In the countless deep, silent nights after Oliver’s death, Neal Galan often woke up from nightmares: Was this man, who shared the Galan bloodline with him, this closest, most trusted brother from his childhood, someone Neal Galan had driven to his death?
If he hadn’t dwelt on that cursed bond of theirs, hadn’t harbored those inappropriate desires, perhaps they would still be as they were in their childhood.
They were the closest of brothers, who could take on everything the Galan Estate demanded together.
But what about now.
Neal Galan’s heart was in great pain, very heavy.
Especially in the deep of night, he often sank into endless torment...
Neal Galan couldn’t understand whose fault Oliver’s death truly was.
Although he wasn’t the one who killed Oliver, he died because of him.
If he had not been so cold, hateful, and hostile towards Oliver, and if he had earnestly advised him, wouldn’t Oliver have died?
Melody Parker knew that Oliver’s death made Neal Galan feel very guilty.
Looking at Neal Galan, she softly comforted, "Neal, it’s not your fault, it was Oliver himself who was too stubborn..."
Before she could finish, Old Master Galan’s aged voice rang out, "What happened to Oliver?"
Old Master Galan didn’t know about Oliver’s death, because apart from Melody Parker, Neal Galan hadn’t told anyone about Oliver’s passing.
Especially Old Master Galan, Neal would never let him know.
Because Oliver was also Old Master Galan’s grandson, part of the Galan bloodline, and Oliver had always stayed by Old Master Galan’s side during those years Neal had driven him to River City.
To this grandson, Old Master Galan was equally fond and loved.
Hearing Old Master Galan’s voice, Neal Galan immediately turned his head, "Grandpa, you’re awake?"
"Rubbish!" Old Master Galan scolded, very displeased and reprimanding Neal Galan, "What, are you disappointed that you didn’t succeed in angering your grandfather to death?"
"Grandpa, Neal would never think that way," Melody Parker stepped forward, looking at Old Master Galan, and continued softly, "Grandpa, Neal cares about you very much, really."
"Humph!" Old Master Galan snorted coldly, throwing a childish tantrum, "This unfilial grandson would still care about this old man?"
Melody Parker smiled gently at the old master, "Grandpa, you wouldn’t believe how worried and scared Neal was when you fainted just now."
With that, Melody Parker sighed, "Ah!... If I’d known you wouldn’t believe it, I should have recorded it on my phone just then."
Melody Parker appeared regretful, "But at the time, I was just too worried about you, and I ended up forgetting such an important thing."
Being told this way by Melody Parker, most of Old Master Galan’s temper dissipated.
And the matter of Oliver was successfully muddled through.
Old Master Galan looked at Melody Parker, sincerely fond of her, "Girl, how much I wish you could marry that brat! Why did you suddenly break up?"
Speaking, Old Master Galan glared at Neal Galan, questioning in tone, "Brat, did you upset her?"
Neal Galan: "..."
He loved Melody so much, how could he upset Melody?
But Melody had never belonged to him, and the prior engagement arrangement was merely a net he set up for Melody.
But even before this net had fully spread, Adrian Davies had already disrupted it.
Neal Galan’s silence was interpreted by Old Master Galan as acquiescence.
Old Master Galan glared at Neal Galan, looking exasperated, "I knew it! It turns out it was you, this useless thing, that upset her!"
Old Master Galan looked at Melody Parker, "Girl, for Grandpa’s sake, let’s not hold grudges against this silly boy, alright?"
Melody Parker: "..."
This didn’t happen, what could she say.
Old Master Galan looked at Neal Galan again, with angry eyes ordering, "You brat, apologize to her quickly!"
Neal Galan looked at Melody Parker, obediently apologized, "Melody, I’m sorry, please forgive me."
Melody Parker: "..."
Old Master Galan looked at Melody Parker with benevolence, his aged eyes holding unbridled anticipation.
Melody Parker was helpless, forcing herself to go along with Neal Galan, "Neal, it’s okay."
"Good, good, good, this is the right way." Old Master Galan was overjoyed, his dry, wrinkled old hand reached out, excitedly holding Melody Parker’s hand, "My granddaughter-in-law, I’m getting old and don’t have many days left..."
Neal Galan interrupted Old Master Galan, "Grandpa, don’t say that, your health is excellent..."
Old Master Galan glared at Neal Galan, his tone not good, "I know my own body! Stand aside and don’t talk!"
After speaking, Old Master Galan kindly looked at Melody Parker, harmoniously discussing, "Granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa just hopes you and that brat will get married soon, don’t make Grandpa wait too long, okay?"
Melody Parker: "..."
This was truly something Melody Parker could not promise.
Because it’s a promise Melody Parker couldn’t fulfill, she didn’t want to deceive the old man.
Yet Melody Parker couldn’t refuse as she did with Neal Galan, because after all, the old master just fainted and woke up, and she also heard what the family doctor said earlier.
Thus, Melody Parker was caught in a dilemma.
Understanding Melody Parker’s predicament, Neal Galan spoke in a deep voice, "Grandpa, let’s talk about this later."
The old master was displeased, angrily glaring at Neal Galan, "What do you mean later, how would Grandpa be able to see his great-grandson if we wait till later, do you mean to say you won’t let Grandpa see a great-grandson even until death?!"
"No, Grandpa." Neal Galan spoke, his eyes heavy.
Seeing this, Old Master Galan not wanting to push further, finally dropped the topic.
Melody Parker and Neal Galan stayed a while longer at the Galan estate and, after ensuring Old Master Galan was fine, the two left together.
After leaving the Galan estate, Melody Parker originally planned to return directly to her apartment.
However, seeing Neal Galan seemed in a bad mood, Melody Parker dismissed the idea.
Worried about her two treasures being home alone, Melody Parker called Benjamin Parker.
