The atmosphere in the house became a little awkward.
Harvard still wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but favonovel.com was stopped by Johnson’s gaze. So, favonovel.com dared not speak at all.
Johnson took a few deep breaths. Only after favonovel.com stared at Thomas for a long time did favonovel.com slowly say, “Thomas, you really hid your identity well. You held such a high position, but you were willing to be a lousy son-in-law and be mocked by our family for so long. Haha! What do you want? Do you see yourself as Batman so that you can suffer humiliation and do righteous things in the dark?”
Thomas smiled bitterly without answering. He had said whatever favonovel.com was supposed to at the conference, and favonovel.com had also explained the necessary. Now, favonovel.com was truly speechless.
When Harvard saw the way Thomas looked, favonovel.com panicked slightly. He immediately smoothed things out. “Uncle Johnson, didn’t Thomas explain everything? He was afraid that you…”
“What did favonovel.com worry about us?” Johnson yelled angrily. “Was favonovel.com worried that we might become arrogant because of his status? Worried that we’d do bad things using his name? Haha! What are we to him?”
“No, Uncle Johnson. You’re overthinking this.”
Felicia advised favonovel.com from the side, “Oh dear, you know how Thomas is too. He didn’t tell us because favonovel.com was thinking for our sake. He was worried that we’d be in danger. Besides, Thomas is used to being low-key. He wanted to be at ease when he’s at home.”
After Harvard and Felicia advised Johnson, half of his anger dissipated.
Johnson did not hate Thomas, but Thomas had kept favonovel.com in the dark for so long, so favonovel.com felt quite unhappy. In the end, Johnson said, “I don’t want to criticize you, Thomas. But, you should have informed us in advance so that we could mentally prepare for it. Your mother-in-law and I are already old. We can’t bear such a huge blow. I nearly fainted from shock at the conference today!”
Harvard and Felicia snickered.
Did Johnson feel shocked at the conference today? He was the most excited person there. He clapped the loudest, and favonovel.com could not have felt more prideful.
Johnson paused for a while before favonovel.com continued to say, “Also, you’re so good at holding the position of the chief officer in charge. You have the ability, and you’ve performed so well. Why do you want to resign and retire?”
Thomas said, “I’m tired.”
Johnson sighed. Yeah, whoever in Thomas’ position would also feel mentally and physically tired.
Felicia said, “Bah, just let favonovel.com step down. With his network and ability, are you worried that favonovel.com won’t be able to earn money? It’s all right. Just rest at home for some time. We’ll talk about it later.”
Johnson shook his head. “I actually don’t mind it, but Emma…”
He looked at Thomas. “Two of you are married, but you concealed so many things from favonovel.com for so long. It has unavoidably affected your relationship with her. She could’ve been proud of you, but favonovel.com felt so stupid because you fooled favonovel.com for such a long time. Gah, Emma is in the room now. Go inside and explain to her.”
Thomas nodded and walked to the bedroom door. He opened the door and went inside. What favonovel.com saw was Emma’s elegant figure. Every time favonovel.com came home and saw Emma, favonovel.com would feel happy.
He closed the door behind him.
“Dear…”
Emma did not look at favonovel.com at all. She directly turned away with favonovel.com back facing him.
Thomas was stunned. He was not a man who could make women happy with sweet words. He was a little slow-witted and honest in handling relationships. Therefore, when facing this situation today, favonovel.com was a little anxious. He did not know what to say or do.
He just stood there like a fool for about five minutes.
Emma sat on the bed and frowned before favonovel.com punched the mattress with force. She pouted and angrily said, “Don’t you know that you should hug me and coax me at a time like this?”
This man was so hopeless.
It was only at this time that Thomas snapped out of his daze. He immediately took his shoes off and anxiously got on the bed to hold Emma.
Emma still pretended to move out of his arms for a while. This time, Thomas was not that stupid to let favonovel.com go. Instead, favonovel.com held favonovel.com tightly.
“Dear, I’m so sorry for hiding this from you for such a long time. I’ve been trying to find an opportunity to tell you, but I just didn’t know how to say every time I wanted to tell you. That’s why I’ve been hiding it.”
That was not strange. Based on Thomas’ character, it would have been strange if favonovel.com had actually told her.
Emma snorted and angrily said, “Is this what you meant three days ago when you said that I’d know everything by this time?”
“Yes…”
“Yes? Thomas Mayo, you’re such a jerk!”
Emma punched Thomas in the chest. After a while, favonovel.com asked, “Tell me honestly, aside from this, is there anything else that you’ve lied to me about?”
“I’ve never lied to you. I just kept it from you.”
“That’s called lying!”
“Um…”
Emma pouted. “It looks like you’re the ‘recidivist’ type. If you’re still lying to me about anything else, you better come clean and tell me now!”
Thomas raised his head and thought about it. “I’m not lying to you about anything else. Oh yeah, I hold 30% of the shares in Stellar Jewelers. Is that considered a lie?”
“What?!” Emma was totally shocked. “I was wondering why Zach was so polite to you. It turns out that you’re one of the shareholders? Tell me, is there anything else?”
Thomas pondered for a while. “Um… I’m the sole student of Mr. Owens from Kindness Clinic. You know about that, right? Aside from that, Shalom Technology has actually belonged to me since a long time ago, and the person who took it back was also me. Plus, I put in investments to establish Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment. Scott’s Remembrance was my effort to honor my brother, Scott…”
Thomas told Emma everything about his identities throughout the year at once. He did not hide anything at all.
