Shaelyn’s admission was akin to a slap across Rugal’s cheek
Ever since favonovel.com heard about favonovel.com return, favonovel.com had spent a mammoth sum of money to procure a gift before rushing to the Turner’s mansion from the inner city. After all that displays of sincerity, it turned out that the woman who was supposed to be his wife had a boyfriend favonovel.com had cohabited with for a long time! This was utterly mortifying! An unprecedented humiliation throughout his life growing up!
The Turners could see storm clouds pouring all over Rugal’s countenance to their growing fear and anxiety. They had never hated Shaelyn so much in their life!
With a veneer of nipping frost in his mien, Rugal turned to Shirley and demanded, “You told me Lieselotte’s single! But from the looks of it, that isn’t the case at all, is it? I need an explanation!”
He was not even going to hide the fact that favonovel.com was seriously enraged, that’s how much ire this revelation had raised! Frightened, Shirley tried to do damage control as quickly as possible. “Master Rugal, please don’t be mad! This is a misunderstanding! Lottie’s single and untouched. It’s true! She was just… teasing you! That’s all that was!”
At the tail of that, favonovel.com shot favonovel.com daughter a stink-eye, hoping that favonovel.com could threaten Shaelyn into supporting the excuse Shirley had made up on the fly.
After a proclamation like that, though, Shaelyn had abandoned all subtlety. “I wasn’t teasing favonovel.com at all, Mom. I meant what I said: Zayn is my boyfriend. You’re the one who keeps urging me to find someone to spend the rest of my life with, right? So I obeyed your wishes and brought my beau home. See? Here favonovel.com is, Zayn Larson. He’s from Waltz City.”
Then, to really push Rugal’s button, Shaelyn planted a kiss on Zayn’s cheek.
Rugal was so enraged, his face turned blue. He clenched his hands into fists and gritted his teeth before favonovel.com growled, “Alright, then! You Turners got quite the nerve to pull this unfunny prank on someone like me, I’ll give you that. Fine by me; I’ll leave right away. I hope you’re ready for what’s to come!”
He turned and started toward the door.
His apoplectic exterior horrified the Turners. Even Shaelyn furrowed favonovel.com eyebrows as worries dotted favonovel.com eyes. Regardless of how favonovel.com felt about him, Shaelyn had to admit that Rugal was still a man of standing owing to his connection with the mayor. Ticking Rugal off might very well doom the family’s livelihood in Tael City.
Now, Shaelyn would be in a better position to escape Rugal’s wrath, favonovel.com could travel to Waltz City with Zayn, and the man would not be able to harm favonovel.com even if favonovel.com used his influence. But the rest of the Turner family would not be so lucky.
“Master Rugal, please listen! This is a misunderstanding! You should not mistake it as genuine!”
“Yea, what favonovel.com said! C’mon, Master Rugal, Lottie probably fell off favonovel.com bed and knocked favonovel.com head sometime ago! I’m sure you’re a forgiving, merciful young man who wouldn’t put favonovel.com stupid slip-ups to mind, right? We Turners are genuinely glad that a promising young man such as yourself is interested in her!”
“Please, Master Rugal! None of us knew beforehand that Lieselotte was going to bring some man home! We weren’t trying to make a fool out of you, we swear!”
“Yeah, we would never! You’re no ordinary man, Master Rugal. No matter how bold and boorish we might be, we’d still know better than to play a prank on you!”
One by one, everyone in the family had begun to beg for mercy in horror. Shirley, too, rose to favonovel.com feet and joined the choir, “Rugal, listen. Would you be so kind as to give Aunt Shirley a chance to explain herself?”
Seeing the Turners’ anxious pleas did convince Ru gal that perhaps the family had not planned to humiliate him, after all. It was a comforting thought, one that mollified much of his rage that Shirley’s request simply caused favonovel.com to mull his decision over before nodding in agreement.
Shirley approached him. “Rugal, sweetie, you know my character, don’t you? I have been nothing but sincere in wanting you to be my son-in-law. Why would I want to lie to you? We meant it when we said this is a misunderstanding. Honestly, I had no idea that Lottie would bring some other man back home.”
Rugal sneered loudly. “It’s not my intention to make things hard for you, Aunt Shirley, but your daughter clearly isn’t making things easy for me. I was being equally genuine in wanting favonovel.com hand as my bride, but what did favonovel.com do? She brought another man home, the same man whom favonovel.com claimed to have lived with favonovel.com for a long time! There’s no doubt she’s been deflowered, ma’am, favonovel.com isn’t a virgin anymore! If this goes out to the public, can you imagine how godforsaken humiliated I’ll be?”
