Toxic Relationships
Family Dinners

...Happy Reading ...

The atmosphere of dinner half an hour ago was so quiet, only the sound of clanking plates and spoons clashing against each other. Clara looked down deeply, this was all as she had expected. Anne's birthday party now seems so awkward with her arrival. He should have followed Jack's words from the beginning. He was too pushy for the Hilton family to accept him.

“Hahh.. My mother sleeps.” The little girl Anne now seemed to yawn and look at the mother. Judy smiled faintly at her daughter.

“Sleep in the room with aunt, later mom will follow okay?”

Anne nodded and went to her room. Jack was now looking at Clara, clearly Clara who looked so nervous. Jack took a deep breath and threw it away. Even at dinner Clara did not touch the dish at all. But there was no word of retreat this time, they were already in sight.

“I and Clara will get married next month.”

Jack's words now make everyone look at him, Clara now looks panicked, she is not ready with a sudden statement made by Jack. Judy now looks at Jack and Clara with such enthusiasm, while Mr. Hilton and Mrs Hilton still look at them in disbelief. Mr. Hilton's gaze instantly turned cold.

“Do you think I'll approve it?”

Mr. Hilton's question made the atmosphere gripping. Clara took a deep breath, not like this she wanted. At least he and Jack had to mince words a little to get the hearts of both Mr. Hilton and Mrs Hilton. Jack never understood that.

“I don't even need your blessing.”

Jack's cold test made him back into the limelight. Even Judy and Mrs Hilton seemed so shocked. Clara's guts are shrinking, with Jack acting like this, again and again he will also be affected.

“Jack.”

Clara warns Jack. They won't get the blessing of Jack's parents if his attitude is still like this. He wants to ask for good blessing.

Hearing the son's words, Mr. Hilton seemed to clench his hand. Seeing how Mr. Hilton Clara reacted just took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. The plan had already failed to win Mr. Hilton's heart. All has been destroyed.

“Aren't you a woman who doesn't know herself so much Clara? Don't you realize Jack's so unlucky to be around you?”

Instead of answering his son's speech, Mr. Hilton is now attacking Clara. It was so obvious the hateful gaze Mr. Hilton cast on Clara.

The way that Mr. Hilton said to him, could only bow his head. Seeing how Clara reacted, Jack clenched his hand tightly. But Clara quickly pats Jack on the shoulder, hoping Jack does not get out of control again. Yes, he had prepared his mentality for this kind of scolding, and it did not have much effect on him.

“Dad!”

Judy screamed and looked at the father in annoyance, for him her father had gone too far to say such a thing. But Mr. Hilton did not budge by still staring at Jack and Clara alternately.

“I've even set up a free flight ticket and a decent place to stay in France for you, but you're still interfering with my son's life. Is becoming Mrs Hilton your biggest dream Miss Villegas?”

Clara fell silent, she could not even say a word. Jack is upset, he should know that meeting Clara with his family is a very stupid idea. And as Clara promised, she won't bring Clara back to her family again at any time.

“You will not be able to live happily! Until whenever Clara won't be comparable to you, Jack."

Hearing his father's words, Jack just smiled cynically, happy? Does his father know what his happiness is? If the father wanted his happiness, he would never marry his own secretary and leave his mother. All of Dad's words are nonsense.

Hearing the words coming out of Clara's mouth, Jack looked at her in surprise. Clara did not mess with his words, she really wanted her father to bless them. Hearing Clara's words, Mr. Hilton smiled cynically.

“Then what can you give to my son? Love?” Mr. Hilton smiled mockingly.

“Happiness, happiness for Jack that he did not get from his father.”

Said Clara and stared right at the bead of Mr. Hilton's eyes. Mr. Hilton fell silent and clenched his hands tightly. Judy and Mrs Hilton now looked at Clara with a faint smile. Their love story is so interesting for both.

Jack looked at Clara in disbelief, and then smiled. He really did not expect that Clara would talk like that to her father. Looking at his father who was just speechless, Jack now smiled cynically.

“Even if it wasn't for Clara, I would never have returned in this family.” Jack looked at the father coldly.

“You will never understand why Dad forbid you to be with him Jack.” Now Mr. Hilton looked at his son with sadness. Seeing the change in the expression of the father is so significant. Jack was silent.

“For Dad's smooth business, right? Matchmaking in the company is indeed so profitable.”

Said Jack cynically. From the beginning he was just a tool for the father in business, starting with the forcing of the department until now marriage. And he's sick of it, even after he's this successful his father still wants to manage his life.

“Only to you Father can bequeath all companies, Father only have you.”

Mr. Hilton said firmly. Jack looked at his older brother, Judy. Jack can see Judy's face change. The woman now lowered her head as their father's words were thrown from her lips. Jack closed his eyes and clucked, a feeling of guilt now filling the bottom of his heart.

“Do not even Dad realize having a daughter?” Ask Jack wonder. He did not think his father could speak like that in front of Judy.

Mr. Hilton's eyes now turned to look at Judy. But as soon as Mr. Hilton clucked, a few years ago Judy let her down so much, and that's why she couldn't trust her only daughter.

“Judy already defied Dad by marrying Leo, and look how her marriage is now! I don't want you to end up like Judy by marrying that woman, Jack!"

Judy now looked down deeply and bit her lower lip strongly. Yes, he made the biggest mistake. Marrying Leo and subsequently betrayed by the man he loved so much.

Even half of Judy's company had been seized by the man, which forced his company to go out of business. He had to work as a restaurant clerk to support Anne before Jack and his father knew the truth.

“Dad doesn't want you to end up the same as Judy, so understand. And I hope you understand Miss Villegas, too. Find a man who is your equal.”

Said Mr. Hilton staring at the two lovebirds. Jack smiled sinisterly while Clara was instantly speechless. After hearing why Mr. Hilton banned him from being with Jack, it made sense. Mr. Hilton just didn't want Jack to end badly, and stupidly why he couldn't understand.

Seeing Clara's expression change after her father said that sentence. As Jack's jaw tightened, he clenched his hand tightly.

“If it wasn't with Clara, I would never have married. Keep it all right!” Jack stared intently at Mr. Hilton before pulling Clara out of the mansion.
