My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1383

Watching Henry keep hurting Maximillian with his words, Jared could not take it anymore. He lifted his legs and sent a kick toward Henry's chin. He fainted instantly and stopped crying.

"Drag him away." Jared's eyes were filled with disgust. He did not want to see Henry anymore. Max quickly brought some men and carried Henry away.

After a moment, the police arrived and immediately detained Henry. Max also handed over all the evidence they obtained to the police.

The living room had finally regained its peace.

However, if one listened closely, one could catch Maximillian sobbing softly. Maximillian turned his back to him, worried that Jared would notice him being weak.

He choked with sobs after a long while, "My whole life is a failure. My sons are killing each other, and my grandson has to carry these burdens alone. I am a huge failure!"

Jared felt the sadness coming from Maximillian. He went forward to carry him and said, "Grandpa, I do not blame you."

That sentence alone made Maximillian teared up out of guilt again. He quickly stretched out his hand and hugged Jared.

The pain of losing his own son and the guilt of not being a good grandfather to his grandson stirred Maximillian's heart. He hugged Jared and cried for a long time.

It was nighttime.

Jared comforted Maximillian to sleep. Then, he went downstairs and was immediately approached by Max.

"All the evidence of Henry scheming to hurt your parents has been sent to the police station. Adding up to his attempted murder at the hospital, tax evasion, corruption, and other charges, I believe Henry would get a death sentence."

Jared's eyes were dark as he listened to a useless person's fate. Then, he walked out of the manor, turned around, and glanced at it.

He took a deep breath, "Mum, dad... The both of you may rest in peace now."

At that moment, Jared suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled her over, and made her sit on his lap. Then, he immediately hugged her without letting her see his face. She sat still as she felt Jared's chin resting on her shoulder.

'What happened to this guy? He doesn't seem to be in a good mood.'

However, Nicole never asked anything. She just let Jared hug her for a long time. It was not until Jared's mood lightened that he asked, "Why did you come here without saying anything?"

'Does she know I need her by my side now?'

Nicole avoided his gaze guiltily, "I missed grandma. Why can't I come?"

To be frank, she did not want to see Jared and be reminded of the lipstick stain. Instead, she wanted to go home and calm down.
