Chapter 336
Chapter 136 This Is Your Retribution
Both Luke and re choked.
Unsaleable goods?
It they were considered unsaleable goods, what would other men be?
Detective goods?
Although the twoined in their minds, neither of them dared to argue openly with their own
mother.
They could not win anyway.
Therefore, both of them chose to remain silent.
Luke kept his expressionless face and said nothing, while re lowered his head and filled his te.
Seeing this, Nancy felt she could not let the two of them off so easily.
She nced at re and said, “All you know is eat, how do you have the appetite to eat when you
don’t even have a girlfriend?”
re held the te in his hand, not knowing whether to continue or put it down.
He looked at Nancy and said helplessly. “Muin, Luke is older than me, if he is not in a hurry, neither am
I.”
What re meant to tell her mother was that if her mother wanted to rush him to get married, she
should rush Luke
first and he could wait.
Luke turned his head and looked at re calmly.
re pretended not to see it and continued, “Mum, didn’t Luke say yesterday that he was looking for a
sh
marriage?”
“That’s right!” As this matter was brought up, Nancy immediately became excited. “When are you going
to have a sh marriage?”
Luke had a bit of a headache. He just said it casually yesterday, but he did not expect it to be taken
seriously.
Luke paused and said, “Mum, I don’t think the meaning of life lies in marriage. I think the sense of
pleasure and aplishment I get through work is not inferior to what marriage brings me. So, I’m not
in a hurry to get married.”
“Why are you not in a hurry? The sense of aplishment and satisfaction brought by work is
completely different from that brought by marriage. Besides, your situation ispletely different.”
Nancy red at Luke and said, “You don’t even talk to women at all, you might as well be a monk since
you’re so much of a prude.”
Luke said seriously, “I won’t be a monk.”
“You better not!” Nancy snorted, “You have to experience and try everything. Women are the cutest
existence in the world. Is your heart made of stone? How are you not interested in women at all?”
Luke was helpless. “I just find them troublesome.”
There were two women in his family, no, there were three now.
All throughout his life, Nancy and Ziana were creatures one more delicate than the other, and needed
him to pamper and tter them as much as possible.
As a creature that delicate, women needed not just money, but a lot of attention and love.

They were like delicate flowers. Time, money, and sincerity were indispensable. Otherwise, the flowers
would not bloom well enough
Never mind if he did not have a woman, but if he did, he had to take care of her with everything he had.
Therefore, he did not find a woman because he did not want to spend the time and effort on them.
“Yesterday, you promised me to have a sh marriage, was that a lie?” Nancy asked, and immediately
turned to Max,
“Honey, look at your son, he lied to me!”
Max loved his wife more than anything, so of course, he stood by his wife without hesitation.
He said to Luke, “Go find someone and get a sh marriage after you eat.”
Luke knew that he could not escape, so he said quietly, “Got it.”
“Where are you going to find one?” Nancy asked, “We have to respect the girl’s opinions.”
“I know.” Luke filled his bowl with soup and said, “I’ll go after eating.”
“Okay, okay, eat quickly.” Nancy urged Luke after receiving his answer. “I gave you your birth certificate
and security. number. If you meet someone suitable, you can take her home after getting the marriage
certificate. Do you
understand?”
Luke nodded mechanically and said, “Got it.”
“Eat quickly!”
The others, including Ziana and Edison, secretlyughed at this scene.
Edison whispered to Ziana, “Is Luke really going to find someone and get a sh marriage?”
Ziana nodded solemnly, “Otherwise Mom will annoy him to death.”
Edison showed sympathy toward Luke.
Ziana suddenly asked, “Have you never been rushed into a marriage before? Didn’t your mother
arrange dates for
you?”
Edison’s expression froze. “The… the rtionship between my mother and me is not very good.”
Ziana was surprised. It was a little unexpected.
She heard Edison’s story yesterday of how Edison and his mother wandered the streets for years when
Edison was young, and the two of them were only found by the Western Royalty many yearster.
Logically speaking, the rtionship between the two should be rtively intimate since they went
through so much together.
Without waiting for Ziana to ask, Edison continued, “I know you must be wondering, how is it that my
mother and I don’t have a good rtionship, despite my past and how we relied on only each other for
so many years, right? Well, the truth is… she did something wrong iming it was for my sake, and I
did something wrong too. I can’t forgive myself for that, so I can’t forgive her either.”
Ziana seemed to understand. “Everyone will do wrong things sometimes. As long as it’s not something
that’s a matter of principles and the person is willing to make things right, I think that’s enough. Plus,
didn’t you say it yourself, that she did that thing for your sake?”
Edison was a little emotional.
He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and raised his head suddenly. “What if that wrong thing
almost killed
someone? She hurt someone else for me, and even almost killed that person. I saw it with my own
eyes it’s just ton
Cruel!”
“I see…” Ziana was silent.
She was born at the top of the pyramid. The Scott family had a good family atmosphere, and the whole
family was harmonious.
But she knew very well that there were a lot of conflicts in big families, and that many of those family
members were willing to use any means necessary, be it openly or secretly, to reach their goals.
Especially in royal families like the Western Royalty, because most children of the royal family did not
share the same mother, so even brothers and sisters were not on the same side.
In order to fight for power, these people used all kinds of methods, and those methods were all aimed
atpletely eliminating the opponent.
Ziana thought that Edison was talking about something in the realm of brothers and sisters killing each
other.
“Don’t get too distant from your mother because of these outsiders. If the person the two of you hurt
chooses to forgive you, I think you and your mother will no longer be so bothered by this.” Ziana asked
curiously, “Have you sought forgiveness from the person you hurt?”
Edison looked at her, and a gleam appeared in his eyes, “Seek forgiveness from the victim?”
“Yes.”
“Not yet.” Edison shook his head.
Ziana said, “You’d better admit your mistake to the victim.”
Edison was silent for a while, then said, “She still doesn’t know that I’m the one who did it… It’s been a
long time. If I don’t mention it, maybe she can live the rest of her life never knowing. But if I told her and
she doesn’t forgive me, even hates me, and stays away from me, what should I do?”
“Why would you think that?” Ziana turned her head and looked at Edison seriously. “Things like that
can’t be kept a secret forever. You’ve done something wrong and hope to be forgiven, so you have to
be honest and admit your mistake. After all, you hurt that person, and apologizing is to seek that
person’s forgiveness.
“But if that person doesn’t forgive you, even hates you, and stays away from you, you should put up
with it.
“This is your retribution, the price for doing something wrong.”
Edison’s pupils shrank suddenly, and his voice could not help but tremble as he said, “I… I see, I’ll think
about it again.”
Ziana saw that Edison’s face was not looking well, so sheforted him, “However, it’s better to
apologize sooner rather thanter. It’s better for you to admit your mistakes yourself than for that
person to find out about this matter ande to question you, that’ll only make things more difficult.
Nheless, I’m just suggesting, let’s eat first.”
Edison nodded but felt exhausted all over. Even his hand holding the fork seemed to have been
drained of strength.
