Chapter 671: Chapter 671: Making Them Suffer Through Hard Times...
Listening to the housekeeper’s words, Summer Shawcross couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
But what puzzled her was that, based on Butler Ye’s explanation and her own feelings during her stay with The Drexler Family, the old Mr. Drexler didn’t seem as heartless toward Noah Drexler and his mother as she had initially thought.
On the contrary, he seemed to care a lot about Noah Drexler’s mother, who was then the lady of the house.
But if that was the case, why did he treat the mother and son so indifferently back then, ignoring them and letting them live through such tough times...?
Just as Summer’s mind started to drift, Butler Ye continued his explanation.
"Mrs. Shawcross, I know you can’t understand, but... back then, the master was very heartbroken over the lady, which resulted in a lot of regret and pain in his heart, and he wanted to vent it in such a way."
"Butler Ye, I heard from Noah’s housekeeper that it was indeed Mr. Drexler who was heartless first, kicking Noah and his mother out from the Drexler Family." She felt perplexed, as if Mr. Drexler described by Noah’s housekeeper and the one in Butler Ye’s account were two different people.
"Sigh... actually, it was the lady who wanted to leave back then." Butler Ye sighed before slowly explaining.
"You don’t know, when the lady married the master, she already had a fiancé, but... due to unforeseen circumstances in her family, she had no choice but to agree to marry into The Drexler Family."
Hearing Butler Ye’s words, Summer showed a hint of surprise on her face, not expecting such a backstory between Noah’s parents.
So... did Noah’s mother never truly love Mr. Drexler?
Just as she was in shock, Butler Ye continued.
"However, initially, it wasn’t all bad. Although the lady disliked the master at first, over time, they gradually accepted each other and lived quite comfortably."
"Then... what happened later?" Hearing Butler Ye say this, Summer couldn’t help but ask curiously.
How did their relationship turn out the way it did in the end? Did something major happen?
"Later... the lady’s former fiancé encountered significant business troubles, and out of old affection and guilt for breaking off their engagement, she secretly took some money to help him once, but it was discovered by the master..."
"If it was just lending money, it shouldn’t have been a problem."
Back then, Mr. Drexler had coerced her into marrying him, so if she just lent money to her former fiancé without further contact, it shouldn’t have been an issue.
Hearing her say this, Butler Ye shook his head.
"But the master was always very suspicious and believed the lady still longed for that man. After discovering it, he was furious and had the man captured and beaten. However, this beating immediately triggered the relapse of the already weak man’s old illness... From then on, the lady never spoke to the master again. At that time, she was already pregnant with the young master. But no matter how the master explained and tried to make amends, she never showed him a good face again and stayed in the small courtyard to nurture her pregnancy."
Listening to Butler Ye’s words, Summer couldn’t help but feel a pang of sourness in her heart.
