When Ryan and Ruth were brought to the island, Sawyer had already arranged everything.
Simon took them to him and said respectfully, "Sir, Master and Madam have arrived."
Sawyer turned around from the sofa and asked in apathy, "Dad, mom, why didn't you inform me before coming over?"
"Didn't I told you on the phone that I'm coming anytime soon?" Ryan said with impatient.
"Sawyer? Where's Abner?" Ruth looked around but couldn't find any trace of her grandson.
"He went out to play."
"Oh." Ruth thought to herself that Abner wasn't here, so they wanted to ask Sawyer for a private dinner.
Sawyer made a gestured to show them the seat, "Dad, Mom, please take a seat."
"Ryan, let's take a sit." Ruth pulled Ryan and sat down together. She looked anxiously at Sawyer and said, "Sawyer, your father told me that Abner was Sissi and your child. Is this true?"
Sawyer admitted, "It's true."
His words had torn the benefit of doubt that Ruth had relied on to calm herself. She asked sadly, "Sawyer, how, how could you do such a thing?"
Sawyer lightly asked, "Mom, which one you are referring?"
Ruth said in a hurry, "Which one? Of course it is about Sissi's premarital pregnancy.
Sawyer mocked with his glamorous voice, "Back then, Sissi and I were both single, and baby was the result of our passionate young soul, wasn't it a good explanation?"
Ryan said angrily, "You're lying! You knew Sissi had a boyfriend and a fiance at that time. She wasn't managing her relationships well! How could you still choose to get near to her and even had a child with her!"
"So what?" Apparently, Sawyer had a completely different world view from the others, "Sissi bestowed her virginity to me and had a baby with me. To me, she is the best girl in the world."
Ryan and Ruth could not believe what they have heard, even if Sissi gave him her first night, it was a fact that she was a fickle!
"Forget it, we came here today not to listen to your love for Sissi. We brought you this." Ryan sighed heavily, lowered his head, took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, and placed them in front of Sawyer.
"What is this?" Sawyer did not even bother to look at the documents.
Ryan glanced at Ruth, and she immediately responded, "Sawyer, you've been single for so many years, and Abner needed more care and love. So your father and I have brought you some information of the candidates. Why don't you take a look-"
Sawyer responded coldly, "Turns out this is your intention? Getting a stepmom for Abner?"
Sawyer did not even intend to take a look at the documents on the table, Ruth could not help but earnestly persuade him, "Sawyer, you aren't young anymore. Just come into contact with one! That way, your father and I can feel relieved."
Sawyer sat still said, "Forget it. Beside Sissi, I won't fall into another girl."
"Sissi, Sissi, she is not going to come back, do you want to be a widower?" Ryan said angrily.
Sawyer tried to cross the boundary carefully, "What if one day, she found herself not in love with Christian anymore and got divorced. She might come back to me. If that happened, what are your thoughts if I were to start our love story all over again?"
Ryan was in rage as soon as Sawyer finished his words, "I won't agree to anything about this
woman!"
Anran also expressed her rejection. "Mom won't agree forthat too."
Sawyer looked at them mockingly, "You guys kept saying that you want your son to relish happiness, but you've always refused to let him be with the woman he truly love. Don't you think you're all hypocritical?"
"What are you saying? We do this for your own good!"
"Yes, what's good in Sissi? Take a look at this girl I've shortlisted for you. The information says that she is good at art. Take a look at her photo too, how beautiful she is. I have spoke to this girl too, her voice was soft and tender. You will surely like her once you met her."
In face of Ruth firm stance, Sawyer changed his attitude. He took over the document in her hand and looked at the first girl.
"I've noticed that your words are very contradictory. If there is a team of your people watching Abner, why don't you call them and get them to send him back?" Ryan's face turned gloomy as he spoke. He was displeased and said, "It seems it you are trying to stop us from seeing Abner, are you?"
Even though his intention was exposed, Sawyer remain calm and said. "Yes, I just don't want you to see Abner. Who knows what you'll do to him?"
Ruth was exceptionally sad. "Sawyer, what do you mean by that? Abner is our grandson. What can we do to him?"
"Mom, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about him." Sawyer glared at Ryan said coldly, "You have too much hostility towards Sissi. When you heard that Abner was our child, you reacted even more furiously. What if you vent your anger on him?"
Ryan went completely mad. He scolded Sawyer furiously "I can look for Abner myself."
"As you wish." There were simply too many suites in Streams Villa. Even if Ryan and Ruth split up for their search, it would easily take them half a day.
When Ruth saw that Ryan was already out of breath before he could even start searching for Abner, she could not help but stand up and pat her husband on the chest as she said to her son, "Sawyer, you know that your father is in poor health. Can you stop triggering him?"
Sawyer's lips curled into a cold smile, "He was the one causing this to himself. I didn't ask him to do so."
"Wifey, don't stop me. I'm going to look for Abner today no matter what!" Ryan pulled his hand away from Ruth's grasp and walked to the second floor, leaving behind Ruth with helplessness and Sawyer's sneering.
After Sawyer saw Ruth was frowning, he sat up straight and poured two cups of tea and offered one to Ruth. "Mom, have some tea."
"You!" Ruth wanted to say something, but he interrupted her. "Mom, the weather is hot. You'd better talk less and rest."
Ruth did not know what what she need to do to persuade this boy, but she just could not stop herself, "Sawyer, no one in the world would ever want to hurt their son, it doesn't who is Abner's mother, your father and I will still love him as always. Listen to mom, be nice to your dad, don't hurt his feeling again, okay?"
Sawyer raised his teacup and said indifferently, "Who never feel hurt in this world? Besides, is there anyone ever want to be nice to me when I was hurt back then?"
Ruth's face turned livid once she heard this and she could not say a word.
A few minutes later, Ryan came down from the second floor. Looking at the questioning eyes of Ruth, he shook his head slightly, indicating that Abner was not in this villa.
