Good acting

Ailina’s POV:

I didn’t move from my place, and stood there, looking at the drama unfolding in front of me.

“Dad, It was a sister who pushed my mother down. I just saw that Ailina reached out and pushed my mother.” Hallie said while crying

Then, she looked at me with provocation in her eyes and said, “Sister, why did you push my mother down? I know you don’t like her, but the child in her stomach is also your brother. How can you do this?”

Then, supporting Susan with one hand, Dad looked at me coldly and said, “Bastard! Get down here hurriedly! How can you still stand there as if it has nothing to do with you.”

Susan took Dad’s hand and said weekly, “Don’t blame her! Everything in the family, originally belong to her, but if there is another brother, he must share things. Is it reasonable that she doesn’t want his brother and I can understand her!”

At that moment, Ellie walked over with a hot water towel in her hand and wiped Susan's forehead with almost no sweat.

Hallie screamed beside her mother, pouring oil on the fire.

“Sister, you are so ruthless! He is your brother. How can you push my mother like this for the family property?”

Probably because Hallie and Susan were crying so loudly that it attracted Grandpa's attention as he walked out of his room holding the cane in his hand.

When he saw Susan lying on the ground with a pool of blood under her buttocks Grandpa's eyes narrowed as he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Hallie took the lead and said, “Grandpa, it was the sister who pushed my mother down from upstairs. The elder sister didn’t go home last night. My mother asked a few words as she also cared about her. But it seemed that it enraged sister and she pushed her down from upstairs.”

Susan and Hallie dare to take out the property as a gimmick in front of my father, but in front of Grandpa, they are afraid.

So, they picked up my thing about staying outside last night to be the excuse.

Grandpa is getting older. Even if he could accept a few new things, it was impossible to accept the fact that his granddaughter does not return home at night.

Sure enough, hearing this he frowned slightly and looked at me.

However, I looked at Grandpa calmly and smiled indifferently.

“You bastard! How can you still laugh at this moment?” Dad yelled at me angrily.

“George, send her to the hospital first and talk about other things later,” Grandpa said in a low voice.

Then, with a panicked look on his face, Dad bent down to hold Susan. “I will take you to the hospital!” he said.

However, Susan held his hand and said, “No, first you promise me that you don’t blame Ailina whether our child can be saved or not.”

“Susan why don’t you cherish your health so much?” Dad said with a heartache! His face is filled with anxiety.

Looking at the two lovebirds in front of me, I couldn’t help but laugh coldly.

“Susan, I heard that you played opera in your early years. I never thought you are addicted to acting and your acting skills are still good…”

Hearing my words, Susan looked at me with amazement.

However, hearing her amazement, I slowly walked downstairs.

“Have you ever heard about saying that you cannot hold a wolf if you are not willing to sacrifice your child? But at least you have to pregnant with a real child. Do you want to hold a wolf with a pillow?” I said with a smile.

As soon as I finished my word, I bent down and touched the pillow in her stomach!

Susan’s face changed as she reached out to hold her belly.

“Ailina, what are you doing? George, quickly take me to hospital. My stomach hurt!” She looked at Dad helplessly and said.

“Please take me to the city hospital in the East City where Dr. Carter has been taking care of me!” she added.

Dad looked at me with a fierce eye and he said coldly, “Let go of your aunt!”

What if she still fall?

Ailina’s POV:

Hearing my father's words, I sneered and pulled out the pillow from Susan’s skirt.

As soon as I took out the pillow, the noisy living room became utterly quiet. Everyone stood there in shock and disbelief, not moving for a long time.

“Dad, here is your so-called son! Take care of her!” I sneered, throwing a pillow in my father’s arms.

Looking at the pillow in my dad’s hand, Susan's face became pale. Then, covering her face, she cried.

“George, I just want to be with you and want Hallie call you dad rightfully. I just want her to recognize her ancestors. Honey, I have been with you for twenty years and Hallie is almost twenty years old. However, she still didn’t have a clear identity, and she is still laughed outside…”

“Even though… you still didn’t do such a thing…” He said, clenching the pillow in his hands.

Seeing this, Susan shook her head and wept, as if she regretted it and tangled.

“I can’t help it… I really can’t help it. I feel sorry for Hallie! She is so poor…”

“Dad, I also don’t want to called bastard… who have mother but no father…” Hallie held her mother and cried.

Seeing mother and daughter crying so hard, I must admit that they know my father so well that they could control his emotions and actions so well…

Sure enough, seeing mother and daughter pair crying like this and hearing their so-called heartfelt words, he quickly embraced them, saying, “I am sorry… I am sorry… it’s all my fault! I didn’t do my duty as a father…”

Seeing their so-called family drama, I felt bored and decided to go upstairs to have some rest.

However, before I could even take a single step, my father shouted, “Where are you going?”

I turned around to look at them.

“I am tired and didn’t want to watch your father and daughter reunion show, so I am going to my room!” I said.

“Even if your aunt is not pregnant, it didn’t give you the right to push her from such a high staircase. Do you even know how serious it could have been? Your aunt is always so good to you, how can you treat her like this! Quickly, apologize to her!” He scolded.

I sneered. “Apologize?”

Then, I pulled out my phone, opened the video, and placed it on the table, saying, “Dad, please see carefully how she fell from the stairs. Don’t try to cover her fake pregnancy with my pushing her down!”

Saying that, I left upstairs.

This video had already recorded how Susan fell from the stairs.

As I went upstairs, I could hear Grandpa knocking his cane on the floor and my father making excuses for Susan…

After I went back to my room, I could no longer hear their words.

After all, Susan had so many excuses and with my father believing her for so many years, I can’t change his opinion overnight.

Sure enough, in the evening he knocked on my door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw him standing at the door of my room, holding a bowl of soup in his hands, with his face filled with a rare kindness.

“Ailina, why haven’t you slept yet? What are you doing?” he asked.

I was browsing my computer when he knocked on my door, so when he asked that question, turned my laptop to him.

However, he casually glanced at it and said, “Ailina, here drink some soup! Your Aunt Susan has especially prepared it for you!”

I didn’t want to quarrel with him, so I took the soup from her. After all, he is my father. Even though he is a bit stupid, he is not bad.

After taking a sip of the soup, I looked at him and said, “Dad, please thank Aunt on my behalf!”

Hearing that, he smiled and said, “Ailina, I am sorry for today! I have misunderstood you!”

However, I just smiled and didn’t say anything.

“Ailina, please don’t blame your Aunt for what happened today! It’s just that when she fell down in panic was and became a little confused, thinking that you pushed her down. She didn’t mean to hurt you intentionally!”

“Oh!” I said dumbly, bowed my head, taking another sip of the soup in my hand.

Dad sighed and said, “Ailina, I know you have been wrong today, however why didn’t you reached out to hold her hand. If you held her, she didn’t fell down, you wouldn’t have been wronged and…”

“And no one know about Aunt Susan’s fake pregnancy and you would been able to marry her, right?” I said calmly, interrupting his words.

He didn’t seem to expect me to see through him as he coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.

“You’re aunt has been living under our roof all these years, and has been taking care all of us tirelessly, without any identity. She just wants to have a family with me.” he said.

“Dad, the reason I didn’t reached out to hold Aunt’s hand to avoid any misunderstanding. If aunt still fell down, then it could have been conclusive that I did push her down, right?” I said lightly.

“As long as you reach for her, how could she fell?”

“What if Aunt Susan has to fall today?”

“How is this possible?” He said, shaking his head.

“Why not? If…”

“Okay, drop it for now. This is the end of the story and the past things will not be said.”

Have you ever loved my mother?

Ailina’s POV:

I wanted to talk about this matter with Dad. But apparently, he was not in the mood to listen to my explanation. It seemed that he had come here to talk about something else.

As expected, he sighed, saying, “Ailina, your mother has passed away for several years and I have been single for a long time now. I am old and need a company. Aunt Susan and I can get along with each other. Well, we want to get married, but your grandfather has disagreed with us all along. Ailina, Grandfather always takes your advice. Would you please help me to persuade him?”

Hearing his words, I looked up at him. “Dad, have you ever loved my mother?” I asked.

“How can I know what love is at that age? I just want to get along with your aunt.” He said, frowning.

Hearing that I could not help but laugh. “Dad, Hallie is only one year younger than me. Is she your biological daughter too?”

“Why do you say that?” He asked. His face clouded as he coughed softly.

‘Why? Of course, because Susan is an unpromising mistress!

As mom has gone, I had to guard her home for her. Now that mistress has entered the house I a, not able to drive them out yet. But one day I must drive Hallie and Susan away!

But of course, I could not say this to my father now.

After I drank the whole soup, I said weakly, “Dad, I mean, it’s only been a few years since Mom died, but Hallie is just one year younger than me. You are an adult’s affairs are so complicated that I can’t understand it and control it. Dad, you had better ask grandpa.”

Saying that I handed the empty ball to him, smiling innocently.

George POV:

Hearing her words, my face turned red, and I suddenly felt flustered. I felt that there was something else in her words.

However, if she had blamed me straightforwardly, I could still use my majesty to scare her, but with her words, there was nothing I could do about it.

I took a bowl and coughed unnaturally.

“Ailina go to bed early. Don’t play on the computer too late!”

Then, I took the empty bowl and walked out of her room.

Standing in front of her pink and tender room’s door, I signed. I didn’t know why, but I felt that my daughter had suddenly grown up.

I feel estranged and depressed while talking with her.

When I return to my bedroom, Susan has been waiting for me.

As soon as she saw me, she asked, “How’s it going? What did Ailina say?”

“I think she has changed. She seemed to understand everything in her mind. Oh, she knows that Hallie is our child.” I said, frowning.

“Did she blame you?” She asked.

I shook my head, “No, but there must be something wrong in her heart. She wouldn’t help us!”

The next morning, seeing Ailina coming downstairs, Susan walked over enthusiastically, saying, “Ailina, today I made your favorite sandwich. Come and eat.”

Ailina smiled slightly and sat down.

Seeing that Susan busily bought a sandwich for her and poured her a glass of juice.

“Thank you!” she said politely.

Then, Susan quickly picked another egg and handed it to her. “Here it is. Ailina, eat an egg to supplement your nutrition.”

“Thank you, Aunt!”

Ailina had a faint expression on her face.

Seeing this, Susan took a deep breath and said, “Ailina, I fell downstairs yesterday. It was really scary. I didn’t see it clearly and misunderstood you.”

Ailina finished eating the egg as her lips curled up in a smile.

“Aunt, the point is not getting me wrong, but the pillow under your clothes!” she said.

“Ailina, I was helpless. Your grandpa didn’t agree with me and your father, so I took an unwise step….” Susan said, sobbing.

“Aunt, you don’t have to explain to me. You should explain to Dad and grandpa. After all, you are not pregnant with my son or my grandson.” Ailina said as she stood up.

To be honest, there was nothing wrong with Ailina’s words, but it was unpleasant to hear. I frowned. “How could you talk to your aunt like that? What's son or grandson?”

She smiled sweetly. “Dad, you have been taking care of your unborn son for several months, and suddenly it turned into a pillow. Didn’t you feel furious? Well, I do not expect that my dad is so open-minded.”

“Ailina…” I shouted. My face turned red with anger, but I could not contradict her.

“I have finished. Help yourself!” Saying that she went upstairs.
