Chapter 100 Self-Deception
But then a rush of cell phone ringing interrupted her explanation. Alena Wright looked down and saw that the caller ID was Alfred Gray's name.
"Darcy Harrington, you go back first, I'll have to take this call," she said in a hurry and walked into a corner.
"Hey, Dad!"
Alfred Gray had never looked to her regularly, and Alena Wright was a little worried about whether something had happened.
An angry laugh came from the other end of the phone, "Alena Wright, today is your birthday, and Dad had not yet sent you birthday wishes."
After living in the Gray family for so long, Alfred Gray had cared for her the most and always gave her warmth in her heart.
Alena Wright smiled unconsciously and said, "Thank you, Dad, you remembering my birthday is the best blessing."
It's not easy for Alfred Gray to feel sorry for her, so he smiled warmly, "A family should look over their family. Today is your birthday. Go home and have a meal with my old man."
He also called back Waylon Gray's to accompany Alena Wright on his birthday and gave him a chance to coax his wife.
Alena Wright wanted to go but she couldn't, "Dad, I'm out celebrating with my friends now, so I can't go back temporarily."
"Okay," Alfred Gray was a little disappointed, and his plan fell through once again.
However, he was not the kind of stubborn person who would never give up unless he achieved his goals.
As long as Alena Wright was happy, he immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as someone is with you to celebrate your day so I'm relieved."
"Thank you, Dad, I'll see you again another day," Alena Wright said.
"Good, good," Alfred Gray continued to say well and took a sip from his coffee, then said again, "But today is your birthday. Dad prepared a birthday present for you. Aunt Jane also prepared some food, and I asked Waylon Gray to get them and give them to you."
In that way, Waylon Gray could also accompany Amanda Quinston on her birthday, he thought that he was so smart to have thought of it.
As he thought about Alena Wright's birthday that day and that Waylon Gray didn't say anything, his tone suddenly became dissatisfied, "I don't know what this kid is doing every day, no one had seen him all day long!"
Of course, he was busy teasing your daughter-in-law, Alena Wright thought to herself.
However, Alena Wright did not dare to say that in front of Alfred Gray. After all, their current situation was complicated, and it might not be a good thing to let Alfred Gray know.
Alfred Gray seemed to understand her silence as a different meaning, and patted his chest to promise, "Alena Wright, don't worry, I will let Waylon Gray go to accompany you on your birthday."
Alena Wright was still for two seconds before she reacted. Alfred Gray thought she was worried that Waylon Gray would not come over, so she hurriedly said, "There's no need."
As she refused, she was interrupted by their father, "Alena Wright, Dad knows that you have suffered a lot of wrongs, and I will definitely compensate you well in the future."
Alena Wright thought of her current relationship with Waylon Gray, and said, "Dad, those are all gone, and they are all in the past."
At least at that time, Waylon Gray seemed to like her.
"Look at me, I am always confused and say something that shouldn't be said," Alfred Gray said and was also a little upset.
Even just by the phone, Alena Wright seemed to be able to see the annoyed and distressed look of Alfred Gray.
"It's okay dad, I don't care anymore about the past," Alena Wright said optimistically.
At that time, she got what she wanted.
"Well, it's best if you can think like this," Alfred Gray sighed, and their topic returned to the original point, "That's it, I'll call Waylon Gray to send you things, and you two can get together."
"No need, Dad!" Alena Wright quickly refused.
She was not yet ready to confess to Waylon Gray, so she must not let Alfred Gray do bad things with good intentions.
"Why not?" Alfred Gray thought Alena Wright had taken care of it, and immediately issued a military order, "Today is your birthday, so I have to ask Waylon Gray to accompany you."
He also thought of his son's temper, and snorted from his nose, "If he dares not to go, I will break his legs!"
Alena Wright was speechless.
It's not that she doesn't know that Alfred Gray was very stubborn. But she was afraid that Alfred Gray would really call Waylon Gray, so she hesitated twice and decided to tell the truth. She said, "Dad, I'm actually with Waylon Gray right now, so you really don't have to look for him anymore."
"Are you with this bastard?" Because he was so surprised, Alfred Gray's voice rose a little, "Alena Wright, are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, Dad," Alena Wright nodded, "How could I lie to you?"
Alfred Gray on the other end of the phone thought of what his friends had said that Waylon Gray could take Alena Wright to the auction. So it seemed that it was not impossible to accompany her on her birthday.
"That's good," Alfred Gray laughed from ear to ear, "Alena Wright, then you guys have fun together."
Alena Wright was embarrassed as she felt that his words seemed to have a point.
She thought that maybe it was because of him doing wrong things to her that made Alfred Gray think of it the wrong way too.
But in any case, it was a good thing to reject Alfred Gray. If she revealed her stuff that night, she might not be able to survive.
Alena Wright was still a little worried, so she thought for a while and said, "Dad, you also know how awkward Waylon Gray's temper is, right? He had a bad impression of me before, and the relationship between the two of us has only just eased up."
Alfred Gray nodded repeatedly, "I understand, don't worry, Dad will never hold you back!"
Alfred Gray smiled, as long as Alena Wright and Waylon Gray get along well, he wouldn't even get involved between the two of them.
"Since the two of you are together, then I won't bother you. But take time to go back to the old house and accompany this old man when you have time," Alfred Gray said.
He was just worried that he would disturb the communication between his son and daughter-in-law. As he felt that, he immediately hung up the phone, and didn't even have a chance to speak to Alena Wright again.
She stood in place for a while, Alena Wright laughed blankly, put her phone away, and turned to walk away.
Not far after she had walked, Darcy Harrington stopped and waited for her.
Alena Wright hurried over and raised her eyebrows suspiciously, "Darcy Harrington, why are you still standing here?"
The time she talked with Alfred Gray was neither long nor short. The summer weather was hot, and it was still hot even at night.
She thought Darcy Harrington had returned to the room long ago.
"Who were you talking to just now?" Darcy Harrington looked at her, the light ridicule in the corner of her eyes was covered by moonlight.
Alena Wright didn't know how much she heard because she didn't pay attention to it during the call a while ago. But she remembered that she mentioned Waylon Gray's name several times.
When you tell the first lie, you must use a hundred lies to justify it.
