The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Merlin said awkwardly, "Aunt, to be honest, I haven't figured out how I'm going to go back and explain to my wife and daughter why I ended up disappearing after my daughter sent me a text message to tell me that she was pregnant..."

Having said that, he also wanted to distract Lady Acker's attention, so he asked Christian, "Christian, my wife should have looked for you, right? What did you tell her?"

Christian sneered twice and said, "What else could I say? I could only tell her that I was not sure either. Our benefactor specially instructed me not to tell your wife that you were dead but to tell her that you were missing or had eloped with another woman, but how could I have said that to her?"

Merlin sighed and said, "I'll also have to think about how I'm going to explain things to them when I go back. The two of them will probably always have some doubts if there is no relatively perfect explanation for this matter..."

Christian thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps you can say that you found a place to relax because you were not in a good mood after being forced to retire early?"

Merlin said embarrassedly, "That is too irresponsible. If my daughter hadn't told me that she was pregnant, I could still fool her by saying this, but the main point is that she told me that she was pregnant. She wouldn't believe that I would end up looking for a place to relax because I was in a bad mood after she had told me about such a big and happy event..."

Christian smacked his lips and said, "Well, you disappeared for so many days without news, and it was also at the point when your daughter had told you about her pregnancy. I'm afraid there's really no good solution if you don't tell them the truth..."

The rest of the Acker family members were also a little worried for a while. They also understood Merlin's family situation. His wife and daughter had lived apart from him all year round, and they had always been a little estranged.

What's more, he had suddenly disappeared at a critical point. At the same time, he could not tell his wife and daughter the truth. This was indeed a tricky situation, and there was basically almost no good solution to deal with this matter properly.

Merlin certainly would not be able to escape his wife and daughter's complaints when he got home.

Just as everyone was still worrying about this matter, Kathleen, who was aside, thought of something and said, "Chief Lammy, I have an idea. Why don't you see you can accept it?"

Merlin hurriedly said, "Miss Fox, you don't have to be so polite with me. Just

speak up if you have any good ideas. I will be grateful regardless of whether it will work out or not."

Kathleen said casually, "The Fox family's previous series of incidents caused by Homer is well-known to everyone, and the outside world also knows that the police have never been able to find out who killed those b*stards. You can just explain to your wife and daughter that I privately asked you to help me investigate this incident."

"However, I asked you to be absolutely confidential, and you could not notify them about this matter in advance. In addition, you had to remain silent because of me over the past few days, so you could not tell your family your whereabouts."

"You can also tell them that you have been very upset about this case as well, and you wanted to make up for this regret since you had such a good opportunity to join forces with the Fox family. If they don't trust you, I can also vouch for you and speak up on your behalf."

Merlin pondered for a moment and then nodded as he said, "This is a really good idea. The reasons, motivations, and details can all stand up to scrutiny."

With that said, Merlin sighed softly and said helplessly, "It's just that I used to have a bad relationship with my daughter because I was always so focused on work. We have similar personalities, and neither one of us can convince the other, so there has been something similar to a cold war between us for a long time."

"It wasn't until I was forced to retire and give up my identity as an Oskian detective that she finally took the initiative to comfort me and tell me the news of her pregnancy, hoping that I could return to my wife's and her side..."

“As a father, I too understand that my daughter also took the initiative to take a step down and put aside her temper and ego in order to comfort me..."

"If I were to go back and tell her that I ignored the initiative that she took and ignored the news of her pregnancy because I felt indignant and then disappeared for so many days to investigate the case, I'm afraid that she will be even more disappointed in me..."

Kathleen smiled slightly and said, "Actually, this problem is even easier to solve. You can say that you were originally going to refuse me when I asked for your help, but I offered you a substantial amount of money. You thought about how you were going to be @grandfather soon, so you were very happy at the same time. You really wanted to be able to create a better condition for her child, so you decided to earn the money first. In that case, your core motivation would be for the child who has not been born yet, and your second motivation would be to investigate the case at the same time. I believe that they will understand you then."

Having said that, Kathleen said again, "I will write you a cheque for ten million US dollars later. Hand the cheque to your daughter when you go back and explain the situation to them. Say that this is the reward that I paid you and ask her to accept it for the baby. I believe that she will be moved by your intentions as a future grandfather, then." noveldrama
