Chapter 544: I Would Betray Everyone but Never You
If he has to give a reason, it's mainly his strong gut feeling. But to be fair, he does have some basis for it.
"When we interrogated Stuart earlier, he voluntarily confessed to something. He said that the person behind him was part of an organization, and everyone in it had a tiger head tattoo. He saw this tattoo on Tommy's arm."
"Tommy has a tiger head tattoo on his arm?" Stellan fell into deep thought upon hearing this. As Tommy mentioned, it was summer when he arrived at Nexus Innovations, and his arms were exposed.
There was an incident at the construction site earlier, and she was slapped. At that time, Tommy applied a cold compress for her. She didn't observe closely, but if he had a tiger head tattoo on his arm, it should have been very obvious.
"He doesn't have a tattoo on his arm, right? He stayed at Nexus Innovations for so many days, and I didn't see any tattoo on his arm." Stellan spoke.
"Right, he indeed doesn't have any tattoos on his arm now. Neil and I have already checked. It's weird because we checked and found nothing. If he really doesn't have a tattoo, how could Stuart be so certain? Stuart even said that Tommy had shown him the tattoo voluntarily. I don't think Stuart was lying."
Hearing Alaric say this, Stellan felt a bit confused. Tommy clearly didn't have a tattoo, but Stuart was so sure he did. What was going on?
"There are too many suspicious points about Tommy, so I can't be at ease. But Gillian is so determined. If I interfere any more, others will think I have ulterior motives. Forget it, I can't be bothered."
"Yes, especially now that she's in the honeymoon phase. She can't get enough of being with Tommy every day. If someone tries to break them up now, she definitely won't be rational."
Alaric remained silent, then sighed, "Let's not talk about them anymore. I'll take you out for a walk."
"Okay."
Maybe it was because of her good mood these past two days, but Stellan's morning sickness had eased a lot. She felt much more comfortable and wanted to move around more.
Tommy had just left The Knight Mansion with Gillian when his phone rang. It was Thomas calling.
"Mr. Emberlyn, don't worry. I've found Gillian," Tommy quickly explained. "She was in a bad mood after being slapped and wanted to go out for a walk. I'll persuade her and bring her home soon."
"Alright, I'll wait for you."
Thomas wanted to go after them, but he was so angry that he felt dizzy. He had to rest on the sofa for a while to recover.
After putting down the phone, Tommy gently cooed to Gillian, "Gillian, let's go home? Mr. Emberlyn is really worried about you."
Gillian immediately hugged Tommy, looking at him with a sense of grievance.
"Tommy, you're so excellent and outstanding. Why doesn't Alaric like you? Why is my dad also trying to stop us? Tommy, I really love you. I want to marry you. I want to have your children. Tell me, do you love me as much as I love you? Will you never betray me, okay?"
Tommy was about to say something when Gillian quickly covered his mouth and added, "I've given you all my love and my body, without any reservation. If it turns out that, as Alaric said, you don't truly love me, I will be heartbroken and lose my dignity in front of him. So please don't lie to me, okay? Always treat me as well as you do now, okay?"
"Okay," Tommy repllied firmly and seriously. "Even if I betray everyone else, I will never betray you. Otherwise, let me pay with my life."
Hearing this, Gillian felt very reassured and couldn't help but kiss him on the lips.
"I knew I wasn't wrong," Gillian then warned him, "So now that we are in love, we can't let anyone break us apart. You can't be like those people on TV who leave when my dad secretly asks you to. If you do that, I will really go on a hunger strike!"
"Don't worry, I won't."
"That's good." Gillian was very happy to hear his promise. "Let's go home and fight against my dad's stubborn ideas to the end!"
With that, Gillian decided to go home.
Thomas had been waiting at home. He deeply regretted slapping Gillian. He had never hit her before, but he couldn't hold back earlier.
Now that they saw each other, the atmosphere was quite awkward.
"Dad," Gillian was the first to speak. "I already talked to Alaric. He won't interfere in my relationship with Tommy anymore. But you're different from him. You're my dad, my only family now.
I should have told you about my relationship first, but it developed so quickly that I was afraid of scaring you, so I wanted to take it step by step.
Since you know now, it's good. You would have found out sooner or later. What I said wasn't a threat. I've found true love now. I want to marry Tommy. I hope you can give us your blessing!"
"What if I don't? Are you planning to sever our father-daughter relationship?" Thomas asked.
Gillian bit her lip, paused, and then replied, "No, I just wouldn't be able to live."
Isn't that still a threat to die?
"Mr. Emberlyn..."
Tommy was about to speak, but Thomas immediately interrupted, "Don't talk. You don't have the right to speak yet."
"Yes," Tommy quickly shut his mouth.
"Gillian, come with me," Thomas spoke to Gillian. She had no choice but to follow him into the study and close the door.
"Don't try to brainwash me. It won't work. I said I only love him!" Gillian answered firmly.
"Putting aside the fact that you hid living with Tommy from me, do you think you two are a good match?"
"Why not? Why aren't we suitable?" Gillian got angry immediately upon hearing the doubt. "Tommy and I are the perfect match. Why aren't we suitable?"
Seeing Gillian like this, she had indeed lost her rationality and couldn't listen to anyone else.
"He's a cop, and a detective at that. He'll be away on missions a lot in the future. With your inability to endure loneliness, can you handle it if you have a child? Love is love, and life is life. They are two different things!"
