Chapter 315 He has the right to know
"I'm sorry, Uncle," the six little girls apologized sincerely once again.
However, upon hearing that this uncle hadn't washed his hair for over twenty years, they couldn't help but laugh.
Eldie asked, "Uncle, you haven't washed your hair for over twenty years. Doesn't your head itch?"
"It does, but I endure it," he replied.
Secondie then asked, "Is it because there is no shampoo where you live?"
"Yes," he confirmed.
Thirdie said, "Is there also no hair conditioner?"
"Yes," he confirmed once again.
Forthie was shocked, "Don't tell me you don't even have a water heater?"
"Yes," he replied.
Fifthie said, "Can't you go to the street and buy them?"
Owen pouted, "I live in a cave, where would I find a street?"
Sixie couldn't understand, "Uncle, since there's nothing there, why didn't you come back earlier? Our house has everything!"
"Sixie!" Ivy sternly glared at her, "Stop asking, all of you, stop asking and let Uncle rest."
Ivy was afraid that if the children kept asking, it would hurt Owen's feelings.
Sixie was unwilling and said, "But Uncle hasn't answered my question yet. Once he does, I won't ask anymore."
Tears welled up in Owen's eyes, "I...I thought I had no family, wuwu...I thought I was an unwanted wild monkey, wuwuwuwu..."
Unable to hold back any longer, Owen burst into tears.
Annabel felt heartbroken, "Owen, you've suffered so much. Come here and let Grandma will hug you..."
Owen cried and asked, "Are you my real grandma?"
Annabel nodded tearfully, "Yes, I am your real grandma, Annabel. Fiona, who kidnapped you, has been caught, and she will receive the punishment she deserves!"
"Grandma... wuwu... I never knew I had so many relatives..."
Owen threw himself into Annabel's arms and cried, "I thought... I thought I was an orphan without parents. I never grew any fur since I was young, and those monkeys always made fun of me. I felt so inferior..."
As Owen cried, he recounted his experiences. Towards the end, he began laughing.
"Grandma, am I stupid? I thought I was a monkey when I'm actually a human. I thought I was the ugliest monkey among them..."
"You're not stupid. Grandma's Owen is not stupid. Owen is the smartest one, Grandma's oldest son and grandson..."
Annabel held Owen tightly, tears streaming down her face.
"Grandma, don't cry. Your oldest son and grandson have returned safely," Owen raised his hand and used his sleeve to dry Annabel's tears.
Then, he asked everyone, "Where are my parents? Why haven't they come to see me? Do they not know that I've come back?"
As soon as he asked, everyone's expression turned sorrowful.
Thinking that he said something wrong, Owen hesitated, "Um, should I not call them 'parents'? Should I call them 'mom and dad' instead?"
Still, no one answered, and Owen felt a sense of unease.
"Ah, I see. It should be called 'dad and mommy'..."
Alexander wiped away the tears that were about to fall and embraced Owen. "Big brother, rest for now. It's getting late and there are some things I need to tell you tomorrow."
"Why do we have to wait till tomorrow to talk about it? Can't we talk about it today?" Owen pouted unhappily. "Why haven't mom and dad come to see me since I've been back? Do they not like me anymore?"
"How could they not love you?" Annabel, once again shedding tears, trembled as she spoke. "Owen, your mom and dad love you very, very much. They have put in a lot of effort and hard work to find you, but..."
"But what? Did they think I was dead and gave up on me?" Owen's eyes were filled with disappointment.
"No, it's not like that. They-"
Annabel, overwhelmed with tears, couldn't continue.
Ivy wiped away the tears from her face and said, "Alexander, tonight, you should sleep with your big brother and tell him everything. He has the right to know."
Then, facing Leo, she continued, "Leo, be prepared. If your big brother gives you trouble... let him vent..."
Leo's eyes welled up with tears. "I understand, I get it..."
