Son Throws His Father Out of His Own House — Unaware He Was Adopted
He thought of the first bicycle his father bought him when he was seven. He remembered coming home in tears after bullies mocked him and Mr. Maxwell holding him tight, saying, “Don’t cry, son. You’re special.” He also recalled his first heartbreak and Mr. Maxwell comforting him. “You will find true love one day.” Tears ran down Kelvin’s cheeks. “What have I done?” he whispered. “He gave me everything and I gave him pain.” Just then, Angela appeared wearing a short red gown and long lashes. She looked at him sharply.
“Wait, what’s this? Don’t tell me you’re emotional over that old man.” Kelvin’s voice rose in anger. “Don’t call him that. Don’t you ever call him that again.” Angela stepped back. “You’re scaring me,” she said nervously. Kelvin stepped out of the car and faced her.
His voice shook with pain. “You ruined me, Angela. You turned me against the man who gave me life. You made me believe he was a burden. You made me insult him in his old age.” Angela laughed awkwardly. Kelvin, calm down.
You’re still his son. You still have everything. Kelvin shouted. No, I’m not his biological son. He adopted me. I just found out the truth. I am not his real son. Angela froze. Her eyes widened. What you mean you were adopted?
Kelvin nodded slowly, tears in his eyes.
Yes. And I treated the man who saved me like trash. Angela’s tone changed instantly. So this house, the cars, the company, they are not even yours by right. Kelvin looked at her sharply.
That’s all you care about, isn’t it? Not my pain, not my regret, just money and power. Angela tried to touch him. No, baby. I care about you. Shut up, Kelvin shouted. Angela, leave me alone. Later that day, Mr. Maxwell returned home. He said nothing to anyone as he went straight to his room. He picked up his phone and called his lawyer. Prepare my will. Come and read it today. I want everyone present. By evening, the living room was full. The air was heavy. Kelvin sat quietly, his face swollen from tears. Angela sat beside him, rolling her eyes and whispering, “Relax. You know everything will be yours. Rose stood quietly near the pillar, not knowing why she had been called. The lawyer, an elderly man with glasses, walked in carrying a brown envelope.
Good evening, Mr. Maxwell has asked me to read his will. He cleared his throat.
This will was signed and sealed 2 months ago. Everyone leaned in. The mansion, this property you are seated in, shall be inherited by Miss Rose. What? Angela screamed. Kelvin’s mouth fell open. The lawyer continued firmly, ignoring them.
Miss Rose will also become the new CEO of Mr. Maxwell’s company with full power to run its daily operations. All other assets, vehicles, foreign accounts, stocks, and estates shall be donated back to Evergreen Care Home Orphanage.
Rose gasped, covering her mouth in shock. Kelvin’s head spun. He stood up slowly. What? What are you saying? You mean I get nothing? His voice cracked as he began to sobb. Angela turned to him in disbelief. Wait, so you didn’t inherit anything? The lawyer calmly packed his files. The reading of the will is complete. My work here is done.
The room was heavy with shock and sorrow. From this emotional story, we understand that parents are treasures who should never be disrespected. Mr.
Maxwell gave his all, yet his son forgot the love and sacrifice that raised him.
Gratitude is greater than wealth, and anyone who forgets the hands that lifted them will one day regret it. If you were in Mr. Maxwell’s shoes, would you forgive Kelving?
