Chapter 875
Elise looked forward to seeing Chuck again. She had already thought about how to comfort Chuck! In fact, she also wanted to bring Chuck to the bar for a drink. Through that, she could relieve Chuck’s sorrow of losing his mother!
However, things didn’t go as planned. She had never expected that she would see her mother and Chuck wrapped in an embrace! At the sight of it, Elise felt as if the sky was about to fall on her! She really liked Chuck! She knew it very well! However… Did her mother like Chuck too?
”Elise!” cried Sophia. Her face was a white sheet of shock!. She had been worrying about that matter since the moment she had fallen for Chuck. Would her daughter discover her love for Chuck? Sophia was very afraid! She feared that she would hurt Elise! Unfortunately, her fear turned to reality. On that very day, that unimaginable scene unfolded before her. In that instant, their eyes locked together! Sophia was terrified!
”Mom, I… I’m sorry to disturb you.” With that, Elise ran out crying.
”Elise!” Sophia’s heart ached. Why did she hug Chuck?
”Sophia, let me go after her.” Chuck sighed. He had come to ask Sophia for a favor. To his surprise, things evolved in such a manner.
”Chuck, you must bring Elise back. Please, I’m begging you. I’m too ashamed to see her!” Sophia’s eyes were brimming with tears. She used to be a charming woman! But at that moment, she was a woman who wanted to die!
”Don’t worry!” No matter how fast Elise was running, she was no match for Chuck! Chuck went and chased after her!
”Elise, I’m sorry,” Sophia said as she burst into tears silently.
There was a loud roar of the engine outside the house. Elise was leaving in a vehicle! Everyone in the household was stunned! What was going on? they wondered. Following her example. Chuck got into his own car and chased after Elise! After Chuck’s strength had improved, he became bold yet cautious. He was also good at driving! He was comparable to a professional racer! In retrospect, he had been so afraid to drive at a high speed when he had first driven the first car he had purchased. How time flies!
The engine of his car hummed loudly. Chuck floored the accelerator, causing the engine to roar! He was almost there! The roaring of the engine only grew louder as he approached Elise’s car. Suddenly, Chuck drifted to the front of Elise’s car! Elise was tempted to collide with his car. However, she stepped on the brakes! Her face was ashen.
”Let’s have a chat,” Chuck said as he got out of his car.
”No, I don’t want to talk to you.” Elise refused. Her beautiful face was stained with many tears! She couldn’t accept that the person she liked was actually… Although her mother had been divorced for ten years, that was not going to work!
”Don’t you want to know what happened?” Chuck asked calmly.
”No, I know you are in a relationship with my mom. I don’t want to know anything else. And if I didn’t see it today, how long are you going to hide it from me? How long do you want to hide it from me? I really like…” Elise cried bitterly.
”Let’s have a chat. I’ll wait for you over there.” Chuck nonchalantly headed over in the direction he had pointed.
It was a sunny day. Around them, there was no one, only trees and grass! It hadn’t been like that for a long time. Recently, Chuck was pondering what would have happened if his mother hadn’t called him in the past. What if she hadn’t given him five million dollars? Would Chuck rather have his life to be a mess as it had been in the past? He wondered if his mother was alive. Nonetheless, Chuck’s heart was calm and still.
Meanwhile, Elise had been crying for a while. Watching Chuck sitting there alone, she suddenly remembered that Chuck’s mother had died recently. Therefore, Elise suppressed her tears and got out of the car. She sat next to Chuck.
As the two of them enjoyed the breeze, Chuck handed her a tissue. ”Don’t cry.”
”I don’t want to! Tell me! When did you start going out with my mom…” Elise was fuming.
”If I tell you that it’s something that I didn’t expect, will you believe me?” Chuck recalled what happened that day.
”I won’t!” Elise stubbornly refused to believe!
”Then do you believe your mother? Do you not trust your mother at all?”
”I… I believe her, but, regarding this matter, I can’t trust her.” Once again, Elise burst into tears.
”That day, she went to see the Oatker family and drank a glass of wine. You know what type of wine that was. Later on, I discovered her by accident. I took her with me to send her to the hospital, but…” Chuck began to explain.
”But what?” Elise asked in exasperation. What? How could the Oatker family do such a thing?
”Maybe she couldn’t control herself. I know I couldn’t restrain myself. Then, it happened when she and I didn’t expect it,” Chuck said.
Elise was stunned to hear that. ”That’s it?”
”Yes, that’s it. What do you think? Did you think I forced myself on her?” Chuck shrugged his shoulders.
”No, I…” The truth was that she had thought so. After all, Sophia had been single for so long. Elise simply did not believe that Chuck had managed to attract her. However, when Chuck revealed the truth to her, she suddenly felt sad. She didn’t know about it until then! Her mother had encountered such a thing at that time! If Chuck didn’t show up, how desperate would Sophia have been? Elise did not dare to think about it!
”Why didn’t she tell me?”
”How could she?” Chuck said with a shrug. Sophia adored Elise. Therefore, how could she say it? There was no way she could bring herself to tell her! No one in her position would do that.
”Then you started to like her because of that, didn’t you?” Elise asked. Her hands had become clammy with sweat.
