Holly nodded with understanding. “Oh, Liz does have to deal with many matters and is busy. But Carle,
I feel there are some things you should consider carefully.”
Carle looked at Holly in confusion. Then, he realized something and said, “I don’t care that she was
married to another man. Instead, I view it as a blessing that she is willing to be with me.”
Holly did not know what to say.
“If anyone gossips about us, I will show them how much I love Liz and how proud I am to marry her. It’s
never about whether Liz is worthy of me,” Carle replied in a gentle tone but was firm in his stance.
Seeing how deeply he loved Elisa, Holly felt even sadder for her son.
She could not resist a sigh and shook her head. “I wasn’t talking about that. Do I seem that old-
fashioned?”
Carle was puzzled. “Oh, what were you talking about then?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHolly sighed with resignation and said slowly, “I know about the matter between you and Liz. She feels
guilty about rejecting you previously and causing you to get involved in the car accident. That’s why
she kept apologizing to your father and me. But Carle, have you considered why she agreed to be with
you?”
Carle’s expression changed.
He looked at Holly and paused briefly before saying, “Mom, what are you trying to say?”
Carle’s mother had not said much after discovering that he and Elisa had gotten together. However, he
now noticed the conflicting emotions in her eyes.
Furthermore, she suddenly brought up Elisa and him.
Holly could not help but sigh. “I’m concerned about you. At the same time, I feel this matter is unfair to
both of you.”
Carle pursed his lips and remained silent. He knew what his mother wanted to say. Furthermore, he
had been feeling nervous and insecure these few days. He feared what he thought would become real.
If that happened, he did not know what he would do.
Holly noticed her son’s reaction and did not continue talking. She sighed helplessly.
Then, she saw that the maid working in the kitchen had finished cooking dinner. Thus, Holly patted her
son’s shoulder. “Let’s go have dinner first.”
She did not plan to talk further about the matter. Most of the time, it would be better not to reveal
everything at once because it would be too much for him.
Carle did not say anything but got up and headed to the washroom.
Edward had some matters to deal with and would be home late. Thus, Holly and Carle had dinner
together.
They talked about insignificant topics and did not return the matter from before.
However…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHolly’s words kept bothering Carle. Previously, he had considered the things she said. But now that she
mentioned it, it confirmed in his heart that something was wrong.
After dinner, Carle called Elisa.
She had just gotten off work.
Thus, she picked up the call quickly. “Carle?”
Carle gripped his phone and pursed his lips. “Have you had dinner?”
“Yes, I have. What about you?” Elisa’s voice was melodious, and her tone was no different from usual.
Somehow, Carle’s restless heart calmed slightly.
It seemed her voice comforted him.
“Did you meet with my mother recently?”
Elisa was driving. Her eyes flickered slightly upon hearing his question. “No, why?”
