Chapter 129 Chapter 129
After a moment of silence, she also took Edward's mother's hand and smiled slightly.
“Auntie, if you miss me in the future, we can arrange to meet somewhere.”
Edward's mother also remained silent, and naturally understood what Caroline meant. In the future, Caroline would probably no longer come to their house, and if they wanted to meet, they would have to meet outdoors.
Although regretful and disappointed, Edward's mother still understood her approach.
"Auntie, I've said everything I had to say. I still have things to do, so I'll leave first so as not to bother you.
If there's nothing else, then... I'll leave first.
Edward's mother did not insist that she stay, however reluctant she was.
“Since you're busy, I won't keep you. I'll ask one of the servants to take you back.” She nodded and said, with tears in her eyes, “No need.” Caroline shook her head.
“I came with a friend, I'll take his car.”
“Okay, then at least I can send you off, right?” Edward's mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and pulled her hand to help her out.
Caroline couldn't refuse again, so she nodded and turned to leave with Edward's mother.
Behind them, Claire saw this scene and was furious.
What was so great about that little bitch Caroline? Why did Edward's mother like her so much?
Seeing Edward's mother's attitude toward Caroline and comparing it to the treatment she herself received, Claire's blood boiled and she began to foam at the mouth.
She had already told them about her pregnancy, and thought that Edward's mother would give in now that she had Cassano blood running through her veins, but to everyone's surprise, that damn old woman still opposed her marriage to Edward, even saying that she would only recognize Caroline as her daughter-in-law.
“Edward, did I do something wrong? Or say something wrong?” Clenching her fingers and looking down, Claire quickly hid her resentful gaze. When she looked up again, her delicacy and beauty had returned.
Edward couldn't help feeling anxious as he watched Caroline leave.
“What could you have done wrong? Or said?” Looking at her, he said mechanically.
“Your mother is very fond of my sister and only wants her as her daughter-in-law. Maybe I shouldn't have come between you and my sister. If it weren't for me, you two would already be married.” Claire bit her lip and a mist formed in her eyes.
“Don't think too much about it, because my mother just can't accept our relationship right now. Just give her some time, and with the grandchild now, she'll accept you sooner or later.” Caroline had gone further and further away and was even about to leave the hall.
Edward couldn't take it anymore and stood up abruptly.
“Edward, you...” Claire looked at him in surprise.
“Wait for me here, I'll be right back!” Without further explanation, he rushed after her.
Sitting on the sofa, Claire was stunned for a few seconds. When she realized that Edward was chasing after Caroline, her expression turned ugly.
...
“Caroline, don't worry, I won't agree to Edward staying with your sister.” After accompanying her to the gate, Edward's mother looked at her reluctantly, holding her hand without letting go, her eyes full of regret, and said with red eyes. “I really want to open that bastard's head and see what's going on in his mind.” You're so good, how could he...
“Auntie, don't be sad.” Caroline didn't know what to say, and turned and looked through the door toward the black Rolls Royce, still parked under a tree across the street, and thinking of the two people across the street, she was silent for a moment before sighing softly. “Auntie, I'm leaving.”
Edward's mother was reluctant, but in the end she didn't stop her.
“Take care of yourself and let me know if you run into any trouble.” She nodded with red eyes and said with a trembling voice, “Even though you and Edward are over, you will never be a stranger to me.”
“Thank you for that!” Caroline's eyes glistened red, for Edward's mother had been very good to her.
If Edward hadn't betrayed her, and if they had actually gotten married, she would have been incredibly happy to have a mother-in-law like Edward's mother.
“Carol?” As soon as she took a step forward, she heard a very unpleasant voice calling her from behind, and frowning, she initially wanted to ignore him, but she didn't want him to follow her. As soon as she walked out the door of the Cassano family home, Edward caught up with her and stopped in front of her, blocking her path.
“Caroline, let's talk.”
“Get out of my way!” Caroline raised her eyes and gave him a cold stare.
“Caroline, can we talk? I need to tell you something.” Edward didn't move and just stared at the girl in front of him. He said in a tense voice.
“I have nothing to talk to you about, Edward!” Caroline said with disgust, in a cold voice.
Edward felt very hurt by her indifference and the disgust in her eyes, and Caroline was now a hedgehog covered in thorns.
She refused to communicate with him and was more indifferent and distant from him than she was from strangers.
Edward wasn't used to this and found it very difficult to accept, and he began to miss the sweet and adorable girl from the past.
“Caroline, don't be like that.” Edward looked very hurt. “I know I disappointed you, and I even thought about making it up to you. But you're not willing to give me a chance. Tell me, what can I do to make you forgive me?”
Caroline didn't expect Edward to have the audacity to say such things.
Did he still want her forgiveness? How insensitive was he to utter such shameful words?
He was so brazen that even Edward's mother couldn't take it anymore.
Stepping forward, Edward's mother simply slapped him on the head.
“You bastard. After everything you've done, you still have the nerve to ask Caroline for forgiveness? Go back and don't come back to embarrass yourself again!”
