His Coy Lover

At Zelda’s home.

Why did Charles go to The Roscente?

Originally, he planned to go to The Roscente to pick up Zelda. However, after Zelda’s car accident, he changed his mind and went to report!

At this moment, he sat in a wheelchair, facing Chris.

Elle had always been afraid of Charles, lacking the courage to face him directly. She thought of escaping upstairs.

“Elle.”

She turned around, stealing a glance at Charles.

This man was indeed very handsome, but his heart was too ruthless.

Just like The Lowell and The Winston, who had some minor business dealings and were usually at peace. Suddenly, The Winston made a move, and Lowell found himself in a crisis without even catching a breath.

“Charles.”

Elle was respectful. On the surface, you couldn’t tell that she feared Charles.

“I want to discuss a serious matter with Chris. It’s not convenient for a third person to hear. Please excuse yourself.”

Elle looked at Chris and quickly said, “Alright.”

She then said to Chris, “Mom, I’ll go to the hospital to take care of her.”

“Okay, be careful on the way.”

Chris calmly reminded Elle.

Elle left, and Charles’s bodyguards followed right behind.

Chris always felt that they weren’t avoiding but guarding the entrance to prevent others from entering.

“Mom.”

Charles spoke in a low voice.

That “mom” made Chris’s heart skip a beat.

She truly wasn’t used to being called “mom” by Charles.

On the surface, Chris showed a loving smile and gently asked, “Charles, what do you want to discuss with me?”

“Mom, Zelda had a car accident.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“What?”

Chris’s smile instantly disappeared. She stood up abruptly, her face showing panic and concern as she urgently asked, “Where did Zelda have the accident? How is she?”

“Mom, don’t worry. Zelda is fine. It’s just that the car is damaged. She insisted on going to the airport to pick up a friend, so I arranged for Monday to take her to the airport.”

Hearing that it was just the car that was damaged and Zelda was unharmed, Chris sat back on the sofa, patting her chest, and said, “You scared me. Thank goodness she’s okay.”

The car was damaged, but they could easily replace it with a new one.

They had several luxury cars in the garage.

“What about the others? Was anyone injured? How severe are the injuries?”

Charles pursed his lips before saying, “Quite severe.”

Chris breathed a sigh of relief again.

Fortunately, it didn’t involve a fatal accident.

“Mom, do you know how good Zelda’s driving skills are?”

“It’s pretty good. I’ve ridden in her car before, and she drives very steadily.”

Charles fell into silence.

“Well, maybe it’s just my imagination. But the person who was speeding last time was indeed her. And today, the person who treated the car like an airplane was also her. If she didn’t drive fast, she wouldn’t have almost collided with my car, let alone hit the roadside green tree while trying to avoid it.”

Chris…

After a while, Chris cautiously asked, “Charles, what’s your intention?”

“Reporting.”

“Reporting?”

“Mom, don’t let Zelda drive alone in the future. She isn’t as stable as you think. She likes to speed. Watching her drive is enough to give people a heart attack.”

Chris’s expression changed suddenly.

“Charles, I’ll listen to you. From now on, when Zelda comes back, I won’t let her drive alone.”

Before returning to The Roscente, Zelda operated an art training institution. She had learned self-defense skills like martial arts and taekwondo. She couldn’t be as gentle and refined as a true young lady.

After returning to The Roscente, she restrained all her past flamboyance, living cautiously. Chris knew that her daughter, who was supposed to be the young lady of The Roscente, should be knowledgeable, courteous, and gentle. Chris was delighted that Zelda willingly suppressed her previous flamboyance.

But that didn’t mean Zelda’s character had changed.

“Thank you, Mom.”

“Charles, you’re too polite. Zelda is my biological daughter. I care more about her than you do.”

She cared more about Zelda’s life and death.

After filing the report, Charles fell into silence.

He didn’t speak, and Chris didn’t know what to say.

Although Charles was her son-in-law, she didn’t dare to treat him as one.

“Has Lowell come to propose yet?”

Charles suddenly asked.

Chris didn’t speculate on why he knew and quickly explained, “Burton’s mom came, but I drove her away. Moreover, she didn’t come to propose on behalf of her son to marry Zelda. Instead, she wanted to marry Elle. Charles, please don’t misunderstand Zelda; she didn’t know Burton’s mom would come.”

Lowell proposing to Elle?

Charles thought of the bits and pieces he had investigated between Burton and Zelda. His gaze gradually turned cold.

Burton and Elle were in love with each other. When Zelda fell in love with Burton at first sight, one pretended to be in harmony with Zelda, while the other strongly supported Zelda being with Burton.

He could guess what they were up to.

Elle!

Keep her for him to practice dealing with shameless people. He wouldn’t do anything, but he wouldn’t tolerate The Lowell.

“Lowell is really fickle.”

Charles coldly uttered a sentence.

Chris said with resentment, “Burton’s mom is here for revenge against my family, deliberately doing this. It makes me so angry.”
