Chapter 2828
“I don’t know him that well,” Max said in a low voice.
“That makes sense.” Larissa nodded. “By the way, how did your blind date go today? I heard from your mom that
you went on a blind date with a military officer’s daughter.”
Max’s handsome face stiffened. He did not expect that his mom would tell Larissa about it. In that case, charity...
At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs as Charity walked down in casual clothes. Max did not
know whether she overheard their conversation or not.
Even if she did, she probably already knew about it.
“Aunt Larissa, my mom arranged it on her own. The lady’s parents are influential, so it would’ve been disrespectful
if I didn’t go. I’ll find an excuse later to say that our personalities don’t match and that we can’t be together.” Max
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtquickly raised his voice and said, “I already have someone I like.”
Larissa saw Max looking at her daughter, and her head started to ache. However, she did not say anything.
“Mom, can we have our meal now?” charity asked.
“Yes, yes. I’ll go get the food.” Larissa quickly excused herself from the situation.
Max stepped forward. “Charity, I’ve only liked you and you only. My feelings for you won’t change.”
“Max, I think it’s better for US to be friends.” charity raised her head and met his gaze. “Your parents really hope
that you can make the Langston family proud. Besides, it’s too difficult for your career to advance if our relationship
is exposed. Sometimes, we can’t just live for ourselves but our parents as well.”
“I’ll convince my mother.”
“Don’t be so naive. You’re your parents’ pride back in your hometown. In their hearts, you will get a promotion, and
they won’t have it any other way. If you keep insisting on dating me, it’ll only make your mom resent me. she and
my mom have been neighbors and good friends for tens of years. You won’t want them to lose their friendship over
this, do you?”
Max looked at her calm expression, feeling like a part of his heart was carved out and empty, “charity, you’re not
just worried about my career and the relationship between our families. In fact, you’ve ... never had feelings for
me, right?”
“Maybe. When your mom’s words directly or indirectly reminded me today that you and I could never be together, I
felt more relief. I did think of treating my illness as soon as possible to be able to date you. However, I don’t want it
anymore after this incident,” Charity said honestly.
“Why?” Max’s temple throbbed. He said with difficulty, “Is it because Chester saved you, or because you realized
that you’re still »
“No matter what, it’s a fact that Chester ended up in that state because he saved me. Although I don’t intend to get
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtogether with him, my conscience won’t allow me to remain indifferent to him as if nothing had happened.”
Charity sighed. “I probably won’t date anyone or get married in the future. I’ll just stay this way. Being alone is
actually pretty nice.”
“In other words, you’re thinking of staying single forever for Chester.” Max gritted his teeth, for he could not accept
that truth.
“No. I’m the one who doesn’t want it. Although I haven’t recovered and am still indifferent to relationships, I
subconsciously know that... I don’t like you.” After charity said that, she seemed more relaxed. “I felt happy and
relaxed around you back when we were just friends. However, when you started making your feelings more
obvious, it made me feel even more pressured. I’m sorry.”
Max was stunned.
He did not speak for a long time, and his heart hurt.
It was not that he did not sense it. Rather, he just thought he still had a chance as long as Charity did not reject him.
