Chapter 97
“What?”
“Your mom is really worried about you, could you go and comfort her? You little rascal,
think about your mom more often. Her life is pretty tough and while raising you, she’s had
a lot of people gossip behind her back. But she never abandoned you and raised you so
well. You must always respect and cherish her!” Elio took Alex’s hand. “Promise me that
you’ll never make your mom sad”
Alex paused, then nodded seriously.
“Good! I’ll remember the promise I made with Mr. Milbum today.”
“Good boy, now go soothe your mom!”
Just as Elio got up to take Alex to Clara’s room, his phone rang.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“You go see your mom first. I have to take a call.”
“Okay!”
Alex scampered off to find his mom, while Ello, holding his phone, stepped out of the
game room to answer it.
“Mom… What’s up?”
“I heard from the bodyguard, Rob, that woman is here?”
Elio glanced at Rob standing guard at the door and said helplessly, “Mom, why are you
spying on me? I’m grown, I know what I’m doing.”
“I think you don’t! Don’t cause trouble for our family! Your father has always valued our
family’s reputation above everything else, he’s spent his life healing people, and no one’s
ever spoken ill of him. Don’t ruin the good name he’s worked so hard to maintain now!”
“I want to be with Clara, how is that damaging our reputation?” Elio frowned, “That’s
prejudice!”
“I’m not discriminating against single moms, but you’re a Milburn! Our family can’t handle
the pressure of public opinion! Your father would surely die of anger because of this!
There’s no room for discussion!”
“It’s my marriage, so I don’t need to discuss it with anyone! Can’t I decide who I want to
spend my life with? I think your views are outdated. Alex is so adorable; I’ve always
treated him like my own child”
Upon hearing this, Olivia became even more anxious, “Are you really going to be stubborn
about this? Your father absolutely won’t agree!”
“It’s not him choosing a wife; I can’t help it if he doesn’t agree! Or you can just kick me
out of the family, that way whatever I do won’t tarnish the Milburn family!”
“Clara, you’re willing to give up your parents for this woman?!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You’re the ones forcing me not to be with Clara, not me forcing you to cut ties! You’re the
ones who started to obstruct us because of some non–existent reputation issues, making
me miss out on a great woman like Clara. How can I agree? I don’t agree, and you’re
forcing me, what can I do?” Elio massaged his temple, “You don’t understand Clara now,
once you meet her and understand her, you’ll like her too!”
“But she’s been divorced! Son, you could find a better woman!”
“I don’t think anyone can be better than Clara, I think she’s the best!” Elio glanced at
Clara’s mom door and smiled, “I don’t think I could be interested in any other woman now.
I only like her.”
“Are you willing to offend the Melendez family for her?”
“If it really comes to that, I am.”
