"I’ve given you plenty of chances. Have you forgotten all of them?" I couldn’t help but retort.
"I didn’t understand myself back then. Can you stop judging now based on my past?" Damon seed even more helpless as I said that. He knew that he couldn’t change the past. And he knew how excessive his past behavior was.
I remained silent and just continued to drive.
Upon arriving at the hospital, I accompanied Damon to treat his wounds and then drove him back to Starlight Estates.
Knowing that Damon’s mother was also there, I planned to just drop Damon off at the entrance and let him walk in himself. But he just sat in the passenger seat, not moving a bit.
"I couldn’t walk because you hurt ," Damon turned his head and looked at as if it were a matter of course.
I was confused. When did he get hurt because of ? I didn’t ask him to drink, nor did I hire soone to beat him.
Seeing my confused face, Damon continued, "How could I end up like this if you hadn’t ignored for the past two months?"
I found that Damon’s defenses were getting more and more sophisticated. It was clearly him who did the wrong thing first. I was just angry, but it ended up being who ignored him.
"Fine, it’s my fault. I’ll pay for your dical expenses. Now please get out of my car." I said with a cold and impatient tone.
"Just drive in. Your car can go in." Damon didn’t move, ignoring what I said.
I was getting a bit angry. It was already late, and I wanted to go ho and rest. I had work the next day.
Just as we were at a stalemate, soone suddenly knocked on my car window. I turned around and saw it was Damon’s mother. Her face was almost pressed against the car window.
I had to roll down the window. Damon’s mother looked at and her face lit up with surprise. Then she looked at Damon in the passenger seat and couldn’t help but smile with joy.
"Eliana, it really is you! I thought the car looked familiar, so I ca over to check." Damon’s mother said with a smile on her face.
I was a bit flustered. Damon’s mother was very enthusiastic and joyful. It seed like she misunderstood sothing. Could she not see the wound on her son’s head?
"Lisa, Damon got a bit hurt, so I drove him back," I awkwardly replied.
"That’s good, that’s good. He got hurt. Co in and sit for a while." Damon’s mother seed to not care about her son’s injury. She even praised it.
I glanced at Damon. His face didn’t look too good.
It was already late. I didn’t know why Damon’s mother was still outside, but I planned to go ho and rest.
I politely declined, "Lisa, it’s already late. I’ll co back next ti."
"Acting now is always better than waiting. You brought my son back today. I have to invite you in to show my gratitude, Don’t say anything. I’ll just go with you." Lisa didn’t wait for to reply. She just opened the back door and sat down, smiling at .
I felt helpless, but I couldn’t ask Lisa to get out of the car.
Damon was resting with his eyes closed. He had no intention of helping speak. This mother-son duo was really sothing. Their personalities changed so similarly. The Lisa from before would never be so direct; she was originally a very reserved lady. Since I didn’t know what to say, I just had to drive them ho.
When we arrived at the villa, I said to and
We’re here. You guys should rest early. I’m going ho."
Lisa insisted on inviting in for sothing to drink while Damon just quiet.
I felt like I was being trapped, unable to resist.
Lisa poured a glass of juice. Her attitude towards getting closer and closer, which made feel a bit flustered. Out of so many won in the world, she just decided that I was her daughter-in-law. That feeling was sowhat complicated.
"Eliana, you guys chat for a bit. I’m going to take a bath. I just went for a walk with my friends, and it was so hot, I’m all sweaty." Lisa stood up after a brief period of sitting, and smiled at .
"Lisa, I’ve finished my juice. I’m going ho now," I imdiately stood up and
spoke.
Lisa said unhappily, "No problem. Sit for a while longer. Look, it’s already so late. Just stay here tonight. We have plenty of rooms!" Even if there were more rooms, I couldn’t stay there. My heart hadn’t completely cald down yet, and I had promised my mother to keep a distance from Damon. If I didn’t go ho tonight, she would have definitely suspected sothing.
Before could refuse, Lisa had already quickly gone upstairs, as if she was afraid that I would say more.
Looking at her hurriedly leaving figure, I turned my gaze back and looked at Damon.
"Don’t bla for this. My mom now thinks that you are the only suitable candidate for her daughter- in-law. These days, I always hear her nagging about this, and it annoys . Sotis I even dare not co back," Damon shrugged, elegantly sipping his juice. The wound on his head did not affect his charm at all.
"Is it because she feels guilty about hiding the thing about Catherine from in the past?" I asked.
Damon pondered, "That might be part of the reason, but it’s not the main reason." Damon thought seriously for a mont, then explained to , "The main reason is that she likes you. She saw how good you were to in the past, and she feels that she won’t find anyone else who really cares for like you do."
I was speechless.
Lisa was also good to in my past life, but she wasn’t as determined as in this life. It felt like she was almost considering as the only candidate for her daughter-in-law, setting aside her dignity and trying her best to get to turn around.
I say from the bottom of my heart that Lisa had always been kind to . If it weren’t for the problems between Damon and , I would have definitely been happy to live with them.
"By the way, how is your cooperation with FarHorizon Group going recently?" Damon suddenly changed the topic and asked seriously.
"There are indeed many problems with them. There are many loopholes in their financial situation. I’m currently gathering relevant evidence." I also beca serious and discussed the issue in depth with Damon.
In the past couple of months, we hadn’t touched base. We were both caught up in our own stuff.
But once we started yakking about all that, we got very much into it with zero personal feelings getting in the way. We dove deep into our discussion, getting a clearer grip on the situation at hand.
"The docunts are likely with Nancy. Ethan’s feelings for her are legit." Damon filled in.
"Why not straight up destroy the docunts?" I was left scratching my head.
"They might be gradually getting rid of them. After all, they got to tie up all loose ends before they can totally trash them." Damon replied.
