Looking at the phone, Carle seemed even more surly and morose.
In the end, Elisa didn’t explain the situation to him at all. She only asked him if he trusted her.
Of course I do, but I want to hear the complete story. Not just to know the truth but to see that she
cares enough to tell me. She will explain everything if I’m important enough to her.
When such incidents happened in the past, Elisa would at least give some explanation, even though
she was pretty aloof. At that moment, she didn’t mention anything about it.
Her coldness terrified him. He tried to restrain his thoughts, but they kept bubbling up.
“I-Impossible!”
Sweat broke out on his back.
Coincidentally, Holly heard him while she was making her way downstairs.

She had just seen the posts on Twitter moments ago, so she could imagine how he was feeling.
But…
He was lost in his thoughts, staring blankly into the air.
Holly walked to the couch and sat down beside him. “A penny for your thoughts?” she asked gently.
Carle returned to his senses and turned around to look at her.
However, when he looked at her, he immediately retracted his gaze and looked thoughtful again.
Worried about him, she held his hands. “Hey, are you ignoring me now?”
“No.” Carle returned to his senses again and gave a brief reply.
Holly’s eyes narrowed when she looked at her son. He’s always like this – he doesn’t like to tell anyone
his thoughts and only reports the good news to me.
I bet it’s a great shock to him, and he might not be in control of his emotions. Elisa means the world to
him.
“Alas…” She shook her head helplessly.
“What’s wrong?” Carle looked at her.
“I’m sad.”
The expression on his face changed after hearing her reply.
“Out of a sudden?” he asked tentatively.
He was worried that she might have seen the news on Twitter, but she seldom used the application.
Worried that his mother might get the wrong impression of Elisa, he didn’t dare to breach the topic. If
she didn’t know about it, I would’ve spilled the beans. I don’t want her to be displeased with Elisa.
While he was hesitating, Holly did not hide the fact that she had already seen everything.

Carle’s expression took another turn. He shook his head firmly, “Mom, things are not what you
imagine.”
Holly looked at her son with a conflicted expression. “Carle, I know you love her dearly, and you want to
be with her for the rest of your life – her past doesn’t bother you at all. But… do you know that you are
giving her a hard time?”
Carle’s eyelashes fluttered. “What do you mean, Mom?” he asked with trembling lips.
He knew the truth, but he refused to believe it.
Holly sighed. “I know you have your grievances, but haven’t you thought about the reason for that?”
He turned even paler as the remaining blood drained from his face.
