NovelEnglishChapter 799
"What's going on?"
Adela glanced at her husband, a sense of unease creeping in. "This seems serious?"
On the way home, Edgar had been rehearsing what he was about to say. Now, facing his parents, he spoke with
earnestness, "Dad, Mom, I'm in love with Sherilyn. | want to be with her." "What?"
Adela's anxiety spiked instantly, confirming her fears.
"Edgar, how can you be so blindly obsessed..."
"Mom."
Edgar frowned, interrupting her gently yet firmly, "I've listened to you, I really have. | even tried dating other
people. But, Mom, it's not something | can force. You can't make someone feel something they don't." Adela was
momentarily speechless, her lips quivering, unsure of how to counter.
"Mom, | love Sherilyn."
Edgar's voice deepened, "I hope you can give us your blessing. Please, don't hurt her anymore, or I'll have no
choice but to leave Sunhaven." "Edgar!"
Adela's face turned pale, "You would choose her over your own parents?"
"Haven't | considered you?"
Edgar shook his head, his brows furrowed, "If it weren't because you're my mother, | couldn't forgive what you've

"Do you realize that by bribing and plotting against Sherilyn, what you did was criminal?"
"What?" A jolt ran through Adela, anxiety clear in her voice, "Would you really go as far as to sue me?"
"No."
Edgar shook his head, "But there can't be a next time. Mom, I'll take care of the family business and honor you
as my mother."
He continued, balancing pressure with reason.
"But when it comes to my feelings, please respect my wishes. If you harm Sherilyn again, I'll still fulfill my duties
as a son, but | won't live with you anymore. I'm grown up; | can take care of myself, no matter where I go." It was
hard for Edgar to say these things to his mother, and his heart was heavy.
"Mom, | know you don't like Sherilyn. I'm not asking you to love her or cherish her. I'm just begging you, don't
hurt her."
With that, he stood up.
"That's all | wanted to say. Dad, Mom... have a good night."
"What do we do now?"
As soon as Edgar left, Adela massaged her temples, her head aching. "Has Sherilyn bewitched him?"
Gaylord Ferguson glanced at his
wife, resigned, "What can we do? Our son has made himself very clear. You've tried to stop him enough... Let it
be. We only have one son." en
"Let it be?" Adela was hardly content with that. "Yes."

Gaylord nodded, "Perhaps it's our opposition that's made him so stubborn. If he gets what he wants, who's to say
he'll stick with Sherilyn till the end?"
He chuckled, "Let's step back and see what happens."
"Maybe you're right..."
Adela nodded, somewhat convinced by her
pastusband's logic. Sherilyn'se
past was no secret; could Edgar
really overlook it entirely?
Being together was more than just talk.
"Alright, we'll do it your way."
The next morning, Sherilyn woke to find a message from Edgar.
[I'm waiting for you downstairs.]
The message was sent at five o'clock, but now it was seven.
Sherilyn immediately went to the window to look down. Edgar's Pagani was still there.
He hadn't left?
She hurried downstairs.
"Sherilyn."
Edgar got out of the car, holding a bouquet of flowers, his smile radiant. "You're awake? Here."
