An ashamed look streaked across Elisa’s eyes. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Semoa. I caused this mess, but you have to clean
up. However… I have no other way. I’m afraid that I will agitate him again if I say it to him.”
Sheena couldn’t help but sigh. “That’s right, Mrs. Semoa. Carle really can’t be agitated any more, but if things
continue this way, he will find out the truth. I hope that he is mentally prepared for it and that he won’t suddenly
break down from suddenly finding out…”
Rachel pursed her lips and drank a sip of orange juice. She couldn’t help but say in exasperation, “Carle loves too
deeply. He’s had feelings for Liz for so many years and has never changed. If he turns around, he will see that
there’s someone else who loves as deeply as he does. There’s someone who has liked him all along.”
Holly’s eyes flashed slightly. Following the direction of Rachel’s gaze, her gaze fell on Sheena. Seeing Sheena look
down unconsciously, Holly was sure that Rachel was talking about her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe looked at Sheena in astonishment. “Sheen…?”
Sheena came to her senses. “Hmm?”
Holly was sure of it!
Looking at Sheena’s flushed complexion and concealed awkwardness in her eyes, Holly smiled lightly. “Sheen likes
my son?”
Sheena’s expression changed slightly. She opened her mouth subconsciously to say something, but she couldn’t say
a single word.
Holly was a little surprised. She looked at Sheena and smiled. “I previously thought that you didn’t want to date. I
never imagined that there’s someone you like. Why don’t you be my daughter-in-law?”
Rachel and Elisa were slightly astounded, while Sheena was stupefied. It was a while before she could come to her
senses, and she unconsciously said, “Mrs. Semoa…”
Holly smiled. “I can’t let fertile water flow into another field. I never knew about it. I’ve watched the three of you
grow up, so I know your characters well.”
Astonishment flickered across Sheena’s eyes, but in the next instant, she smiled bitterly. “I was never the one that
Carle likes. I don’t want to impose.”
She hung her head after she said that, holding back the hurt in her eyes.
“You can take the horse to the water, but you cannot make it drink. But you must take the horse there before you
know if the horse will drink,” Holly said calmly.
Elisa, Rachel, and Sheena were flabbergasted.
The three of them looked at her, perplexed.
Holly gave the impression of being cold and aloof. There was a noble air about her.
But now…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat is she doing?
Is she trying to force Sheena into the picture?
Is she afraid that Sheena would be someone else’s daughter-in-law?
Their jaws dropped.
“Why are you looking at me like this? What’s wrong with what I said?”
“No…” Rachel picked up her juice and took a sip. “There’s nothing wrong! Nothing wrong with it at all!”
Elisa smiled. “Nothing is wrong with it.”
Sheena looked down bashfully. She didn’t know what to say.
The smile in the corner of Holly’s lips deepened. “I know that you’re surprised, but what I said is the truth.
Everything can be done one step at a time. As for Carle, this child is stubborn. Let me think of a way.”
“Then… I’m sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Semoa. I… I have no other way.”
Holly nodded. “You can treat him colder during this period. The more he gets disappointed, it will slowly get easier
for him to accept it. Breaking the news to him slowly is better than doing it all at once.”
