“Is there anything else? Didn’t my dad say you were already in the hospital?”
Every time it was the same trick and excuse, it was hard for him not to see through it.
But as a son, he was always afraid that one day his father might be telling the truth, and he wouldn’t believe it.
After all, she was his biological mother, the one who gave birth to and raised him.
“Don’t change the subject. I asked you who you’re going to marry!” Audrey stared at her son without blinking.
She didn’t expect this outcome!
At the same time, she was very surprised. He had been so upright all these years, how could a woman suddenly appear, and they were even getting married?
It was even more sudden than Rosalind’s appearance back then!
“Of course, it’s the person I love.”
“I think you’re just trying to anger me to death!” Audrey clutched her chest in fury, gasping for breath. “You were never like this before. It was Rosalind who led you astray! I was right to make her leave; otherwise, who knows how much more she would have influenced you!”
Ulric’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
He sensed something wrong in her words.
“You made her… leave?”
Realizing she had misspoken, Audrey quickly tried to change the subject, complaining about how unwell she felt and that she could hardly breathe.
Seeing this, the servants and the butler rushed forward to support her. “Madam, madam, are you alright?”
Ulric was now focused on getting answers. He took long strides and blocked his mother and the others from leaving.
“Explain clearly, did you force Rosalind to leave?”
His eyes were dark and cloudy, with a hint of hope.
If… if Rosalind had really been forced to leave…
No one knows a child better than their mother. Audrey knew exactly where her son’s most painful spot was! Since he insisted on asking, she had to make him completely give up on Rosalind.
“If she really loved you, would she have left just because I forced her?”
“…”
These words pierced Ulric like a sharp blade, leaving him unable to respond.
“My son, Sirena is the only one in this world who is truly suitable for you! Listen to your mother and marry Sirena. This time you’ve announced your engagement suddenly without revealing who the bride is. Just say it’s Sirena! Then I can die in peace.”
One Rosalind had already sent her to the emergency room several times. If there was another one, Audrey wasn’t sure she could handle it.
And to be honest, if it weren’t for Sirena accurately predicting Rosalind’s character, she might not have won!
“Mom, I hope Rosalind left because she no longer loves me and that it has nothing to do with you.”
Ulric didn’t answer her directly but left this sentence behind as he returned to his car and drove away from the estate.
On the road, he dialed Cedric’s number.
“Any news after announcing the engagement?”
“Mr. Walters, maybe… we should stop looking.”
This was the first time Cedric had said such a thing.
He hadn’t dared before.
But now he couldn’t hold back anymore.
“If Taylor wants to hide, we won’t be able to find her! It’s been three years, Mr. Walters. She might even have a child with Malcolm by now.”
These words were harsh, and Cedric was prepared to be scolded by his boss. But having been by his side for so many years, Cedric couldn’t bear to see his CEO continue to be so obsessed.
Mr. Walters was so outstanding and so devoted; it was Rosalind who didn’t appreciate it!
Even though he had a good impression of her before, now all that remained was disgust.
How could she be so heartless as to hurt someone who loved her so deeply?
