Nora's words were like an icy sword which clove into Carlos's heart. What remained of his broken heart had become as cold as a polar winter.
To be honest, he had cared about Nora's past, but he loved her so much that he had ignored everything. He had taken it that nothing had happened.
After all, everyone had their own past. He had never been there in her past. Maybe Nora had lived a hard life, so he chose to accept her and her past and forget it. He felt bad at the thought of everything that she must have done sometimes. But it couldn't compare to the love in his heart.
However, within only a moment, Nora's words seemed to have negated all of his efforts. She had used up all his tolerance and leniency and had forcefully broken his love into pieces.
He had thought that Nora had returned to Jingshi City with him because she had really fallen in love with him. Even if she had come here at Darren's instruction to serve his purpose, Carlos had believed that she just wanted to help him remove the poison, but now...
Now he finally knew that in Nora's heart, detoxifying Darren was the real purpose of her trip, and she had just helped Carlos incidentally.
Or perhaps the real reason why she had said she was willing to return with him and had given him such fake love was that she merely wanted to get her hands on his power in Jingshi City.
Carlos held back his tears with an iron will. He had realized that tears were cheap, and they could swindle people's true feelings. They were Nora's most potent weapon to get what she wanted from him. She could shed tears easily without any qualms.
Tears welled up unbidden in his eyes. He looked at Nora who was crying so animatedly. Suddenly, he felt that this whole situation was so ironic. He nodded his head and said, "What are you crying for? Are you afraid of losing me, your only assistant in Jingshi City? To be honest, I did mind your past. But I ignored it since it was all in the past. What's so ridiculous is that I loved you with all my heart regardless of whatever you did, and you thought I was only a tool for you to use."
A
what had happened last night!
"Mom, I..." Carlos wanted to frankly tell Leah everything from the beginning. After all, it was merely a one-sided misunderstanding between him and Nora. But he realized that his parents were the type of people who would definitely want to get even with Nora if he told them the truth. Therefore, he softened his heart and corrected himself, saying, "I was with Cherish last night, but nothing happened between us."
"Gee..." Leah laughed. She knew that the younger generation were much braver these days. She believed that Carlos was too embarrassed to say anything. So she just responded by saying, "Okay, okay. Anyway, you should be careful and use protection before you consider having a baby. But we like Cherish, and we want her to be our daughter-in-law. If you two have a child, we will be as happy as hell!"
Chuck, who had been peacefully reading a newspaper without interrupting, couldn't help but glance at Carlos when he heard this. He ended up laughing aloud as he thought of his future grandson, who would be so lovely.
Hearing this, Carlos seemed even gloomier. He said impatiently, "I said nothing happened between Miss Shen and me last night. Don't make assumptions!"
Then he jumped up and went upstairs, leaving his parents to exchange glances.
So what had then happened last night? Did they now have their daughter-in-law and future grandchild?
