Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 75

Mrs. Scott wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Awkwardly, she uttered, “Mr. Larson, I‘m really sor ry for making a fool in front of you.”

Mrs. Larson frowned. “I don‘t think Carter is willing to marry my daughter.”

Mrs. Scott smiled. ”Laura, stop joking. Carter is just shy. I will talk to him later. They will get engaged. Eve n if they had a conflict, they would still get married.”

Mrs. Larson pretentiously flicked at the dust on her body before she spoke. “Faye, you and I have known each other for twenty to thirty years. Although our family has been abroad t hese years, we still keep in touch. Thus, our relationship has never faded. I thought you had already talked to Carter about the engagement. You have disgraced us by putting us in such an awkward situation.”

Mrs. Scott responded with a smile. “Laura, it‘s my fault. Don‘t worry, Jennifer is so gorgeous and consider ate. Sooner or later, Carter will fall in love with her. Don‘t you have confidence in your daughter?”

Every parent liked their children to be praised. Hearing Mrs. Scott‘s praises, Mrs. Larson was exuberant as if she was the one being praised.

“Faye, you are right about that. The only weakness of Jennifer is that she is impeccable. Lots of men ado re and pursue her. But ever since she saw the photos of Carter, she made a fuss about coming back. To her, Carter is her ideal Prince Charming. My daughter likes him, and you also intend for them to get marri ed. This is why I brought her back. Faye, don‘t let me down.”

Mrs. Scott smiled and assured, “Laura, don‘t worry, I want Jennifer as my daughter in–law.”

“Faye, I‘m taking you for your word.” Mrs. Scott expressed, “I think Carter was angry only because he wa s kept in the dark. We will leave now. We will pay a visit again when Carter has figured it out.”

“That‘s great. I‘ll walk you to the door.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Mrs. Scott sent them to the gate and reassured them lovingly, “Jennifer, don‘t think too much. You‘re so g entle and nice. It‘s Carter‘s blessing and honor to be able to marry you.”

Jennifer smiled softly. “Mrs. Scott, I believe that Carter and I will be a couple. Even if he has someone in his heart now, I believe he will eventually see my good side. We still have a lot of time. I can wait.”

Mrs. Scott became even more satisfied. “Jennifer, I like your sensibility. Don‘t worry.

You are the daughter–in–law of the Scotts. I will never approve of others.”

A flash of smugness flashed in Jennifer‘s eyes as she grinned. “Mrs. Scott, I‘m relieved to hear that. Plea se go in and rest well.”

“Bye. Have a good night.” Mrs. Scott smiled, “Jennifer, come over during the weekend, and I will take you shopping. I saw a pair of beautiful shoes a couple of days ago. I think you will like it. Let‘s go and try. I wi ll buy it for you.”

Jennifer enthusiastically wrapped her arms around Mrs. Scott. “Oh, Mrs. Scott, what should I do? I like y ou more and more. I wish you are my mother–in–law now.”

Those words delighted Mrs. Scott comprehensively.

“My lovely girl, I can’t wait for you to be my daughter–in–law.”

Jennifer expressed some more compliments to Mrs. Scott before leaving with her parents.

Mrs. Scott‘s face contorted with rage once they left.

“Darling, look at your son. He is all grown up and doesn‘t even respect me as a mother.” Complaining wit h great dissatisfaction, Mrs. Scott snatched the newspaper

from Mr. Scott‘s hand.

Mr. Scott responded, “Faye, I told you. It would be better if you discussed this with Carter first. The previous incident with Amelia Winters resulted in him not speaking to us for over two years. Do you want to force your son away again?”

Mrs. Scott choked for a moment and then argued unconvincingly, “What do you mean I forced him out? I‘ m doing this for his good. Amelia Winters is married to a rich family now, so he should let her go complet ely and marry Jennifer. That‘s the best choice for him.”

Mr. Scott took back his newspaper, turning a deaf ear to her.

Mrs. Scott got even angrier at that. “Dear, are you listening to me?”

Mr. Scott said without raising his head, “Faye, don‘t blame me for not reminding you. Our son is different from four years ago. He is strong enough to compete with anyone in the Scott family. If you still want to e njoy prosperity, you should make up with your son and let him come back to Scott Group. Otherwise, the group may one day fall into the hands of outsiders. What will your life become like? Think about it.”

Mrs. Scott sat down beside Mr. Scott dejectedly.

“Dear, what you said makes sense, but Jennifer is perfect in every aspect, and she is a brilliant match for Carter. Don‘t you want to see them together?”

“Of course I want to, but only if my son likes her. Four years ago, we did what we thought was right to force Amelia away. My son ended up not t alking to us for years. To the extent where he only told us about his company after it succeeded. I think h e wants to have his own business to be able to contend with us in terms of his marriage.”

Mr. Scott paused for a moment and revealed his honest thoughts. “Four years ago, we might still be able to influence his life, but now, I‘m afraid it‘s difficult.”

Mrs. Scott sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

Carter came down from upstairs, picked up his suit on the sofa, and said, “Dad, Mom, I won‘t stay for din ner. There are still some things to settle at the company.”

Mrs. Scott queried, “Carter, are you really mad at me?”

Carter said without looking back, “Mom, I will not be angry with you, but I won‘t allow you to make these pointless decisions for me in the future. I wish I marry the woman I like.

“Is it true that you still want to marry Amelia?”

“Yes. She is the only one I will ever want to marry.” Carter stated firmly.

Mrs. Scott almost fainted. “Carter, this is way too over.”

“Mom, if you love your son, you should stop doing this. I‘m not fond of Jennifer; even if she is the best, I will never marry her. If you insist on this, you will only make

With hands trembling, Mrs. Scott yelled again, “Carter, do you really want to piss me off?”

“Mom, I still have work in my company. I‘m done playing games with you.” Upon speaking, Carter walked away without looking back, leaving Mrs. Scott alone in wrath.

Carter drove out speedily to a club nearby the center of the city. He avoided the noisy crowd and went str aight to the bar, where he ordered a cocktail. Walking to a corner with his drink, he noticed someone he least expected to meet. Oscar Clinton.

Oscar was well dressed in an elegant suit, which seemed a bit out of tune with the boisterous club. Carte r was shocked to find him there.

Oscar threw a glance at him. “Take a seat.”

Carter sat across him and asked, “Why are you here? Where‘s Amelia?”

Oscar took a sip of wine and said, “Don‘t you think it‘s a bit too abrupt for Mr. Scott to ask about my wife?”

Carter took a sip of wine with unchanged emotion. He turned his head to look at the frantically writhing crowd on the dance floor and mo man like you, even more so when your wife is pregnant. Since your wife is my friend, shouldn‘t I ask?”

Oscar changed his posture again, looking at Carter lazily. “Mr. Scott, no one can compare to you as a hyp you.”

Carter‘s hand slowly clenched into a fist.

“Mr. Clinton, don’t judge me with your unpleasant thoughts. I am innocent with Amelia, and I will never tou

Carter looked at him with displeasure and asked, “What service does Mr. Clinton think Amelia will offer me

“That, you have to ask yourself.” Oscar‘s casual attitude completely annoyed Carter.

“Once again, don‘t assume things with that sordid mind of yours. Although Amelia looked seductive and beddable, she was a naive woman. time jobs in addition to her classes. But she never gave in. If not for the betrayal and the debts five years

As to why Carter would be so angry, it was firstly because Oscar did not know how to cherish Amelia and of his own inability and the betrayal of his family, he would have been together with Amelia.
