Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 1200
Chapter 1200: I plan to return in a few days’ time.
“You lass, don’t spout nonsense! What ‘supportive’ of me dating that guy? I have no intention of remarrying ever since your father died.”
Zhang Manhua lightly patted her daughter’s shoulder, feeling a little speechless.
“Although I am pretty touched by his feelings, it is still impossible for us.”
“How is it impossible? Look; I don’t object and he wants to marry you. Why not give it a try?”
Her daughter looked at her sincerely.
“I am already this old, so there is ‘giving it a try’ here! I only want to recover fast and help you to take care of the children.”
She shook her head.
“Mom—”
Before her daughter could say anything, a deep and magnetic male voice spoke first.
“Hua, you can’t reject me just like that! Can you please give me a chance?”
Pei Ge blinked at her mother in amusement when Charles barged into the room hurriedly.
Her teasing gaze did not go unnoticed to her mother, who rolled her eyes at her helplessly.
“I’m sorry.”
“I don’t need your apology.”
The man’s handsome features were etched with a sincere plea, making him look very pitiable.
He clearly had a strong and fierce look, yet when he showed such a pitiful expression, it was not repulsive or did not look out of place at all. Instead, one could not help but take pity on him.
She rolled her eyes at the sight.
Fine. Looks like mother is bound to be whisked away by this man, who is so good at acting pitiful, this time.
Indeed, as expected, her mother started wavering as she regarded the man.
“Let’s not talk about this today. Putting aside my feelings for you, we are still friends, aren’t we?”
This man knew when to take a step back. The moment he saw her hesitating, he did not force the issue further but decided to relent a little.
“Mhm.” Zhang Manhua finally relaxed when he stopped going on about this matter. With a smile, she nodded at him. “We are friends.”
“Then, once you recover, I’ll be your tour guide around this place.”
“Okay…”
Seeing the two conversing pleasantly, Pei Ge slowly exited the room to give the two time alone.
The moment she stepped out of the ward, she bumped into a human wall.
“Ah!”
With a soft shriek, she turned around and immediately saw Egger standing behind her.
“Egger?” She blinked, a little confused. “What’s the matter with you?”
His solemn expression puzzled her.
Ever since that elderly man’s appearance, he had been acting a little weird…
“Ge Ge, come with me for a moment.”
With that, he brought her to a secluded place.
“What’s wrong?” She looked at him quizzically.
“Do you know who he is?”
“I know. Didn’t you tell me the first time we met? He is part of England’s nobility and takes charge of a large corporation.”
The man did not know what to say as he took in her nonchalance.
He realized that her point of view was very different from the average person.
Others would usually feel a little uneasy or scared when they knew that they had met someone of a high status.
In stark contrast, she did not feel a tad nervous at all.
“…Do you know how messy his family is? Is it really good to let him be with your mother?”
He pursed his lips as his dark blue eyes flashed with a complicated gaze. It was so quick that no one noticed.
“I don’t see a problem. I think you’re overthinking this; I actually feel that he’s not bad. Also, no matter how messy his family is, he definitely has the power to protect my mom. Otherwise, he wouldn’t say openly his wish to marry my mom, right?”
She looked at him in amusement, trying to make her concerned friend calm down.
“Anyway, so far, I see him as a capable and responsible man; that’s why I don’t object to him dating my mother.”
Rather, after listening to her mother’s story, she truly felt that it was a good idea.
In this way, there would be someone to accompany her mother and even protect her while she was not around.
It would not be like the last time where her mistake had caused her mother to meet with a calamity. She almost failed to recover from her coma…
Despite already making preparations for her revenge, she was unable to guarantee that no mistakes or loopholes would put her family’s life in danger.
Hence, it was a good thing for such a man to be by her mother’s side.
“But…”
Egger moved to speak again, but she did not give him a chance.
“Alright, there’s no ‘but’ here. Let’s just watch from the sidelines and let nature take its course. Don’t think too much into this.”
She shook her head in amusement while commenting helplessly inside, Sigh… This guy, when can he place his attention on someone else? Deities up there, please hurry and give him a woman!
“Right. Now that my mom’s health is stable, I plan to return to China in a few days’ time.”
She told him straight away.
After all, her revenge was still underway; it was almost time for her to reap the benefits of it.
“This soon?”
The man frowned instantly.
“Mhm. There’s nothing else for me to worry about when it comes to my mom.”
Here, there was this guy, that old man, her best friend, and the others. She did not need to worry about leaving her mother.
“…Fine. I’ll prepare your plane tickets.”
He merely nodded.
“Thanks.”
After thanking him, she strode off and did not notice the complicated and solemn look on his face.
Of course, if she could hear his thoughts right now, she would definitely jump in fear.
