Chapter 118 What if I Also Like Horace?
Edmondâs chin slightly receded, his face looking very unpleasant, and his eyes were filled with gloom.
It seems that Everett said it is true that the Friedan family had a good impression of Horace.
He tightened his fingers, pursed his thin lips, and said lightly, âI donât know.â
âAlthough we were married for three years, we didnât understand each other, and the same goes for
Horace.â
Donât understand, after three years of marriage, canât even say âdonât understandâ?
Ervin smiled in his eyes and did not immediately respond.
Under his scrutinizing gaze, Edmond added, âIf we both like each other, being together shouldnât be a
problem.â
Thinking about Claudia saying that she had fallen for someone else, Edmond chuckled self-
deprecatingly. It seemed that he had almost become a father within his marriage, but it was destined
that he would not be happy.
Waldron next to him became annoyed.
What does it mean that liking each other would not cause any problems? Does it mean that he and
Claudia didnât like each other at first?
Exactly, how could a man who has a wife and still engages with other
0.00%
women willingly only love his own wife?
Thinking of Horace again, at least he had a proper attitude, much better than him, I donât know how
much.
Waldron smirked and casually said, âClaudia and him definitely liked each other.â
He glanced at Ervin and said, âErvin, youâre asking the wrong person, arenât you? How could Mr.
Lamont, who has always stayed away from trouble, understand these things? I think we should meet
with the other members of the Ferguson family and settle all the necessary matters.â
This remark stirred Edmond up. Indeed, upon hearing these words, Edmondâs eyes darkened a little
more..
No man was willing to find a new partner so quickly after breaking up with their ex.
Besides Edmond, Elva was also stimulated.
Originally, she was just listening to gossip, but when she heard that they were going to meet the
parents and settle down, Elva couldnât sit still.
âWaldron, does Horace know about this? Perhaps he doesnât want to decide so quickly yet.â
Waldron didnât think much about it and sneered, âHe said that as long as Claudia is willing, their whole
family can come to Wellfort.â
Did the whole family come to Wellfort?
What is the status of the Ferguson family, not only in Vencumfield but also in the whole country and
even the world, with their industries and the combination of politics and business, making them
formidable.
The whole family coming to Wellfort, what a concept! This is definitely sincere!
Elva was jealous and went crazy!
She had lived for over twenty years without liking any man, because she didnât find any of those men
appealing. Only Horace, the man she saw for the first time and wanted to spend her whole life with.
She didnât want to miss out, let alone give up.
âErvin, Derrick, Waldron,â Elva looked at the three of them and bit her delicate lip. âWhat if I also liked
Horace?â
The crowd: â
âI know itâs sudden to say this now, but if I donât say it, Iâm afraid I
wonât have another chance, Derrick, Waldron, do you remember what you used to tell me? You said
that if I ever met someone I liked and he didnât like me back, you would find a way to make him like me,
until I no longer liked him.â Taking a deep breath, she had a hint of moisture in her eyes. âNow, does
that promise still hold true?â
Is it arithmetic?
How could they come back from this?
Who kn
They had said such things, but that was many years ago when they were three brothers with their
adolescent res times would change and she would fall in love with Horace?
Who knew that
And Horaceâs attitude is very clear now, he only likes Seraphina and will not marry anyone else.
Even if they tried, there was no way to make Horace like her.
Elva suddenly stood up and said that she liked Horace, which
29 47%
surprised them.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Elva chuckled self- deprecatingly.
The subtle details made Derrickâs blood boil: âThe Ferguson family intended to form an alliance with the
Friedan family, but Seraphina may not have been the best choice.â
Elvaâs heart leaped with joy as she gratefully looked at Derrick.
âSeraphina is pregnantâ¦â Derrickâs tone changed upon seeing someone else present. âAlthough
Horace is willing, his family may not be. Seraphina would probably be unhappy if she were to marry
into that family. Even though Elvaâs leg was injured, after the surgery, she is no different from an
ordinary person. Since Elva likes him, it is not impossible to arrange a match.â
Ervin remained silent, and even Waldron had to admit that his words made sense.
Disagreeing does not necessarily mean disapproval.
He tossed his rebellious hair and sneered, âWe canât make decisions on this matter, letâs ask Horace
himself.
When Elva heard the question, her face turned extremely ugly.
She didnât want to confront Horace because she had already asked before, and it had only
embarrassed her without any other effect.
She knew that Horace didnât like her, but she still wanted to give it a try. Love at first sight is rare, most
people develop feelings over time.
As long as she was given some time, she had a way to make him fall in love with her.
âNo need to ask,â she said expressionlessly, âhis mind is all on his sister now, while my mind is only on
him. I am unrequited loveâ¦..â
The scene fell silent upon hearing her straightforward words.
Elva self-deprecatingly said, âI knew he didnât like me, but how many aristocratic marriages are based
on mutual love? Even you, didnât you also have three years of a loveless marriage with your sister?â
Upon hearing these words, Edmond suddenly turned to look at her, his gaze freezing cold like frost.
Elvaâs heart trembled, and she quickly averted her gaze.
We had different dreams for three years while sharing the same bed.
He was the only one kept in the dark
Edmond sneered in silence.
Elva stubbornly lifted her little face slightly, fearlessly looking at Waldron, who was dissatisfied with her:
âWaldron, do you think I am targeting my sister again?â
âIn fact, I wasnât targeting her, I was just jealous of her, jealous of her taking away the care you had for
me, taking away what belonged to me.â
If Claudia didnât come back, Horace would definitely choose her, because he didnât have any other
options.
It was Claudia who gave him several possible choices.
As Elva finished speaking, Waldron furrowed his brow.
âIt was our fault,â Ervin suddenly spoke up.
Unexpectedly, he said these words. Elva lowered her head in grievance, and tears fell one by one onto
her clothes.
***
There was a park at the entrance of the hospital, and Claudia walked step by step to the small bridge to
take a breath.
Just at that moment, a snake-skin bag came down over his head.
Just as she was about to press the button on her watch, the other person quickly tightened their grip on
her hand, took off the watch, and swiftly bound her before throwing her into the back compartment.
âOwen, didnât I say to only steal things? How did you end up stealing people too?â The deep voice was
filled with strong dissatisfaction.
Claudia quickly reached into her pocket and, sure enough, her phone had also been stolen at some
point.
Knowing that her watch had other functions, this person knew her identity!
Slowly, she felt a bit weak all over her body, and a strong unpleasant smell hit her nose.
This bag was medicated.
âMr. Feng gave me twice the amount of money and asked me to teach her a lesson,â Owenâs words
lacked any emotion.
âHow do you want to be taught a lesson?â the deep voice trembled slightly.
Claudia wanted to listen more, but gradually lost consciousness.
The assistant sat in the car leisurely smoking, the Maybach car was
extremely eye-catching, and many men and women walked by, wanting to see who was inside the car.
Some bold ones even came up to strike up a conversation.
The assistant was very helpless. If he were handsome, it would be fine, but he had a small nose and
small eyes. What were these women asking for?
He was just about to close the car window when his eyes swept across and caught sight of a familiar
figure standing by the small bridge.
Mrs. Lamontâ¦.. Ms. Lloyd?!
Before he could even confirm, several men stood behind the woman and quickly tied her up in the back
compartment.
The assistant widened his eyes in astonishment as he witnessed someone actually sna tching people
on the street in broad daylight.
