Chapter 253

Clara was in a bind.

But thank goodness that’s all in the past now.

Taylor was such a pain in the ass, and it seemed like he couldn’t sit still for a minute.

She’d made it crystal clear to him last time.

And she couldn’t believe Taylor didn’t realize that if Emmett really got pissed and decided to drive his company to bankruptcy, it wouldn’t be a far-fetched possibility!

Why did he have to stir up such a storm…

Taylor came home, looking all spaced out.

He slumped on the couch, not in the mood to talk or move.

Teresa, hearing the commotion, came down from upstairs.

“Son, what’s the matter? Are you feeling sick?” She asked anxiously, looking at Taylor, “Do you need me to call a doctor?”

Taylor glanced at her and shook his head, “No need, sit down.”

“Is there something you wanted to tell me?” Teresa was a bit worried.

After all, it wasn’t a small matter if her son was suddenly so severe and wanted to talk.

“There’s something I wanted to chat about.”

“What is it?” Teresa asked, straight to the point, “About Clara, right?”

Taylor nodded slightly, “Yes.”

“Then there’s nothing much to talk about! Clara is just an old friend of yours, and now you should stay away from her as far as possible! You can’t have any ties with her anymore! Because of her, you’ve already neglected so much company business; how can you face your father with this!”

Taylor lowered his head, “You always say Clara is chasing me, then why would she reject me? Why is it that I’ve made it clear that I want to be with her, yet she always avoids me.”

“You’ve been to see her?” Teresa sensed that they had met.

Taylor decided not to hide it anymore…

“Yes! I like Clara; that’s a fact you can’t change no matter what! Even though I don’t have your blessing, I know I love her. She’s in my heart!”

Teresa’s face changed instantly.

“What’s so good about Clara? She’s already done so much to hurt you; why do you still like her? Don’t you know that she’s Emmett’s girlfriend now?”

“I know.”

Teresa was shocked, “Then you still…”

“But I told you I love her, and that’s something nobody can change! I can’t leave her, nor can I forget her!” Taylor stared at his mother, “If you can’t accept us, then I’ll run away from home! Just pretend you don’t have a son!”

Teresa was so angry she wanted to slap him, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

“Give up on Clara Son, she’s just not worth your affection!”

“That’s my decision. I think Clara is great, even better than others.”

“Clara must have seduced you again!”

Teresa got up, ready to confront Clara.

Taylor quickly stopped her, “Why is that? Isn’t it good that I’ve found happiness and am with the person I love?”

He just didn’t understand how things had come to this!

Looking at it now, what Leah said seemed increasingly possible!

“Son, you don’t understand! Clara’s father is a gambling addict; he’s capable of anything! Even if our Atwood family had a gold mine, he could squander it all away!”
