Billionaire ’s Unforgettable First Love novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23 For Fear She's Stuck in There

"Since when?"

Ursula pulled her to the sofa and started grilling her about her relationship.

"Recently."

"You lied to me last time you said you helped a coworker out with the night shift, didn't you?"

"Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie."

"It doesn't matter. You've been out there the entire night and didn't answer any of my calls. Do you have any idea how worried I was? If I didn't see you this morning, I'd go turn to the police."

Ursula said in a firmer tone, which triggered Gwenyth's tears.

"It's normal having a boyfriend at your age. Why do you have to hide it from me?"

"I'm sorry. I should have told you earlier."

Ursula exhaled a long and heavy sigh.

It was a blessing for her to return home safely.

"Are you dating one of your coworkers?"

"No."

"Then who is he?"

Gwenyth didn't know what to reply to this, but when it had to come to this, she didn't want to lie anymore. At least, she didn't want to hide from her mom the reunion with Eddison after four years.

She'd rather reveal it than hide it until her mom bumped into her and Eddison together.

After all, Eddison had come here once and would do so in the recent days. Sooner or later, Ursula would find out all of it.

"He's someone you know. Perhaps you still remember him."

Ursula was kind of fretted and urged, "Who the hell is he? Tell me already!"

"Eddison Yates."

"You mean..."

Ursula gaped, and after a pause, she restored the calm slowly.

"Is he the young master of the Yates family?"

"He is."

She lapsed into silence for a long while and then held Gwenyth's hands tightly.

"Gwen, I don't want to sabotage you, but the Yates live in a different world from us. You might need time to consider this."

Gwenyth surely knew what her mom meant.

"Mom, I'll date him for three months to see if it works."

"Even if it works, the relationship won't end well because the two families don't match."

Ursula drooped her eyeballs and looked upset as something sad occurred to her.

"Don't take it seriously, or you'll be the only victim of the relationship. Look at me and where my miserable life and I are stuck. Having me as your bad example, how could you get close to those rich playboys?"

Gwenyth didn't want to get close to Eddison Yates, but she had no choice, for she needed money. Her family needed money.

Once she walked that step, there was no turning back.

"Mom, trust me. Give me three months. I know it well and I can handle that."

"I'm afraid you're gonna be stuck in there."

"I won't."

Tears suddenly brimmed and glimmered in Ursula's eyes because she was in worry that her daughter was going to take her path.

Back in her time, she'd fallen in love with a young master of a rich family, but it hadn't ended up pretty as she'd been abandoned even if she had two children with that man.

To this day, she still had the scene playing in her head.

When Susie, who hadn't been a month old back then, was crying in her arms, she had to hold the baby with one hand and drag the trunk with the other and carry a big bag of belongings on her back. She wished she could have the third hand to hold Gwenyth's little hand.

She asked Gwenyth to grab the pocket on one side of her trousers. The little girl did it, complaining about nothing and following her staggered steps.

Gwenyth had been two years old and just learned how to run.

Thinking about that memory and looking at Gwenyth, she was too overwhelmed to express her feelings.
