Upon hearing Sophia's words, Elise was especially shocked. Why was her mother mumbling to herself?
"Mom, why did you talk to him? Why are you suddenly treating him so well?" Elise was confused.
Even if he was their business partner, her mother would definitely hate Chuck nonetheless!
After all, Chuck almost made an unreasonable request to her mother previously.
She knew that her mother must secretly hate Chuck. She was just forced to cooperate with him.
"No, didn't I already tell you? He's your benefactor," Sophia shook her head and replied vaguely.
"But, Mom, he told me that he wanted to sleep with you in front of me back then..." Elise reminded her.
What was wrong with her mother??
She was acting strange.
Elise herself couldn't figure out what was wrong with her mother.
"Elise, that's enough. Listen to me, okay? Chuck is my business partner. He has potential. That's why I've changed my attitude towards him," Sophia caressed her daughter's hair gently.
"He..." Elise pursed her lips and grumbled, "What kind of potential does he have?"
She was well aware of Chuck's ability despite saying so.
Previous in the Amazon, she had Chuck locked up and confined. Any normal person would have been at their wits' end, but Chuck was resilient. Despite having a head injury, he still managed to take her hostage and escape into the depths of the forest!
In addition, he had kept his cool and was expressionless throughout his escape into the forest.
This was not something that ordinary people could manage.
"Okay, Mom, I won't say anymore. Even if I fight with him, I won't go overboard," Elise smiled faintly, an indication that she really agreed with her mother's proposal.
"Good," After listening to Elise, Sophia was relieved. There was a voice in her heart pestering her to ask a question to her daughter.
"Elise," Sophia was helping Elise straighten out her locks.
"Mom, are you okay?" Elise was astonished. It was rare for her mother to act like this.
She seemed to be at a loss.
"I'm good. I'm just wondering, will you be able to accept me having a boyfriend?" Sophia couldn't even come clean.
She felt guilty over what she had done to Chuck. She had been drugged and she had refused to let him go. As an elder, it was her fault that this happened to her and Chuck.
This was too serious of a matter. She couldn't keep it in.
She couldn't even keep it a secret in front of her beloved daughter.
"A boyfriend?" Elise was surprised.
Of course she could accept that fact!
Since young, she had known that Sophia was lonely ever since her divorce. As her daughter, she couldn’t bear to leave her mother alone.
After all, Sophia still looked perfect and gorgeous. Men would swoon over her! As long as she was willing to, the number of her suitors was simply uncountable.
Furthermore, she was rich and had a nice figure, as well as a unique charm. It was something that all men liked, wasn't it?
However, Sophia had always rejected them.
She was particularly reluctant to start another relationship.
As her daughter, Elise didn't want Sophia to be so lonely. She had tried helping her mother by carefully selecting and introducing several high-quality men to her mother.
However, Sophia had refused her directly.
Thus, Elise couldn't do anything about it!!
Now, did Sophia suddenly meet her Mr. Right?
If that was true, Elisa would be glad for her mother's happiness.
"No, that's not it. We're just..." Sophia was at a loss. She thought of the time when she was with Chuck.
"Just what?" Elise was thrilled.
"Nothing. Does that mean you'll accept our relationship?" Sophia was especially downcast. Why did she even ask this in the first place?
"Yes, of course! Mom, when will you bring him to see me?" Elise could not wait anymore.
Judging by the duo's taste, someone of Sophia's taste would be a muscular, tall and handsome man. In addition, he'd have to possess a manly demeanor and also great intelligence to be able to be a good match to Sophia.
Elise was pretty sure of it.
How was Sophia going to answer her daughter? It wasn't like she could call Chuck over.
In addition, even if he came, she would not dare to introduce him to Elise!
"Mom, why don't you tell me? You want to give me a surprise, don't you? Are you secretly married?" Elise asked expectantly.
