Chapter 1766 That Would Be Great
I thought Ashton would reply immediately, but he did not.
It took him five minutes to reply: That would be great.
What’s great? Remarry?
I wondered if he really meant it or if there was a hidden meaning behind those words of his.
All of a sudden, my heart missed a beat, and I felt restless. Picking up my phone, I went to the balcony.
After waiting for a while, there was still no reply from him. Soon, I lost my patience and typed on my phone again: What do you mean?
For the whole night, I felt uneasy. Worried that I might miss his reply, I did not dare to sleep soundly.
However, there was no reply from him after that.
The next morning, I heard my phone ringing in a daze and jolted out of bed reflexively. It turned out to be my alarm. I had promised Audrey to make breakfast for her in the morning last night.
Feeling disappointed, I went to the bathroom and washed myself up.
Unexpectedly, after I sent the kids to school, Nathaniel’s car stopped in front of me.
However, it was Nora who came down from the car.
Wearing a grimace, she rushed over and slapped me in the face.
“Why are you always going against me?”
Because of the stinging sensation on my face, I finally regained my senses.
Nevertheless, the only thing I cared about now was Nathaniel’s movement. Unwilling to waste time on her, I looked at her calmly and questioned impatiently, “Do you know that you look like a shrew now?”
Nora had been a sophisticated and sensible woman. No one would have ever related her to the word shrew, but her act of hitting someone without any reason now was simply barbaric.
“It’s all because of you! Even if we have a different stance right now, I’ve never hurt you. I only wanted to stay by Nathaniel’s side and get back my son. You’re a mother as well, so you should understand my feelings. But why do you have to destroy all my plans?”
Confused, I asked, “When did I ruin your plans?”
“You exposed my purpose of buttering him up in front of him!”
My mind went blank for a moment. After a while, I realized that she was angry because of what had happened last night. They probably had a conflict after getting home.
My original intention was to stimulate Nathaniel. I did not know that I would hurt her by mistake. “I’m sorry. I didn’t have time to think about the situation at that time. If I’ve caused you harm, I’ll try my best to make it up to you.”
“Make it up to me? Nathaniel has chased me away, and I can no longer use his resources to find my son. What can you do to make it up to me?”
It seemed that Nathaniel was indeed affected by what I had said.
Since it all started because of me, I could understand why she was so furious. Pondering over the situation, I suggested, “Even if Nathaniel wants to look for someone, he will need help from Holden, and Holden owes me a favor. I can ask him to look for your son. As long as your son is still alive, he’ll be able to find him.”
“One hundred percent?” Nora queried doubtfully.
In response, I shook my head. “Even saints make mistakes. There’s no guarantee that he’ll definitely find your son.”
“You don’t even know if Holden can find my son, but you want me not to blame you for messing with my life? After being with Ashton for such a long time, your ability to set people up has improved, huh?” Nora remarked sarcastically.
Both of us had taken different paths in life. It would be a waste of time to continue arguing with her. “Apart from this, do you have a better choice? Kill me to vent your anger? Do you think Ashton and the Stovall family will let you off easily? Nora, let us both take a step back and let go of each other. In the future, you’ll know that it’s a good thing that you’ve left Nathaniel.”
