Chapter 813
Bogus Billionaire
Along with the yell, countless petals fell to the ground. They scattered on the floor, forming a very romantic scene.
Caroline followed the trail of petals and saw a huge cake in the living room. The words âWelcome, Carolineâ were written on the cake.
âThis must be Caroline.â A luxuriously dressed woman walked over. She took Carolineâs hand and looked her over.
Sean tried to speak up several times, but he couldnât get a chance.
âWow, youâre so beautiful. My son has really good taste. Carrie ⦠Can I call you Carrie?â
Only then did Caroline realize that this woman was Seanâs mother, Betty Curry. Moreover, she seemed to have misunderstood the situation.
Caroline said, âMrs. Yates Senior, I-Iâm not Mr. Yatesâ girlfriend.â
As soon as she said that, Betty immediately looked at Sean. Sean shrugged. âSheâs really not my girlfriend. Besides, i told you Iâm bringing a female friend home. How did you think she was my girlfriend?â
Betty looked at her son with disdain. âYouâre almost 30 years old, but youâve never brought a girl home.
Since this is your first time bringing a girl home, you canât blame us for overthinking things.â
As Betty spoke, she looked at Caroline with a smile. âCarrie, do you have a boyfriend? How did you and Sean meet? What do you think of Sea-â
Before she could finish her words, Sean dragged her to the balcony. âDonât even think about it, Mom.
She canât be my girlfriend.â
âWhy not? Donât all boys and girls get together eventually?â
âSheâs Kirkâs wife.â
Betty was speechless for a moment. After a while, she said, âThat doesnât sound right. If sheâs really Kirkâs wife, she should be with the Morrisons and not with you. Are you lying to me?â
âMom, the entire situation is a bit complicated. At any rate, remember this-never mention Kirk around her! Remember!â
Sean was rarely serious. Seeing this, Betty had no choice but to agree.
âOkay, I got it. I canât believe you kids. You donât say anything when I ask whatâs going on. Ugh, I donât have âNope.â
âThen, Iâm going back in to talk to Caroline. Itâs okay to talk, right?â
Sean said, âYeah.â
With her sonâs consent, Betty happily approached Caroline. âCarrie, Iâm really sorry for what happened just now. I misunderstood your relationship.â As she spoke, she led Caroline to sit on the couch.
âItâs okay, Mrs. Yates Senior. I should be thanking you. I may have to disturb you by staying here for a while.â
âItâs good that youâre here. I get to have some company,â Betty said. Then, she asked the maids to cut some cake for Caroline.
When Sean saw this, a smile appeared on his face. If his mother could accept Caroline, she would definitely accept Gwen. However, he didnât know when he could become official with Gwen.
Caroline almost overate under Bettyâs warm reception. Fortunately, Sean came to her rescue and asked her to get some rest on the second floor.
After Caroline went upstairs, Sean said to his mother impatiently, âMom, youâre going to scare her away if you act like this.â
âWhat do you know?â
Betty asked someone to put away the dishes. Then, she patted the seat next to her and said, âCome on, youâve been in Easton with Kirk for over a year. Tell me. How have you been doing?â
Sean mercilessly exposed her intentions. âDo you really want to know how I spent my year or if I have a girlfriend?â
âHey, you-â
Betty raised an eyebrow. âFine, youâre right. Do you have a girlfriend?â
âYes.â
Betty was over the moon when she heard his response.
