Chapter 859

Betty couldn’t believe her ears. Although she occasionally gave Sean verbal jabs, he was still her son.

She knew very well how talented he was.

Sean was a respected figure in the medical industry and was the best in his field. Moreover, he was from the Yates family. He was rich, handsome, and knowledgeable.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that there was a very long line of people waiting to marry him. But Gwen didn’t want to marry her son?

“Mom, just don’t ask,” Sean said, guessing what Betty’s next question was.

“I’ll deal with this myself.”

Betty didn’t believe his words. “Are you sure?”

“I would be a laughingstock if I couldn’t even get a wife on my own.”

Hearing his words, Betty happily patted Sean on the shoulder. “All right, you have ambition, as expected of my son. If you have any problems, just let me know. I’ll definitely help you.”

“All right, all right. I get it. You can leave, Mom.” Sean pushed Betty out of the study.

After Betty left, Sean shook his head helplessly. In fact, during this time, he had been thinking of ways to get Gwen to open up to him. However, he couldn’t come up with a good idea.

Meanwhile, Gwen and Caroline sat downstairs. Gwen held Caroline’s hand and asked her a lot of questions about her life here.

Caroline answered them very patiently.

In the end, Gwen couldn’t hold back her concern anymore and asked, “Carol, I heard something happened to you a few days ago. Is it true?”

“How did you know?” Caroline was stunned. Then, she thought of Sean and realized what must have happened.

Gwen knew what Caroline was thinking, but she didn’t correct her. Instead, she asked again, “Did it really happen?”

“Yeah.”

Gwen panicked. “Then … has the culprit been caught?”

“Yes, but I don’t know the particular circumstances. Mr. Y is handling it.”

“That’s good.” Gwen was relieved, but soon her chest tightened again.

“But haven’t you just arrived in Macldo? You aren’t familiar with the people or the place. How did this-”

“I happened to be visiting Aunt Mary that day…”

“Hang on.” Gwen looked at Caroline in shock. “Did you say you met Aunt Mary?”

Caroline nodded.

Gwen was even more shocked. “Then… are you okay?”

Caroline was confused. “Am I okay? Why wouldn’t I be?”

Gwen recovered from her shock. “Let’s not talk about this for now. Why were you visiting Aunt Mary?”

Marietta must have definitely been with Yvonne. There was no way Yvonne would let Caroline and Marietta interact.

“Aunt Mary invited me.” Since Caroline no longer remembered what happened over the past year, she didn’t know anything about how Yvonne had forced her and Marietta to never meet again.

Gwen frowned. This was very strange.

“Gwen.” Sean’s voice came from the second floor.

Gwen looked up. “What’s up?”

“Come upstairs for a bit. I have something to talk to you about.”

Seeing this, Caroline said with a smile, “Go ahead.”

Gwen hesitated for a moment, but she still nodded and went upstairs.

As soon as the door closed, she was pinned against it before she could say a word.

Then, she felt Sean passionately kissing her. His passion for her surged like a wave, almost making her breathless.

Sean was usually bookish, but he was so terrifyingly assertive when it came to things like these.

1 Gradually, Gwen succumbed to his advances.
