Chapter 1550 Crossing The Line
After Harvey sent Sonia to the campus, he didn’t return to the apartment immediately. Instead, he called Arielle to ask her what a pregnant woman could eat to get energy if she was unable to tolerate eating normal food due to nausea.
He listed down the food Arielle told him and went to the supermarket to buy them. When he left the building, he was holding two bags of food. Just as he returned to Sonia, he saw an older woman pulling her, which made him angry.
‘‘Who are you?’‘ Kelly glared at the man who had appeared out of nowhere. ‘‘This is my daughter. What I’m doing to her doesn’t concern you!’‘
Harvey was stunned. He didn’t expect the older woman to be Sonia’s mother and his future mother-in-law. Why am I so unlucky? I’ve already offended my future mother-in-law on the first day I met her!
However, when he saw the pain in Sonia’s eyes, his heart ached. So what if she’s Sonia’s mother? A mother shouldn’t be treating her daughter like that!
‘‘I’m her friend!’‘ He calmed down and spoke seriously. ‘‘Sonia may be your daughter, but she’s also her own person with her own thoughts. Can’t you see the way you’re treating her is hurting her and making the gap between the two of you wider?’‘
‘‘Friend? What friend? Why don’t I know she has a friend like you?’‘ Kelly stared at him unkindly. Clearly, she didn’t buy his lie.
Slowly, she became certain he was one of Sonia’s admirers. After all, her daughter was elegant and graceful, so of course, there were a bunch of men who wanted to court her. Upon determining him as one of them, she coldly ordered, ‘‘I don’t care what kind of friend you are. You better stay away from my daughter. She’s not someone you can be together with.’‘
With that, she left. Sonia’s eyes had turned red as she was thoroughly pissed off by her mother.
At that moment, she kind of looked like a rabbit in Harvey’s eyes. His heart ached as he gently pulled Sonia into his embrace and patted her head. ‘‘No need to be sad. I’ll be there to support you if you need help.’‘
She suddenly felt peaceful as she listened to his strong and steady heartbeats while in his embrace.
However, they were at the campus entrance. Therefore, it was rather embarrassing for her to hug him in front of so many people. She immediately escaped from his embrace and suggested, ‘‘You should head back. I still need to attend my classes.’‘
