Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1469

“I’ve heard that you’re not actually boyfriend and girlfriend yet,” Ursula Siebeech-Jaark calmly said. “What a relief. He’s going to leave the country with me, to expand his career soon. Things would be quite tricky if he really had a girlfriend in this country. Besides… You’re both from completely different social classes. It won’t end well for you, Miss Cox.”

Robin finally lost control and went very pale in the face. She wasn’t sure what to say.

Just then, Sylvain emerged from the washroom. Ursula switched to a warm, genial expression again. “Syl, what took you so long?”

Sylvain glanced at Robin and replied, “I was answering a call. It’s nothing.”

Robin bit her lip. The current situation made her feel as if she were sitting on pins and needles. It was obvious that she wouldn’t be able to enjoy her meal now, so she got up and said, “I have a family emergency, so I’ve gotta go, Sylvain. Please enjoy your meal with M—I mean, your mom.”

Sylvain wasn’t sure of what had happened, but he knew that this was an inappropriate set-up. After all, he did not preempt Robin on Ursula’s arrival, so her awkwardness was expected. That’s why he didn’t stop her. “I’ll walk you out?”

Robin snatched up her bag and shook her head. “No need, I’ll be just fine on my own.”

She finally released the suffering on her face when she left the restaurant. Why was this happening? Did Sylvain ask her out today to say goodbye to her? Did he ask his mother to do it because he felt uncomfortable doing it himself?

Sylvain frowned. “That has nothing to do with you. Stop butting into my business.”

Ursula looked wounded. “Syl, how could you treat your mother this way? I’m your mother. There’s no bond in this world closer than ours. I know that you resent me for neglecting you after all these years, but I had no choice. I was so far away, I didn’t even tell my husband that I had a son at first. I couldn’t even take care of myself at the time. I finally told him about you after many years. My husband didn’t mind. He even wanted to hire you as chief fashion designer in our company. I thought it was a good idea, but you refused to come. Do you have any idea how I feel after you rejected me? It’s been so many years, yet my husband and I have been unable to conceive another child. It’s because he doesn’t want to. Which means that if we divorce one day, I’d be completely helpless. Have a heart for your mom, would you? You’re the only one I can rely on now.”

Sylvain felt disgusted. He hated being manipulated like this. It felt suffocating. “Shut up. Whatever happens to you has nothing to do with me. Just like how you never cared when I was suffering. You shouldn’t have contacted me at all. I would have pretended as if you don’t exist. If you’re really doing this for my own good, you shouldn’t have come looking for me. You’ll only disrupt my life. Are you going to finish your meal? If not, please leave.”
