Chapter 382
At midnight.
The room was in a chaotic mess, and Juniper was sitting in Carter’s arms, caressing his neck with her fingertip.
“It seems that your mother likes me very much. She even kept me at your place today.” Juniper sounded a little proud and moved even closer to Carter, “Are we going to get married soon? Congratulations, you’ve finally acquired me.”
“Oh, really?” Carter smirked. “Baby, my mother might like you very much, but your mother doesn’t like me at all, so you might have to wait for a little longer.”
Juniper remained silent for a while. She had not gone back to the Wight Manor all this time. Her mother had been calling her every day, but she had not picked up any one of those calls. She did not know if she was being unfilial, but she could not accept that her mother was trying to stop her from being with Carter.
She could not understand why her mother would stop her when she had finally listened to her advice and given up on Rickard.
‘Carter treats me so well. It may not be common for a p*ayboy to turn his life around, but it isn’t impossible. At first, I only compromised because of that night, but after seeing how kind Carter is, I feel like I was truly blind for loving Rickard back then.’
“I’ll definitely find a way. And if my mother still doesn’t agree, we’ll get married in secret.”
“Ah–”
Carter was a little surprised. He then lowered his head, kissed Juniper, and chuckled as the night was filled with a hint of intimacy.
“I love you, baby.”
As the end of the winter approached, people could finally leave their workload aside for a few days.
Hesper sent Roberto to the airport. He gave her his address in Fredonia before he boarded the plane, looking forward to seeing her next time.
Because she had already returned to Emperion during New Year’s Eve, Hesper did not plan to go back again during spring break. Firstly, it was troublesome to go back and forth in such a short time, and secondly, she was not in the mood to travel.
