Just as Louis was puzzled, Jane, who he had been behind him, suddenly reached out and pulled the man's arm, explaining in a warm voice. "Madam really didn't do anything to me just now. She even said she could accept me for your sake."
In fact, when Louis came back just now and suddenly protected her behind him, Jane was shocked.
She knew this man loved her but never thought he would confront his mother for her sake.
It was at this moment that she suddenly realized her feelings for him.
Unconsciously, she had slowly fallen in love with Louis.
At this moment, Louis standing in front of the woman heard these words and instantly froze on the spot.
His mother could accept Jane for his sake?
In his impression, his mother has always been strong-willed and stubborn about everything. She has never listened to anyone else before.
But why did she come specially to the villa today to say these things to Jane?
Sitting on the opposite sofa with a calm face at this time, Eve saw through her son's doubts at a glance and sighed helplessly.
"It's Martha."
Louis frowned slightly and looked at Eve with obvious inquiry in his eyes. What does it have to do with Martha?
The next second, Eve explained it all for Louis.
"Martha called me many times until I agreed."
"I think what she said is right. Life is short. If there isn't someone you love by your side forever, the rest of your life will be dull."
Especially after seeing how much of a walking corpse Louis has been over these five years, she is more certain that she can no longer stop them from being together anymore.
Moreover, she believes that anyone Martha is willing to speak up for won't be too bad. So, she wants to give Jane a chance, to try understanding and accepting this girl whom Louis loves so much.
After saying all these words, Eve elegantly picked up the teacup placed in front of her, and took a sip from it lightly.
Louis standing opposite heard these words, his eyebrows furrowed, and his blue eyes became even deeper.
After a while, his low voice echoed throughout the hall. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood my mother." Upon hearing those words, Eve's face immediately softened quite a bit.
She glanced at Louis, feeling grateful that she had chosen to slowly accept Jane instead of constantly rejecting her. Otherwise, their relationship might have deteriorated further.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke up. "Just because I can accept Jane doesn't mean I'm willing to accept someone else's daughter into the Caesar family."
Becoming a count was not an easy feat for Louis, and she believed he understood the importance of adding legitimate heirs to the family tree. A child born out of wedlock with another man did not qualify for entry into the Count's mansion!
Louis furrowed his brows slightly and his face darkened. The next second, he spoke in a low yet firm voice, "Vivian is my daughter."
"Louis!" Eve couldn't control her anger anymore and shouted.
She knew Louis liked Jane and was willing to compromise. But why did he want to bring that wild child back with him just for one woman? Did he understand what it meant? As long as Vivian existed, there would always be a stain in Louis' life.
Her son had done nothing wrong; how could he endure such humiliation?
Eve felt displeased and even lost some of her good feelings towards Jane.
Meanwhile, Jane stood frozen behind Louis when she heard all this. She knew Louis loved her and was willing to accept Vivian too but didn't expect him to want to bring Vivian back to the Caesar family.
At this moment, everything became clear. This man had made such a big compromise for her sake! He even treated someone else's daughter as if she were his own...
Jane pursed her lips tightly as everything before them seemed too unbelievable now.
