Chapter 500
The moment David left Celia’s house, Mindy put
down her spoon.
“What the hell happened to the two of you? How could you let David go just like that? Don’t you want to ask him what he’s doing? Jon, you too! Celia might not be that smart, but don’t you understand? David is always answering the phone behind our back these days. Now, he even left right after answering the phone. Something fishy is clearly
going on,” Mindy said angrily.
“Then why didn’t you ask?” Jon asked back.
“…” Mindy did not know how to answer for a while.
She could not speak to David in a questioning tone as before after she discovered David’s current
status and background.
However, as David’s future mother-in-law, she could not stand seeing David, the super eligible bachelor,
seemingly messing around outside.
She was deeply afraid that her daughter’s boyfriend
would end up getting stolen.
A handsome and rich man like David was simply the most eligible bachelor among the current crop.
In today’s society, there was probably not a single young woman who would be unmoved and did not want to wrap him around her finger after she
meeting him.
“Mom, David is not that kind of person. He must have had an emergency, so don’t overthink it,” Celia
said.
“Why are you still siding with him? Do you know what he’s doing outside? You’re always staying at home and you don’t even know to follow him to see what’s going on. You won’t even know who to cry to when someone steals him from you,” Mindy said, looking at Celia while feeling like she had not lived
up to her expectations.
“Alright, you are so busy every day minding your multi-billion-dollar small company. David manages such a big company with trillions of assets, so of course, there will be a lot of things going on. Isn’t it normal to have some emergencies?” Jon asked.
“Right, now that you’ve said that, I remembered that East League Capitals seems to be expanding a little fast recently and they seem to have encountered some trouble in Capital City,” Mindy thought for a
while and said.
“What kind of trouble?”
“What kind of trouble?”
Jon and Celia both asked at the same time.
“I don’t know either. I just heard from others that they might have disturbed other people’s interests because they expanded too fast. Now, they’re being targeted and the other party seems to be a big family company that’s no worse than East League Capitals. They’re an old force in Capital City too.”
“Is it serious?” Celia asked anxiously.
“I told you I’m not clear about that. It is difficult for small potatoes like us to understand the inside story of this kind of struggle between large capital groups. If you want to know, you can ask David
when he comes back.”
“I think I better not. I don’t want to cause more
trouble for him.” Celia said.
“Oh, you! How did I give birth to such a soft-hearted daughter like you? Right, you have been with David for so long, so have you ever gotten pregnant?”
Mindy asked suddenly.
“Huh?” Celia was confused. She did not know why Mindy would ask her this.
“What do you mean huh? I’m asking whether you’ve
gotten pregnant or not.”
“N-No…” Celia whispered.
“No? Are young people taking such good
precautions now?” Mindy asked curiously.
“I-It’s true!” Celia said.
“Alright, let’s do this. Ask David to move in here or you can move out to stay with him. We won’t stop you. If you get pregnant, give birth to the child. A lot of people get pregnant or had given birth when they’re still in university. You can just get married after you graduate,” Monday thought about it and said.
“Mom! What are you talking about? How could I do this?” Celia said, her face turning red.
