Carle looked at Holly in confusion. Then, he realized something and said, “I don’t care that she was married to another man. Instead, I view it as a blessing that she is willing to be with me.”
Holly did not know what to say.
“If anyone gossips about us, I will show them how much I love Liz and how proud I am to marry her. It’s never about whether Liz is worthy of me,” Carle replied in a gentle tone but was firm in his stance.
Seeing how deeply he loved Elisa, Holly felt even sadder for her son.
She could not resist a sigh and shook her head. “I wasn’t talking about that. Do I seem that old-fashioned?”
Carle was puzzled. “Oh, what were you talking about then?”
Holly sighed with resignation and said slowly, “I know about the matter between you and Liz. She feels guilty about rejecting you previously and causing you to get involved in the car accident. That’s why she kept apologizing to your father and me. But Carle, have you considered why she agreed to be with you?”
Carle’s expression changed.
He looked at Holly and paused briefly before saying, “Mom, what are you trying to say?”
Carle’s mother had not said much after discovering that he and Elisa had gotten together. However, he now noticed the conflicting emotions in her eyes.
Furthermore, she suddenly brought up Elisa and him.
Holly could not help but sigh. “I’m concerned about you. At the same time, I feel this matter is unfair to both of you.”
Carle pursed his lips and remained silent. He knew what his mother wanted to say. Furthermore, he had been feeling nervous and insecure these few days. He feared what he thought would become real. If that happened, he did not know what he would do.
Holly noticed her son’s reaction and did not continue talking. She sighed helplessly.
