President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 552

Thinking of her mother’s illness and what Derek had said to her before, Laura only felt sad.

So she softened her tone and said, “Max, what happened between us has nothing to do with my mom. Please, I’m begging you, don’t make things difficult for her and send her back, alright?”

“She doesn’t feel well and can’t suffer more troubles. Tell me whatever you want. And I’ll do as you like, but don’t drag my mom into it.”

Max, however, wasn’t happy to hear that.

He didn’t understand why Laura still refused to be honest with him and rejected him even though he now learned everything.

In the old days, he could see that Laura pushed him away because she was unwilling to let him know about her past. But now he knew it all.

She could almost solve everything by being his girlfriend, but she still refused to do so.

Why?

Max understood that it might be hard for Laura to tell him anything, but he couldn’t figure out what she was thinking without her help no matter how hard he tried. So he forced her to tell him again and again.

He only hoped that she could tell him her real thoughts when she was forced to a dead end.

He knew she had feelings for him and she didn’t really love Isaac.

That man...

He was ridiculous!

Max sneered.

“Sure, promise me something and I'll send Mrs. Davies back.”

“OK, what is it?” Laura agreed at once.

All she wanted now was that her mother could be back to her side. She didn’t want any accidents to happen.

“Leave Isaac and be my girlfriend. I can give you anything he can offer.” Max knew what she was thinking and said in a cold tone.

Laura was stunned by his words.

She stiffened and clenched her fists so fiercely that her nails almost went into her flesh.

After a long while of silence, she said in a hoarse voice, “Max, why? There are countless women in this world waiting in line to be your girlfriend. Why does it have to be me?”

“I just want to live a simple ordinary life. Why couldn’t you just let me?”

Max sneered, “If I say no, will you say yes?”

Laura fell into silence again.

“Well, looks like I might have to say yes?”

Upon hearing that, Max knew she agreed.

But he somehow wasn’t happy at all. He should be happy, but Laura sounded helpless and forced.

He couldn’t ignore the hatred and reluctance in her tone.

In the end, he took a deep breath and said, “Great, come to St. Peter's Hospital. Someone will be there to pick you up.”

The next second, he hung up the phone.

Afterward, he stood there quietly looking at the hustle and bustle of the city outside the window, he thought to himself: Laura, you keep telling me to leave you alone. I can do that. But what about me? Have you ever thought about me?
