The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1813

Chapter 1813

Mona paused for a few seconds before a strained laugh escaped her lips.

“So what you re saying is Morrison was just toying with my feelings all those years? A heartbreaker, is that what you’re labeling him as? That’s your take on your own son?”

Molly kept her tone even “Not a heartbreaker, Mona Morrison’s just a clueless fool when it comes to love

Mona was speechless c2

“He doesn’t even know who he likes or loves How is he not a fool? It pains me to say this about my own son, but it’s the truth”

Mona bit her lip harder, her frustration mounting. “Who he loves or doesn’t is for him alone to know And even if it’s not me, it certainly doesn’t have to be Rose. If it weren’t for your elitist attitudes, why push me away and accept her?”

“After all those years you spent studying side by side, dating him, are you really telling me you don’t know who’s in his heart?”

A flicker of evasion crossed Mona’s gaze

“Morrison has always been good to me I never noticed him treating any other girl differently!”

Molly exhaled deeply “Look, since you’ve come uninvited today, let’s have a heart–to–heart To be honest, Mona, you come off as this pure and sweet girl, and people are drawn to that But a regular student like you managing to stay by Morrison’s side for years, even causing him to rebel against his family, it just goes to show that you’re not as simple–minded as you appear”

Tm not looking down on you. The Witts aren’t trying to force Morrison into a match that’s just about social standing. You think I was oblivious to his high school romance? Far from it I’ve been watching you two for a long time especially you”

“You’re not as kind and innocent as you seem. Mona

Mona’s eyes flickered, her expression darkened

“Morrison, with his Witt family background, what does he lack? What does he covet? Should I remind you of the series of thefts among the heiresses at your school around his birthday?”

Her cheeks flushed, and she shrank back her eyes darting away

“And that birthday party where you suddenly changed the location, causing Rose to miss celebrating with Morrison do you dare deny it?”

There’s so much more I could bring up, but I’ll spare the details. You know what you’ve done. It’s one thing for Morrison to date you, quite another for you to marry into the

Witts with ulterior motives

“But I must thank you. Your scheming against Rose only made it clearer who Morrison truly cares for”

Mona stood there her face burning with embarrassment.

“kept your secrets, not wanting to ruin your life or let everyone see Momson’s poor judgment, binding himself to someone like you for years. Even when he fought with us. left you with your dignity. And now you accuse us of looking down on you?”

“Ask yourself, even if Morrison had no feelings for Rose, do you really deserve to be with him? How will you face him and us in the future?”

Molly’s revelations left Mona reeling her darkest secrets laid bare without warning, overwhelming her with a sense of injustice.

Tears welled in her eyes, but her voice was defiant. “It was all because i loved Morrison! My family might be average, but that shouldn’t be a barner between us! And it shouldn’t give Rose an advantage to win him over! You don’t understand, I’ve been trying to bridge the gap between us..”

“That’s why I can’t approve of you and Morrison Why do you think he chose you? Because you weren’t like those other rich girls. The very gap you tried to bridge was your

biggest advantage ”

Molly maintained her composure. “Gifts can’t cover the differences between you two. Does Morrison care for such material things? That’s not how gaps are bridged. You see Rose as some arrogant heiress, but she worked part–time to save up for Morrison’s birthday gift with her own money”

“Compare yourself Who would an observer prefer? Mona, you can be poor in wealth, but not in spirit”

The room fell silent as Mona wiped the tears from her face, “it’s easy for those who’ve never worned about money to preach. I regret those things I did, but my actions don?

Molly looked at her steadily before saying, “In all the years you were with Morrison, he never laid a hand on you, did he?”

Mona was taken aback

Mona’s face was a mask of unbearable shame

A metallic taste filled her mouth

Standing there she felt exposed, stripped bare, with no right to resist

Outside the villa Rose hugged her down jacker tighter, taking a deep breath of the chilly air

The frosty breath seemed to clear her head a little

Had she really been wrong?
