Chapter 660 It Never Rains But It Pours
“Honey,” June called out.
Cassie took her sunglasses off and cocked her brows before replying with a sneer, “Ah, it’s the male lead of the currently trending video on the internet. How does it feel to be famous in Chanaea as a foreigner? Anyway, please leave my house now and don’t pass your bad luck to me.”
June’s expression soured when he heard that.
“Honey, I’m your fiancé, after all. Do you have to be so sarcastic? You don’t look pretty anymore when you say such stuff,” the man replied after composing himself.
Cassie put on her sunglasses again, blocking her piercing gaze, before chiding, “You’re crazy.” After saying that, she turned around and walked away.
June quickly trailed behind her, and the two of them entered the living room one after another
Elizabeth was sitting on the sofa while listening to a young maid updating her on matters of the household. When the woman saw June, her expression darkened at once before dismissing the maid with a wave, “All right, got it. You may leave first.”
The maid nodded before walking away.
“Mrs. Yard, I’m here to visit you. This is a gift which I’ve specially prepared for you. Please take a look and see if you like it,” June said politely before stepping forward and placing the present on the table. He was behaving just like before, as if the online scandal had not happened.
Observing the man’s pretentious behavior, Cassie scoffed, “You’re such a good actor. No wonder you managed to hook up with the daughter of the Larson family. It’s indeed advantageous to be charming.”
Elizabeth glanced at her daughter before pointing at the sofa opposite her and said, “June, take a seat.”
June walked over to the sofa and sat down with his hands clasped together and a serious expression on his face.
“June, what brings you here today?” Elizabeth asked in a formal tone as if she was prepared to enter into negotiations with the man.
“Mrs. Yard, I am not going to make up any excuse for what happened between Jennifer and me. I’ve indeed made a mistake, but the situation was that we were both drunk, and the staff members of the club had mistaken us for a couple and arranged for us to stay in the same room. However, it was a fact that we had slept together, and I had let Cassie down. If you would give me a chance, I would use the rest of my life to love Cassie and make up for it,” June said sincerely, gazing into Elizabeth’s eyes.
After listening to the man’s speech, Elizabeth’s expression softened.
If June had bombarded them with sweet nothings instead, the woman would not have hesitated to chase him out of the house. However, because of the sincere apology that he had offered, she could feel herself relenting.
All Elizabeth wanted was for her daughter to marry a man from a good family who truly loved and cared for her.
“June, I was really upset when I saw your video earlier on. I really don’t understand why you would get intimate with another woman. Would you be able to give me a clear explanation?” Even though Elizabeth was already feeling much better, she was not about to forgive the man that easily.
“Mrs. Yard, I swear that that woman and I have got nothing to do with each other at all. It was purely an accident that we ended up on the same bed, which led to that incident. I don’t wish to defend myself any further, but I just want you to know that Cassie is the only woman I love,” June replied seriously.
Elizabeth merely looked at the man with a scrutinizing gaze and kept quiet.
Just then, Cassie let out a few mocking chuckles and said, “June, really? Can you be any more pretentious?”
June pressed his lips together when he heard that.
After clearing her throat a few times, Elizabeth said, “Cassie, could you go upstairs for a while? There’s something I want to talk to June about.”
“Mom…”
