Secret Wealthy Marriage
Chapter 100 - 100 100 Youre in Love

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: You’re in Love Chapter 100: Chapter 100: You’re in Love Carolline’s mood has been very good recently, and the people around her can feel it.

Emily knew what had happened just by looking at her daughter, but since she was in love, why wouldn’t Carolline tell her? Emily held back for a few days, but eventually couldn’t resist any longer.

“Carolline, come here.” After lunch, as Carolline was about to go back to her room to rest, Emily asked Henry to clean up the leftovers and called Carolline over while sitting on the sofa.

“Mom, what’s the matter?” Carolline bounced over, holding a big apple in her hand, and chewed it with a crisp crunch.

“Are you in love?” If it wasn’t for love, Emily couldn’t think of any other reason for Carolline’s current cheerful demeanor. Every time she mentioned this to Henry, he acted as if it was up to Carolline and didn’t interfere.

In the past, Emily thought Henry’s laissez-faire attitude was good, but Carolline was their only precious daughter, and his overly casual attitude made Emily feel that he didn’t care about their daughter at all.

“…” A big bite of apple got stuck in Carolline’s throat, and her face turned red. Was her recent behavior really that obvious? Recently, no fewer than three people have asked her the same question.

But how could she explain that she was in love? Were there any cases of getting married before falling in love?

And if it wasn’t for love, what could she say? That it was because she and Bryan did that thing? She wasn’t Lucy, so she had no shame to admit it.

“If you are, just say it. If not, say so. What’s so hard to admit?” Emily ran out of patience, saw Carolline not speaking, and her face getting redder. She couldn’t tell if the apple was stuck in her throat or if Emily’s question had made her shy.

“Mom, what are you talking about?” Carolline finally managed to swallow the apple stuck in her throat, glaring at Emily. She never realized her mother could be so gossiping.

“Am I talking nonsense?” Emily gave Carolline a look and continued, “You’re my daughter, how could I not notice when something is not normal with you?”

“…” Carolline was speechless. Was she really her mother’s biological daughter? When Lucy visited before, she had her suspicions, and now she wondered more if she and Lucy were switched at birth and that Lucy was actually her mother’s daughter.

Moreover, if she was really in love, it would be normal, right? How could this be an abnormal thing in her mother’s eyes?

“Tell me, which boy are you dating that has you so smug? Could it be that, as your father predicted, your wish has come true, and you’ve really won over Bryan Hawkins?” Emily crossed her legs and asked leisurely while looking tense.

She knew her daughter’s heart had long been set on Bryan, and recently she had grown close with the Hawkins Family’s grandmother, being frequently invited to have dinner at their house. She also heard that whenever Carolline visited the Hawkins Family, Bryan would stay at home to accompany her.

Could it be that there were really sparks between them?

“…Dad, look at mom. She’s talking more and more irresponsibly now.” Carolline was stunned for quite a while, not knowing how to answer Emily, and in the end, she had no choice but to call for Henry’s backup.

In a verbal duel with Emily, Carolline always ended up conceding defeat, feeling like she could be driven to hang herself at any moment.

She was really glad that her two aunts had her uncles to back them up; otherwise, if they had offended Emily, they would have minute thoughts of dying.

“Hey, I’m just saying, does it matter if I bring your dad into this?” Emily glared at her with round eyes. She was open-hearted, and Henry was honest; how did they give birth to such a cunning daughter?

How could Carolline be so roundabout in avoiding admitting the truth? She was her mother, what would it hurt to let her know about her love life?

Besides, she was already 20 years old, not 14 or 15. Would she really step in to stop her daughter from dating if she admitted to it?

“Alright, listen, even if our daughter is dating, isn’t that nice? When the time comes, you won’t have to force her; she’ll bring the guy home on her own. Why are you so eager for a result?” As a doting father, Henry considered Carolline his one and only precious daughter.

Anyone who harmed his daughter would instantly become his enemy. Similarly, anyone who treated his daughter well would be regarded as the best person in the world in his eyes.

“Hey, I’m just saying, don’t you worry?” Emily quickly turned her spearhead towards Henry, who was too calm for her liking. She always thought that it was because he knew something that made him so relaxed.

But this father-daughter duo wouldn’t reveal a word to her, not even a hint of a clue.

“That’s right, dad is right. When the time comes, I’ll bring someone home for you two to see.” Seeing that Emily had turned her attention on her dad, Carolline quickly took advantage and echoed her dad’s words.

Carolline didn’t notice that by doing so, she had indirectly admitted that her recent odd behavior was indeed due to being in love.

Henry winked mischievously at Emily, who then immediately understood – it was a father duping his daughter. Carolline was foolishly thinking her dad was on her side. Emily couldn’t help but silently laugh.

Anyway, since Carolline admitted it, Emily’s mind was at ease. As for who the suitor was, she now tended to believe her husband’s words that it was probably the Hawkins boy.

If it was really Bryan, she would be relieved. After all these years, her daughter’s wish had finally come true. As a mother, of course, she hoped that her daughter would achieve everything she wished for.

“…I’ll go back to my room first.” Only after a while did Carolline realize what she had just said and quickly retreated to her room to hide. She knew that her dad was the kind of person who would always side with her mom over her. How could she ever expect her dad to help her over her mom?

Humph, her dad was really despicable, with a face that looked so trustworthy but speaking and acting so irresponsibly.
