Chapter 467: Chapter 467: He Is Nothing but a Joke (1)
The next day.
Rhoda Kensington went to the master bedroom early in the morning.
At that time, Vincent Hawthorne had just left, and Susan Kensington was sitting in front of the vanity, doing her makeup.
Seeing Rhoda, Susan couldn’t help teasing, "You’re here quite early today. It seems our Rhoda is truly anxious and can’t wait any longer."
Rhoda’s face turned red instantly. She picked up a pair of pearl earrings and handed them over, "Aunt, you just love making fun of me."
"Indeed, our big girl is getting shy." Susan took the earrings and put them on her ears. After tidying herself up, she pulled Rhoda to sit on the sofa next to her, "You performed very well yesterday. Your uncle praised you a lot. Before leaving, he even specifically instructed me to enroll you in more courses for young ladies. It seems he truly likes you."
Rhoda’s eyes immediately brightened, "Really? Uncle finally sees me?"
Susan looked at Rhoda, who appeared as happy as a child, and smiled with pursed lips, "Of course. If he still doesn’t pay attention to you this time, I’ll really leave home and let him guard this empty house alone!"
"No, that’s not right." Rhoda shook her head repeatedly. She held Susan’s hand sincerely, "Aunt, I really want to marry Elias, but it must not affect your marriage and happiness."
Hearing this, Susan’s eyes filled with amusement.
She patted Rhoda’s head, scolding gently, "Silly child. Don’t worry, it’s not as serious as you think. Have you forgotten? I still have Felix. As long as I don’t betray Vincent, I can hold the position of Mrs. Hawthorne firmly."
"That’s good." Rhoda sighed in relief, then revealed a bashful smile, "I always get so restless, making you laugh at me."
Susan raised her hand to stroke Rhoda’s hair, her expression becoming even more gentle.
Just then, Susan’s phone rang. She glanced at the number on the screen and then answered.
The more she listened, the darker her face became. After hanging up, she couldn’t help but curse, "Claire North, that fool!"
Rhoda was taken aback and asked, "Aunt, what’s happened?"
"It’s that fool Claire North! She’s been tricked into revealing that she’s not Baby’s biological mother!"
"Did someone find out?" Rhoda’s face also turned pale. "Does that mean Elias will soon marry Baby’s biological mother?"
"Nonsense!" Susan couldn’t help scolding, "I just praised you for your cleverness, and now you’re being foolish again."
"I..." Rhoda bit her lower lip, her expression filled with anxiety.
Susan’s tone calmed down, "Don’t worry. As long as you behave, I’ll make sure you marry Elias Hawthorne!"
After speaking, Susan picked up her handbag and left.
Watching Susan’s hurriedly departing figure, Rhoda was filled with uncertainty. Really? Could she truly marry Elias Hawthorne smoothly?
...
Screech——
Beau Shelby slammed down on the accelerator, and the speeding car stopped abruptly, the tires screeching sharply against the ground.
Due to inertia, Beau’s forehead slammed heavily into the steering wheel.
"Hiss..."
He clutched his swollen forehead, unable to suppress a cry of pain, but soon he started laughing.
The more he laughed, the louder it became.
How could he not laugh? All these years, he had been a joke.
A massive joke.
What was more pitiful was that whether he was happy or angry, nobody cared anymore.
In his mind suddenly appeared a gentle and soft smiling face. When she looked at him, her eyes sparkled, hiding shyness and affection deep down.
When he looked over, she immediately put on a serious expression, even her smile turned reserved. After he looked away, she would secretly start watching him again.
