Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen by Lopez family's

Chapter 142

Across the sofa sat a classy and elegant lady, none other than Egbert’s mom, Mrs. Reed.

Mrs. Reed heaved a sigh, expressing her predicament, “Rosa, Egbert is just too…”

Rosalind shook her head, holding Mrs. Reed’s hand gently, “I know this situation is driving you nuts, Egbert is your son, your only son: Obviously, you hate to see his marriage hanging in the air like this, Josephine. I get it.”

Mrs. Reed gave a bitter smile, shaking her head with disappointment, “If only that girl was still here, that would be great…”

Rosalind cast her eyes down, her downcast face showing the pallor of post-illness.

She closed her eyes, “Whether anyone else believes it or not, I believe my daughter is still alive.”

Flossie, over there, opened her mouth at this point, “Ma’am, actually…”

Rosalind turned to her.

Flossie had her words on the tip of her tongue, but remembering her husband’s previous instructions, she shook her head and quickly changed her mind, “Never mind.”

Then, Rosalind turned back to Mrs. Reed, “This so-called engagement, in fact, it’s just a casual remark from the elders. Since Egbert has told me himself that he has someone he likes, as an elder, I should bless him naturally. I’ll make the decision to call off the engagement.”

Mrs. Reed said, “Rosa…”

Rosalind shook her head, “Don’t say anymore, Josephine. We’ve held him back for too long. I should have agreed to it months ago, but I was ill and bedridden. Now that I’m out of the hospital, I immediately called you over. Josephine, let’s just leave it at that. These two kids, in this lifetime, there’s no chance…”

Mrs. Reed closed her lips tightly.

Rosalind then asked with a smile, “Have you met Egbert’s crush?”

Mrs. Reed was stunned for a moment, gave a bitter smile and shook her head, “I’ve been doing business abroad and hardly see my husband and son even once a year. If you hadn’t called me over today, I wouldn’t have known that he has someone he likes. Rosa/how did Egbert tell you?”

Rosalind thought for a moment, “He didn’t give much details. He just mentioned that he met her at work, a véry interesting girl, and he wants to get to know her better.”

At this point, Flossie suddenly spoke, “Was it during the filming of Traveller 5+1?”

Both Rosalind and Mrs. Reed turned to her.

Mrs. Reed asked, “Flossie, do you know anything about that?”

Flossie immediately shook her head, “I don’t know.”
