See You Never, Mr. Lamont by Coral

Chapter 182 I Promise You

“I just heard them say that your mother–in–law seems to be on her last legs…”

་་

Upon hearing these words, Claudia’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, she was still at a loss when the moment of truth finally arrived.

“I am going now.”

Claudia hurriedly changed into a set of lightweight dark clothes and

headed out.

Horace’s mother happened to be waiting outside the door. She saw Claudia leaving without even looking back, furrowing her brows. She said to Horace, “Clearly divorced and still so concerned about another family, carrying someone else’s child in her belly. I can see that this girl doesn’t care about you at all.”

“I never really cared.” Horace smiled, his eyes cool and clear. “It has always been unrequited love from my side.”

Upon hearing these words, Horace’s mother’s breath caught, and her face immediately darkened. “Unrequited love, you actually have unrequited love for a woman like her?”

“How come you’ve fallen in love with her so quickly after just a few days in Wyvernport?” The mother, who hadn’t seen her son in a relationship for years, had once doubted if he even liked women.

When she found out that he had developed feelings for Seraphina, she

not only didn’t mind, but actually felt very happy about it. Even though this woman had been divorced, she was not a traditional person, and her family valued the benefits that would come from the union of the two families.

But later it was revealed that Claudia was pregnant and involved with several men, which crossed her bottom line.

The Ferguson family never allowed others to raise children in their home.

Horace remained silent, his eyes flickered briefly, offering no explanation

Outside the hotel, when Edmond drove out of the underground parking lot in his Maybach, Claudia happened to come out as well.

The car stopped in front of Claudia, the car window rolled down, revealing Edmond’s handsome and charming face.

“Get in the car.”

Without hesitation, Claudia opened the door and sat inside.

“How is mom?” Claudia asked anxiously, her heart pounding.
