Chapter 250 Are There Any Chaste Men?
Susan seemed to understand what Ingrid said, but she also felt confused.
“What should I do?” Susan gained some confidence, as if something was slowly filling her heart. She was no longer as confused as before.
“Susan, you are so beautiful, and you are shining. You should let Simon notice you.” Bending down, Ingrid almost touched Susan’s cheek as she said. Before Susan’s eyes sparkled, Ingrid turned around. “But…”
Upon hearing it, Susan got nervous. “But what?”
“But it’s too late for you to do this now! You were too humble before, so Simon doesn’t care about you anymore. No matter what you do now, he won’t change his original impression. Besides, you have an unknown enemy in front of you now, You are pressed for time, so it’s not suitable for you to do this.”
Letting go of her hand, Ingrid straightened up and sat in front of the dressing table before slowly applying her hand
cream.
Ingrid paid attention to her maintenance she took care of every part of her body at a moderate pace, so Ingrid’s skin was tender. She was not beautiful. Especially compared to susan, she was even more ordinary. However, Ingrid’s skin was fair and delicate. In this aspect, Susan was interior to her.
Seeing that Ingrid lowered her head to seriously apply her hand cream in silence, Susan became anxious. “Then what should I do? Didn’t you say that it wasn’t something big? Even if they are married, they may divorce. What’s more, it is only an engagement. You said it was too late What exactly did you mean?
Ingrid turned to look at Susan and sighed, “There is a solution, but I’m afraid you won’t dare to.”
“Why?” Susan felt that as long as she could be with Simon, she would dare to do anything.
“Is that true?” Raising her eyebrows, Ingrid turned around to face Susan and sat down. Ingrid smiled as she said, “Why are you so confused? Simon is so important. How big of a matter is it for him to get married? He cannot decide on his own. There are so many elders and relatives in the Palmer family. Have they all agreed? This is just like an election campaign. If you fight for more votes, it’ll be much easier than pleasing Simon.”
Susan was listening seriously, but after hearing what Ingrid said, she shook her head in disappointment. “No, Ingrid, you don’t understand Simon at all, nor do you understand the Palmer family.”
Ingrid was puzzled.
“My family or other big families may be like this. But the Palmer family is not!” Susan looked up into the distance, her thoughts drifting away. “The head of the Palmer family is Simon. I know how difficult it is for him to sit in this position. He has many elders, but he will not listen to his elders. In other words, no one in the Palmer family can influence Simon’s decision.
“So, no one dares to challenge Simon in the Palmer family.” Therefore, when Simon decided to get engaged, it meant that he would get his way. No one could change the outcome.
When Susan mentioned Simon, her face was filled with fascination. Ingrid listened to Susan’s description and felt that it was inconceivable.
Ingrid had seen Simon twice. He was extremely handsome, but he was too cold to be approached. Ingrid greeted Simon twice, but he didn’t remember her.
The Petersen family was rich and powerful. Ingrid had been growing up in such an environment since she was young. She was clear about how scheming the world was and that it was not easy to survive.
For example, Ingrid’s uncle, Declan, was the real head of the Petersen family. Her father, Shawn Petersen, had shares in the company, and there were many industries under his name. But Shawn had to listen to Declan.
Ingrid was a girl, so what if she was capable? In the Petersen family, the one who was valued was Declan’s son, who was a good-for-nothing.
Everyone had to weigh the pros and cons to doing anything. They had to be restrained. Even Declan was no exception. As the head of the family, he had to listen to the opinions of others and could not do everything as he pleased. Ingrid thought that all the aristocratic families were like this. She never thought that there would be an exception.
Susan said that no one could stop Simon from doing anything, and no one dared to express objections. Simon could do as he pleased. This was what Ingrid had been pursuing and yearning for.
Could there be such a person in this world?
“Ingrid…” After calling Ingrid a few times, Susan turned around and found that Ingrid was in a daze. Suman pulled Ingrid a few times before Ingrid responded. “What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing.” Shaking her head, Ingrid asked, “Do you mean that if you want to be with Simon, you have to get him to say yes? Is that the only way?”
“Of course! Otherwise, why am I so bothered?” Susan pouted as she played with her fingers.
Susan sighed and knew Ingrid wouldn’t be able to come up with any ideas. At best, Ingrid could only comfort her.
“Then tell me, what did you get after all the effort?”
“Simon gave me a lot of things, such as bags, clothes, and jewelry, but they were all gifts during festivals or birthdays. His gifts are quite expensive, but I don’t like the style…”
Before Susan could finish, Ingrid interrupted her, “I didn’t ask this! Do you care about those things?”
“Then…”
“I’m asking you how many times you have kissed him. Have you hugged him or done that thing?” Ingrid covered half of her face while whispering.
Ingrid opened her eyes wide and saw Susan blush. Susan pounded Ingrid twice with all her might. “Ah! What are you talking about? How … can you say such things?”
In Susan’s eyes, Ingrid was graceful. She usually spoke in a gentle and soft voice, and she had never gone too far. Susan never expected that Ingrid would say this.
“I’m trying to help you out, but you blame me.” Ingrid shook her head. “Don’t tell me … you haven’t even held. Simon’s hand!”
Telling from Susan’s pure and innocent reaction, Ingrid could guess. However, Ingrid was surprised. By right, Simon and Susan were childhood sweethearts. In the past many years, Susan had been throwing herself into Simon’s arms. Yet, Simon had not even touched her.
Was there such a chaste man in this world?
“We once held hands,” Susan blushed, too embarrassed to say that she took the initiative to hold Simon’s hand from behind when they crossed the road many years ago.
Maybe Simon didn’t pay attention when crossing the road, or maybe he was afraid that it would be dangerous to shake Susan off. Simon didn’t let go until they passed the road.
But even so, Susan was overwhelmed by happiness for several days.
