Chapter 264 The Wrath of Horace’s Mother

This was an accident, I didn’t expect my mom to react so strongly.

Horace locked the car door, a rare severity appearing on his usually gentle face.

No one in his family knew the ultimate purpose of his engagement with Claudia. He was unwilling to speak, and

couldn’t speak, after all, he had agreed to this voluntarily.

“Mom, let’s try a different restaurant.” Without another word, Horace stepped on the gas.

Who would have known that upon hearing these words, the woman in the back seat gritted her teeth and simply

crashed directly into the car window.

With a “bang”, the car fell into silence.

Eventually, Horace’s mother got out of the car, covering her reddened forehead.

Horace followed behind her, his face grim.

“Thank goodness I knew how to open your backseat door, otherwise our whole family’s face would have been lost

by you today!” Horace’s

mother raised her lips in triumph, her face full of anger as she thought about the situation where Seraphina and a

strange man had just entered the restaurant.

She gripped her phone tightly, glaring fiercely at Horace, “If you still want to marry her, then you shouldn’t stop me.

Rest assured, I’m not the kind of unreasonable mother. If there’s a misunderstanding between you two, then clear

it up. If it’s not a misunderstanding, we have other ways. But if you stop me, she will never be able to enter our

house in this lifetime!”

Upon hearing this, Horace’s lips moved slightly, but he ultimately swallowed his words of objection.

He hadn’t seen very clearly just now, but there was indeed a strange man following Claudia. Although they were not

close to each other, judging from the man’s mask, it was most likely Magnus.

Last time, he had carefully investigated. Although he couldn’t find out the relationship between Magnus and

Edmond, he could guess it.

Magnus, was Edmond.

“I thought she would give up when Edmond died, but I didn’t expect her to be such a flirtatious woman, carrying

another man’s child and messing around with so many men,” Horace’s mother said with great dissatisfaction.

“She’s just second-hand goods, yet so ostentatious. Indeed, there’s a difference between raising someone at home

and outside.”

“Mom…” Horace frowned, interrupting her, “Since you think she’s not good enough, then I’ll marry Elva.”

Horace’s mother suddenly lost her speech.

Elva, the one with a disability?

“I… I was just saying.” Compared to the person with a broken leg, Seraphina was obviously superior, especially

since Elva had been abandoned by the Friedan family, she was even worse off than an ordinary person.

“Forget it, I can’t handle your matters anymore, let it be!” Horace’s mother took a deep breath and strode towards

the dining room.

Regardless of whether Seraphina could ultimately become her daughter-in-law, this matter had to be stirred up

today. Otherwise, wouldn’t Horace be cuc kolded every day once she entered the door?

After she entered, Horace followed closely behind.

In a small private room at the corner of the restaurant, waiters had brought in many dishes one after another.

Seeing these dishes on the table, Claudia was slightly taken aback.

These dishes, they were all her favorites. To be precise, they were her favorites when she was with the Lamont

family.

She was pregnant now, and her tastes had changed a bit, but seeing

these sp icy diced chicken, she still couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.

She looked up at Edmond, her eyebrows slightly raised.

It was time to eat, he wouldn’t still be wearing a mask, would he?

“Mr. Fleming, shall we eat together?” She pointed at the food, looking at his mask with great interest.

A glimmer of light flickered in the depths of Edmond’s eyes as he quickly glanced at the table, “You eat, I’m not

hungry.”

Claudia smirked, he really had no intention of taking off his mask.

Given that, she spoke her mind then.

“Actually, even if Mr. Fleming didn’t wear a mask, I knew what your face looked like under the mask.”

Edmond’s eyes darkened, “What do you mean?”

Still pretending?

Claudia laughed mockingly, “Stop pretending, Ed…”

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” The box door was knocked loudly, quickly interrupting her words.

scenery.

Claudia looked up and through the gap in the railing, she immediately saw Horace’s mother, Selena.

“Seraphina, open the door!”

Selena was banging on the door hard.

Claudia walked over and opened the door, and the person outside rushed in quickly.

Horace’s mother glared at Edmond, then suddenly gave a cold laugh, “Very well! Excellent!”

She looked at Claudia, her words suppressing anger, “Ms. Friedan, can you tell me what you are doing now? You are

about to marry into our Ferguson family, how can you date other men?!”

Claudia frowned, knowing she had misunderstood.

“Mrs. Ferguson, I didn’t have a date with him, we just happened to bump into each other.”

“No date, and you can’t even keep yourself clean? Do you know how much effort our Horace has put in, how much

humiliation he has

endured to marry you? He resisted his entire family for you, and what about you? Not only are you carrying

someone else’s child, but you were also entangled with other men before the engagement!” Horace’s mother

sneered at Edmond, “Don’t think I can’t recognize you just because you’re wearing a mask. No matter who you are,

you’d better stay away from Seraphina, or you’ll bring trouble upon yourself!”

Claudia’s brow furrowed, she didn’t know how to explain that her relationship with Horace was purely professional.

She thought things were going smoothly with Horace, but she didn’t expect it to be so complicated.

She only thought of herself, but didn’t consider Horace’s difficulties.

It was her who caused the delay.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Ferguson. I’ve let Horace down. The wedding hasn’t been set yet, it’s still possible to break off the

engagement. When I go back later, I’ll talk to my family about calling off my marriage with Horace.”

Unexpectedly, she was so decisive that it left Horace’s mother stunned.

She had never considered breaking off the engagement, she just wanted to warn Seraphina. She didn’t expect

Seraphina to give up so decisively.

“The engagement doesn’t need to be called off,” Horace interrupted their conversation, “My mother has been a bit

neurotic lately, she

corrected herself, “I was too impulsive, I’m sorry.”

She quickly walked up to Claudia, apologizing with a smile, “Seraphina, I was too impulsive just now, I didn’t realize

you were discussing something. Horace was right, my me ntal state hasn’t been good lately, and I made a mistake.

He tried to stop me but I didn’t listen. Please don’t call off the engagement, I really do like you, I was just too

impulsive earlier… Can you forgive me?”

Claudia glanced at her indifferently, then looked at the slightly anxious Horace, biting her lower lip slightly.

Edmond stood to one side, his gaze clear, yet seemingly determined to watch this spectacle.

If the marriage was dissolved, he would be pleased. No matter how good Horace was, with such a mother-in-law,

Claudia would have a hard time raising the child in the future.

If he had been somewhat hesitant before, now, he had already dispelled all thoughts of backing down.

Rather than entrusting her to an uncertain family, it was better to keep her by his side, protecting her with his own

wings.

He walked up to Claudia, h ooked his arm around her waist, his voice husky and laced with ambiguity, “Since

Seraphina has decided to cancel the engagement, there’s no need to force it.”

Under Claudia’s surprised gaze, Edmond smiled with a slight lift of his

eyebrows and eyes.

“You didn’t misunderstand, our relationship was indeed not ordinary.”
