Rules of Engagement

Chapter 240 Slightly Drunk

Caspar was not only the son of Mr. Jason, but also had a large number of industries under his command, which could be said to be a man of promise in Linchuan City. Seeing that he was not in good mood tonight, everyone dared not to keep him any longer, so they had to let him go.

When Caspar came out of the bar, he was a little drunk. He was surprised to see his mother standing in front of him. "Mom, why are you here?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Your father is with your sister in the hospital. I'm worried about you and want to come with you." Shirley wanted to smile at her son, but she could not. A drop of tear fell from her well maintained face. She hurriedly reached out to wipe it, not wanting to show her fragility in front of the younger generation.

"Mom!" How could Caspar ignore her expression? He hurried to hold her hand and said, "Mom, I think you are tired. You have worked hard for sister these days. Let me send you back early."

Shirley nodded and said, "Let's go back. I've told you many times not to drive after drinking. You have to think about the people who love you, the passers-by and their families, not only for yourself,"

Shirley blamed Caspar. When she turned around and saw the big lipstick print on her son's face and the pungent perfume on his body, she couldn't help saying, "Let's go back home first. I have arranged someone to take care of your sister. She should be fine now."

Caspar nodded and went back home without saying anything. After taking a shower in his bedroom, he came out and saw his mother sitting on his bed. He smiled and said, "Mom, do you have anything else to say?"

"Yes, I have something to tell you, Caper." Looking at her tall and straight son, who looked like her, but his figure was exactly like Jason's. Shirley's heart ached, and she said softly, "Caper, listen to my advice, just live a good life with Joyce. Don't interrupt me. Listen to me. Although the Mo family is a

little stingy and short-sighted, I have observed the child these days. Joyce is quiet and decent. She is a good child. After all, you are married. Just live a good life."

When Caspar heard Shirley mention the name of Joyce, her stubborn face appeared in front of him. But when he thought of the baby in her belly, he was in no mood at all. He said, "Mom, I know my own business. You'd better care more about my sister. Try to mediate between her and Yassin. She is stubborn. Talk to her carefully."

Shirley sighed and said, "It's all my fault. I loved you and spoiled you since childhood. Now your sister is unruly. If it weren't for me, you two wouldn't be as naughty as you are now."

"A mother of course loves her children." Caspar sat down in front of his mother, pulled her arm and snuggled up to her like a child. "Even if I have a lot of children, you are also my mother. You should also love me!"

Shirley couldn't help laughing at her son's words. "You have a sweet mouth. The girls outside all like you, as if you have eaten honey. I'm so happy to hear that."

Caspar smiled and said, "That's all because mother is good. Without you, how could there be such a Caspar that everyone likes?"

Shirley laughed even more happily, and the sadness in her heart was relieved by her son. She thought for a while, and thought of the matter of Elsa. She couldn't help but quarrel with Jason today. But she regretted after she made a scene. She had endured it for more than twenty years, but now she couldn't help but destroy everything. But looking at the child that woman gave birth to, the painful past appeared in her heart again. The existence of Elsa was like a huge thorn, standing across her heart, and she could not spit out or swallow.

The kids would know what had happened today sooner or later. She wanted to tell her son the truth first and said, "Caper, I have another thing to tell you. It's about your father."

All of a sudden, Caspar sat upright. Looking at his mother, who had never been so desperate and helpless, he understood what was going on in an instant. He asked in reply, "Does it have anything to do with Elsa?"

Shirley looked at her son in surprise. She couldn't believe that her son had asked the key point of the matter at once. Caspar shrugged and said, "I knew it long ago. Last time when doctor Xu came to see my father, I happened to send father some documents. I happened to hear that doctor Xu asked him to pay attention on me and Elsa in case of any irreparable mistake. I knew it. Mom, I know everything."

The pain in Shirley's heart was clearly captured. She didn't say anything for a long time. She knew that the existence of Elsa was also not long ago. More than twenty years ago, she personally saw her husband being with another woman. She didn't say anything, and even Jason didn't know what she had seen. She had made up her mind to take away Candice from her belly and left the Qiao family with Caspar. But the baby in her belly made her very reluctant, and she finally could not make up her mind. Later, when she knew that Jason had broken up with Jenna, she kept this matter in her heart. She had never thought that the child was still with her and took away everything that should have belonged to Candice.

She also knew this from doctor Xu. During that time, doctor Xu often came to see Jason. She thought that there was something wrong with Jason's health and he didn't let the family know, so she asked doctor Xu for a long time. Doctor Xu couldn't hide it from her and told her the truth.

It turned out that she had always thought that she didn't mention the matter of Elsa to protect her children and her whole family. However, her son had already known about it, and he also said nothing to protect his sister and mother. Elsa was usually mentioned with a touch of hostility. She always thought that everyone was dissatisfied with Elsa because of the fact that she was with Soren and that people who loved Candice disliked Elsa.

Thinking of this, Shirley felt more painful. Caspar was so sensible, which made Jason look colder and ruthless.

Tears streamed down her face. Caspar panicked. He had never seen his mother crying like this. Shirley was always elegant and generous. Among all the ladies, she was the most well-educated and reasonable one. Caspar seldom saw his mother crying. She was only sad for what happened to Candice a few times.

He hurriedly held his mother's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Mother, your son has grown up. I will never let you and my sister suffer from injustice."

Shirley hurriedly said, "Caper, you can't do anything stupid. I really hate Elsa and your father's past. But after all, the past is the past. I'm old now. It's useless to mention it again. In the past few days, I just saw your sister sad, and your father went to care about Elsa, so I talked about it in a fit of anger. I hope this matter will stop here in the future. You can't do anything stupid."

"Mom. I see," Caspar replied in a low voice.

"Caper, promise me honestly that you won't get involved in this matter. I tell you because I don't want you to know about it from others. Do you understand what I mean?" Shirley said seriously.

Caspar had to agree, "I see, mom. I won't get involved in it anymore."

Shirley breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Do you know what my biggest wish is? I hope you and your sister can have a healthy and good family life. You won't be trapped in love affairs and hurt by love. I'm willing to do anything for you and your sister. Now that you have married the girl from the Mo family, you should return home and live a happy life. Joyce is from a poor family, but girls from small families naturally have their advantages. They are more considerate and know how to cherish. You will promise me that you will live a good life back, right?"

Caspar wanted to refute, but he couldn't bear to see his mother sad, so he said, "I promise you, mother."

"That's good. Come here, let me have a look." Shirley looked him up and down and found that there were no lipstick marks on his body, and the smell of perfume was covered by the body wash. Then she said with relief, "Then go back quickly. Joyce is pregnant with our family's child. Anyway, you should take good care of her."

A cold and hard look flashed across Caspar's face, and he didn't say anything more. Shirley pretended to be relaxed in front of her son and said, "Go back."

"Mom, don't worry. I know what to do. Take good care of yourself and don't worry about it. As you said, it has been so long. We shouldn't do anything stupid anymore." Caspar looked at his mother seriously and said, "Even if, I mean, no matter what happens, my sister and I will always be behind you. Mom, take care of yourself. I'm going back."

Then Caspar picked up his coat and walked out. He felt entangled and painful, perhaps more painful than his mother.

When Caspar walked out of the door, the scene of his childhood suddenly appeared in his mind. He was very young at that time, but he clearly remembered that year when he was six years old, because he remembered too clearly what happened at that time.

When he came back from school excitedly, he went straight to his parents' room to look for snacks.

At that time, although the Qiao family was also a big family and didn't lack food and clothing. But at that time the whole country was not rich, his family's supplies were not abundant. Shirley received the preserved fruit that were brought back from abroad and put them in her room, saying that she would give them to others as presents on the new year's day.
