Chapter: 4922
Luis got into the Limo, too tired to move.
He had done nothing but “pleased” Elva these days.
But she had just left without looking back.
Luis stayed silent. Joann sat beside him and said softly, "Haven't you decided yet? You have to take responsibility after being with that girl. You can't just leave her hanging! Your grandfather would be furious if he knew."
After hearing her out, Luis finally spoke up.
He lit a cigarette, took a drag, and said casually, "She doesn't want me. I thought... I thought she changed her mind, but she just told me she doesn't want to start over.”
Joann was shocked.
She knew her son well. He rarely talked about his personal life, but now he was opening up. It seemed he was going through a tough time.
After a pause, she said, "Your father and I can—"
Luis interrupted her. “It's my problem. I'll handle it myself."
Hearing this, she sighed.
She couldn't understand why Elva had changed her mind. Later that night, Joann shared her worries with her husband.
Everett saw things clearly and said, “When my dad asked you to do this, I knew it wouldn't work. They've been together for years. A few more days together won't change much. Joann, times have changed. As long as she avoids getting pregnant, our son might just be fulfilling her needs... Think about what our son did to her. We can't blame her for turning him down now."
His insight left his wife speechless.
She struggled to find words for a long time.
Everett reassured her, saying, "Stop worrying. It's obvious that girl still has feelings for Luis. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been with him. She has plenty of admirers, you know. If Luis can't win her back, he's not worth much. Let's not dwell on them. Maybe we should consider having another child."
Joann blushed and retorted, "Another baby? Do you realize how old we are?"
As they flirted, the phone rang.
Upon hearing the news from the caller, Everett's expression grew serious.
A servant in the house had found the USB drive Everett dropped, which had then got lost in a shop during laptop maintenance.
