If he found out about it, he would punish her for thinking like that
And how he would punish her was totally up to him.
Back in the Luo Family house, Cora furiously paced back and forth. She tossed her purse on the couch angrily, grinding her teeth.
She looked so wrathful, no one dared to approach her.
Since it was a weekend, Clyde was home. The pressure that the Lu Group was exerting on them was gone, and the business was back on track.
He could finally take a break and spend some time at home.
He noticed how upset Cora was, and he was compelled to put the newspaper aside. "What's going on?" he asked. "Why do you seem so angry?"
Clyde and Cora had started their business from scratch. They only had one child and that child was Raymond. Sometimes, they put a lot of pressure on him without intending to.
Clyde loved Cora deeply. He was a faithful husband. He had never lied to or cheated on her. All he wanted was to spend a good life with her alone.
They managed the business together. Their lives had improved significantly after the business flourished. However, Cora had changed.
Success spoiled her. She started to think too highly of herself and looked down on girls like Ashley. Thankfully, her relationship with Clyde was unaffected.
Presently, his question made her think of Lena. Unable to keep it inside her anymore, she snapped, "It's all because of Lena! She is such a horrible person!"
He replied, "What about her? I thought you liked her." Clyde was well aware of Lena. In fact, he had a good impression of her.
"I remember you brought her soup today... Also, why are you home early?" he asked, with a look of confusion.
She had told him about Lena's miscarriage, which was the last thing he heard about her.
He felt sorry for her. If Ashley hadn't caused her miscarriage, she would soon have become a mother, and he would've become a grandfather.
Cora loved Lena a lot.
She treated her like their own daughter.
"Please, don't. Her very name upsets me!" Cora replied.
Clyde stood up, curious about what was going
ill couldn't let go of her anger. However, Clyde's words made sense. All they could do was limit the damage.
Hurriedly, they got up to leave for the Mu family mansion.
On their way out, they saw Raymond walking into the living room.
Cora spotted him right away. She put her purse down and rushed to him. "Raymond, honey, are you okay? Where have you been? I've been so worried about you!"
Raymond put up a smile for her mother and replied, "I am okay, Mother."
Cora could sense the difficulty he had, trying to smile. Lena was surely on his mind.
Carefully, she asked him, "Raymond, do you think you could still love Lena after all this? My dear, she is not good for you! She's so cruel to have killed her own baby! And for what? For getting a better social status?!"
"Honey, listen to me. Your father and I are going to see the Mu family to call off the wedding. I will find a good, nice and smart girl for you!"
Seeing her worried eyes and knowing she was trying to comfort him, he let her continue talking, even though he barely heard any of it. He simply nodded his head, then replied, "Okay..."
Cora continued, "Do you want to go with us?"
Raymond shook his head and replied, "No, Mother. Can I just stay home? I need some time to myself."
His voice sounded weak. He was having a hard time processing what had happened. The natural smile he always carried was gone.
