Daddy, You Got The Wrong Mommy-Chapter 153: Watching Over Elara Don for You
Cole Hawke continued, "I just heard everyone talking, saying Evelyn Miles is back? She and Uncle were a match made in heaven. A man never forgets his first love, especially when Evelyn is such an extraordinary dancer. I believe it won’t be long before the two of them rekindle their romance."
These words made Vinny Hawke nod in agreement.
"That’s what I think too. But as long as Elara Don is in the company, I can’t be at ease. This woman is too cunning. I fear she might secretly cling to Damon."
Damon Hawke is loyal, but he can be very single-minded.
She said he was interested in Elara Don because she resembled Evelyn Miles.
But deep down, she wasn’t sure at all.
Because Damon Hawke approached Elara Don using two different identities, a level of scheming she had never seen before.
Even when he dated Evelyn Miles before, he wasn’t so focused.
How could she not worry?
"Auntie, don’t worry about it. I’m here, right? I’ll keep an eye on Elara Don and make sure she doesn’t ruin Uncle’s marriage."
Cole Hawke patted his chest with a solemn expression.
Vinny Hawke looked at him, pleased yet seemingly thoughtful.
"Arthur, when you told me last time that you also liked Elara Don, were you serious?"
"Yes, Auntie, I wasn’t lying."
Cole Hawke feigned helplessness, "It’s a pity she doesn’t like me."
"What’s so good about this kind of woman? I’m telling you, you can mess around, but don’t take it seriously. Or else, I’ll tell your father."
This Elara Don is a seductress.
The descendants of the Hawke Family are all drawn to her.
"Relax, Auntie, I know what I’m doing."
Cole Hawke lowered his eyes slightly to hide the scheming look in them.
"Auntie, I’m going to eat now. How about you?"
"I’ll wait for Samantha for a bit and see what she has to say to Damon."
"Alright, I’ll go first then."
Cole Hawke quickly headed to the cafeteria.
At this time, Elara Don had just finished getting her food and sat down at the table by the window.
She glanced at the time, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.
Soon, she would see her own son.
Excited yet nervous.
Why did it feel like the familiar unease of returning home?
A shadow fell in front of her.
Elara Don looked up and saw Cole Hawke sitting across from her with a smile.
Instantly, her expression turned slightly cold.
Cole Hawke noticed her face getting colder, his gaze flickering.
"Elly, you don’t look well. Didn’t sleep well last night?"
Hearing this, Elara Don swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at him.
"Indeed, I didn’t sleep well, thinking about some things."
She wanted to see how virtuous some men could pretend to be.
If Cole Hawke asked what she was thinking about, she planned to scold him.
"I didn’t sleep well either."
Cole Hawke, however, didn’t follow her script and instead sighed heavily, his brows tightly knit.
Elara Don said nothing, as she didn’t want to engage with him.
In the past, she might have asked if something was wrong.
But now, she just thought the person in front of her was like a ridiculous clown.
"Elly, aren’t you going to ask why I didn’t sleep well?"
Cole Hawke asked softly when he saw Elara Don’s expression still cold.
"It’s none of my business."
Elara Don lowered her eyes, picking at her food with a flat tone.
"No, it is related to you."
Cole Hawke looked at Elara Don, "Elly, I came today to confess something to you."
To confess something to her?
Elara Don paused while eating, raising her eyes to look at him.
Cole Hawke moved his lips, putting on a guilty expression, "Elly, I lied to you about something. Actually, Charlie and Bea look exactly alike. I think they might be twins. And you are likely Charlie’s biological mother."
As soon as he said this, Elara Don’s hand tightened around her chopsticks, momentarily speechless.
Cole Hawke confessed to her?
Then why did he deceive her before?
"Arthur, I always saw you as a senior, as a brother. Why did you lie to me?"
"Because I like you."
Cole Hawke reached out and held Elara Don’s hand.
"Elly, from the moment we first met, you left a deep impression on me. All these years, I’ve been searching for you. But unexpectedly, when we met again, I found you had a close relationship with my uncle."
Cole Hawke paused, "Before I knew Charlie was your biological son, I could tell myself not to rush because my uncle was engaged."
"But later, when he broke off the engagement with Ivy, and I suddenly discovered Bea and Charlie looked exactly alike, I pieced things together and suspected you might be Charlie’s biological mother."
"I panicked. I didn’t want you to discover this truth, for if you did, you’d inevitably end up with my uncle. So when you asked if Charlie and Bea looked the same, I lied in a moment of impulse."
"I had no other intentions, just wanted to delay things a bit, so you and my uncle wouldn’t reunite so quickly. But this whole time, thinking about it has left me uneasy, unable to sleep."
"Putting aside your relationship with my uncle, I thought about Charlie. He calls me brother. How could I let my selfishness prevent you and Charlie from reuniting as mother and son?"
"I felt I was not a decent person, so I thought long and hard last night and decided to find an opportunity to confess to you. Elly, it really was just an impulsive moment. Can you forgive me?"
His words were heartfelt.
Elara Don listened quietly, looking at the genuine emotion in his eyes, she pulled her hand from his grasp.
His decision to finally confess showed he wasn’t as hypocritical as she had imagined.
But she didn’t want to assess this behavior further.
"Arthur, thank you for finally coming clean, so I wasn’t completely disappointed in you. If you hadn’t confessed, I believe I would have regarded you as less than a stranger in the future."
She didn’t expect him to have feelings for her.
She would still see him as a senior, but nothing more.
She wouldn’t treat him the same as before, sharing everything with him like a confidant brother.
"Elly, I’m sorry once again."
Cole Hawke watched Elara Don’s softened expression, feeling slightly relieved.
He knew Elara Don was a soft-hearted woman.
As long as he showed sincerity, he believed she would forgive him soon.
Cole Hawke thought of something, his eyes twinkling, "Elly, have you already discovered the truth?"
He needed to act natural, ensuring she wouldn’t detect his deceit.
"Yes, I just learned." Elara Don replied calmly.
Cole Hawke paused, "Actually, I’ve always had a question. Clearly, the person who was with you four years ago was my uncle, so why did you think he was a thug? Was that man a fraud, or did you mistake someone else?"
He wanted to deliberately stir up Elara Don’s resentment towards Damon Hawke.
When Elara Don heard this, she was chewing on a piece of rib.
She bit forcefully, as if the meat were a certain person.
"Mistook someone else."
That person was indeed a big liar, wasn’t he?
Deceiving her body and heart!
Just a complete bastard!
"Now what are you planning? Are you going to let my uncle know you’re Charlie’s biological mother?"
Cole Hawke looked at Elara Don, "Have you seen Evelyn Miles? She’s my uncle’s first love. They were once the golden couple. I heard from my aunt that she’s fond of Evelyn and wants her to rekindle her relationship with my uncle. What about you..."
