Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1948: Summer Hall Side Story (150)

Edward Smith: "..."

Is it too late to cut off our sibling relationship and beat her to death now?

The brother and sister stared at each other for a long time, both appearing calm on the surface but actually secretly competing.

After a minute, Edward was the first to compromise, raising both hands to surrender to her.

"Yes, I like Johnson Fefferman."

"When did you start liking him?"

The mother and daughter leaned in together, their eyes sparkling as they looked at him, not hiding the strong gossip vibes on their faces at all.

"That’s the second question, you haven’t answered mine yet."

Helen Melendy pouted. She really didn’t know about Elly calling Johnson, but she could roughly guess what Elly had said to him.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "I guess she probably told Johnson that you lost quite a bit of money for her to Elly."

After speaking, she saw Edward frown slightly, so she added, "You helped Johnson mess with Elly, causing her to lose so much money. Shouldn’t you pay her back? Mom agreed too." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Saying that, she looked at their mother, who was beside herself with joy because her son admitted to having a crush.

Upon hearing this, Evelyn Taylor quickly nodded, saying,

"Yes, we were going to bring this up when you got back from New Horse, but since we mentioned it now, it’s just as well you prepare."

As she spoke, worried her son might take it out on his sister and Elly, she began speaking earnestly,

"Son, we the Smith Family shouldn’t be ungrateful. Without Elly, who knows where your sister would be now? And you turned against the benefactor, helping others to bully her. That doesn’t make sense, others have no obligation to foot the bill for your pursuit of women."

Faced with his mother and sister, Edward pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration; nothing had ever left him so helpless.

"So, if Elly wants money, she should just come to me. Why did she go to Johnson?"

"Well..."

Helen Melendy was stumped by Edward’s question.

She truly didn’t know why Elly mentioned this to Johnson.

"Probably because she feels sorry for your unrequited love and wants to act as a matchmaker?"

Edward looked at Helen in silence, making her feel a bit embarrassed.

"Should I... call and ask for you?"

Edward, once again pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration, shook his head and said,

"No need."

After that, he turned to leave, but just as he reached the cafe’s door, they saw him return.

"What’s up, big brother, is there another question?"

"Nothing, what I just said was a lie."

After speaking, under the dumbfounded gaze of mother and daughter, Edward straightened his back and left the cafe with confidence.

"Which of your brother’s words were true and which were false?"

"The last one was false."

Helen couldn’t say how well she knew Edward, but she’d seen many people like him.

Adam Jones and Harry Hall were the clearest examples.

If he didn’t have different feelings for Johnson, she wouldn’t believe her brother was such a good guy, silently cleaning up messes for a woman.

The only explanation is that big brother likes Johnson.

Either he doesn’t understand his own feelings or he’s too aware of them and cares too much, which makes him hesitant.

"I’ll call Elly and ask."

Just as Helen was about to pick up the phone, Evelyn Taylor stopped her.
