It was as if she had lied and didn't even recognize her own son!
Alistair was clearly her half-brother!
The mess of her mother's marriage and the frustration of her emotions and the nature of her career had to do with this job. However, Carolien never hated nor did she believe it. Just like her mother said, marriage was not necessarily happy. Happiness did not have to be given by a man!
In fact, she was even more stubborn than her mother.
At one time, her mother did not want her to walk the same path as her, but she never concealed that she was born to a single-parent family. Her mother was born in a nightclub. She doubted the public and even could not accept the fact that she gave birth to a little brother at such an age, but she did not think so. Her mother gave her enough love, but she did not think that having a little brother would be a burden to her happiness. Although her mother kept apologizing to her before she died, she had never complained about her mother because of this.
Her mother brought her to this world and gave her a mother's love and responsibility. She couldn't deny all this because of worldly views and couldn't ignore her mother's life because of her future.
Her mother was great, so she chose the right path!
Carolien's heart might be more paranoid than what she showed. Once, she even had a stronger obsession that rooted in her mind—if someone loved her, they would accept her. Otherwise, it was equivalent to no love. If she did not force herself, she would not change the status quo!
Therefore, when she felt wronged, her face was full of anger!
They looked at each other for a long time. Both of them were angry and held their emotions. Carolien suddenly became awkward. She turned back and picked up her handbag directly. "Whether you believe me or not, I didn't! If you don't feel comfortable... I'll go!"
Anyway, she had already apologized to him. She had not done anything wrong to him. There was no future for the two of them. Thinking of this, Carolien's heart hurt a little.
She didn't expect it to end so quickly because of this reason!
As she brushed past him, Elijah grabbed her wrist and gritted his teeth. Carolien struggled, biting her lips and beating him.
Neither of them spoke, but neither of them stopped moving.
He was obviously jealous and angry. Even though he felt very uncomfortable, he still couldn't bear to loosen his grip! Pulling her over, Elijah grabbed her little head and bit her lip fiercely. The furious kiss instantly melted her!
The facts proved that there was nothing that could not be solved by a series of strenuous exercise! All the emotions in his belly turned into practical actions. Elijah had found a balance in Carolien's body. He had to admit that although a simple and brutal method was not necessarily the best, it was often the most useful one.
Sometimes, people were so mean. No matter how high one's status, knowledge, or cultivation was, the weaknesses in one's bones were deep-rooted. They were like Elijah at this moment, caring about Carolien's so-called "indulgent past", but could not help but fall in love with the "quality beauty". The contradictory thoughts were like sharp nails, pricking Elijah's heart and hurting his stubborn and proud soul!
...
After that day, the relationship between them suddenly fell to the freezing point. Elijah did not go to find Carolien again. Carolien did the same, and even the exchange of text messages suddenly stopped.
On this day, there were two documents signed in the office. Elijah was so annoyed that Hart walked in and saw that he had thrown the pen to the ground. He picked it up and spun it habitually before putting it into the pen holder on the side.
"You're in a bad mood?"
But he was sure about that. Sitting down, Hart also looked up at him and said, "From the time I came back from the anniversary celebration, I have never seen him in a good mood, but he still refuses to admit it!"
"Why is it you? Where is Hudson."
With a frown on his face, Elijah wasn't too willing to talk to him. Compared to the two brothers, he would rather face Hudson. Hart was calm and restrained, and he didn't speak much. However, his eyes seemed to be able to see through human hearts. Therefore, he had entrusted many of the internal affairs and documents in the office to Hudson! At this moment, he would rather talk to Hudson.
"Why are you still looking down on me? You let him go to level up with a few super huge clients."
"Oh!"
He tapped his head and remembered that most of the people on the list had something to do with celebrities, especially female ones. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing! Several documents need your signature!"
Elijah's eyes slanted. The focal point of his eyes had yet to leave his body. Did he have to sit down just to sign a few things?
He didn't even have time to read the documents. He signed his name. After that, he found that there was an account of the interest form for the anniversary celebration.
As soon as his eyes fell down, Elijah's heart began to be a little angry again. He thought of something and said, "By the way, that man... What is going on?"
Did he really have that kind of relationship with Carolien?
Because it had always been stuck in this matter, there was also estrangement between he and Carolien. He was a little scared in his heart. Elijah was not willing to mention it, so he forgot about it.
After all, he could not avoid it, unless Carolien had nothing to do with him!
But when he thought of this, he felt even more uncomfortable.
With a faint smile, Hart lowered his head and couldn't help but cough. He knew that he would ask sooner or later.
