Billionaire's Sweetheart

Chapter 704

Little brother's words caused Edward to be startled. His expression was somewhat sad as he self- deprecatingly said, "Of course I'm afraid!"

Richard frowned: "Since you are afraid of losing her, why don't you beg Grandma to give you two a chance?"

Edward's expression flashed with pain, after a long while, he turned around and looked at his brother: "Have you been contacting our mother recently?"

"Why did you mention her to me? I don't plan to see her for the rest of my life. I don't want to think about her." Richard snorted coldly.

"In front of me, stop hiding your feelings. You still want to see her, don't you?" Edward said with a sigh.

Richard's eyes stiffened slightly as his expression became a little ugly.

"Yes, I want to see her, but what can we do when we meet her? What’s there to say?"

''I’m a stranger to her now, I don't know what motherly love is anymore. Bro, what did we do wrong? Why did she want to abandon us like this?" Richard was in extreme pain. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Thinking about the lonely life he had lived for the past few years, Richard felt extremely indignant in his heart.

Edward's heart was also heavy, "I don't know what we did wrong either, but no matter what, she gave us our lives!"

"You're right, we still have to thank her!" Richard mocked himself.

"Alright, go back and rest early!" Not wanting to give his brother any more negative emotions, Edward advised softly.

Richard could only nod his head, turn around, open the door and leave.

Actually, he still wanted to talk more about Felicity with his brother. In the end, he controlled his impulse.

At this sensitive moment, Richard could only remain silent. Even if he hoped that his brother and Felicity would get married tomorrow, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

When Richard returned to his room, he saw that Eliza had taken a shower and was sitting on the bed playing with her phone happily.

Richard was feeling very gloomy, suddenly he couldn't bear to see her smile.

"What are you doing?" Without saying a word, Richard immediately grabbed her phone and looked at the screen, seeing that Eliza was actually watching a man's funny video.

"Richard, what are you doing, give me back my phone!" Eliza immediately became irritated and jumped over, wanting to snatch back her phone, but she had pulled at the wrong place, ripping off the man's robe, revealing his firm chest. Eliza was stunned.

Richard lowered his head to look at the woman who had frozen, and then looked at the place where her fingers were gripped.

"What do you want?" Richard reached out his hands, pulling her hands away, "You'd better be still!"

Eliza's face was red as she took the opportunity to snatch her phone back, and said angrily: "I didn't do anything, you were obviously the one who robbed my phone."

"I don't understand how you can be as happy as an idiot after your parents divorced." When Richard heard that she had a stepfather, he had already guessed the relationship between her parents.

Eliza expression trembled, pain flashed past her eyes: "My parents weren't divorced, they once loved each other."

Richard saw that her eyes had suddenly turned red, and his lips curved upwards: "If they love each other, then where did your mother find a stepfather for you?"

"That's my problem, don't ask me." Eliza didn't want to talk too much with him.

Richard laid on the bed with his hands pillowing his head, staring at the ceiling: "Eliza, can you teach me how to return my mind to simplicity?"

Eliza was stunned, for a moment she did not realize that this man had already occupied half of the bed.

"What's the matter with you? Is your brother and Felicity already preparing to get married?" Eliza only felt that this matter could stimulate Richard and cause him to become dejected.

"No, my mother remarried when I was very young. She abandoned me and my brother. From then on, I became strange. Sometimes, I feel like I'm not a normal person. My mind is twisted." Richard did not know why he suddenly wanted to talk about his own sorrows with Eliza.

Eliza looked at him in shock: "You... Your mother doesn't want you anymore? Why?"

"I don't know why, but I've always felt it... It might be because I was too mischievous and disobedient when I was young, causing her to be unhappy, so she didn't want me anymore!" Richard said self- deprecatingly, like a child.

Eliza frowned and shook her head: "It definitely isn't like that. Children are the flesh and blood of their mothers, she won't abandon you just because you are disobedient. She may have her own reasons that force her to do so?"

"Our Hughes Family had both power and wealth. What kind of life couldn't she live? Maybe it's because my dad passed away, she can't live without a man, it's meaningless to live without love." Richard ridiculed.

As Eliza listened to his self-deprecating words, she didn't know how to comfort him.

She didn't expect that such unspeakable pain was actually concealed behind his seemingly glorious days.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll spread your rumors again? This can be sold for a high price!" Eliza joked.

"If you want to sell it for money, then take it. It just so happens that this scandal should be exposed as well, so that I can take revenge on her and let everyone see her true face. She is so cold and

merciless, she doesn't even want her own child anymore, she only wants her happiness." Richard laughed at himself with a tone of helplessness.

Eliza did not expect that she could not threaten him, she could only sigh: "I'm not a journalist anymore, your rumors have no meaning to me anymore."

Richard turned his head to look at her, he never thought that this woman would actually not be interested in his scandals, does she really plan to change her mind and renew herself?

"Oh right, I thought for a while, I should just sleep on the floor. Anyway, I'm not too particular about people like me who come from the same background. After all, we are in a business deal, and you are the one paying for it." As Eliza said that, she lifted up the blanket and got off the bed, opening the cabinet, she took out a blanket and laid it flat on the ground. She went back inside the blanket, using one side as a mattress and the other side as a cover.

Richard sat up, and looked at the woman under the blanket with narrowed eyes: "Are you pitying me?"

Eliza was startled, it can't be, she could even see through my little thoughts, this man is so smart that it makes people uneasy.

"Get up!" Richard walked in front of her and used his feet to kick her legs: "Since I said I wanted you to sleep on the bed, then I must keep my word."

"Richard, don't argue with me, I really don't care where I sleep!" Eliza had no choice but to pull back her blanket and speak softly.

"I care!" Richard said with an indifferent expression.
