His Coy Lover

“Be careful, don’t damage anything.”

Burton’s mom directed the servants as they unloaded the dowry she brought for the Roscente, reminding them to be cautious.

These were all valuable items.

Damaging one item meant losing money.

Burton’s mom made quite a spectacle.

Chris, who was in the kitchen preparing a meal and waiting for her daughter to come home, heard the commotion outside and couldn’t help but call out, “Laura, what’s happening outside?”

Laura, the maid, was feeding two ragdoll cats, Elle’s pets.

“Madam, I’ll go check.”

After patting the two ragdoll cats, Laura spoke gently, “You two enjoy your meal. I’ll be right back.”

Laura went outside for a quick look and hurriedly returned, calling out, “Burton’s mom is here to propose marriage. The dowry she brought is exceptionally rich, filled with valuable things.”

She had already rejected Burton’s mom’s proposal, yet Burton’s mom still sent a dowry!

Quickly taking off her apron, Chris instructed Laura to take over the cooking while she rushed outside.

At the doorway, she came face to face with Burton’s mom.

“Relative.”

Burton’s mom had a big smile on her face, addressing Chris affectionately as her Relative, making Chris’s face turn green.

“Burton’s mom, we have some acquaintances, but we are not Relatives.”

The Roscentes and the Winstons were the in-laws.

But it was better not to disclose this information.

Chris felt both frustrated and heartbroken for her daughter.

“I’m here today to propose. Once the dowry is presented, the wedding date will be set. The two children will get married, and our families will be in-laws. I’m just changing the address in advance for us to get used to it.”

“Burton’s mom, you…”

” Let’s discuss it inside.”

Burton’s mom warmly linked arms with Chris and walked towards the house.

Chris tried several times to shake off her grip but couldn’t.

Once inside, Burton’s mom skillfully led Chris to sit on the sofa as if it were her own home.

“Once they’ve arranged the dowry, take a look and see if it’s okay. If not, just let me know, and I’ll add more to ensure your satisfaction.”

“Burton’s mom, I’ve said it. I still want to keep my daughter for a few more years. I don’t want to hear about the marriage between her and your son.”

Zelda was Charles’s legal wife; how could she marry Burton?

Chris was anxious and angry, scolding her precious daughter in her heart.

What a mess! And she didn’t even explain it clearly to her mother.

Ignoring Chris’s words, Burton’s mom instructed her people to arrange the dowry in the luxurious hall.

The jewelry and accessories were dazzling under the light.

“These are the keys to several new cars, and these are the keys to the villa where the two children will live after marriage. The houses are already decorated and well-ventilated. As soon as the two children get married, they can move in.”

“By the way, when you have time, we should go shopping together. Help the two children furnish their new home so they won’t have to worry.”

Burton’s mom spoke rapidly, one sentence after another.

Chris wanted to speak several times but couldn’t find the words.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“These jewelry and accessories are my hidden treasures, and some are newly bought. I thought your daughter would like them. Look, they shine brightly under the light, all made of real gold and silver.”

Burton’s mom seemed to be showing off the wealth of the Lowell family.

“Burton’s mom!”

Chris’s face turned iron-blue, ignoring politeness as she interrupted Burton’s mom.

“Burton’s mom, I’ve said it. Even if it’s Elle, I won’t let her marry your son. Take all these things with you, and don’t mention the marriage of the two children again. Our Zelda still has her reputation. It can’t be ruined by your son.”

“What are you talking about? Zelda’s reputation has nothing to do with our Burton. I’m not here for Zelda.”

Chris was both irritated and heartbroken, scolding her daughter in her heart again.

In the past, Zelda adored Burton, treating him like an ancestor, pampering and coaxing him, practically obeying his every command.

Chris, as a mother, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Zelda didn’t treat her own mother so well.

Back then, Burton’s mom was a bit disdainful of Zelda and even came to propose marriage because she saw Zelda as the true daughter of the Roscentes.

Now, Zelda didn’t want to marry Burton and chose Charles instead.

Burton’s mom, on behalf of her son, turned to propose to Elle. Today, she sent a grand dowry, clearly showing off to the Roscentes.

“Burton’s mom, whether it’s your idea or your son’s, I’m telling you clearly. Even if it’s Elle, I won’t let her marry your son. Please leave, and take all these things with you. Don’t clutter up my house.”

Chris, who already knew that Burton and Elle loved each other, didn’t want the two to be together as they wished.

If Elle dared to deceive her daughter like this, she wouldn’t let Elle marry the man she loved. Of course, Elle could be Burton’s lover; Chris had no control over that.

After all, Elle couldn’t marry Burton!

“Why not notify your husband and daughter and ask Elle’s opinion? Maybe Elle is willing to marry Burton. Don’t split them; otherwise, you might get struck by lightning.”
