The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

"Thank you for the compliment, Madam Mila," Carrie said, blushing.

Ralph stood silently behind his mother. His intense gaze was fixed on Carrie, never wavering for a moment.

With a warm smile, Mila took off the gleaming emerald bracelet from her left wrist and slipped it onto Carrie's delicate wrist without hesitation.

"I came in a rush and didn't prepare much. I hope you won't dislike this small gift, Ms. Carrie."

Carrie was not the only one stunned, even Paul was taken aback. The imperial green emerald bracelet was worth millions of dollars, yet Mila gave it to Carrie so casually. Such generosity! Even he was tempted!

"No, Madam Mila, this is too precious. I can't accept it," Carrie said, trying to remove it, but Mila stopped her.

"Ah, a gift from an elder should never be refused. Besides, we Thompsons never take back our gifts. If you don't accept it, it would really hurt my feelings."

"Then, thank you," Carrie said, blushing with embarrassment. Her careful way of holding her wrist amused Mila.

Mila suddenly understood why her son liked Carrie so much. This girl was simple, sincere, and adorable.

As they were about to leave, Ralph could not hold back any longer and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Carrie."

Carrie quietly met his gaze, her bright eyes shining.

"I didn't come tonight to rescue you," Ralph confessed, his heart pounding as he confessed to her quickly. "I just missed you and wanted to see you." Before the stunned Carrie could react, Ralph quickly got into the car, which sped away from the scene.

"Pfft..."The usually serious Paul burst into laughter.

"Uncle Paul, what's so funny?" Carrie asked, puzzled.

Paul suppressed his laughter. "Young Master Ralph is quite interesting."

On the way back, in the dimly lit car, Ralph's cheeks were flushed red.

"Son, you have good taste." Mila sighed softly, patting his shoulder. "But, unfortunately, Ryan got there before you."

"Ryan fell for Carrie long ago and made many sacrifices for her. This is something that I cannot compare to," Ralph said hoarsely, his brows furrowed.

"But in the end, they broke up. Pursuing Ms. Carrie now isn't considered taking advantage of the situation right?" Mila was also conflicted but still rooted for her lovelorn son. "Son, you have spent your life for others. This time, be selfish and fight for yourself, okay?"

Ralph did not know how to respond. He quietly took out his phone and sent a message to Bella.

[Bella, I think my feelings for Carrie are more than just liking her.]

Taking a deep breath, he sent another message.

[Do you believe that what I feel for her is love?]This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Bella's reply came without hesitation. [I do.]

[When I went after Justin, he was the unattainable light of my life, yet every day I felt like I loved him a little more than the day before. Ralph, Carrie has the freedom to choose. But you also have the right to pursue your love. Don't leave with any regrets.]
