Chapter 784

“Go. Leave and return to the Thomases.” Peter pulled his hand away from Esme’s embrace. Esme looked at him

pitifully. “Aren’t you sending me there?”

“I’ll pay you a visit later,” Peter responded coldly.

Esme was so glad to hear this. Still, she maintained her pitiful, puppy face. “Okay. I’ll wait for you. If you don’t come

to me, I’ll stay up at night and keep on waiting for you.”

Peter nodded and saw her off. Then, he returned to his laboratory and dialed his home’s number.

Upon picking the phone, Mrs. Hall spoke into the phone anxiously, “Peter, Sally and Britney went out for lunch. And

they’re not back yet! Could Sally have run off with that man?!”

Mrs. Hall’s words battered on Peter’s guilty conscience as he recalled the lie he made to confine Sally at home.

“Mom, it’s a misunderstanding. Sally has never had a boyfriend before and she’s not pregnant. I’m sorry. I’ve made

a mistake.”

“Huh?!” Mrs. Hall was confused and furious upon hearing this. “A mistake? How could you make a mistake like

that?! No wonder Sally insisted that she’s not pregnant…! You’re her brother! How could you ruin her good name

like that before investigating?! Thank God I haven’t told your father yet. He would be so pissed to hear this!”

“I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”

“Where’s Sally right now?”

“She’s back at the hospital.”

“I see. So you two have made peace?”

“Yes. Sally’s always been close to me. She forgave me after I apologized to her.”

“Sally has always idolized you since she’s a baby! Don’t make a mistake like that ever again! Sigh. Sally’s always

been busy with work. How would she find the time to date anyone? I’ve even tried to introduce her to some good

men. But she never agreed to meet them.”

Hearing this, Peter could not help but to hate Jason so much. His little sister was such a kind, lovely lady. Yet this

piece of sh*t was so stupid and blind to not see that!

“Mom, Sally had missed work for so many days. She might not be able to come home this week.”

“Alright. It’s not uncommon for her to not come home for weeks due to work. But she would still give me a phone

call from time to time.” After learning that her daughter was not pregnant nor did she plan to elope with a man,

Mrs. Hall felt relieved and could not stop talking about how good a daughter she was.

Peter understood what his mother was trying to say. He carefully opened his mouth, “Mom, I’d like to talk about

something. It’s about me.”

“What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re going overseas again? But you’ve just come back.”

“It’s about me and Britney.” When he mentioned her name, Peter sighed as he recalled the real Britney.

Mrs. Hall asked, “What are you sighing for? No… Did Britney confess to you? And you rejected her? How could you

hurt that girl like that…?”

“Mom…” 11

“I’m warning you, Peter Hall! Your father and I are really fond of that girl. She has always had feelings for you and

never stopped loving you, even after our family had fallen from grace. She even followed you overseas. Have you

never thought about how much hardship she had to go through living alone in a foreign land? Mrs. Thomas always

talked about how heartless you are when we met, do you know that?!”

After taking a breather, Mrs. Hall softened her tone. “You’ve been doing really well. You’re a self-made man,

achieving so much in your career in the government without your father’s help. This is why the Thomases never

stopped little Britney from pursuing you. Because they believe that you can take care of their little princess.”

Then Mrs. Hall spoke into the phone with a stern voice, “You’re not a kid anymore! So grow up and stop being so

picky! Britney is such a good girl! What’s there to be picky about?!”

Peter rubbed his eyebrows and responded weakly, “Yes, Mom. I’ll do as you said.”

“Yes?” Mrs. Hall was surprised to hear this. Peter had always tried to change the topic whenever she talked about

her wish for him to accept Britney.

Yet today he gave in so easily? Her Peter? That son of hers who was usually as stubborn as a mule? Mrs. Hall could

not help but to feel something was off.

Sensing his mother’s suspicion, Peter explained, “I was always busy with work so I did not have time to start a

family. Besides, Britney is so much younger than me. So I’ve always thought of her as another little sister of mine.

But after coming back to Fortuna, I’ve realized she’s all grown up. She’s grown to be a fine lady.”
