Chapter 231 Ewan Hudson


    Leo was driving the car in a steady pace, while Caroline remained seated in the front seat with red rims


    of eyes, yet she was not emotional as she used to.


    Seeing Leo, who was calm, Caroline wanted to say something several times. However, words were on


    the tip of her tongue and she found it hard to say anything.


    “Do you want to have a talk?”


    Suddenly, Leo turned around and asked her peacefully.


    “I…”


    Caroline looked bewildered and blurted out in haste.


    “I am just curious about how did you found me?”


    Leo chuckled and responded, “Dad just called me and said you had a quarrel with the family. You ran


    out of home. He asked me to find you.”


    “Well.”


    Caroline looked frustrated because she thought at first that Leo was looking for her on purpose-just like


    Leo didn’t say anything further. Caroline also didn’t know what to say. She clenched her hands tightly,


    looking nervous.


    Both of them remained the same until they almost arrived at the Henderson family. Caroline finally


    couldn’t help asking, “Leo, do you remember what have I told you when we were little?”


    “What words?” Leo turned the wheel.


    “Well…”


    Caroline’s cheek turned red. She gritted her teeth and decided to tell him.


    “I have told you that I will not marry anyone except you!”


    Leo simply smiled and replied, “Why are you still saying those words? I have already married.”


    “I am not requiring you to marry me!”


    Caroline turned around to look at him, then she gritted her teeth and continued, “I just, I just want to go


    back to the past!”


    Leo remained silence for a while. He then looked at Caroline in the eye and responded, “I hope you


    can understand what is true love.”


    Caroline showed him nk eyes, finding Leo continued saying in a calm tone, “You are simply in your


    tough period of being betrayed. I happen to help you recover. What you feel towards me is gratitude


    instead of love.”


    “We are adults now and there is no need to mind our past feuds.”


    Caroline’s eyes immediately redded up. She felt her heart was aching. She didn’t know why she hurt


    more terrible than being betrayed by Benedict. Like peeling the onion, she found her heart was torn


    apart one cut after another.


    It was she who pushed away a man who used to treat her nicely.


    That man was supposed to apany her for the whole life.


    Caroline gritted her teeth tightly and tried not to cry out. She really regretted for what she had done.


    When they were driving by a noodles store, Caroline suddenly asked, “Do you remember this ce?”


    Leo nced outside. There was no ripple in his eyes when he replied, “Yes, we used to eat noodles


    here when we were little.”


    “We don’t want scallions and often ask for extra noodles. We were poor in the past days and had to


    share the same bowl.”


    Caroline forced a smile. She looked at Leo and remarked, “Can we go there one more time? Thest


    time.”


    Leo was hesitated for a while and nodded, “Yes.”


    He parked the car by the road and went to the café together with Caroline.


    It was a small café and was not very tidy. There was no customer inside.


    “Boss, we want one bowl of noodles. We don’t want scallions. Add more noodles, please.”


    Caroline took out a brand-new note and remarked, “Keep the change.”


    After saying this, she opposite to Leo nervously.


    Soon, their noodles arrived.


    Caroline took two pairs of chopsticks. She was about to give them to Leo, while Leo chuckled and


    noted, “I will watch you to eat.”


    Caroline’s hands suspended in the air. Afterwards, she took back her hands stiffly and started eating by


    herself.


    Slip…


    No one talked in the café. There was only Caroline’s hurried eating sound.


    Caroline ate the noodles fast in an awkward manner, as if she didn’t eat anything in twenty days.


    Leo was sitting opposite to her, watching her have noodles with tranquil eyes.


    Caroline was eating more and more fast when her tears dropped into the soup.


    Finally, she buried her whole face to the bowl. She couldn’t hold it anymore but cried out loudly.


    Leo didn’t say anything tofort her. He simply observed the woman in front of him in silence.

    Caroline didn’t have anyone to rely on.


    They didn’t end up well as couples. Could friendship still remain in their rtion?


    Their future was uncertain. Leo couldn’t give her the consequence as she expected. He could only


    apany her to finish eating thest bowl of noodles.


    Caroline finished all of the bowl, with even no soup left in it.


    At this point, the owner came with a smile and asked, “Hi, are you the little girl who often ate noodles


    here in the past days? You cane back if you want in the future.”


    Caroline was startled and then shook her head with a smile.


    “I am sorry, I won’te in the future.”


    Afterwards, she left when stumbling under the owner’s wondering gaze.


    Leo sighed in his heart. Why did she decide toe here if she knew what the consequence would


    be?


    Caroline already tidied her makeup when they arrived at the Ford family and came in with Leo.


    However, they found there were many people inside.


    Except Reba and William, Benedict was standing by a serious middle-aged man’s side in a


    respective manner.


    The middle-aged man was carrying a sharp look, making people feel depressed even if he wasn’t


    angry. He was sitting on a red wood chair in the centre with a teacup in his hands to slowly sip.


    However, such a simple gesture had caused people intangible pressure. Only people from the upper


    ss could let off depressing atmosphere.


    “Herees Caroline…”


    Reba’s tense nerve finally loosened up when seeing Leo and Carolinee back. She ignored Leo


    and turned around with a smile, saying to the middle-aged man, “My dear rtive, I have told you


    Caroline simply got moody to run away from home. How could she cancel the wedding with Benedict?”


    “Rtive?”


    Caroline and Leo looked at each other. Soon, Caroline’s face turned pale.


    Leo also squinted his eyes with sharp look.


    The word rtive could reveal the middle-aged man’s true identity. He was the lord of the Hudson


    family and the father of Benedict. He was Ewan Hudson!


    Ewan nced at Caroline. There was no ripple in his look as he dropped down the teacup and slightly


    nodded.


    “It’s good for her toe back!”


    Reba immediately turned around to stare at Caroline with fierce look, “It’s all your fault. You got


    moody simply by a little injury and even made our rtivee here from Sallton, Winham and New


    Queennd. Come to apologize for your future father-onw!”


    Caroline stood still without saying anything. However, she still nced at Benedict.


    It made her chill when finding Benedict didn’t stand out to help her. He simply stood aside like it was


    not his business at all.


    “Come to say sorry!”


    Reba got anxious when seeing Caroline didn’t take action. She pushed Caroline from behind with


    great strength.


    Caroline stumbled because of her push. She bit her lips tightly and bowed towards Ewan.


    “I am sorry, father-inw. I shouldn’t be wilful.”


    “Well.”


    Ewan slightly nodded, “I have heard what happened. It is my son who has beaten you.”


    Caroline raised up her head to look at Ewan in surprise. Leo also started at him with sharp eyes when


    standing in the back of the crowd, waiting for him to continue.


    “It’s true that my son has done things wrong, but you are supposed to help him from too much pressure


    as his wife.”


    Ewan suddenly changed his focus from ming on his own son to ming on Caroline. He looked at


    Caroline and remarked, “Women should follow strict rules to be a good wife. You can only be a


    member of our family in that way.”


    Caroline knew what he was referring to. She gave a cold smile and asked, “Do you mean I have to


    bear even if Benedict beats me again in the future?”


    Ewan didn’t give her a direct response, but looked at her in a meaningful manner, replying, “You have


    to figure it out by yourself after you get married.”


    Caroline immediately trembled. She had never been so afraid of marriage before.


    Reba hurriedly ran towards to tter Ewan and noted, “My dear rtive, everybody is happy for


    Caroline’s return. The day after tomorrow will be their wedding day. I will let Caroline go to sleep in their


    wedding room tonight.”


    “You don’t have to rush.”


    Ewan suddenly decided to talk about another thing and remarked, “There is another reason for me to


    “Which thing? Please tell us if we can help.”


    “You can definitely help with it.”


    Ewan sneered and then remarked coldly, “My son Marcel was beaten into serious injury in the Perry


    family. He is still in aa now. Ie here to hear your exnation!”


    After saying this, Ewan’s eyes immediately turned sharp. His gaze rest on Leo after ncing over the


    crowd in the hall.
