Chapter 316
"Well, my mom's got a couple of young guys she supports. The latest one is about my age."
Miranda found her speechless.
"My mom always says life's too short not to enjoy it. My dad, on the other hand, says never miss out on the people around you-or the money."
Miranda kept silent. Now she understood why this guy was the way he was.
"My dad also had a kid with his first love, but luckily, that kid doesn't get a dime from our family. Because my dad married into our family, and his other kid doesn't carry our last name."
Miranda thought to herself that he didn't actually have to share everything.
"The marriage laws in Virelia are different from back home, and anyway, my dad won't divorce. He still needs my mom's money to support his first love."
Miranda finally broke her silence. "Doesn't your mom care?"
"My mom says my dad's getting old, losing his looks and charm, so she's not interested anymore. She doesn't mind if he finds someone else for comfort. And the mistress is always trying to win my mom over, treating her better than my dad."
Miranda was at a loss for words, not even giving a few teases.
He sighed, "Just before I left, my dad blocked me."
"Why?" Miranda asked on instinct, feeling she deserved to know after listening to all of this.
He explained, "I felt bad for my dad, so I started helping him with stocks."
"And the market was booming at the time, so we both invested."
Miranda guessed, "Did you make your dad lose the money?"
"I made two million dollars, and my dad lost two million." He said as he clicked his tongue, "The old man can't handle it."
Miranda was left speechless. At this moment, a mechanical voice chimed in, "Your destination has been reached."
Hearing this, Miranda felt as if she had just emerged from a bizarre dream. What on earth had she just experienced?
"Oh, you're here," The silver-haired young man said as he turned to Miranda, a flash of admiration in his eyes.
"Wait, have I seen you on TV?"
Miranda immediately opened the car door. "No, you haven't."
"What's your name?" The silver-haired young man leaned out a bit, his eyes shining brightly. He asked, gazing at Miranda, who was getting out of the vehicle, "You're the first person to listen to me for so long." .
Miranda curled slightly her lips. "How many rides have you done?"
The silver hair laughed, his bright
eyes twinkling like stars. "Actuallet
you're my first one becausenoveldrama
everyone else cancels the moment they see me!"
Miranda nodded, that explained his eagerness to talk.
"I'm Carter Hawke. What about you?" he continued to ask.
Miranda smiled as she turned away, waving. "Miranda," she said as she headed
into the gated community.
Carter repeated the name to himself, "Miranda."
Why did that name sound so nice?
And why did he have such a strong urge to talk to her, stronger than he ever did with his online girlfriend, no, ex-girlfriend?
As soon as she got in the car and spoke to him, he just couldn't stop talking.
There was something about her that felt oddly familiar and comforting.
Miranda paused at the entrance of the estate, frowning slightly as she muttered, "Carter Hawke? Another Hawke?"
Had she somehow stumbled into the Hawke family's nest in this life?
What do you think?
