Chapter 517
Mrs. Spencer marched forward and looked back to see Gary standing next to Nara, wiping away tears.
Nara gestured to him, seeming to say, "Don't cry."
But Gary cried harder, and Nara let out a slight sigh.
Gary had always appeared gentle and mild-mannered, but now he seemed so pained and distressed that he seemed to have lost the most important thing in his life.
Mrs. Spencer's heart, for some reason, suddenly softened.
Ever since Gary was little, she had doted on him, buying him anything he wanted as long as the family could afford it.
When he wanted to play games, if he persuaded her, she would indulge him too.
Thankfully, Gary had always been restrained and successfully got into university.
Over the years, he had rarely asked for anything from her.
To be honest, seeing him like this now, Mrs. Spencer felt that her son lacked backbone because he was captivated by a woman.
Yet when her son obeyed her, she felt a pang of heartache.
Mrs. Spencer looked at Nara again, only to see her taking a piece of paper from her bag and then looking anxiously toward her. That expression hardly showed any sadness at being forced to break up; it seemed as if she was more eager to meet Lady Gill.
Jealousy suddenly started to bubble in Mrs. Spencer's chest.
Her son had given so much for this mute girl, and now he was heartbroken, seemingly unable to move on.
But what about this mute girl?
Didn't she have any attachment to her son at all?!
A sudden burst of anger welled up in Mrs. Spencer's chest. How could Nara do this?
She had helped this mute girl solve a problem, and then what? Nara would rise high and fly far away, while Gary might end up hating his mother for the rest of his life!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Spencer took out her phone and dialed a number, "…I just have to talk to someone! That girl is so scheming. My good friend, I can't believe a young woman played me!"
The person on the other end said, "That is too much. The key is, if you just let this girl go, your son will hate you forever, won't he? One can never get over their old flame, alas…"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Spencer paused momentarily.
Old flame…
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she stopped in her tracks. "I've thought of a great idea, thanks to you!"
She hung up and turned around, approaching Nara and Gary.
Gary was startled. "Mom? What's wrong?"
Nara was also puzzled.
Didn't Mrs. Spencer want to help her meet Lady Gill anymore?
If so, she would find Lady Gill herself.
She took out Matias's phone, which had her earlier chat history with Lady Gill. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nara wrote, "This is Nara. There's something I'd like to talk to you about. Can we meet?"
Lady Gill wrote, "I'll come see you immediately."
Nara wrote, "No need. I'll come to you. Don't come to my place."
Lady Gill wrote, "Then I'll send a car to pick you up."
Nara wrote, "Don't bother. I'll take the bus."
Lady Gill wrote, "Alright, alright, just come. Could you stay for lunch?"
Nara didn't reply anymore.
After that, all the messages were sent by Lady Gill, asking almost every five minutes.
Lady Gill wrote, "Barbara, are you almost there?"
"Barbara, I made your roast ribs for lunch. It used to be your favorite."
"Barbara, I've told Austin to stay away. You won't see him when you come. Will you have lunch with me?"
"Barbara, haven't you arrived yet?"
"Barbara, I will meet you at the front gate."
The last message had just been sent.
This meant that Lady Gill would be here soon, and Nara just needed to wait.
While Nara was waiting, Mrs. Spencer suddenly approached her and challenged her, "Do you love Gary?"
Nara was slightly startled, but her eyes brightened immediately as she nodded.
Of course, she had feelings for Gary.
Who wouldn't like such a gentle and kind man?
However, Mrs. Spencer scoffed. "But how come I can't see your affection? My son has become so haggard because of you. And what about you? You don't seem worried at all."
Nara looked at Gary and tried to write down her explanation. "It's because..."
She had only written a few words when Mrs. Spencer stopped her. "You don't need to explain anything. Let me ask you, if you love my son so much, and I'm also willing to help you by speaking to Lady Gill on your behalf, then can you do something for my son?"
Nara was startled, then immediately nodded.
Of course she would!
Although Gary was too soft and couldn't say no to his mother, she and Gary truly loved each other...
Gary stepped forward. "Mom, why are you making things difficult for Nara again?"
"I'm not making things difficult for her. I'm doing this for your own good!"
Mrs. Spencer glared at Gary and then turned her gaze back to Nara. "If I plead for you, you should repay me, right? Here's the deal: be my son's mistress for two years. When my son gets tired of you, then you can leave."
She decided that with this arrangement, Gary would have Nara, and he wouldn't hate his mother.
Neither would he yearn for Nara because he couldn't have her...
Mrs. Spencer thought her idea was simply brilliant, but there was one thing she had to clarify. "But you must not publicize it nor let the Gill family know. You and Gary can live together, but you mustn't get pregnant! Gary, your child must be born from Miss Gill!"
Nara was completely dumbfounded upon hearing these words.
She looked at Mrs. Spencer in disbelief, never expected that she would say such things!
Gary was also dumbstruck. "Mom, how could you say that?!"
Mrs. Spencer began. "Gary, what's wrong with what I said? You like her. Don't you want to be with her? If that's the case, isn't my suggestion a good idea? You'll be together; if you can't bear to let go of her after two years, you can keep her! Miss Gill has just returned to the family, and Lady Gill certainly won't let her marry off so quickly. You just need to break it off with Nara before Miss Gill marries you! By then, you should be tired of Nara..."
Mrs. Spencer glanced at Nara and said to Gary. "She's so bland. After sleeping with her a few times, you'll realize there's nothing special about that... Love doesn't mean that much at all! Wait until you're my age, and it's only mutual tedium!"
She then looked toward Nara. "As long as you agree to my conditions, I'll speak to Lady Gill for you! I'll ensure the Gill family won't trouble you or your brother anymore! Do you agree?"
