Matriarch of the Hockleys

Carl was very upset when he heard the crying and laughing behind him.He wanted to catch up with Andrea quickly and explain to her, so he ran forward anxiously.

"Andrea?" Mrs. Bruce looked at her tearful daughter in surprise. What happened?What about Hockley?

"Mom, I want to go back quickly." Andrea lowered her head, not wanting Mrs. Bruce to see her embarrassed appearance.

"Don't you wait for Mr. Hockley?" Mrs. Bruce asked softly.

"No, let's go!" Andrea took Mrs. Bruce's hand slightly, feeling the urgency of Andrea's departure, and Mrs. Bruce didn't say anything else, "Then let's go first!"

Mrs. Bruce peeked at Andrea as she walked. Could it be that she and Hockley were having a fight?Her mood is a little complicated.

Karl soon arrived at the original box, looking at the empty room, Karl scratched his hair in frustration, damn it!

He ran towards the door again without taking a break. The surrounding guests looked at the abrupt Karl and frowned from time to time.

"Sir," Leger walked in through the door and saw Carl in the crowd at a glance.

"Did you see Andrea?" Carl asked hastily.

"Miss Bruce? She just came out with Mrs. Bruce. They got into the car just now, sir? What's the matter?" Leger heard Mrs. Bruce said that the husband was still inside, so he hurriedly wanted to go in and have a look.

Carl took a breath, walked towards the car parked outside the door, and resumed his previous calm expression.

"Where's the car?" Carl didn't see Bruce's car, so he asked anxiously.

"Sir," Leger looked at the ugly-faced Carl in embarrassment, "Miss Bruce has already left. Before she left, she said that she hoped you would not appear in front of her."

Carl froze in place, and Leger glanced at Carl who was immersed in his own world, and hurriedly lowered his head to weaken his sense of existence.

God, Ms. Bruce and Mr. must have had a quarrel, that slap must have been made by Ms. Bruce!Don't know if they'll ever get back together, God bless!My husband has a bad temper when he is angry.Leger prayed slowly in his heart.

"Go buy an ice pack," Carl stepped forward and opened the car door, leaning back on the backrest.

Leger glanced at Carl, and hurried to the nearby pharmacy.

"Mom, I'm fine." Under Mrs. Bruce's gaze, Andrea felt like a thorn in her back, and the sadness in her heart weakened a lot.

"Don't be sad, things will get better." Although she didn't know the specific reason for her daughter's sadness, Mrs. Bruce still stroked Andrea's back and comforted her softly.

"Mom," looking at Mrs. Bruce's loving eyes, Andrea couldn't help but rushed forward and hugged Mrs. Bruce.Buried himself on Mrs. Bruce's shoulder and cried loudly.

Mrs. Bruce patted Andrea's back gently, silently comforting her crying daughter.

"Sir," Leger sat on the passenger seat and handed the ice pack to Carl.

"Go to Bruce's house," the car started slowly, Carl applied the ice pack to his face, the expression on his face was faintly visible in the dim car.

The car drove smoothly on the road, and Carl kept looking out the window.The scenery is constantly changing, Karl's eyes are confused and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

The sound of a car came from outside the villa, and Eden raised his head and looked out the door.

"Andrea," Eden looked at his sister who hurried in, and stopped her with some doubts. "What's wrong? Why are you crying! Who bullied you! Tell me." In the bright hall, Eden looked at Andrea with red and swollen eyes and tear stains on her cheeks in surprise.

"It's okay," Andrea said casually, not wanting Eden to know about it.

"I'm a little uncomfortable, I'm going back to my room first!" She didn't care about being rude, and ran upstairs with a 'boom, boom, boom~'.

His face was a little dignified, and when he saw Mrs. Bruce who had just entered, he hurriedly asked, "Mom, Andrea?"

"I don't know too well. She just left the box for a while and it became like this. Hockley went to see her at that time. I guess there was a quarrel between their lovers." Mrs. Bruce was not too sure, she squeezed tightly Lip, "You can ask someone to investigate tomorrow to see if anyone knows what happened during that time."

"Got it." The living room became quiet, the two of them sat on the sofa, but they didn't know where to go.

"Kang kuang~" The sound of the car stopping came to mind again.Mrs. Bruce and Eden looked at each other, and their expressions became serious.

"Sir, it's Mr. Hockley." Aemon stepped forward and said.

"Let him in first." Eden glanced at Mrs. Bruce with a serious face, and ordered. "Yes, sir."

Carl outside the door waited anxiously, his heart was very complicated.What should I do?They couldn't let them know about that woman, especially Mr. Bruce, who hated himself.Carl looked at the concrete floor under his feet, and his mood became very bad.

"Mr. Hockley, please come in." He walked towards the villa, feeling a little nervous.

"Mrs. Bruce," he said calmly, "Mr. Bruce, good evening."

"Mr. Hockley? Why are you here?" Eden put on a surprised expression.

"I want to see Miss Bruce. I think we have some misunderstandings that need to be resolved." Carl was a little depressed.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" Eden asked curiously with doubts on his face.

"Sorry, I want to talk to Andrea alone." Carl's desire to see Andrea became more urgent.

"It's getting late, Mr. Hockley, let's go back first!" Mrs. Bruce suddenly looked up at Carl, "Andrea is a little tired, she has gone back to her room to rest."

Unable to hear the desired reply, Carl's face suddenly became ugly. "Then I'll visit again tomorrow, goodbye." He tried his best to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, without showing the eagerness in his heart.

--------------

"Mom?" Eden said worriedly, lifting his chin upstairs.

"It's really getting late. I'll ask about your sister. You should go to bed early." Mrs. Bruce also left the living room after speaking.Eden was left sitting alone on the sofa, with deep worry in his eyes.

Andrea, who had been standing behind the window and blocked herself with the bed curtain, quietly watched the car drive out of her sight.

She drew the curtains on the bed before turning on the light in the room. She sat on the chair, wondering what she was thinking.

As the night gradually deepened, there were a few hoarse bird calls from time to time outside the window, and Andrea felt like she was on an isolated island, only herself, very lonely.

'Knockout~' The sudden knock on the door awakened Andrea, who was in a melancholy mood.

She slowly got up and went to open the door, "Mom?" Mrs. Bruce ignored Andrea's awkward expression, walked into the room and sat down.

"What's the matter?" She closed the door and looked at the expressionless Mrs. Bruce.

"What exactly happened between you and Hockley? Andrea, don't hide anything from me, okay? I'm worried about your current state." Mrs. Bruce stared at Andrea, her kind eyes made Ann Delia felt the urge to cry.

"We're done, Mom." Andrea cried bitterly.

"It's over? You proposed it? Why?" Hockley wanted to see Andrea just now, so she should have proposed the breakup. What happened to make her make such a decision?

"I met Luna," Andrea said with bitterness, thinking of the words of the woman in the corridor, Andrea's heart was still throbbing at this moment.

"Who is Luna?" Could it be Hockley's rotten love?Is this true?

"She was Carl's previous mistress," Andrea choked up, "They've been together for almost two years,"

"Mistress?" From Mrs. Bruce's point of view, this is not unacceptable.After all, Carl has been single for so many years, how could he never have had meat.What's more, having mistresses is very popular among single men, which is much cleaner than messing around with women of unknown origin.

And she knew that Carl had adopted a woman before, so she didn't care much.But now Andrea already knew that since she couldn't accept Hockley's past, she had to stand by Andrea's side to support her decision.

"I can't take it, Mom. It makes me sick," Andrea said with dead silence in her eyes. "I knew he was single at that time, and it was impossible for him to be without a woman. But Mom, I couldn't control my emotions when I thought about the fact that he had more than one relationship with that woman."

Andrea's emotions suddenly got a little out of control. She shouted fiercely in a low voice, "I can't help being jealous, cursing, and going crazy. I'm going crazy."

"Andrea, calm down first." Mrs. Bruce looked at her decadent daughter and said distressedly.

"Mom, I can't calm down." She looked at Mrs. Bruce in pain, "Mom, I love him. My heart told myself clearly - I love him. But I can't accept his past, when I think of his past and that How close a woman is, I can't help being jealous. I feel like I have become one of those resentful wives who worry about gains and losses."

"Mom, can you understand how I feel? I don't want to be that kind of person, my life shouldn't be like that!" Andrea said with a cry.

"Don't be sad, Andrea. You won't become that kind of person. You are the jewel in the palm of Earl Bruce's family, and you will have the happiest life!"
