CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1705

Chapter 1705 His Pursuit

Stanley's feelings for her came too quickly and suddenly, yet he acknowledged them so naturally. Then, he began to pursue her relentlessly. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

It made her feel not even a bit of joy but, instead, only a deep sense of sorrow.

The trouble was she had no memories or feelings for him from the past, and his pursuit brought her no joy. Moreover, as they held grudges against each other, his pursuit made her feel somewhat afraid.

Seeing Joyce's furrowed brows, Caitlin got worried. “Joyce, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?”

Joyce's eyes flickered for a moment, and she forced a smile on her face. “It's nothing, Mom. I'm fine. I was just thinking about something on my mind. It's nothing important.”

She said so because she didn't want Caitlin to ask further questions.

If Caitlin continued asking, she was afraid she couldn't keep her mouth shut and blurt out her inner frustrations.

After all, Stanley had developed feelings for her and even wanted to pursue her. She really didn't want to tell her parents about this.

If they found out, she reckoned they would be shocked and overthought than she would.

They were old, and worrying about many things would leave them mentally and physically exhausted, which their bodies couldn't handle.

So, it's better to let me handle these matters myself.

Seeing Joyce like this, Caitlin knew that she was hiding something from them. She sighed inwardly but didn't force her to speak. Patting Joyce's shoulder, she gave her an understanding smile and said, “If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Whenever you're ready to share, just tell me. I'll always be a good listener.”

Stanley's feelings for her came too quickly and suddenly, yet he acknowledged them so naturally. Then, he began to pursue her relentlessly.

When Joyce heard that, her eyes reddened. Her heart was filled with warmth and a tinge of bitterness.

She leaned forward, resting in Caitlin's embrace. “Thank you, Mom.”

“What's there to thank for?” Caitlin gently stroked Joyce's hair, her face filled with tender love.

After a while, she let go of Joyce and said, “All right, Joyce. It's getting late, and I should be going. Take good care of yourself at the hospital. If you need anything, ask the nurse to do it for you. Don't try to do everything on your own. If the nurse can't handle it, have them call me, and I'll take care of you.”

She originally wanted to stay at the hospital to care for Joyce and keep her company.

However, Jonathan hadn't been feeling well for the past few days, so she had no choice but to stay home and care for him.

Fortunately, he felt better today and could tend to the garden. Once he fully recovered, she would visit to care for Joyce in a few days.

“Don't worry, Mom. I got it.” Hearing Caitlin's advice, Joyce felt warmth in her heart and smiled as she nodded in agreement. “I'll take good care of myself. After all, I have a baby in my belly. I can't let anything happen to the baby.”

“That's right. Okay. I'm leaving now.” Caitlin patted Joyce's head and turned to leave.

After Caitlin left, the smile on Joyce's face gradually faded and was replaced by confusion and helplessness.

After reading Stanley's letter, she was now certain of her conversation with Natalie that day. Because of this, she didn't know what to do.

Stanley wanted to pursue her, but she could never be with him.

It was because now, she had no feelings for him and no memories of the past. Most importantly, there was a family feud between them. Because of this, she couldn't be with him.

Otherwise, she couldn't face her parents and herself, whom he once hurt.

However, if I remain indifferent to his pursuit, will he become angry and humiliated and do something to me or my parents?

For a moment, Joyce fell into an endless silence.

On the other hand, Natalie's days weren't going so well either.

She initially thought that she and Shane would give each other the cold shoulder for a couple of days, and he would eventually compromise and let her stay.

However, she never expected after several days, after the finals were over and the champion was about to be announced, he still didn't want to compromise.

As a result, she and he were still mad at each other for several days. Even Natalie didn't expect that she and Shane could be in a silent dispute for so long, almost longer than their first time.
