Chapter 4240
Everetts eyes widened in disbelief, his voice laced with shock and disappointment as he asked, You broke up with her? After all this time? Arent you living together? Luis asked, How did you know, Dad? Everetts expression turned stern, his voice firm.
Your mother kept me informed.
She seems excited about it.
The news spread quickly, no surprise in their close-knit circle.
Luis then stunned his father with a sudden revelation.
Im in a new relationship! And I want to marry her.noveldrama
Everetts curiosity was piqued, and he asked, Whats she like? I need to know more about her before you introduce her to your grandfather, you know.
Luis, no fool, decided to embellish Holleys appeal and casually mentioned, We met at an exclusive club. Everett raised an eyebrow and asked, Are we talking about a one-night stand? What exactly is on your mind, Dad? Thats where she works! Luis tried to break the news gently, but Everetts expression darkened.
You told me youd dumped Elva Fowler for some clueless waitress? Luis replied calmly, Shes an aspiring waitress, Dad.
And a lot more.
Besides, she wants to open a shop of her own.
Everett paced back and forth, fuming.
And youll be helping her, I presume? Can you be any more stupid? I thought you were a smart boy, but it seems youre blind to her manipulation.
You two are like oil and water.
How can you possibly make a life together? Im not looking down on waitresses or whatever.
ALL Im saying is that you two are from different worlds! What do you possibly have in common with her? Can she keep up with your intellect and ambitions? And how will you even raise your children together? Like I said, youre poles apart.Luis brushed off his trousers, a resolute look on his face.
My mind is made up, Dad.
Everetts finger jabbed accusingly at Luis.
Dont think for a second your mother and I will ever approve of this! Shes not welcome at our home as long as you insist on marrying her! Hearing Everetts objections, Luis wasnt surprised.
After all, it was unusual for a man of his standing to marry a waitress, especially being Everetts son.
Luis was mature enough to know he wasnt making this decision just to upset his parents or because he was uninterested in other attractive women.
He simply believed that a captivating personality was more important than a pretty face! But what Everett said also made sense. He believed that he should be in charge of it when it came to the education of his children… As for Holley, he decided to let her pursue her interests! Getting up from the sofa, Luis prepared to leave.
But Everett halted him, asking, Where are you heading? Are you off to have a date with that waitress? Noticing the change in Luis expression, Everett softened his approach and added, Luis, its not that I have anything against this girl, but she hasnt attended college, right? The differences between you two are significant.
Dont rush into anything.
Otherwise, you might end up regretting it! At first, you might feel thrilled because there was no one like her in your world, but how will you sustain the marriage once the feeling wears off? She might not mind because your looks and status will be enough for her.
But what about you, Luis? In ten years… or even less! What will you do when you grow tired of her? Youll be miserable every day because she wont fit in with the other ladies we know.
Not to mention, you might lose patience dealing with household matters! Taking a moment, Luis composed himself.
Then he replied earnestly, I appreciate your concern, Dad.
I really do love Holley! But I promise Ill give your words some serious thought.
What do you think?
