Chapter 2825
“Ha! Aren’t you overestimating me?” Max mocked.
“I didn’t say that. You battled your way through the warzone, and now you’re in charge of The Lodge’s security,”
Mrs. Langston said. “Your dad and I nurtured you painstakingly and witnessed you bring glory to the Langston
family. Max, don’t make the wrong move. It wasn’t easy for you to come this far. Listen to me. I’ve already agreed
for you to go on a blind date with a military officer’s daughter.”
“Mom...” Max looked awkward. “Why did you decide on things without my permission? It’s too much.”
“If I don’t force you, how long will you delay this for Eliza?” Mrs. Langston put on a stern face. “You might not be
happy now, but you’ll thank me in the future.”
“I don’t need to thank you. Eliza is amazing to me. I’m the one who’s not good enough for her.”
Mrs. Langston was unconvinced. “Don’t be a fool. You two are from different worlds. Take Chester, for example.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe’s now disabled from rescuing Eliza. A woman can’t possibly be indifferent to that. My son is outstanding. You
shouldn’t be someone’s backup.”
“Mom. I’m not great.” Max could feel a headache coming. He built his career up and out from a small place,
whereas Charity, on the other hand, was the daughter of a wealthy family.
“Anyway, you must go on that blind date. Since we’ve already made a promise, you shouldn’t stand the girl up.
Don’t offend her family.”
Max tightened his grip on the steering wheel, feeling annoyed.
The next day, Mrs. Langston brought the chicken soup she made to the hospital.
“Didn’t I tell you not to come?” Larissa felt embarrassed. “You come every day. Eliza is fine now. She can be
discharged in the evening after her medical results are out.”
“I came because I heard she’s going to be discharged today,” Mrs. Langston said with a smile. “I made chicken
soup, so you don’t have to rush back to cook it in the afternoon.”
“Thankyou, Mrs. Langston,” charity said gratefully.
“Eliza. I need you to help me with something,” Mrs. Langston said sheepishly. “I met your friend Freya when I came
yesterday. I
heard she’s the girlfriend of the prime minister’s son. I have some organic eggs and wild mushrooms picked from
the countryside. Please help me to pass them on to her. It’s a token from me.”
Charity was stunned for a few seconds, but she reacted quickly. “ Mrs. Langston, you don’t have to do this. Freya
and I are good friends, and Max is close to her boyfriend too. Besides, Ryan probably doesn’t like to accept gifts.”
“Them having a close relationship is another story. Or else, you can ask your friend to pass these to the prime
minister.” Mrs.
Langston deliberately put on a straight face, “charity, your mom and I are friends. You won’t refuse to help me,
right?”
“...Okay.” Charity was put in a difficult position. However, to avoid Mrs. Langston from being unhappy, she still bit
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe bullet and agreed to help. “Mrs. Langston, have you informed Max about this?”
“Him? He’s dense. What use is there in being honest nowadays? You still have to learn how to please others.” Mrs.
Langston sighed and said, “But he’s not free today. He’s on a blind date.”
“A blind date?” Larissa was the one who spoke.
“That’s right.” Mrs. Langston laughed and said, “I’ve been living in Max’s place these few days, and I discovered
that many families with prominent backgrounds want to introduce blind date partners to him. As a matter of fact,
he’s on a blind date with a military officer’s daughter today. The girl’s background is great, and it’ll be helpful for
Max’s promotion in the future.”
“That’s... That’s good,” Larissa said sheepishly after glancing at her daughter.
“I think it’s great as well. His dad and I have been looking forward to him having a family and a successful career,
when that time comes, we’ll come to Canberra to look after his children,” Mrs. Langston said emotionally. “I only
have this one son, and we’ve put in all our efforts to raise him.”
“Max is very hardworking. He won’t disappoint you two.”
