His Coy Lover

Chapter 71: Charles, the Elusive Figure



Vinson said, “… No one said anything. It might be a misunderstanding. I’m sorry for the disturbance.”

After investigating Zelda’s information, he only knew that she had a short-lived relationship in college that ended in less than half a year. Afterward, her romantic life remained blank until she returned to the Roscente and fell in love at first sight with Burton.

For a while, Zelda was quite popular, as several families wanted to form an alliance with the Roscente, including his rival, Charles.

Vinson knew Charles very well. He would never actively form an alliance with the Roscente. It was probably the idea of Mrs. Winston.

In any case, the result of the investigation was that Zelda had not been unmarried and pregnant.

Vinson turned and left.

A Rovella family bodyguard approached, took out a stack of money, and placed it at the bedside of Alan’s mom, saying in a low voice, “This is a small token from our master.”

Alan’s mom wanted to say something, but the other person quickly caught up with Vinson’s footsteps and disappeared into the ward.

“Hey, you come back and explain clearly. It’s inexplicable!”

Alan picked up the stack of money and was about to chase after Vinson.

“Brother, don’t chase.”

Zelda, coming out of the bathroom, stopped her brother from chasing after Vinson.

“He is Vinson, the head of the Rovella family. He acts domineeringly and doesn’t allow others to resist him.”

Indeed, he was Charles’s arch-enemy, sharing the same character and competence.

“Zelda, did you hear what he said in the bathroom? Even if he’s the head of the Rovella family, he shouldn’t defame you like that. You don’t even have a serious boyfriend, and he actually asked if you’ve ever been pregnant.”

Alan threw the stack of money on the bedside table. “Does he think he can defame others with a few dirty coins?”

Seeing that his sister was not angry, Alan became nervous and cautiously asked, “Zelda, tell me, are you really… Unmarried and pregnant? Is it related to the head of the Rovella family?”

After Vinson left, Alan finally reacted.

The other party wasn’t interested in having Zelda apologize; he wanted to know where Zelda’s baby went.

“Brother, how is that possible? If I had a child, I would definitely let you know.”

Alan carefully examined Zelda and felt that she wasn’t lying, sighing in relief.

“It’s good that there isn’t, it’s good that there isn’t.”

A knock on the door sounded.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Zelda inexplicably tensed, worried that Vinson might return.

She didn’t understand Vinson at all, just like she didn’t understand Charles.

All she knew was that the two young CEOs of River Town were both tricky characters.

They could cause trouble without making a sound.

Alan went to open the door.

Zelda prepared to slip into the bathroom at any time.

Standing at the door was one of Charles’s personal bodyguards, Monday.

Monday held many supplements in one hand and a basket of fruits in the other.

“Hello, may I ask, whom are you looking for?”

Alan looked Monday up and down, asking suspiciously.

Monday looked at Zelda.

Zelda timely walked out and explained, “Brother, he’s… an acquaintance of mine. He knew about my mom’s car accident and came to visit.”

Alan wasn’t too convinced.

Monday handed the things to Alan, then took out his phone. Without knowing what he found, he handed the phone to Zelda.

Zelda looked and saw a heroic image of her throwing the Rovella family bodyguard over her shoulder.

How did Monday take a photo of her throwing the Rovella family bodyguard?

She quickly looked behind Monday but didn’t see her home, Charles.

Monday retracted his hand and said coldly, “Charles said he wants to hear your explanation in person.”

After speaking, he nodded at Alan and turned around, leaving quickly.

Zelda’s face changed slightly.

Charles had been to the hospital?

When did this happen?

He was really elusive!

What’s more annoying was that when she was entangled with the Rovella family bodyguards, he didn’t help her resolve the situation but instead took a picture of her heroic moment, asking her to explain.

Explain what?

Explain what happened between her and Vinson?

Zelda felt a headache.

After returning to the Roscente, Chris had personally gone to their house and talked to her parents, hoping that they would have less contact with Zelda in the future to avoid affecting her relationship with Zelda.

For a year, unless Zelda took the initiative to go back, they wouldn’t contact Zelda.

“Brother, my biological mom is also fine. She won’t think too much. You go back and tell Mom that in my heart, she and my biological mom are both my mothers. I am the luckiest person in the world to have two dads and two moms who care about me.”

In the previous life, she was more inclined to her adoptive parents. After all, she was raised by the Hasis until she was twenty-five, and their bond was particularly deep.

In this life, she would strive to treat both mothers equally. Whether it was her adoptive mother or biological mother, they were both her mothers, and she would be filial to both.

“Well, I will tell Mom.”

After seeing Zelda off from the hospital ward, Alan asked, “Did you drive yourself here or take a taxi?”

“Our driver sent me here.”

Her home, Charles, disliked her driving, so he removed the tires from her BMW and didn’t allow her to drive.

Now, wherever she went, she had to ask Zack to arrange a car for her.

This was the treatment of a rich lady, but Zelda didn’t like it.

She still liked to control the steering wheel herself, speeding up when she wanted and slowing down when she wanted.

“Zelda.”

Alan stopped and looked at her, saying gently, “If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can talk to me. Although I don’t have a powerful background, I have physical strength. If anyone bullies you, just tell me, and I’ll help you vent your anger.”

Zelda smiled, “Brother, as long as I don’t want to be bullied, no one can bully me.”

She could even knock down the Rovella family bodyguards.

In the previous life, she was eaten to death by Burton because she loved him.

“Brother, you go back and take care of Mom. I’ll come over tomorrow to relieve you.”

Alan agreed with a sound, gave some advice to Zelda, and then turned back.

When her brother’s figure was no longer visible, Zelda turned around and was about to leave when she saw Charles, pushed by Monday, coming slowly toward her.
