Chapter 436 Fellow Sufferers Had Mutual Sympathy

When Colin and Faye drove back to the Fennth Community, Carlotta had already returned early. She was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a cup in her hands and drinking water. Hearing the sound from the door, Carlotta turned around.

After seeing Colin and Faye, she pressed her lips and said, "You're back."

Colin then said with a smile, "Why did you come back so early, Aunt Carlotta?" Carlotta responded, "It's already quite late."

Colin continued, "I thought Jadon would take the opportunity to express his love."

Colin put it so straightforwardly that Carlotta flushed immediately, "No, he didn't."

With that, Carlotta got up and said, "It's late, and you two should go to wash up and rest early."

After finishing her words, Carlotta left without waiting for Colin to reply, limping back to the bedroom.

Seeing that, Faye frowned at Colin.

Colin did not feel that he was wrong, but smiled and said, "I did it on purpose. She had been in the living room, so how could she chat with Jadon?"

Faye said, "You're wily."

Colin walked forward to help Faye take off her jacket, checked the wound on her shoulder, and said with a smile, "There's a spray for sprains in the medical box at home. You can bring it to aunt Carlotta later." Faye said with a smile, "Okay."

A few minutes later, Faye went to Carlotta's bedroom.

Carlotta was sitting on the edge of the bed, applying a towel on her ankle.

Faye handed her the spray in her hand, "Auntie, Colin said this spray works well. You can try it."

Carlotta reached out to take the spray and said with a bashful smile, "Please say thanks to Colin for me."

Faye smiled and said, "We're all family. There's no need to be so courteous."

After giving Carlotta the spray, Faye did not leave immediately but walked to the window to view the night scene outside for a while.

Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Carlotta said hesitantly, "Faye, do you have something to tell me?"

Faye said with her head tilted, "Auntie, do you like Jadon?"

Carlotta was silent.

Carlotta had expected that Faye would ask this question, but she hadn't expected Faye to ask it so straightforwardly. Carlotta pressed her lips and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Carlotta did not speak, Faye did not try to keep asking but said, "If you like him, you should have a try."

Carlotta clenched the spray in her hand and said, "We're not the good one for each other."

Faye said, "You have not even tried. How do you know you two are not the good one for each other?"

Hearing Faye's words, Carlotta looked down at the spray in her hand and did not speak. After a while, she said with a bitter smile, "I'm not very smart, but I'm not stupid. I know that I'm not in the same world as he is, as the environment in which we grew up and the way how we perceive a certain thing are quite different."

After finishing that, Carlotta paused, looked up at Faye, and said, "Do you know how much preparation I've done for tonight's party?"

Faye and Carlotta looked at each other.

Carlotta continued, "I wasn't sure if they were going to have what kinds of food, so I looked up the etiquette of both cultures online in advance. But even so, I was still afraid I would make a mistake." Faye replied, "I understand."

There was a time when she was also like that.

Seeing Faye drop her eyes, she said, "Faye, when people reach my age, they may want to have their own families and their beloved ones, but I want to live the rest of my life in peace and quiet." After finishing that, Carlotta paused for a moment and continued, "Dr. Carter is a good man, but I'm not good enough for him."

Faye was not the kind of sentimental person.

Therefore, she couldn't say something like "Don't look down upon yourself" at this time.

Because she knew very well that what Carlotta had said was not trying to underestimate herself but to be realistic.

To be truly good to a person was to let her grow in the right perception, not to let her indulge in "white lies".

A lie would still be a lie, even if it was well-intentioned.

And very often, the chain reaction caused by a white lie would not be that good for the person concerned.

After Carlotta finished saying, it was silent in the room for about a minute.

Faye walked up and sat down by Carlotta's bed.

Carlotta froze and looked at Faye.

Faye said, "Auntie, I agree with you."

Carlotta said with a smile, "Well."

Faye turned to look at Carlotta and said, "But don't you want to have a try? Jadon is very good and gentle, and most importantly, he likes you very much. He is not in his salad days, and he has seen women who are better than you, so his decision to express his love to you is a well-thought-out one."

The smile froze on Carlotta's face.

Faye looked away from Carlotta's face to give her time to think, and then she pressed her lips and said, "Auntie, Colin is not my father, nor Jadon is."

The words of Faye touched Carlotta's heart directly.

Carlotta got a lump in her throat.

The atmosphere in the room, which had just been enlivened, was once again gloomy.

And the gloomy atmosphere lasted longer than just now.

After a long time, Carlotta said in a hoarse voice, "I can still remember how good your father was to your mother."

Faye turned her head and said, "Is it because we've seen the flowers withered in autumn and winter that we won't see them next spring?" Carlotta said, "Faye."

Faye continued, "The one who made mistakes was Shepard Nash, instead of me or you."
