Chapter 763 Unnecessary Exnation


    At first, Fiona couldn''t help but feel that it was such a pity how they didn''t get married at the Marriage


    Bureau. But looking back, she felt that it was actually a stroke of luck.


    Mandy had always told her that if she ever felt that she had been wronged, she needed to tell her right


    away. But how could she tell Mandy about this situation? Fiona couldn''t deny that Ethon''s behavior


    today made him unworthy of bing her future husband. He had obviously made his choice between


    her and his mother.


    As clichéd as it would be, blood would always be thicker than water. Above everything else, the family


    would always be a priority. Turning your back on your own family was very difficult, and Ethon was not


    an exception to this.


    With those thoughts in mind, Fiona just felt how stupid she was. She cried and cried excessively. She


    just let her tears flow on her face without thinking about who might see her or what she looked like.


    Fiona had thought that Ethon was different from other men. When they were in the horse field, Ethon


    had firmly held her hands. It might have been mundane and simple for everyone else, but it moved her


    a lot. She had thought that Ethon would always stay the same. She thought that he would protect her


    from everybody else, even in front of Monica. But now, it was clear that she had been wrong.


    Fiona was deeply envious that Mandy did not just have a wonderful man like Nathan for a husband, but


    she had alsonded herself good inws. The rtionship between mother-inw and daughter-inw


    had been a prominent topic since ancient times. It had been the topic of a lot of conversations, and


    people had varying opinions. However, there was no denying that in their situation, she couldn''t marry


    Ethon. There was no way for them to be together like they had nned. Perhaps this had been their


    fate all along.


    Suddenly, a pair of arms circled her. Someone pulled her into his arms, and Fiona immediately felt the


    familiarity of the embrace. Fiona looked up at him, tears still streaming down her face. Needless to say,


    it was Ethon. She had always felt somefort wrapped in his arms with his scent so close to her. But


    not this time.


    She was so upset that she quickly pushed him away. Gritting her teeth, she red at Ethon as if he


    was her enemy.


    "What are you doing here?" There was so much coldness in her voice and a lot of pain in her eyes.


    "Nana... Please listen to me first, it''s not what you think. Don''t take to heart what I just said in there. I


    have believed in you from the very beginning. But my mother was having a heart attack, and I didn''t


    want to add to her stress. Do you understand me?" Ethon wrapped his arms around hers tightly. The


    expression in his eyes looked even more secretive.


    Struggling to be as far from him as possible, Fiona restlessly pushed him away. "Let go of me. What''s


    the point of saying that now? If your mother is having a heart attack, you can go and apany her.


    You don''t need to worry about me."

    "Nana, calm down, please? I know I made a mistake. I offended you. I hurt you. All of this is my fault."


    Ethon looked rather guilty. He couldn''t even look Fiona in the eyes as he lowered his head in shame.


    He was having so many mixed emotions.


    "You don''t need to say anything now. I''ve already lost. In front of your mother, I''ve lost my dignity. Did


    you even stop to think about my feelings? Because if you had, even for just a second, you wouldn''t


    have done that. I don''t understand you. I''m trying, but I really can''t, and quite honestly, I don''t want to.


    How could you do that to me? Am I just nothing in your life?" The feelings she had been holding back


    for so long, all the pain and disappointment, finally burst out from her chest. Eventually, she was able to


    push him away.


    "It''s all my fault, Nana. Please don''t be mad at me. I didn''t have a choice. But can''t you see that I''m


    here trying to exin it all to you? Ethon narrowed his eyes. He felt like it was his turn to have a heart


    attack. He was afraid that Fiona would really break up with him.


    "Exin? What''s the use of exining now? What can I do with your exnation? Why are all men like


    this? Why do you have to wait until your woman is feeling dejected before you exin anything?


    Everything that you''re saying now is unnecessary. Why didn''t you have the courage to defend me?


    Why couldn''t you have said all of that in the ward earlier? Your mother threw dirty water on me, but you


    didn''t even dare to speak one word in my defense. You''ve told me numerous times that you love me. Is


    this how you treat the person that you supposedly love?" Fiona stepped back, feeling extremely


    drained.


    As noon turned into dusk, the clouds in the sky were dyed with orange. It looked like enchanting times


    wereing to end, and dark would be here soon. It was like the atmosphere between them.


    "Then what can I do? The doctor just called me in to inform me about what happened. She said that my


    mother was not in very good condition. Do you really want me to piss her off?" Clenching his fists,


    Ethon stood there, feeling very much helpless.


    "Did I ever tell you to piss her off? Your mother hasn''t liked me from the beginning. Because of my


    family background, especially my parents, she ignored all of my efforts. In her eyes, I can''t even be


    compared to Sh. Since you listened to her so much, maybe you should just marry Sh. You will be


    a filial son, and I... Will have nothing to do with you."


    A conflict between a mother-inw and a daughter-inw would often get out of hand because of a


    compliant husband. Although Fiona had yet to experience this, she knew from watching too many TV


    shows that Monica''s attitude was clearly a standard for a harsh mother-inw. If she were to really get


    married to Ethon, it might be hard for her to live peacefully in the future.


    For a moment, there was a hint of malice in Ethon''s eyes. With a cold expression on his face, he


    asked, "Don''t you believe in me?"


    While looking at him with a bitter smile on her face, Fiona couldn''t help the tears from flowing down her


    cheeks. She scoffed before responding. "That''s right, Ethon. We need to let go. No matter what we do,


    we can''t be together. Your mother hates me very much."


    Her nose twitched, and tears just continued streaming down her face. When the end seemed to be on


    the horizon, one could not help but remember where it all started. For Fiona, what came to mind was


    the first time that she met Ethon in senior high school.


    They happened to be in gym ss at that time. Fiona was identally hit by a basketball. Ethon came


    to the rescue and took her to the school''s clinic. Their love began in that ss so many years ago, but


    it was no longer there.


    Ethon gnashed his teeth in disbelief. With an intense expression on his face, he red at Fiona. He


    suddenly stepped forward and ced his hands on her shoulder. "Don''t worry. I''ll make sure that my


    mom will ept you."


    "You don''t need to say that to me, Ethon. I know how terrible marriage is going to be without a parent''s


    blessing. Just let go of me. While we haven''t fallen too deeply into this rtionship yet, you should let


    go of me. If we do it now, it''ll help you move on with your life as soon as possible. Your parents have


    paved a good path for you. I''m actually so envious of you. Your mother is too much of a realist, but


    she''s right. If I chose to be with you, I would only bring embarrassment to the Yu Family." Fiona spoke


    each word with a bittersweet smile on her face.


    "Why are you saying this? You''re the best partner I could ever hope for, and we love each other so


    much. Our rtionship won''t end up the way you''re picturing it to be." Ethon frantically shook his head.


    The frustration was consuming him.


    He had started to realize that it seemed like there was now a space between the two of them. It made


    him feel uneasy that Fiona was trying to stay away from him.


    Love had always needed two people for it to work out. But when it came to breaking up, it would only


    take one person. If one person wanted to give up, the rtionship would naturallye to its end. No


    matter how persistent the other person was, it was useless.


    "Well, stop deceiving yourself. Go back, or your mother will have a heart attack again." A bitter smile


    crept across Fiona''s delicate lips. Today was definitely the worst day of her life.


    Ethon took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. But no matter how many breaths he took,


    there was still a lot of emotions going through his mind. Suddenly, he said, "What if I can make my


    mom change her perception of you?"
