To the Love of My Life

Chapter 220: 220: Mysterious Female Lead (14)

When his mother looked at him, Steve quickly shifted his gaze to Charlotte Madris.

An innate intuition told him that his mother was already staring at him, so he kept his eyes firmly trained on Charlotte.

After about a minute, Steve pretended to notice someone watching him, his gaze shifting slightly, and upon seeing his mother staring at him, quickly averted his gaze from Charlotte, and then turned his head to Rusell Henris beside him and answered his earlier question, “Nothing.”

As Steve spoke, he continued to keep an eye on his mother from the corner of his eye.

Mom seemed to have noticed his attention and moved her unwavering gaze from him but kept glancing at him from time to time.

Steve knew that his mother was closely watching him to see which woman he was most interested in.

The woman he paid the most attention to could be basically confirmed as the woman on the viewing platform.

Usually, Steve’s gaze would intentionally or unintentionally fall on Ruby Gregory, but today, he deliberately let his gaze drift towards Charlotte Madris.

Moreover, each time he looked at Charlotte, it was exactly when his mother was looking at him; he shamelessly pretended to be attracted to her, his gaze filled with a trace of fascination.

After repeated instances, Steve noticed that his mother’s gaze began to move towards the direction where Charlotte stood, and he knew that his scheme had been initially successful.

His mother had narrowed down the woman on the viewing platform to the few people around Charlotte.

Next, his goal was to have his mother place her full attention and suspicion on Charlotte.

With this thought in mind, Steve raised his wine glass and drained it in one gulp, then stared at Charlotte for a while before noticing that his mother was staring intently at him. At that point, he pretended not to notice and, with a slight tilt of his head, whispered into Rusell’s ear, “Can you help me call that one named… Sun…”

Steve hadn’t really paid attention to the name Rusell had mentioned earlier, only vaguely remembering the surname was Sun, so he paused for a moment before continuing, “The woman I just asked you about, have her come to the back door of the banquet hall.”

Rusell stared at Steve with a surprised look on his face, as he raised his hand and pinched his own thigh hard. Only when he felt the pain did he confirm that this wasn’t a dream.

Steve, who had always been indifferent to women, seemed to have gone crazy today, actually wanting to meet a woman?
