Chapter 145: Slow, heated kisses
Casaio didn’t wish to speak about Zilia to any of his parents. And now, suddenly his mother asked about her, which made him uneasy.
"You can go ahead and search someone for me," Casaio said. He felt if he would tell his mother how Zilia betrayed him, she would not even let Dominick marry the woman of his choice. As for Zilia’s punishment, he decided to make it happen in San Ravendale only. He had no intention to bring her to the palace.
Meanwhile, Mabel looked at her son in bewilderment. "What did you say?" She only wanted to confirm she didn’t hear anything wrong.
"I severed ties with Zilia. Forgive me for not telling about it earlier," Casaio said, keeping the normal face. He had no intention to show her the turmoil he underwent all this time.
"Did something happen between you both? Ask her to meet me once," Mabel said.
"She has left the capital forever," Casaio replied.
"What?" Mabel frowned. "Why didn’t you tell me before?"
"What difference would it have made? Mom, I won’t object for the proposal you bring for me. I will accept it without any protest. As for Zilia, I hope we never talk about her," he requested.
Mabel didn’t say much. "Fine. You took many years to realize that Zilia isn’t the one for you," she muttered.
"I won’t tell Gabriel it was you, who tried kidnapping Amelie," Casaio assured her. "However, I want you to stop here. Amelie is currently pregnant. You know this well too. If anything wrong happens, Gabriel will keep blaming you all his life."
"I wasn’t going to do anything to her pup. I only wanted to prevent their wedding to take place. But it seems fate had other plans," Mabel said, sighing. "In my eyes, Amelie isn’t suited for Gabriel."
