I Have Never Been Your First Choice novel Chapter 209

Chapter209

Charlotte wanted to pull her hand out, but couldn’t break free. After struggling for a while, she couldn’t help but laugh, Jaxson, didn’t you say before that you wanted me to keep my distance from you? You didn’t want people to misunderstand, right? How come you’ve forgotten what you said now?”

Jaxson furrowed his brow slightly, as if remembering that he had indeed said those words.

I thought she didn’t care either…

The man loosened his grip on her wrist slightly, “You do remember clearly.”

I have a good memory, some things you have forgotten, but I have not forgotten.”

Charlotte completely broke free from him, speaking in riddles.

She had tried to approach him many times, but all she got was his silence.

Anyway, that experience was a nightmare for him, so he just forgot about it.

Charlotte’s eyes carried a faint smile of indifference, “We are still better off not getting involved with each other like before. I appreciate you helping me out today, but that’s what you should do, I don’t owe you anything.”

Without waiting for his response, Charlotte left without looking back.

Jaxson still stood in the courtyard, a hint of compassion fleeting in his eyes.

Gustavo and Maggie had just returned home from the hospital, and on the way, they noticed their neighbors looking at them strangely and gossiping

behind their backs.

Maggie was too familiar with this atmosphere.

Whenever there was a little gossip in anyone’s family, it was always like this.

Hey, Gustavo, you two are back? Hey, I heard that your daughter is being a mistress for a wealthy family, is it true?” The vendor on the roadside, who is usually bold and loves gossip, directly asked when he saw them.

Gustavo and Maggie’s faces changed as soon as they heard it.

Gustavo angrily said, “Nonsense, who spread this rumor?”

I don’t know, someone told me, it’s all over the street.”

As more and more people gossip, Gustavo’s face turned pale with anger, “Who is spreading these rumors! My daughter is not a third party!” Gustavo, it’s not us saying this, it’s just that you have always said that your daughter got married, but it’s been so long and we only see your daughter coming back alone, we don’t see your son–in–law either.‘

Yes, as the saying goes, there’s no smoke without fire. If it’s not true, how could such rumors spread?“,

Gustavo choked, feeling a sense of having a valid argument but being unable to refute it.

Maggie hooked Gustavo’s arm and glanced at them, saying forcefully, “How many son–in–laws don’t come to visit their in–laws? Has the son–in–law from the Sun family ever come to see his father–in–law? Besides, when children get married, it’s for them to live their own lives as a couple, not to live with us parents. Why do we care if he comes or not? Has the Sutton family invited him to come and be a son–in–law?

Maggie’s words also silenced the rest of the people.

She continued, “Whoever is spreading rumors about my daughter, even if I have to act like a shrew, I will definitely not let them off easy!”

After Gustavo and Maggie left, the crowd of onlookers dispersed.

When he got home, Gustavo was so upser that he couldn’t even drink water, sitting on the sofa, so worried that his hair turned white.

Maggie took out the chilled fruit slices from the refrigerator and placed them on the table. “Gustavo, it’s just a rumor, don’t take it too seriously.”

“I don’t care at all,” Gustavo’s mindset was about to collapse, It’s really like a leaky roof that meets continuous rain at night. After my son had an accident, there hasn’t been a single smooth day!”

Maggie hesitated to speak.
