Chapter 1550 Crossing The Line
After Harvey sent Sonia to the campus, he didn’t return to the apartment immediately. Instead, he
called Arielle to ask her what a pregnant woman could eat to get energy if she was unable to tolerate
eating normal food due to nausea.
He listed down the food Arielle told him and went to the supermarket to buy them. When he left the
building, he was holding two bags of food. Just as he returned to Sonia, he saw an older woman pulling
her, which made him angry.
‘‘Who are you?’‘ Kelly glared at the man who had appeared out of nowhere. ‘‘This is my daughter. What
I’m doing to her doesn’t concern you!’‘
Harvey was stunned. He didn’t expect the older woman to be Sonia’s mother and his future mother-in-
law. Why am I so unlucky? I’ve already offended my future mother-in-law on the first day I met her!
However, when he saw the pain in Sonia’s eyes, his heart ached. So what if she’s Sonia’s mother? A
mother shouldn’t be treating her daughter like that!
‘‘I’m her friend!’‘ He calmed down and spoke seriously. ‘‘Sonia may be your daughter, but she’s also her
own person with her own thoughts. Can’t you see the way you’re treating her is hurting her and making
the gap between the two of you wider?’‘
‘‘Friend? What friend? Why don’t I know she has a friend like you?’‘ Kelly stared at him unkindly.
Clearly, she didn’t buy his lie.
Slowly, she became certain he was one of Sonia’s admirers. After all, her daughter was elegant and
graceful, so of course, there were a bunch of men who wanted to court her. Upon determining him as
one of them, she coldly ordered, ‘‘I don’t care what kind of friend you are. You better stay away from my
daughter. She’s not someone you can be together with.’‘
Harvey didn’t expect his intentions to be that obvious.
However, upon analyzing the look in her eyes and her facial expression, he let out a sigh of relief in his
mind. She’s just saying it willy-nilly.
And so, he continued in a sincere tone, ‘‘I really am her friend.’‘ Pausing, he added, ‘‘You’re treating her
a bit too harshly.’‘
There was no way he was going to give up on Sonia.
He had made up his mind to take care of her for the rest of her life if she wanted him by her side.
However, seeing how violent his mother-in-law was acting, he decided to not bring up the news just yet
to prevent making things worse.
Kelly was already experiencing a mild headache from the anger Sonia caused her. Hence, when she
heard what Harvey said, she didn’t mince her words at all. ‘‘This is a matter between me and my
daughter. This has nothing to do with you, so stop butting into our business.’‘
‘‘You’re going too far, Mother.’‘ Sonia didn’t expect her mother to still treat him that harshly when he had
already said he was a friend.
It made her angry and embarrassed.
Seeing how her daughter was close to tears, Kelly suddenly experienced a bout of motherly love and
said, ‘‘Don’t forget what I told you. Come back tonight.’‘
With that, she left.
Sonia’s eyes had turned red as she was thoroughly pissed off by her mother.
At that moment, she kind of looked like a rabbit in Harvey’s eyes. His heart ached as he gently pulled
Sonia into his embrace and patted her head. ‘‘No need to be sad. I’ll be there to support you if you
need help.’‘
She suddenly felt peaceful as she listened to his strong and steady heartbeats while in his embrace.
However, they were at the campus entrance. Therefore, it was rather embarrassing for her to hug him
in front of so many people. She immediately escaped from his embrace and suggested, ‘‘You should
head back. I still need to attend my classes.’‘
