Spoiled By The President: My Wife Is A Little Sweet
Chapter 619 She Said No

Chapter 619 She Said No

So, she would never land in the trap.

For a moment, her courage seemed to have overflowed. Suddenly she reached out and took off the bracelet on her wrist.

Then, she gave it back under Christine's surprised gaze.

"Mrs. Nixon, I appreciate your kindness. But I'm can't be your goddaughter. You should take it back."

Christine stood there dumbfounded.

Others were stunned, too.

Although they all resented Christine's contemptuous manner,

they had to admit that there were countless women trying everything to marry a rich man like Max Nixon!

If Laura accepted the bracelet, she would earn the title of Mrs. Nixon's goddaughter even if she could not marry Max in the end.

She could protect herself with this title from now on.

And Christine made the offer of her own accord, so there was no going back on it.

Surprisingly, however, Laura said no!

It meant that Laura turned down Christine in front of others!

Unless she could stay with Max in the end, Christine would certainly give her a hard time in the industry!

Now while everyone looked at Laura in sympathy,

Laura remained calm and undaunted.

A look of annoyance crossed Christine's face.

She didn't expect Laura to do this.

She gasped for air, with her chest heaving. Then she pointed at Laura and said, "Well, Laura, don't expect Max to marry you!" Laura said nothing.

Christine sneered, "I'm telling you. Even if he likes you, you can never marry him without my permission!"

"Who says she will marry me?"

A voice boomed out outside the door.

Everyone went from shock to surprise.

Max came back.

Max came in against the light in a black suit, grim-faced.

There was a distant look in Laura's eyes.

Wasn't he out?

He wasn't here this morning. Why was he back?

Max came in with an angry face and stood in front of Laura.

Then he scowled at his mother, "mom, why are you here? I already told you that you can't just barge in someone's house whenever you like." Christine looked at her son in surprise and gave a reluctant smile.

"Max! What are you talking about? I'm your mother! I have every right to be here!"

Max furrowed his brow and gave Jim a look.

Jim lowered his head and dared not speak.

No joking here! How dare Jim get involved in a dispute between his boss and his mother?

He knew better than this.

Max found it understandable, so he waved his hand to signal them to leave.

He rubbed his forehead in confusion and said, "Mom, I didn't mean that!"

"I don't care what you mean!"

Christine was trying to threaten Laura before.

Now that Laura turned her down, and that she was put into an awkward position by her own son, she was boiling with rage!

She pointed at Laura and growled, "Tell me! What exactly is your relationship with this woman?"

Max turned to Laura and stared at her out of those washed-out dark eyes.

Laura tugged at the corner of his clothes and motioned him to stop defending her.

But to her surprise, Max took her hand.

Then he turned to his mother and said seriously, "mom, Laura is the love of my life and I will marry her."

Stunned, Christine stood there looking at her son in disbelief.

"What? What did you just say?"

Max repeated, "I love her, and I will marry her! And I'm not asking for your opinion. I'm telling you, and I don't care if you like it or not. If you replace it hard to accept this, I can cut all ties with the Nixon family and move out completely. If that's the only way for you leave us alone! I'll do it!"

Christine was wigged out.

She didn't expect her son to be so rebellious.

"Leave them alone? Move out?"

"He wants me to disown him for a woman?"

She pointed at Max, trembling with anger, "you... this is insane! Nonsense! I can't believe you would talk to me like that for a woman!"

Laura was shocked at his words as well, because last night, she thought Max would choose his family over her.

Now Max proved it to her.

He would not!

He would stand beside her and protect her forever.

The rims of Laura's eyes were red.

This time, she decided to muster up the courage to face the problem she had always been afraid of.

"Mrs. Nixon," She looked at Christine and said, firmly and gently,

"I apologize for my discourtesy. We do love each other. I have no desire for power or wealth. If you don't believe me, I can assure you! Even if we get married someday, it will never be public; I will never make personal gain under the guise of the Nixon family! I swear to god that I will fulfill my promise!"

Max clapped his hand over Laura's mouth as she stopped speaking.

"What are you talking about?" was Max's sharp reprimand. Laura smiled.

Max's angry look made Laura feel his love for her for the first time.

And his behavior had touched her heart deeply.

She gently removed his hand from her mouth and held it tightly.

Sensing the emotional change in her attitude, Max held her hand tighter without hesitation.

No detail was too small to escape Christine's eagle eye.

Her face pulled longer.

Laura continued, "Rest assured, Mrs. Nixon. I've made a promise. If you could give me a chance to prove to you that I'm not a gold digger..."

Max was touched deeply.

He knew Laura so well!
