Chapter 525: Michale Shaw Extra (16) Mistake, Begging You to Love Her

His emotions suddenly became agitated.

“Regarding your cousin’s death, my sister has always felt guilty. She believed she should assume the responsibilities that should have been his, taking care of the family and inheriting the company. Actually…”

“She used to play the violin and was good at singing.”

“But since then, she hasn’t touched the violin again because…” Archer Carter smiled bitterly, “my cousin was musically inept!”

“Our family seems to have reached a tacit agreement, for Grandma’s sake, allowing this mistake to continue and develop.”

“But she is not Tobias Carter!”

“She is not a machine. She has her own name, her own joys and sorrows, and hobbies…”

“She should have been like other girls, keeping the hairstyle she likes, wearing beautiful clothes, doing what she loves, and being with the person she loves, instead of living her life as Tobias Carter!”

“My cousin is dead. Why can’t he be allowed to become the past?”

“He has been dead for more than twenty years. As long as Grandma is alive, will my sister never be free?”

To the elders, this sounded like a curse on Grandma, extremely disrespectful.

No wonder Archer Carter got beaten!

“She has been trapped for more than twenty years. Can’t she pursue her own happiness? Is it wrong for me to say this?” Archer Carter was already in tears as he spoke.

“It shouldn’t be this way. It’s all wrong, completely wrong…”

“She is not Tobias Carter, she never was!”

Michale Shaw remained silent.

Because in the household registration information he found, there indeed was a Tobias Carter, who still hasn’t been removed from the registry, though the birthdate does not match the current “Tobias Carter”…

Yet, no one has ever seen the eldest daughter of the Carter family.

Michale Shaw wasn’t dumb; he could guess a thing or two.

He just didn’t expect the rumor of a kidnapping back then to be true.

Possibly because it involved a minor, the information was sealed off completely.

Suddenly, Archer Carter grabbed Michale Shaw’s arm, “Brother, you like my sister, you’ll keep liking her, right?”

“Please…”

“You like her, don’t you? Don’t give up on her; she is really good, perfect in every way. Look, she can cook, run a business, and make money.” Archer Carter grabbed him tightly, like holding onto a lifeline. “She, she…”

“She can also play the violin and sing.”

“I’m serious. Can you wait for her a bit longer?”

“She has feelings, trust me. She really… has some feelings for you.”

Michale Shaw’s heart ached as he reached out to pat Archer Carter’s head, “Okay, I’ll wait.”

Archer Carter laughed, but it was a bitter laugh as he kept drinking continuously.

Muttering all along:

“Wrong, all wrong…”

“You’re different, truly different.”

Michale Shaw was different from everyone, probably because of his distinctive personality and unconventional way of handling things, he was able to get close to my sister.

Archer Carter knew better than anyone:

A person like him is hard to come by again!

He wanted to hold onto him for his sister.

So he quarreled with the elders, but didn’t expect Grandma to hear, leading to today’s incident…

——

For some reason, Michale Shaw couldn’t get drunk tonight.

Archer Carter, however, was completely drunk, hugging a bottle and snoring on the sofa, while Michale Shaw stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, lost in thought until his phone vibrated, pulling his mind back.

It was Tobias Carter’s call. He answered, only to find his voice dry and hoarse.

“You drank?” Tobias Carter frowned.

“Had a drink with Archer.”

“He’s really at your place? Not answering calls, Uncle and Aunt are very worried.” Tobias Carter sighed with relief, “It’s his first time being slapped, I’m afraid he can’t take it.”

“He’s already asleep.”

“Sorry for the trouble, send me your address and I’ll have someone pick him up.”

“Let him stay here. It’s late, you should rest early too.”

The call was hurriedly ended; tonight Tobias Carter was also sleepless, because of Grandma, and also…

Michale Shaw!

Used to his teasing and joking demeanor, now suddenly serious and business-like, she couldn’t adapt all at once. Thus, truly, habits can deeply harm.

For the next period, Tobias Carter didn’t see Michale Shaw, but through the Shaw Family connections, he helped to arrange a consultation with overseas neurology specialists.

A week later, Elder Mrs. Carter was pushed into the operating room.

The surgery was very successful, requiring about three days of observation in the intensive care unit.

During this time, Michale Shaw was not idle, immersed in handling various work, becoming a workaholic, which made Assistant Merritt unable to keep up with his pace…

Alas!

This state, is like experiencing a breakup.

If he had known earlier it would be like this, would he have prayed for Young Master Carter to accept his courtship?

Every day, he wore a deadpan expression, like Mr. Hale was possessing him, it was really unbearable.

**

Tobias Carter stayed in the hospital for nearly a week.

Until Elder Mrs. Carter was transferred to a general ward, she was urged by her parents to go home and rest, but she didn’t want to go home, didn’t want to go back to the old Carter residence and continue being the young master of the Carter Family. At home, there were traces of Michale Shaw everywhere…

She sent the bodyguards back and wandered alone around the neighborhood for a long time.

Until late at night, she finally stepped back home.

At the beginning of the month, a crescent moon hung in the sky; the magnolia flowers in the neighborhood were blooming, their white petals pristine under the deep blue night sky and pale moonlight.

She loved flowers, but could never be like other girls, dressed in beautiful skirts, embracing the flowers and spring.

She took a deep breath and walked inside. When the elevator reached her floor, as it opened…

She was stunned for a moment.

Michale Shaw was leaning against the wall. After more than ten days of not meeting, his slightly longer hair covered his brows, though he wore a suit, it couldn’t hide his nonchalant demeanor.

When he raised his brow to look at her,

The untamed wildness between his brows softened a bit.

One hand in his pocket, the other playing with his car keys, seeing her appear, he straightened up, “You’re back?”

“Why are you here?”

“Waiting for you.”

“Something the matter?”

“Yes, can we talk inside?” Michale Shaw glanced at the door, “You were quite ruthless to change the door passcode so quickly.”

Tobias Carter bit her lip.

She always acted decisively. Since she rejected Michale Shaw, naturally she didn’t want him to come to her place again, hence changing the door lock passcode. But she didn’t expect Michale Shaw to show up now.

“Whatever you need to say, say it here.”

“Are you sure?” Michale Shaw raised his brow.

The night had deepened, the corridor wasn’t soundproof, and their conversation could easily be overheard.

Tobias Carter looked at Michale Shaw, then gestured for him to turn around before she begrudgingly entered the password. When they got inside, the place was a bit stuffy from being closed up for so long.

“I’ll open a window, make yourself at home.” After opening the window, Tobias Carter took out a cup and was about to pour water for both of them.

Then she heard from behind:

“I saw you when you entered the password earlier.”

Her hand shook, water overflowing from the cup.

“Your password at home…”

“When did it become my birthday?”

Tobias Carter’s scalp tightened, turning around, “That’s not your birthday, that’s…”

“What is it?” At this moment, Michale Shaw had silently appeared behind her, and at the instant she turned around, he took two strides forward, closing in and his shadow enveloping her, his presence unfolding smoothly.

The clean and invigorating scent, once again, stimulated all her senses.
