Chapter 2696

charity’s eyes moved slightly. “Since you can’t get over me, why weren’t you worried when I committed
suicide? You even came to tell me that I was too desperate and that I was no different from other
women. You told me to stay far away from you if I wanted to kill myself and not to bother you because
you wouldn’t go soft-hearted.”

Monte was so ashamed that he wished he could slap his old self. “Lizzie, I thought you were pretending
to kill yourself at that time. I’m sorry. I made those nasty remarks so that you would give up on me
because getting my family to approve of US being together was too difficult.

Furthermore… you’re so wonderful that I didn’t think I deserved you.”

“Why do you think you deserve me now?” Charity asked in surprise.

Monte promptly held her hand and said fondly, “Lizzie, I can’t get over you, and that is the truth. Do you
remember how happy we were when we were together?”

“Young Master Patterson, I heard you have a fiancee. I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to hold my
best friend’s hand like this.” Freya appeared beside them with a half smile and threatening gaze. “Or do
you think my best friend is suitable to be your lover?”

It was undeniable that Freya’s presence was getting stronger after spending so much time with Ryan.

Monte was not afraid of Freya, but he did not dare to disrespect Ryan.

“Of course not.” Monte did not let go of Charity’s hand. Instead, he tightened his grip. “I’ve never
wanted Lizzie to be my lover. When we were in a relationship, she was officially my girlfriend.”

“But you already have a fiancee.” Freya said coldly, “In that case, stop pestering Eliza.”



“Lilian and I got engaged only because our elders forced US, and getting engaged is just a means to
delay things. Right now, I’m striving hard to inherit the Patterson family’s fortune. Then, I’ll be able to
decide on my marriage.”

With a handsome face and firm tone, Monte said, “I love Eliza. I was too cowardly back then, but now, I
want to work hard for her sake.”



“Sure. Since you love Eliza so much, hurry up and break up with Lilian.” Catherine walked up to him.
“stop pestering my friend until you end your relationship with Lilian. Otherwise, that would mean you’re
going against me.”

“That includes me.” Freya lifted her chin.

Monte was not annoyed. On the contrary, he felt a rush of excitement.

Given that Freya and Catherine were standing up for Eliza, it showed that they had a great relationship.

Once he gets back together with Eliza, he might be able to get to know the forces behind Catherine
and Freya.

“I was too rash. I’ll handle my affair with Lilian.”

Monte turned his eyes to Charity affectionately. “Lizzie, if I cancel my marriage with Lilian, will you get
back together with me?”

“If you’re serious, I’ll think about it.” Charity’s eyes were filled with helplessness, annoyance,
intolerance, hesitance, and all kinds of emotions. The feelings of love and hatred were clearly visible.
“Having said that… I’m worried that your family won’t accept me.



Regarding Chester and my affair- ”

“You were forced. You were a victim.”

Monte interrupted her. “What’s more, you showed me the purest side of you, and I still remember it. I’m
not the kind who’ll care about those things because you hold a special place in my heart.”

The man’s handsome face was gentle. At that moment, Catherine and Freya exchanged glances.

Sometimes, God was really unfair. He gave Monte a handsome face and a good voice that could easily
move a woman. With his emotional intelligence, he could easily succeed in relationships.

Many women would not be able to resist a man like Monte.

“Monte, I think Eliza is quite good.” Hugo walked up to him and said, “Everyone knows how bold and
wise Miss Robbins is. She’s much better than your fiancee.”

“I think that Lizzie is wonderful too.”

Monte’s lips curled into a grin, and his eyes were filled with affection.

They had fun until about 11:00 p.m.

Ryan gave Freya a call.
