Chapter 3209: Chapter 3206: Everyone Has Their Own Privacy

Crewe had never imagined that his own little sister would turn down a man as outstanding as Chu Molin, but now that he knew about the feelings between Chu Molin and his wife, even he felt his judgment of people had been a bit off before.

Still, he was genuinely happy that neither of them had grown distant because of this; that was something really rare.

"Alright, I’ll go pack my things first, then I’ll go and say goodbye to Madam and the others later." After getting the answer he wanted, Chu Molin said this to Crewe.

"Okay, you go ahead and pack up properly. I’ll head back to my room first. We’ll go downstairs for dinner later, and you can leave tomorrow morning." Crewe saw that it was getting late and they couldn’t keep talking; otherwise it would be hard for them to find another chance to get together.

"Sure." Chu Molin had no objection.

He knew that taking his leave at this time would be impolite, so he agreed to Crewe’s arrangement.

In fact, Chu Molin didn’t have much that needed to be packed.

He was only doing this because he didn’t know what else to do at the moment. With nothing to occupy him, his mind kept going to his wife—thinking of the path she’d taken that she could no longer turn back from, wondering whether she was suffering somewhere, or going hungry as she waited for him to bring her home.

So he wanted to do something to distract himself; only this way could he put his worries down for a while and think more clearly.

Now that he’d heard what Crewe said, his heart settled, and he had the composure to slowly pack his few belongings.

"Good evening, Madam." When Chu Molin came downstairs, Mrs. Stout had just come down as well, and he nodded to greet her.

"Hello, Molin." Mrs. Stout smiled and nodded in response.

"Madam, I’d like to bid you farewell. I’ll be taking my leave tomorrow morning. Thank you for the warm hospitality your whole family has shown me these past days." Chu Molin didn’t say anything more beyond that.

"You’re leaving already? Have you found the person you were looking for?" Hearing what Chu Molin said, Mrs. Stout asked him.

"Madam knew I came here to look for someone?" Chu Molin was surprised; he hadn’t expected that, even though he’d never mentioned it, Mrs. Stout had somehow known.

"I did. I just didn’t expect you to find a lead so quickly. It seems your abilities really are quite impressive. It’s fine—since you’ve found something, go pursue it. Come visit again when you have time." Mrs. Stout didn’t say much more; at this moment, she genuinely felt that Chu Molin was a very capable man.

It was a pity he couldn’t become her son-in-law. She had seen from the very beginning what was behind Chu Molin’s choices, so she’d spoken to her daughter in advance and hadn’t let the girl develop any feelings for him.

The reason Mrs. Stout did this was entirely because her husband treated her very well, and she didn’t want her daughter to go through any unhappy experiences like that.

Now, seeing him like this, she agreed with his decision. And most of the time, he hadn’t caused their family any trouble. Now that he was leaving, she had no reason to hold him back.

This wasn’t about anything else; it was just that, at a time like this, anything she said would be unnecessary.

"Thank you for understanding, Madam. Since you knew why I came, why didn’t you ask me about it before?" Chu Molin was quite curious about this point.

"Because everyone has their own privacy, and it’s not like you did anything out of line. At a time like that, what would be the point of me asking?" Mrs. Stout knew that saying more would be useless—there was simply no need. And Chu Molin was someone with very strong views of his own; if she’d asked, if she’d intervened, he might not have appreciated it. So she chose not to ask, not to pry, and just waited for him to speak when he was ready.
