Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 437: Commit Suicide 

The Imperial Hotel was located right in the center of the busy district of Apliaria.

It towered over the other skyscrapers in the area, almost touching the clouds, and the building’s peak was not visible from the streets below.

On the top floor of the hotel was the luxurious presidential suite.

The doorbell rang, startling the man who was standing on the balcony.

He hung up the phone and put down the red wine glass on the table.

Turning around with a curious look, he walked into the room to unlock the door.

Pulling the door open, a middle-aged woman neatly dressed in a cheongsam was standing outside the hallway.

"Hello, Mom."

A warm smile flashed across Odin’s handsome face.He moved aside and gestured for her to come in.

The middle-aged woman was Maria.

Ever since Odin’s death had been announced at the press conference the other day, Maria refrained from stepping into the public eye.

The press didn’t think too much of her discrete behavior.

Everyone knew it was normal for a mother to mourn the loss of her son in private.

But they weren’t aware that she was patiently waiting in great anticipation.

She had been waiting for her son to return to her arms.

Maria hurriedly walked into the room, took off her sunglasses, and studied each feature of Odin’s face.

"You’ve gotten thinner.Why did you lose weight?"

"Mom, that’s not true at all.If you look closely, you’ll see that I’ve actually gained some weight."

Holding her hand affectionately, Odin shut the door.

"Didn’t you say that you would wait for me at home? What brings you here?"

Maria withdrew her hand and spent a few moments observing her son, who was a head taller than her.

After a few seconds of silence, her lower lip trembled, and her eyes turned red.

"Oh, Mom.Please don’t cry."

Seeing that her tears were about to fall, Odin quickly took two pieces of tissue and gently wiped the tears off her face.

Shaking his head with a smile, he held her tightly in his arms.

"You don’t look as beautiful when you cry."

Rolling her eyes at Odin’s remark, Maria pretended to be annoyed and hit his arm.

"Hey, what do you mean by that? You better take it easy on your mother.Just because you are all grown up now, you don’t think your mother’s beautiful anymore?"
