Celeste continued, “But there are many things in the world where
sincerity alone isn’t enough to make it happen. We also need to
consider many other factors. I think you understand the reasons well.”
Her casual words were like huge rocks that crashed into Steven’s
heart, stirring up wave after wave.
Celeste said nothing else and turned around to leave.
Bella quickly caught up to Celeste and grabbed her hand, her gaze
confused and anxious. “Aunt Celeste, why? You’ve praised Steven in
front of me not just once before, and you have always liked him. Why
did you change your mind too?”
“Liking Steven and marrying my daughter to him are two separate
matters.”
Celeste’s tone was still soft, but her words were sharp and piercing
Although Wyatt took Steven as his godson, it was only because he
admired Steven’s character. But what the Lovett family had done
recently made Wyatt unhappy. Wyatt is not hungry for power, and he
doesn’t care about social status, but we could not let Amelia marry
into an immoral family like that. I agree with him on this.”
“Aunt Celeste, Hunter is his own person. He can’t represent the whole
Lovett family!” Bella tried her best to speak for Steven.
“Wyatt and I have decided. Amelia is still young, and she hasn’t graduated from university yet. It’s too early to talk about marriage
now. We’ll see in the future.”
Weird. It was too weird.
It was one thing that Wyatt insisted on acting this way due to his
male ego. But why did Celeste’s attitude suddenly change drastically, as if they had reached an alliance?
“Ms. Bella.”
Bella turned around and saw Steven standing alone a few steps away
with a pale face, and even his voice sounded cautious.
“Steve, did you hear everything?” Bella felt bad for him. novelbin
“Ms. Bella, thanks for worrying about Amelia and me.”
Steven forced a bitter smile. “Let’s take it slow. I believe that as lo
as Amelia and I love each other and stay together, they may ac
us one day…”.
One day.
How long was he going to let his beloved woman wait?
Steven choked up, unable to continue speaking.
A bitter and sour pang of pain spread in Bella’s_heart. She walked to
him and patted his shoulder: “Steve, you have a tough road ahead with Amelia. Amelia is timid and easily influenced, and Aunt Celeste doesn’t have the final say. Your brother is a bastard who crossed Wyatt’s bottom line, so Wyatt is venting his anger on the Lovett family.”
“Hunter is not my brother anymore.”
Steven gritted his teeth. “When he lost his sense of justice and allied
himself with Shannon for power and fame, he stopped being my
brother. I’ll go home and tell my father that if he doesn’t do anything about Hunter, I will officially sever ties with the Lovett family. Then I won’t be a Lovett anymore.”
Bella sighed and said sternly, “Don’t do this, Steve. Your extreme
approach won’t solve the root of the problem.
“Justin and I will handle Hunter. After all, he is your brother and the eldest son in the family, so your parents put their hopes on him. Your parents aren’t in good health. If you deal such a huge blow to
them, your family will really fall apart.”
“Ms. Bella…” Steven fell into a deep struggle, his clear eyes welling up
with tears.
“Like me, you cherish your family very much. I don’t want to see
get estranged from them. Whether it’s about Amelia or Hunter, I
do my best to help you.”
Bella’s gaze was burning. “I’d rather be the villain than let you be one
