The dinner concluded with a suffocating atmosphere.
Upon learning about the news of her marriage alliance with the Iverson family, Amelia acted like she was sitting on needles. Her delicate face lost all color as if all the blood had been drained from her body, feeling cold from head to toe.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the way home, she sat in the scar as her mother, not even having the chance to talk to Wyatt.
"Mom... Why?" Tears shone in Amelia's eyes as she choked up, asking, “You know I love Steven... You know that I only want to marry him. Why... Why do you wantto marry into the Iverson family?!” Bitterness surged in Celeste's heart, but she still replied calmly, "Your father and I think this is a more suitable marriage for you. Steven's personality is great, but we disapprove of his family. Based on what I know, the Lovett family doesn't like you and me. If you insist on marrying Steven and enter into a marriage his parents disagree with, you will suffer every day. Even your strong sister, Bella, has ended up with a divorce after spending three miserable years with the Salvador family." Celeste continued, "Moreover, Hunter has taken a stand against our family, throwing aside the kindness we've shown him in the past and becoming Shannon's defense lawyer. I know a professional lawyer should not pick their cases, but Shannon has repeatedly tried to harm your sister and..." Recalling the slanders and humiliation she suffered from Shannon when she was still an actress, Celeste still felt her heart ache. "Hunter's actions and his parents' indulgence are something your father and I can't tolerate. The Lovett family has lost their morals, and we don't want to bectheir in-laws." "But... But Steven is different from them!" Amelia felt as if her heart was squeezed tightly by an invisible hand, a lump forming in her throat. "Steven... Since he graduated, he has been working for Asher and Bella. Couldn't Dad see how loyal he was to our family?! If we completely deny Steven's efforts because of this, how upset would he be?!" Being genuinely innocent and caring, Amelia did not think of her future first. Instead, she felt indignant for Steven. "Bella toldthat she divorced Justin not because of pressure from the Salvador family. It's because Justin didn't love her back then and betrayed her. But Steven has never betrayed me!" Celeste's lashes fluttered, and she pursed her lips.
Amelia added, "Steven is nice to me... He is really nice...” Thinking of the wonderful times and moments of happiness she spent with Steven, Amelia's tears could not help streaming down her face. "Mom, I think I will never find another man that treatsso well... I don't want to lose him... I've loved him for so many years. I have had a crush on him since I was young... Now, I can finally be with him. Please convince Dad not to separate us, okay?" "Amelia, you are a daughter of the Thompson family. Don't you think you should do something for the family? Do you want to be a sheltered flower and an irresponsible child for the rest of your life?" Celeste had always been gentle in nature. Even when Amelia secretly applied to a film school to becan actress, Celeste did her best to convince Wyatt not to send Amelia abroad or stop Amelia from pursuing her dreams.
This time, her stern expression intimidated Amelia. "Mom..." "Amelia, every child of the Thompson family has to contribute to the family unconditionally. Even your sister, who seemed as free as a bird, traveling around the world a few years ago, had to return to help your father manage the hotel that was on the verge of collapse. Bella has to manage the vast KS Group in the future. You can only imagine how exhausting it will be." Amelia lowered her head, feeling inferior, her hands rubbing against each other until they were red.
Bella was not only her sister but also her idol.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Amelia was never like the sisters in soap operas, envious and dreaming of surpassing their dazzling sisters. She knew Bella was d amazingly talented, and Amelia could not hope to compare. .
But was this the reason she had to sacrifice her love? "Mom... I..." "Another thing is the Lovett family's status. They are too far below us for you to marry into." .
Celeste stopped looking at her daughter. She shook her head and said, "Your sister is strong enough and your future brother in law is the Samador Corporation's president. If you marry Steven, what help would it be to Bella and the Thompson family? Amelia, you always say you want to do something for this family. Now, it is your tto contribute." .

When they returned to Yara Park, Amelia's eyes were swollen fromm crying. She stayed in the car for a while before getting out, fearing someone might see her. .
Wyatt's car had arrived first, and he briskly entered the house with Quentin trailing behind.
