Chapter 299 Elmore Is So Shameless Elmore knew Vivien’s words were ironic, but there was nothinghe could do. He had to act humble since he now wanted Rory to marry Becky.Elmore pretended he didn’t comprehend Vivien’s words. “You’recorrect, Mrs. Ramos. I think a proposal of marriage is in order. Young people today are not as conservative as we do. They areimpulsive and have trouble controlling their actions.

They arenot to blame, and Rory is just as culpable. He failed to protectBecky as a man should. The news about them staying in a hotelroom has been out for a while. I think they should get married assoon as possible. If they get married, people will think they loveeach other. The sordid gossip will disappear. Don’t you think so?”This bastard! Vivien cursed silently. She would have cursed him out loud if itwould not damage the relationship between the two families. Stevie had a serious expression as well.

Elmore pretended tosuggest this proposal all for Becky’s sake, but Stevie was annoyedby this pretense. Times had changed when it came to relationships. Things weremuch more open than they used to be. Becky and Rory had notmade up, and even if they did, sex would be a normal thingbetween them. Elmore acted as if it was something shameful. “I disagree,” Stevie said.

“Only Becky and Rory know what is best for them. I think we should not incorporate ourselves into their affairs. 1 know that you have the best intentions, but youngpeople today do whatever they want. If something bad happensbecause of your good intentions, it will defeat the purpose.”Elmore’s expression went still. “You’re right, but now that Rorystill loves Becky and vice versa. It can be difficult for people fromprominent families to get married. They don’t always findsomeone who loves them for who they are. I want to have agreat-grandson as soon as possible.” “I get what you mean,” Stevie said. “We feel the same. We don’tget involved in Becky’s private affairs. If she loves who she’s withand he treats her well, we trust her decisions.”. Elmore was aware that his proposal idea was being easilyrejected. He changed the subject. “One should marry someonewho loves them. It would be good for them to live that way.”The rest of the conversation with Elmore remained focusedaround other topics.

Elmore did not leave until eight o’clock that evening. Vivien and Stevie looked at each other with stern faces afterElmore was gone.. “What is wrong with the Casper family? They were mean toBecky before, and they still have the audacity to proposemarriage between her and Rory!” Vivien snapped. “Does he thinkwe want the betrothal gift and compensation?” Stevie was angry, too. “That old man would do anything forinterests!”. Stevie was able to see things clearly after the conversation.

Elmore was usually aggressive. This time, however, both Stevieand Vivien replied to his suggestion sarcastically and Elmorekept a smile on his face the whole time. Elmore was so shameless. And it made Stevie and Vivien. disgusted,.
