Chapter 117

“Allow her to reside at the Anderson villa so that she may instruct you on how to conduct yourself as the wife of a wealthy and influential family…” he said.

“What?” I laughed it off. “Let her teach me? You know what dad… it would be reasonable for her to teach me how to be a princess, but for her to teach me how to be a rich family’s wife?”

I couldn’t help but laugh as I shook my head.

“I don’t think so…” I continued. “She hasn’t even wed someone from a wealthy and influential family yet, so how would she have the experience to teach me?”

“Don’t say that, dad…” Brylee interrupted. “I believe that she would do well. She has her husband, and I know he’ll help her…”

Her smile was phony as she got off the couch, but she spoke in such

a way that it seemed extremely mature and giving, and I almost wanted to give her an applause for the very wonderful acting she was putting on.

After hearing this, Julio’s expression changed to one of anger.

“I’m doing this for your own benefit, Celine!” he snarled. “Pack up your things, Brylee! You’re going with them later!”

After he finished speaking, he slammed his cup down on the coffee table, causing the contents to spill out all over the glass surface.

CELINE’S POV

“It’s not necessary for Brylee to go home with us at this time…” Sebastian abruptly cut in as we were talking, and his hand was holding mine, squeezing it as he spoke. “Celine is doing well as my

wife…”

Julio gave a frowning face to my husband while pausing for a time as he gazed at him. “I’m doing this for your own good, Sebastian…” He insisted, and he seemed like he had no plan on giving up. “This is for the sake of your family. Celine’s private life has always been a little messy and in trouble. It’s entirely my fault because I didn’t teach her well…”

I didn’t know how to react to everything that my father was saying to Sebastian, and he was talking as if I wasn’t in the room with them.

“From this point on, this is also my responsibility, you and Celine…” he added as he watched the ser vant clean the mess he made on the

table. “In light of the fact that she’s now your wife and holds the title of Mrs. Anderson, it is incumbent upon me, as her father, to instruct my daughter in a valuable life lesson. Otherwise, there will be a lot of rumors going around about her…”

“My wife doesn’t need anyone else’s opinions or someone to teach her to become my perfect wife! As long as I think that she’s good and I can see that nothing is wrong in our relationship, it is more than

enough!” Sebastian looked at me with a small smile before saying, ” You should do your best from now on, okay?”

I turned my head in his direction, and the previous things he had said to me started playing over and over again in my head. “I’ll make you fall in love with me, Celine…”

All of a sudden, I had the impression that he was quite kind, but for some reason… I found it difficult to accept him in that state.

I became rigid for a brief period of time, and I was aware that he felt it as well, because he was so close to me that our bodies were touching. However, he didn’t move and instead kept the faint smile that was plastered on his lips.

It came to my attention that my father opened his mouth to speak, but I couldn’t help but grimace when he quickly closed it again when

Sasha cut him off.

“Well… considering that we’re all aware that the young master enjoys doting on Celine quite a bit, it would be best if you didn’t interrupt them, Brylee, my dear…”

As I turned to gaze at Sasha, I let out a sarcastic chuckle to myself.

“Thank you…” Sebastian murmured. “We should excuse ourselves now. Celine still needs to take some rest. We’ll get going…”

“Okay…” Julio gave a grumpy nod while furrowing his brows. “Please drive carefully…”

Sebastian nodded.

“Remember to come back to visit us again if you have time…” and he was looking directly towards me. “Okay, Celine…?”

“Sure!” I put on a fake smile and I believed everyone in the room noticed it except for my husband. “I’ll be sure to visit here frequently…’

After that, we got to our feet and walked out of the house with my husband’s hand holding mine.

The phony grins that were plastered across everyone’s faces in that room didn’t fully leave until their car had left the mansion entirely.

“Mom! Why did you help that woman!” Allen, who had been quietly listening to their conversation from the far th est nook of the house, suddenly remarked on something.

Even though he was busy playing on his mobile phone, he was still paying attention to what they were talking about the entire time. As soon as he watched them walk away, he couldn’t resist asking his mother about it and confronting her for defending Celine.

But Sasha remained silent and sat on the couch with a neutral expression glued on her face. It was obvious that she was likewise very frustrated with the current circumstances.

Julio noticed his wife’s reaction before he gave Brylee a worried glance before frowning. “Tell me, what did you do to the Anderson/ family for the days that you were staying there! Why haven’t they ended their marriage by this point? You did mention that Olivia Anderson was taking your side, but what’s happening now?”

Brylee didn’t speak. She lowered her gaze as she played the hem of her dress with her fingers, her thoughts were consumed by

Sebastian’s kind treatment towards Celine.

“I’m trying to talk to you, Brylee! Are you deaf?!” Inadvertently, Julio raised the volume of his voice.

“Dad, can you stop yelling at my sister?” Allen put down his phone and sat down next to her, reaching out his hand to put it on her shoulder and try to comfort her. “Don’t be sad, Brylee… I’m still here. I will never leave you. And I’m willing to help you if ever you need me…”

“You’ll help her?” his father scrutinized him. “What kind of help can you offer to your sister? Didn’t you see? Celine acted in such a haughty manner towards you. And Brylee… I might as well tell you, it

won’t be long before Celine wins Olivia over!”

After hearing this, Brylee turned her shocked gaze to Julio, watching his father as he began to walk back and forth across the room.

“Please don’t take it the wrong way, Brylee…” Sasha interrupted when she noticed that her stepdaughter’s eyes were filled with worry.” You’ve got to admit, you’ve seen Seb’s attitude today, haven’t you? It was obvious that he looked at your sister in a different way. My opinion is that you, as a woman, should be aware of the connotations associated with that gaze. Do you believe that it’s possible for you to win him back over your sister?”

“I told you that there was no way that you could be compared to your sister!” Julio yelled again, the tone of his voice felt a special intense level of annoyance. “At this point, with the exception of Olivia, the rest of the Anderson family does not have a strong opinion on how they feel about her. Once she gets pregnant again and gives birth to a child, let’ see what you can do by then!”

“She can’t get pregnant anymore!” Brylee suddenly uttered the words, her eyes blazing with rage as she thought of her sister being pregnant again. “It would be very difficult to get pregnant again with only one fallopian tube!”

“And so what? If she really wanted to, she could always have a baby carried by a surrogate. Are you seriously going to hold your breath till she announces that she’s pregnant again before you start to worry?” Julio chastised her for her lack of knowledge on the subject.

Brylee didn’t say anything. She bowed her head as tears started to pool in her eyes while clenching both of her fists.

“Have you thought about my proposal last time?” Julio’s voice suddenly became more calm as he hoped that this time, his daughter would listen to him and take his request into consideration.
