Chapter 263 You Mark My Word (1/2)

Rom pushed up his gold-framed glasses and said in a stern voice, ”Aron, that's not how we do things in this family and that's definitely not what has gotten us to where we are right now!”

Even Lacey, who usually avoided commenting on such affairs, couldn't help chipping in, ”I have met this Martha a few times. She seemed nice. It's a pity that she wasn't born into a better family. But still, there is no doubt that she's a very nice and honest person. Aron, it's a big decision to make whether or not to keep the baby. I think you should give yourself more time to think about it.”

”...”

With all those uncalled-for reproach landing on him, Aron tried hard to suppress the anger rolling in his chest. 'What a trap maker!' he thought, 'Arvin is definitely the most devious man in this room that I should be watching out for.

And why wouldn't Martha tell me that she had gotten pregnant when I was with her last night? When I was trying to make out with her, the only thing she had said was that she wasn't feeling well. How the hell was I supposed to link that to her being pregnant?'

The air seemed to have frozen around as the silence dragged on. The rest of the people at the table started to worry that they might have been too hard on Aron and that he had gotten upset about it. They all knew he had a short temper.

So, please don't worry about me. In fact, I think we should be worrying about my brother, Arvin. I heard that he still doesn't want a child. Though Angela really wants one, he still refuses to. He once told me that they always use protection every time they do it...”

Nothing got the attention of elders easier than bringing up the idea of adding new members to the family.

Seeing that the conversation had totally turned Aron's mind, they couldn't wait to strike while the iron was hot and play it on Arvin too, which was exactly what Aron was aiming for.

The elders poured out their discontent about Arvin's refusal to have a baby throughout the whole meal. Even when Aron finished eating, he could still hear Lily scolding his little brother. ”I've waited so long for a great grandchild that I almost started to think that maybe Angela had difficulties conceiving or maybe I should have prescribed some medicines to her. Now I know that it's you who has been refusing to have a child and keeping us in the dark about it... Arvin, you're breaking my heart. Is this what you want? ”

Sitting next to Lily, Teresa hastily stretched her hand to calm her mother-in-law. ”Mother, please don't be mad at Arvin. Let's finish br

”Do you know what you did wrong? It's alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!”

When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.

Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah's misfortune...
