Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1830

Chapter 1830

Murray nodded as well. “Although our family is not that well off, we’ll definitely treat you well.”

At a glance, Ellen could see that the Fullers were dressed averagely, and that Murray always had a sense of inferiority in front of Connor, as if he was not confident and was constantly trying to please him. While Ellen did not look down on them, there was nothing sincere about their faces. In fact, as they were saying nice things on the surface, their eyes were constantly sizing her up.

“Not bad, Ellie. Our families know each other well, and you shouldn’t be too picky at your age. As a girl, it’s about time for you to get married.” Connor was still a chauvinist in some ways, and he spoke without considering her feelings.

With Ellen’s meek appearance, no one could figure out her emotions and they assumed that she was an easygoing person and that she would even agree to marry someone on a whim. However, while she was indeed an easygoing person, when it came to marriage, she would definitely not be fooled simply.

“Uncle Connor, Aunt Olivia, I’m done with my meal. I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first. Upon saying that, Ellen picked up her bag and fled the scene without another word.

If she stayed any longer, she might forget about maintaining Connor’s pride and throw a tantrum right then and there.

Connor and Olivia exchanged a glance, and the latter immediately chided, “How dare that girl embarrass us like this!”

Despite Ellen’s actions, Christina laughed benevolently. “Oh, it’s fine. Girls are always shy! I’ll just tell Harv to contact her more in the future.”

From the way Christina was constantly placing food on his plate and urging him to eat, it was clear from a glance that Harvey was a mommy’s boy. Knowing this, Olivia sneered inwardly. If Ellen married into this family, her days would definitely be difficult as Christina didn’t look like she was easy to deal with.

After leaving, Ellen walked some distance before she was suddenly unable to suppress her frustration and her tears flowed out. Why was Connor doing this? Couldn’t she just live a good life alone? Had they ever considered her feelings when they did this?

Once lunch ended, Connor and Olivia had other business and took their leave, while the Fullers still remained seated. Without any outsiders around, the family no longer had any regard for their conversation.
