Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 300

"Also, their divorce is set in stone now. There's no changing it.

"Such a shame, such a shame!

"The Blake family... it's just never easy."

The biggest problem for the Blake family was its thin bloodline.

"Don't worry. We still have Lillian's son, don't we? If we raise him well, they might be able to mend their relationship in the future.

"Lillian will surely see that he's her own flesh and blood and be willing to lend a hand if the Blake family ever finds itself in trouble."

Bella found out that Sebastian had moved out of the family estate very quickly.

When she hitched a ride with him after work, she noticed the driver's route was planned to drop her off at the Mercer residence first, and then take Sebastian to his new villa.

Just that afternoon, after being discharged from the hospital, Bella had been excitedly telling Hannah that she might soon be able to move into the Blake family estate.

That place was the home of her dreams.

Throughout Northwyn, the finest residences were the old villas in the Blake family's district—incredibly stylish and home to the city's old-money elite.

Another famous area was Halfridge Villas, a newer development that housed the city's new-money tycoons.

Bella had long imagined that if she married Sebastian, she would insist on moving into the estate.

Such a beautiful villa would one day be hers.

Just as her hopes were soaring, she found out that even Sebastian had moved out.

"Sebastian, I thought you lived at the estate? Did the driver get the route wrong?"

Sebastian replied, "No, I've moved out."

Something inside Bella shattered.

At that moment, a thousand different scenarios raced through her mind.

"But things were fine at the estate, weren't they? Why... why did you suddenly move out?

"What about Noah? Did he move out with you?

"If so, I can start picking him up for school again tomorrow."

Sebastian said, "No need. Noah's still at the estate with his grandparents. You don't have to worry about him.

"You're already so busy with work. Use any extra time you have to rest."

"But... why did you move out? They're getting older. If you were living there, you could look after them. Wouldn't that be better?"

Sebastian already had a massive headache today.

The thought occurred to him that as he was dropping Bella home, his father was probably back at the estate, staring at those photos again.

He wasn't the father who had watched him grow up, and he didn't have much trust in him.

But Sebastian didn't care about any of that anymore.

"What is that supposed to mean?

"It was a complete slap in the face. No matter what, your Mr. Mercer was family by marriage.

"How could they be so disrespectful?

"Let me think of a way to deal with those two."

Hearing her mother was going to stand up for her, Bella's spirits lifted slightly.

"Mom, do you have a plan? We're talking about the Blake family, and they're Sebastian's parents. If we cause a scene, wouldn't it make Sebastian look bad?"

Sabrina scoffed. "Bella, have you forgotten? That old woman isn't Sebastian's real mother.

"Speaking of which, you've been with Sebastian for a long time now. What do you know about his biological mother?

"Where is she now?

"What if we helped Old Mr. Blake get a new wife?

"If both of your future in-laws are against you, then we'll just have to find you a future mother-in-law who's on your side. What do you think?"

Bella's face broke into a wide grin. "Mom, you're a genius! That's brilliant.

"If it works out the way you think, what do I have to worry about?

"If my future mother-in-law is on my side, my position will be secure!"
