Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 328

Bella’s heart sank. She truly hadn't expected Sebastian to put a hold on even mentioning marriage.

She had thought when he said he would marry her, it meant a wedding was just around the corner.

But now, because of Lillian's illness, Sebastian was putting their marriage plans on hold.

No wonder Lillian had been so arrogant when she came home. She must have predicted all of this.

"Postpone the wedding? Sebastian, this won't just drag on and eventually fizzle out, will it?"

Not hearing about the divorce directly from Sebastian had already made Bella feel a nagging sense of unease.

Now, the wedding was off the table. Because Lillian was sick, the topic was closed.

Who knew how long Lillian would be sick or how long her treatment would take?

If Sebastian was going to base their marriage timeline on her condition, did that mean she would have to wait as long as Lillian was ill? In this situation, Bella felt she didn't have that much patience, nor could she afford to wait that long.

Sebastian immediately refuted her. "Of course not. We just need to wait a little longer. I still need some time to work on my parents. Don't worry, I promised to marry you, and I will. You can count on it."

Bella wanted to say more, but after thinking it over, she held her tongue.

What was the use of arguing now?

Sebastian was using his parents' disapproval as an excuse. What could she do?

Fortunately, she already had a plan for this.

His parents didn't approve?

Bella nodded. "Sebastian, I trust you'll always look out for me. Thank you."

As she spoke, she lowered her head, and Sebastian took a tissue to wipe away her tears.

After finally calming her down, Sebastian let out a sigh of relief.

Back in his office, he immediately called Lillian. Only after dialing did he remember that she had blocked him long ago.

So he switched to the landline on his desk.

Lillian was in the middle of working. She glanced at the caller ID but didn't recognize it as Sebastian's office line and answered it casually.

Then she heard Sebastian's voice on the other end. "Lillian, why did you tell Bella about the divorce?"
