Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 347

Watching this scene unfold from the shadows, Bella couldn't help but smile.

When it came to handling men, her mother was truly in a league of her own.

Whether Brandon was happy or not wasn't Bella's concern.

She turned and went back to her room.

She still wasn't used to the guest room. Since it was usually empty, the room always had a faint musty smell.

Bella hadn't slept a wink the first night she stayed there.

She wanted to just leave and check into a hotel, but this was her home now. Why should she be the one to go?

Besides, her mother was pregnant, and pregnancy at her age was quite risky.

Bella felt that she couldn't just abandon her mother at such a critical time. If something were to happen, if there were serious consequences, she was afraid she'd regret it for the rest of her life.

Back in her room, Bella carefully reviewed the information on the properties she had seen that day.

Initially, she hadn't really considered buying a house as part of her wedding gift from her family, but what her mother said made sense.

If she didn't seize this opportunity now, the Mercer family might change their minds and refuse to buy her one later. The amount of money she had on her own would make for a pathetic wedding gift.

Sabrina agreed without a second thought. She first charmed Martin, telling him she wanted to spend the weekend with her daughter without mentioning they had already picked out a house and were ready to buy. They left in a hurry right after breakfast.

"Mom, why isn't Lillian home?"

Sabrina replied, "The old man said she went to take care of her crazy mother and comatose grandmother for the weekend. Heh, the sick taking care of the sick. It's ridiculous. So many men in the Mercer family, and not one of them is willing to spend the time or energy.

"That Lillian, she deserves to be sick. She doesn't even know how to take care of herself, always putting others first."

"Forget about her. It's better that she's not here, so she won't find out what we're doing. If she were home, she might get in the way. I don't want anything to jeopardize this house purchase."
