Chapter 2856
“Sean is really good to me. I’ve made up my mind to marry him. Our biggest obstacle right now, however, is probably his brother…” Denise sighed when she thought of Sean’s brother.
Sean had told her that his brother was Joshua’s best friend, and unfortunately, Joshua had seen every bad deed she had done. She was genuinely afraid Sean’s brother would think badly of her and treat her with bias because of Joshua’s influence.
“Don’t worry.” Sean/smiled. “I’ll do everything I can to make him see my way. Even if I fail…”
He smiled again. “It doesn’t matter. I’m the one who wants to be with you, and I’m the one who’s going to give you your happiness. My brother’s opinion is just for reference purposes only. I won’t listen to
everything he says.”
He did not say those things in particular for Steven and Gwen to hear, but they felt his sincerity after hearing that.
Steven paused for a while and looked at Denise again. “So…when you called me to tell me you’re going back to the house to pack your stuff to live outside, it’s because you’re going to stay with him?”
Denise nodded. “Yes. I…want to go to Merchant City with him.”
Nothing in this city awaited her except for Steven; he was the only thing worth staying for. Although she used to have many friends, they were friends with the young miss of the Hughes family, Denise Hughes- not Denise the orphan.
Besides, even if her identity was reinstated, those friends she used to be friends with would not admit to being her friends. They might even laugh at her and belittle her.
She had been friends with those socialites long enough to understand them.
After internally debating with herself, she decided to go to Merchant City with Sean. They would register their marriage, and she would turn a new leaf and start afresh with him.
Steven sighed and took a good look at Denise. Although he was saddened that his sister was leaving, it was the best choice for Denise to leave this miserable place and be with Sean. Moreover, no one knew if Thomas might cause her trouble in the future because of how Denise plotted against him and Yannie.
Frankly, there was nothing much to pack. The most important thing was to take the adoption papers that proved she was adopted by the Hughes family. She was no longer a member of the Hughes family and refused to bear the family name anymore.
Therefore, she needed some evidence to sever her ties with the Hughes family.
“After I finish packing, we’ll head to Merchant City and never come back.”
Sean had fulfilled all of his purposes of coming to Saigen City. Other than helping Nigel and Neil to take care of Riley, he came to meet Steven.
With all these accomplished, it was time for him to head back.
“Sean.” When Gwen heard Denise saying that they were heading to Merchant City, she paused and waved at Sean. “Come here. There’s something I want to talk to you about.”
