The air turned heavy and suffocating.
Drew confirmed the suspicions Declan first gathered from their father.
This sent waves of turbulent emotions crashing through him.
Declan’s usually unshakable demeanor faltered as if he had lost all strength, leaving him drained and weakened.
“Dec, our father’s health is only being held together by the combined efforts of Ash, Arnold, Bella, and Justin. He can’t withstand any more shocks or disturbances. If you can’t manage your relationship with that princess, it will inevitably pose a huge threat to the Thompson family in the future.”
Drew narrowed his eyes, his expression cold as ice. “If you can’t handle it, I can do it for you. My words can be just as ruthless.”
“No. There’s no need for that.”
Declan lowered his long lashes to hide his pain. His voice was rough and almost unrecognizable. “I’ve already made it very clear to her that we’re finished. I’ve also told her we’ll never have further contact. I only brought her back tonight because I didn’t want her to be a drunk girl lying alone in the corridor. There’s nothing more than that.”
Seeing his gloomy brother, Drew sighed in resignation and placed a heavy hand on his shoulder. "Let’s go, Dec. If we don’t, Bella will start to worry."
The two brothers left the room.
As the door closed behind them with a creak, another door slowly opened.
With her frail and lonely form, Annabeth looked shattered, her face pale and broken.
“How could this happen…” Annabeth muttered in disbelief, shaking her head as searing pain spread through her limbs.
In reality, she pretended to be drunk to test Declan’s feelings for her.
She did not expect the royal family to have something to do with Declan’s mother’s misfortune.
They had become like Romeo and Juliet, trapped in bitter enmity.
Annabeth, supporting herself on the doorframe, slowly sank to the ground, her tears falling drop by drop.
…
Another good news tonight was that Carrie finally spoke.
Although she could only manage short sentences like a toddler, her ability to speak was nothing short of a miracle.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Bella, Justin, and the younger generation’s eyes filled with tears. Nigel held his granddaughter tightly, weeping uncontrollably, his tears flowing freely.
However, Bella kept the news of Amelia’s pregnancy private. She planned to inform Celeste and Steven first while everyone was out watching the aurora. After that, she would prepare Wyatt for the news with Celeste.
At least this way, he would be mentally ready to become a grandfather and avoid an emotional outburst with the sudden announcement.
Meanwhile, Justin stood before the dressing mirror, wearing the deep gray suit Bella had lovingly hand-stitched for him when she was still Anna Brown.
