The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2101

The news of Asher and Arnold’s proposal in Botvia quickly spread. Within a day, the entire family knew.

Although everyone had already accepted that Arnold would be joining the Thompson family, the fact that two men were getting married still shocked them.

Wyatt rubbed his brow in frustration, his expression revealing a deep sadness. “Ash, do you not trust me? Do you not believe that I have fully accepted Arnold?”

The room fell silent as the couple froze in place.

“You hid this from all of us, kept it a secret, and even caused such a commotion yesterday, yet you did not dare bring Arnold home. Do you still think your father disapproves of your relationship?” Wyatt’s voice grew more emotional, his eyes slightly reddening.

Asher was momentarily lost for words. “Dad, that’s not what I meant…”
