The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 458

458.Chapter 458

Adeline asked, “You… What are you trying to say, child? Are you trying to corner your own mother? Everything I’ve done has been for your sake!”

“For my sake? You keep saying it’s for my sake, but why can’t you and Father agree to me marrying Sophie? She finally said yes to me, and now it’s you two who are standing in the way!” Caleb clung to his mother’s legs, bawling like a child, his face a mess of tears and snot.

Dale took a deep breath, trying to suppress the urge to beat some sense into his foolish son.

“Caleb Nevill!” Dale’s voice thundered, calling his son by his full name.

Dale’s voice thundered, calling his son by his full name.

The shout startled Caleb, and he quickly let go of his mother’s legs, scrambling to kneel before his father. “Father…” “Father…”

Caleb stole a glance at his father’s expression, still unwilling to give up as he cautiously pleaded, “Father, I really want to marry Sophie. I’m begging you, just this once, please agree!”

Dale looked at his pitiful state, his fists clenching tighter and tighter.

Adeline snapped, “I do not agree!”

Gritting his teeth, Caleb turned back to his father, continuing to plead, “Father, if you agree to this one thing, I swear I’ll do whatever you and Mother say from now on!”

Dale’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Whatever we say?”

“Yes! Whatever you say! Father, I swear I’ll do anything you ask!” Caleb nodded vigorously, his tone full of determination. “Alright, then.”

Dale suddenly agreed.”

This made both Caleb and Adeline’s faces change dramatically.

One was thrilled beyond belief, while the other was consumed with fury.

“Thank you, Father!” Caleb exclaimed, his excitement overflowing.

“No! Absolutely not!” Adeline snapped, her tone sharp and resolute.

Caleb was already eager to move forward, but Adeline stood firm in her opposition.

She quickly stepped to Dale’s side. “How could you agree to something like this, so easily? I’ve told you before, there’s no way that little tramp is stepping into this house! Maybe it was tolerable before, but now she’s nothing more than an illegitimate child! How could someone like her ever deserve Caleb?”

“Enough!” Dale’s gaze turned icy. “You are the Marchioness of this estate. How can you go around calling someone a ‘little tramp‘? If word gets out, won’t people laugh at your lack of decorum?”

Adeline froze under his reprimand, her voice trembling with grievance. “But I’m only thinking of our son! I admit I shouldn’t have said that, but she’s been scheming against Caleb, scheming against the heir of the Marquis’s estate! How can you let Caleb marry a woman like her?”

“That’s enough. Caleb has ended up like this, and as his parents, we both bear responsibility. Now, as you said earlier, we must find a way to make amends.” Dale let out a heavy sigh. “If Caleb wants to marry her, then let him marry her.”

Caleb could barely contain himself. He wanted to jump up and hug his father right then and there.

He thought, ‘Yes! Finally! Dad really does care about me!
