Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249 Disagree to Their Marriage 

Deborah was unsure of what Rebecca meant. 

But on the other end, they didn’t say much and just hung up the phone. 

Somehow, Deborah’s heart suddenly became a mess. 

Suddenly, she remembered the day Mathias had kidnapped her, and how Cassandra had desperately tried to stop him, ultimately saving her life. 

At that time, Cassandra stood protectively in front of her, calling out affectionately, 

“My aunt’s baby.” 

Sometimes, human intuition and premonitions can become incredibly strong in just an 

instant. 

Deborah thought back to the recent phone call with Rebecca. Her voice was serious as she asked Deborah to come to Moxley Manor, insisting that there was something important to discuss. 

Moreover, everything that belonged to the Moxley family should have been returned to 

her long ago. 

Deborah sat by the window, her hand holding the sketching pen for the design draft, 

unable to move any further. 

She put down her pen and stood up. 

Suddenly, she felt a sense of panic, unease, and fear of facing what was to come. 

She probably just overthought it, but she still couldn’t shake the uneasiness in her 

heart. 

After much thought, she decided to give Joseph a call first. 

Joseph was in the middle of a meeting at work when he received a phone call from her. He immediately rushed back home. 

He went upstairs to the study, and as Deborah watched him enter, she finally felt a sense of relief. 

Deborah didn’t say what she was afraid of either. 

1/5 

But when Joseph heard her call him, heard the unease in her voice, and listened to the words Rebecca had told her, urging her to go to Moxley Manor, he couldn’t help but feel 

concerned. 

Joseph had already figured out what Deborah was afraid of. 

Or perhaps it’s not fear, per se. 

But things happened so suddenly that she didn’t know how to face them for a moment. 

She had always been a child with unknown biological parents, and in the blink of an eye, nearly thirty years had passed like this. 

There are some things that we no longer dare to hope for. 

Joseph walked closer and looked at her face, filled with unease. 

He reached out, took her hand, and reassured her, “Don’t panic. No matter what, let’s 

go take a look first.” 

If she’s overthinking it, then it’s not a big deal. 

After nearly thirty years, Deborah has made it through, so there’s no need for 

disappointment. 

In the future, she would have Alyssa and Joseph by her side, and she would never be 

lonely again. 

If it weren’t for her overthinking, Moxley Manor would truly be her home. 

There’s really no need to panic about this; it’s a good thing, a very good thing. 

Deborah gradually calmed down and nodded, “Alright.” 

Joseph led her out, got in the car, and took her to Moxley Manor. 

They had walked down this road countless times before, and were quite familiar with it. 

But this time, as Deborah looked at the road ahead, she felt a mix of emotions, as if her 

future was a vast unknown. 

The journey, which took less than half an hour, felt exceptionally long. 

The car finally came to a stop in the front courtyard of Moxley Manor. 

The season was approaching summer, yet the evening breeze outside still carried a hint 

of coolness. 

The car came to a stop, and Deborah first glanced out the window. 

Suddenly, she froze. 

In front of the car, the entire Moxley family was standing. 

Donna, Nora, Sebastian, and the three Moxley brothers all stood in front of the car. 

Not far behind them, Rebecca and Cassandra were standing. 

Deborah looked out through the car’s front window and saw people standing outside, their gazes all fixed on her. 

Her fingers curled up in an instant, tightly gripping, as a layer of dense sweat seeped out from her palm. 

Donna didn’t know what she said, and then she started to cry. 

Deborah suddenly wanted to escape, to leave this place. 

After all these years, she didn’t dare to face this moment. 

No one had told her the truth yet, but just by looking, she already understood 

everything. 

Her voice trembled, “Joseph, let’s… let’s go back.” 

Joseph reached out and tightly grasped her hand. 

“Don’t be afraid, let’s go down together.” 

Deborah’s hands trembled as the members of the Moxley family stood in front of the car, anxiously waiting for her to get out. 

Adrian couldn’t contain his impatience and quickly walked over to the passenger side of 

the car. He knocked on the window. 

But he didn’t open the car door. Instead, he knocked on the window and stood outside the passenger side, waiting for Deborah. 

Deborah slowly let go of Joseph’s hand and nodded, “Mhm.” 

She shouldn’t be afraid, for the worst outcome would merely be disappointment! 

Just like in the past twenty or so years, countless times of disappointment have been experienced after anticipation. 

With Joseph by her side and Alyssa there as well, she could bear the disappointment. 

Joseph pushed open the car door and got out, then walked around to the passenger side and pulled open the door. 

Nora and Sebastian supported an emotional Donna, one on each side, as they walked 

together. 

The couple tried to comfort the elderly person, telling them not to cry. However, they 

couldn’t help but shed tears themselves. 

Rebecca managed to get Cassandra to reveal Deborah’s birthmark, and on top of that, Deborah and Nora looked strikingly similar. 

However, these two points alone are not enough to fully prove anything. 

Nora didn’t want any misunderstandings, so she took some of Deborah’s hair and went 

for a paternity test. 

Deborah and Alyssa often stay at Moxley Manor. Just go to their bedroom and you can 

easily find some hair.
