Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 44: Family Dinner 3

The butler pushed open the heavy double doors to make way for their entry into the mansion and with a slow swish sound it glided open and the warmth of the chandeliers and the hushed voices welcomed them.

After Davis was discharged from the hospital Elder Allen ensured he invited the renovation team to renovate the building creating a path for Davis wheelchair to pass through so that he can have an easy access anytime he returns to the family.

With a slow calculated step, Jessica pushed him forward with Ethan following closely behind clutching her handbag tightly.

As the trio stepped into the living room, the chattering and laughter that has paused momentarily resumed in hushed whispers, their glances filtering to Davis who sat on the wheelchair, his outfit dazzling despite not standing his aura remained intimidating.

This is different from what they had heard and expected.

Jessica paused briefly in her step, their gaze scanning through the living room taking note of the expressions donning the faces of the people inside —guilt, mockery, contempt, pity, cold, distant, arrogant but one thing she is sure of no one actually cared.

The sight of them made her stomach churn with dismay. Davis has been counted out of the family. He is now an unwelcomed guest into their beautiful world.

She felt their coldness permeating to every part of her body but now is not the time to take note of these emotions. She felt Davis hand clenched lightly on the armrest of the wheelchair.

She promised herself to settle this account with everyone of them that had taken a part in his pain.

She bent down lightly to Davis ear "Are you okay?" She asked in a whisper.
