His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 493

“Now look what you’ve done!” Eloise glared at Joseph fiercely and quickly went upstairs.

Brittany followed Arianna back to the room. She looked at Arianna’s speechless appearance and wanted to comfort her but did not know what to say. Brittany only stood behind Arianna, hoping it would comfort her even a little.

On the contrary, Arianna turned to look at Brittany and smiled. Her smile looked far-stretched and distressing, obviously a forced one. Arianna said, “I’m sorry you had to see that.”

"Don't say that!" Brittany stepped forward and hugged Arianna, suddenly feeling her friend was in a more tragic situation than herself. Brittany could not get what she asked for, but Arianna had to face her arguing parents.

Arianna’s father had a mistress and an illegitimate son. He was also patriarchal, as he would give his family business to his illegitimate son rather than divide it with his daughter just because Arianna was a girl.

Joseph wanted to continue arguing, but Eloise had already gone upstairs. She knocked on the door, politely saying hello, and then pushing the door open to enter. The sight of Brittany slightly startled Eloise as she probably did not expect someone else to be in her home.

Still, she quickly nodded to Brittany and smiled gently. “Oh, hey, Brittany.”

"Hello, Ms. Neville!" Brittany greeted obediently.

Eloise nodded, then walked straight to Arianna. She stood before Arianna and looked at her for two seconds before opening her mouth, "Dear, why didn't you go out with Brittany?"

Eloise did not intend to say this when she came in but changed her mind when she saw Brittany.

"It's too cold outside, so I didn't want to go out," Arianna lightly said as she looked down at the floor.
