Before Sabrina could finish, Mrs. Blake, who already had one foot out the door, suddenly turned and shot a cold glare back at her.
Sabrina’s eyes met the old woman’s, and she froze instantly.
That look was sharp as a knife, laced with a menace that struck deep into her soul.
Bella saw it too and immediately moved to her mother’s side.
She had a clear view of the blatant contempt in Mrs. Blake’s eyes.
It was as if she and her mother were some kind of trash.
Mrs. Blake’s haughty gaze made it clear she looked down on them both.
Bella knew that even though Sebastian had fought hard for the right to marry her, the elder Blakes disapproved of her and did not support their marriage.
Their agreement was purely a reluctant compromise.
After that single warning glance from Mrs. Blake, Sabrina could only watch as they left.
Martin turned to her and said in a low voice, “That’s enough. The wedding is the children’s business. Let them handle it as they see fit.”
Martin left something unsaid: he, too, felt that Sabrina was unworthy of discussing wedding matters with the elder Blakes.
Even though Sabrina had married him, their statuses were still not equal.
And because of that inequality, the Blake family would never respect her.
“But…” Sabrina protested. “But no matter what, a wedding is the biggest event in their lives.
Besides, this is our Bella’s first marriage. We can’t let her be treated unfairly, can we?”
Sebastian overheard their conversation but remained silent.
