Sweet Marriage: Can't Love You Too Much novel Chapter 10

Celine froze as her expression fell.

"Sister, how could you say that about me?"

Sally also forced a smile. "Nell, your sister has good intentions, so why don't you have a chat with her?

Just talk through any misunderstandings. We're still family."

"Family! Sorry! I can be family with everyone in this house except the two of you.

"Besides, my mom only has one daughter. Since when have I had a sister? Please don't stick your nose in my affairs. Be careful my mom's ghost doesn't visit you in the middle of the night to claim your lives!" 2

"Ahhh-!

Celine screamed in fright from Nell's cold and stern appearance and dove into Sally's arms.

At that moment, a stern shout suddenly sounded from the stairway.

"Nell Jennings!"

Nell looked up and saw Sylvia walking over with a walking stick.

Although the Old Madam was elderly, she was hale and hearty and had a sharp gaze. She usually carried a heavy expression that had a type of intimidating

aura.

However, Nell was not afraid of her. She stood firmly with cold eyes and an imposing impression.

Sylvia hated this part of her the most. She was stubborn and aloof, just like her dead mother. It was a s if she was born with proud genes in her blood so she did not care about anyone else

She snapped coldly. "What did you just say?”

Nell did not bother to answer. There were some things that had no point arguing over more than once.

A few years ago, she had already argued with them about her mother.

Now, she knew that there was no one in this family who cared about her mother, so she did not bother to quarrel with them anymore.

Sylvia thought that Nell remained silent because she was afraid, and her expression loosened.

Then, she looked at Celine who had shrunk in Sally's arms. At that delicate little face that looked like a frightened deer staring at her, her face could not help but ease up a little more.

“Alright!! Since you're back, stop mentioning the past. Let's eat.”

Then, she led the way to the dining room.

Nell frowned but followed after her.

"Nell, I told Aunt Carroll to cook your favorite food since we knew you were coming back. Have a taste. Do you like it?"

As soon as they sat at the table, Sally started picking dishes for her eagerly.

Nell endured the disgust in her heart. She did not move her chopsticks and did not give her any response.

Shaun's temper immediately flared at seeing her sit here like an iceberg.

"What? Is it so wrong to call you for a meal? Sally is still your elder. Don’t you even know how to say 'thank you' when she’s picking food for you?"

Nell continued to remain silent.

Although she did not want bicker with them, they could not expect her to be pleasant to the woman who drove her mother to suicide, much less have a meal at the same table with her.

She put down her chopsticks and said coldly. "Save it! I'm not hungry and I don't want to eat either. Why did you call me back today? Just cut to the chase!”

Sylvia's eyes flashed shrewdly.

This time, she did not get angry and only said in a low voice, "It seems that you hate this family very much. Fine, no one will force you if you don't want to eat. The reason we called you back today was just to inform you about something. "The day after tomorrow is your sister's birthday, and there will be a party held for her. We’ve already discussed it with the Morton family and will announce their relationship at the party. You will have to attend as well.

"If anyone asks, just say that Jason Morton has always been engaged to your sister. This is for your own good. Since your relationship is already something of the past, just let it go!"

Nell looked at her in shock.

She never thought that they would jump through so many hoops to force her home just for this.
