“Huh? Wyatt, why isn’t Bella here?” Lance did not give up. He craned his neck to look out.
“No need to look. Bella is still injured and unable to greet guests. I’ve asked her to rest at home recently, so she won’t be coming over tonight,” Wyatt calmly said.
“Wyatt, this is not fair. You said you would bring Bella. Why did you go against your words? Furthermore, how are we guests? We will become a family in the future!” Lance nagged, but he felt confused.
Wyatt sat down. “If you care about Bella, you’ll let her rest and stop tiring her out.”
Before the horse racing event, Lance met with Wyatt privately.
They had a great talk, and Wyatt was satisfied with his youngest son, patting his chest and guaranteeing that he would facilitate this marriage alliance to let Bella marry Christopher and become Lance’s daughter-in-law.
Lance also considered Charles’s marriage. After all, Charles was still his flesh and blood, the son he doted on the most, apart from James.
So, Lance wanted to use this opportunity to have a double celebration, proposing another marriage between the families. This time, with Amelia and Charles.
Initially, with Amelia’s background as a mistress’s daughter, Lance felt she was unworthy of Charles.
But now that Charles was left with one leg, he had no right to pick and choose, and the unimpressive Amelia suddenly seemed like a valid choice.
Therefore, he brought Charles here tonight to meet with Amelia.
But he could not understand why Wyatt, who had approved of Christopher as his son-in-law, did not bring Bella. Wyatt’s attitude was also colder than before.
Christopher’s interest was gone, and he downed a glass of wine sullenly.
Unaware, Amelia was dressed in an elegant, white-laced dress, making her skin look fairer. As she was a dancer, her posture was graceful and stunning. Her exposed calf was fair and straight, looking like a flawless piece of art.
