Steven furrowed his brow upon hearing this. He turned to stare coldly at Sean. "You…"
"We're planning to get married." Sean lifted his head to stare earnestly back at Steven. "This is the reason Denise called you just now. She wanted to discuss our wedding with you.
"She said that even though the Hughes family adopted and raised her like their own, she no longer thought of them as family after how they treated her, and the only family she has left is you. Therefore, she wanted to discuss our wedding with you first before proceeding with any of the arrangements.
"You're also going to be the only family from her side at our wedding."
Steven's entire body stiffened when he heard this. He turned to stare dazedly at Denise. "Denise… How long have you known this man? How are you going to marry him after only knowing him for barely a day? Aren't you going to reconsider this?"
He did not have anything against Sean, but he did not think that Denise could have known him very well. If anything, she probably knew as little about Sean as he did.
Even though Gwen could vouch for Sean's character, this did not mean that he would be okay with his sister getting married to this man just one day after meeting.
"I won't reconsider." Denise lifted her head to meet Steven's gaze. "Sean is just my type, and he truly cares for me. If it weren't for him, I'd probably be in the slums right now…"
Denise could not help breaking out in cold sweats at this thought.
What would happen to her if Sean had not come through the night before?
Despite having no idea what happened between her and Thomas, Sean still chose to believe that she was a good person and tried everything in his power to stop her from spiraling any further.
