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.
He had given her his first time, just as she did him.
Even though men naturally have an instinct regarding sex, she could still tell that it was his first time.
At this thought, Denise let out a sigh and lifted her head to stare at Steven and Gwen. “Sean and I will meet Thomas in person to explain all this.
“Even though Thomas and I hadn’t slept together at all, what I did affect him very much, and even led to him losing his relationship with Yannie. Therefore, I owe them an explanation and the truth.”
With that, she reached out to clasp Sean’s hand and smiled at her brother. “Don’t worry about me, Steven. Sean is a good person. Even though I haven’t known him for long, I can already tell what kind of person he is from the way he’s treated me thus far.
“All he heard about me was negative stuff coming out of Joshua and Thomas‘ mouths, yet he’s still willing to accept me and even marry me…this proves everything about his character.”
Steven did not know how to counter this. He stared at Denise for a long time, frowning, and finally asked, If that’s the case, why were you crying on the phone just now?”
He could clearly hear from her voice that she had been crying, and this was also evident by how swollen her eyes were..
If Sean was truly the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, why was she crying?
“Steven…” Denise sighed and tightened her grip on Sean’s hand. “These are tears of happiness.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“When I was on the phone with you, Sean and I discovered the blood on the sheets, which made me realize that…nothing had happened between Thomas and me at all. I was so relieved by this that I cried tears of happiness.”
