Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Family Dinner 3

The butler pushed open the heavy double doors to make way for their entry into the mansion and with a slow swish sound it glided open and the warmth of the chandeliers and the hushed voices welcomed them.

After Davis was discharged from the hospital Elder Allen ensured he invited the renovation team to renovate the building creating a path for Davis wheelchair to pass through so that he can have an easy access anytime he returns to the family.

With a slow calculated step, Jessica pushed him forward with Ethan following closely behind clutching her handbag tightly.

As the trio stepped into the living room, the chattering and laughter that has paused momentarily resumed in hushed whispers, their glances filtering to Davis who sat on the wheelchair, his outfit dazzling despite not standing his aura remained intimidating.

This is different from what they had heard and expected.

Jessica paused briefly in her step, their gaze scanning through the living room taking note of the expressions donning the faces of the people inside —guilt, mockery, contempt, pity, cold, distant, arrogant but one thing she is sure of no one actually cared.

The sight of them made her stomach churn with dismay. Davis has been counted out of the family. He is now an unwelcomed guest into their beautiful world.

She felt their coldness permeating to every part of her body but now is not the time to take note of these emotions. She felt Davis hand clenched lightly on the armrest of the wheelchair.

She promised herself to settle this account with everyone of them that had taken a part in his pain.

She bent down lightly to Davis ear "Are you okay?" She asked in a whisper.

Davis hummed lightly though his hand has tightened on the wheelchair immediately he came face to face with the same people that had failed and betrayed him but that familiar voice, that scent brought warmth to him, he is certain of one thing—he is not alone not anymore.

He felt the courage and determination not to be a failure. Vera felt her eyes stung as her gaze fell on Davis and Jessica. Davis soft expression not escaping her eyes.

This has always been hers, she didn’t expect he will just forget about her and be comfortable with another woman who was clearly forced on him with a plan, she is not reconciled with this result.

Vera glared at Jessica with intensity. Jessica felt the intense unfriendly gaze emanating from her even from the distance, she flashed her a beautiful dazzling smile.

She sighed deeply and resumed pushing the wheelchair to the left wing of the room that has more space for them.

She settled on the couch, Davis remained in his wheelchair and Ethan took his seat Davis making him seated at the middle of the two. It was as though they are his guardian.

"Miss Brown, I think I made the right choice seeing you have really gotten into your role properly." Desmond jabbed, his lips curled in a cold arc.

He is yet to settle the score with her but this time he must pick his battle wisely like a wise man he is and deal with her the hard way, let her enjoy her freedom for now, he thought to himself.

"Mr. Allen I think there is an omission in my title... and I think someone of your status should know such a little thing", she smirked.
