Shattered Rose He Held On Tight novel Chapter 270

Kamila bit her lower lip. “Hold on!”

She looked straight at Sterling. “I know Aunt Winnie hurt you before, but my family wants to make things right. Why do you keep pushing us away? Sterling, you know that being on our side is much better than fighting against us. Why make things harder for yourself because of something that happened long ago?”

To be honest, she thought that a marriage between two powerful families would be the smartest choice.

She even hinted at it, saying, “Aunt Winnie might be reckless and spoiled, and she’s been married for over 20 years. But I’m my dad’s only daughter. No matter what, my family will always support me.”

Claudia, whom Kamila ignored to see, quietly moved closer to Sterling. She held his arm and blinked her big eyes at Kamila, who kept talking nonstop.

So, was Kamila saying that the Lloyds could just abandon Winnie whenever they wanted?

Ha.

Now this was getting interesting.

Kamila tried hard not to notice Claudia shamelessly clinging to Sterling like a decoration and spoke more gently, “Let’s have lunch together and talk things over, okay? I already made a reservation at a nice restaurant before coming.”

She was sure Sterling wouldn’t reject her.

As the eldest daughter in the Llyods, who rarely had girls, Kamila had always been loved and spoiled. She knew how beautiful she was, and she also knew that her powerful family made her more appealing to men.

Sometimes, she wished Winnie weren’t her aunt.

If that wasn’t the case, she could’ve gone after Sterling openly long ago,

Lately, for some reason, Corbin and Julian had been trying to please Sterling. They even quietly gave her permission to get close to him.

The sudden change surprised her.

In the past, because of Winnie, her family didn’t want her to have anything to do with Sterling. Even though they knew she liked him, she had to listen and keep her feelings hidden. She knew

she depended on her family, so no matter how unwilling she was, she had to keep her feelings buried deep inside.

But now that her elders had given their approval, she didn’t hold back anymore.

As for Claudia… she tried to ignore the uneasy feeling in her heart.

People from powerful families like theirs didn’t really get to have true love.

Just like how she had liked Sterling for so many years, but still could’ve given up if her family

said no.

If things hadn’t suddenly changed, she would have kept her feelings hidden forever.

Compared to Claudia, she believed she would be a much better wife for the future head of the Romeros.

Years ago, Sterling’s father had deeply loved Isabella, but their story ended badly. In the end, he married Winnie for the sake of the family’s interests.

Sterling was smarter than his father, Quinton, and Kamila wasn’t as bold or sharp–tongued as Winnie.

She truly believed that they could get along well.

All they needed was to take the first step and stop letting their family history hold them back.

Kamila looked at Sterling, her eyes full of hope.

Someone nearby, who had been watching the whole scene, couldn’t help but laugh, and the man beside her gave her waist a light pinch.

Claudia quickly straightened up.

“No way-” she said in her sweet and playful voice, breaking the heavy silence in the room.

She gave Sterling’s arm a little pinch in return.

Then, playing along with him, she wrapped her arms around his and showed a proud, teasing smile. “He’s having lunch with me in the cafeteria-”

Sterling, who had been cold and serious after hearing Kamila’s words, couldn’t help but let out a

small smile.

Always up to something.

Kamila’s face fell.
