Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 46

“Priscilla, I was against Wes marrying you from the start. No family background, no education. Now, after just three years by Wes’s side, you think you’re somebody and dare to lay a hand on him? Where did you get the nerve?”

“And your little sister–she ran away from her wedding, and now she has the nerve to come back and look for Wes.”

“If you sisters are willing to share a husband, our Carlton family can’t afford to lose face like that.”

“Utterly no manners.”

Priscilla clenched her fingers and listened as Amelia criticized her from head to toe, leaving her worthless.

But she couldn’t even argue back. She could only remain silent.

It wasn’t until Wesley arrived that Amelia finally stopped talking.

Wesley reached out to Priscilla from afar. “Come here.”

Priscilla lowered her eyes and walked over.

Wesley rested his hand on her shoulder and, not very warmly, said to Amelia, “Priscilla will take care of me here. You should go home.”

Amelia glared fiercely at Priscilla and warned her to take good care of Wesley before finally leaving.

Priscilla took Wesley back to the ward.

Wesley lay on the hospital bed. Seeing Priscilla’s pale face, he tried to

reassure her “It’s nothing serious. Don’t wony”

Priscilla looked at him quietly and asked in a soft voice, “Why did you shield me?”

“You’re my wife. Of course I’ll protect you.” There was a hint of helplessness in Wesley’s brows, “I already told the doctor what to say Why did you tell Mom that you hit me?”

Priscilla didn’t cover for Dillon and told him about how he had threatened her with Grandma.

After all, Wesley knew the truth.

Wesley fell silent. He hadn’t expected Dillon to be that kind of person

Suddenly, he found himself understanding, just a little, that why Priscilla disliked the Wilburn family.

Meanwhile, in the parking lot downstairs.

As soon as Dillon got in the car, Tania complained anxiously, “Did you eat gunpowder today? Why did you hit?”

If he hadn’t suddenly lashed out, he wouldn’t have ended up hitting Wesley.

Dillon was in a good mood, even smiling. “Wes has feelings for Priscilla as his wife.”

Tania didn’t understand.

Dillon lowered his voice and told her about coming to see Priscilla with Bonnie earlier, and also about what had just happened in the doctor’s office–how Wesley had lied about his head injury.

Wesley lied to protect Priscilla.

“I did it on purpose. I was testing Wes’s feelings.”

“If Wes cares about Priscilla, life will be much easier for our family”

For the past three years, he had always worried that Wesley was, dissatisfied with Priscilla, and that one day he might end the relationship and cut ties. That’s why he never dared to get too close to Wesley, let alone use the status of father–in–law in public.

It wasn’t until Larissa came back, and Wesley still treated her as before, that he started to have new ideas.

Now Wesley cared about Priscilla again…

In short, whichever daughter got along with Wesley, it was good for

him.

Tania looked worried. “Priscilla has never been close to us.

“With Mom living at home, she’ll listen to us.”

Ten o’clock at night.

Larissa came to see Wesley.

Priscilla didn’t want to listen to their lingering and sentimental talk, so she found an excuse to leave the hospital room.

“Priscilla still hates me,” Larissa said in her usual aggrieved tone.

Larissa’s mood had been up and down today. She realized she could no longer remain indifferent to this Priscilla.

“That’s just her temper.” Wesley replied calmly.

Still, Larissa could hear something different in his tone.

In the past, Wesley would sound a bit impatient, more or less feeling

that Priscilla was unreasonable.

But now, there was a hint of indulgent resignation in his voice.

“Priscilla has won Sir Livingston’s favor. I should be happy for her, but I just feel disappointed. I only asked her a few questions about her relationship with Mr. Livingston, but she said my tears were disgusting.” As Larissa spoke, her eyes turned red and were full of grievance and disappointment.

Wesley frowned. Priscilla was indeed capable of saying something like

that.

“Then Claud saw it. You know how he always feels sorry for me. Before I could explain, he rushed out to find Priscilla.”

“Sorry to have dragged you into this, Wes.”

Wesley had never been able to bring himself to blame Larissa harshly, she had always been gentle by nature.

“I’m fine, you don’t need to worry.”

He rubbed his brow, then, as if something occurred to him, he asked Larissa, “Has your father always disliked Priscilla?”

That slap had been quite forceful.

If it had really landed on Priscilla’s face, her face would have swollen
