The Daughter in the Shadows (by Una Norris) novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88 The Man She Was Forced to Marry

Wyatt lowered his gaze to her. “Can you still move your arms?”

Yunice tried to stretch one out.

To her surprise, Wyatt crouched slightly, slipping his shoulder under her arm. “Hold on to me.”

Feeling his arm curve under the bend of her knee. Yunice instinctively tightened her grip around his shoulder.

A second later, Wyatt effortlessly lifted her with one arm.

The entire room froze, stunned.

They had all assumed Wyatt was just some cripple who couldn’t do anything–but none of them had expected him to pick her up like that, so calm and strong.

Paul felt like something sharp had pierced his chest. His eyes flicked to Wyatt, then to Yunice, who didn’t resist. Finally, he dropped his gaze in silence.

Wyatt hadn’t come just to visit. He had come to take Yunice away.

Luke moved to stop him. “Mr. Cooper, there’s no rush. Let Ms. Saunders get her measurements first so we can get started on the wedding gown.”

Owen waited, but Paul stopped there.

He pressed, “And?”

Owen’s frown deepened. He didn’t quite get what Paul was implying

Maybe it involved secrets within the Powell family. If Paul wouldn’t spell it out, Owen didn’t feel right pushing further

Elsie watched Paul closely. Seeing how tense he looked, she figured something really was off about Wyatt. If Yunice married him, she definitely wouldn’t have a good time.

She’d just left the night before and was already back again. It was the third time she’d been admitted in a week.

Yunice gave a sheepish smile. Honestly, if Wyatt hadn’t taken her seriously, she wouldn’t even have made it past the front desk. Without an ID, she couldn’t even register.

пош.

She hadn’t wanted this marriage–and Wyatt would want it even less.

He was at the height of his career, with every wealthy family’s daughter waiting for his attention. Marrying her would be seen as a joke, a stain on his reputation.

She’d grown up around the Powell family and had seen firsthand how Mr. Jackson operated. Unless he was absolutely certain, he’d never force someone’s hand. But once he made a move, it was already too late to
